Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown and his reps are 'working hard' on an extension.
| Footballguys view: Browns 2025 season started slowly, but he exploded in the second half of the year and finished with his first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. Add in his 69 catches and you can see how impactful Brown is on the Bengals' offense. With Joe Burrow back in action in 2026, Brown can continue to be the primary back on an explosive offense. |

Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. continued impressing at Senior Bowl practices Wednesday, Jan. 28. He had a few of those runs where he exhibited quick, downhill cuts that sprung long gains on outside runs. He also made explosive plays as a pass catcher in one-on-one drills.
| Footballguys view: Washington is a big back (228 pounds) and is a bell-cow back who can take on a large workload. In addition to size and contact balance, Washington can be relied on as a receiver out of the backfield. Early projections have Washington going off the board in the mid-rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Baylor WR Josh Cameron has impressed at the Senior Bowl with his size and hands. He fought through cornerbacks looking to impede his route and overpowered them to the spot for the catch. He was able to outwork tight man coverage for 50/50 balls that typically turn into incompletions. Some draft experts are raising his grade based on his performance thus far.

Link to storyDenver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) said he suffered a typical bone break and is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Nix is unlikely to miss any preparation time this offseason. The team could limit him in minicamp and OTAs, but this is a much better time than initially reported. The Broncos were Super Bowl contenders with Nix, and they'll be in the mix for a deep postseason run in 2026. |

Missouri WR Kevin Coleman was a smooth route runner during Senior Bowl practice Tuesday, Jan. 27, and showed reliable hand, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jordan Reid. He also did not have a problem fielding punts on a windy day.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is built for All-Star practices like this week's festivities in Mobile, AL. He's a quick and fast receiver who accelerates in the blink of an eye. His ability after the catch makes him a weapon to be concerned with, no matter the target depth. He'll need to add more strength to his frame to take the beating WRs get in the NFL, but Coleman is a mid-round pick and climbing draft boards. |
John Carroll WR Tyren Montgomery made some plays during Senior Bowl practice Wednesday, Jan. 28, and has helped his draft stock this week, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jordan Reid.
| Footballguys view: A Division III player, Montgomery is standing out at the Senior Bowl against D-1 talent. A former walk-on at LSU (basketball), Montgomery proved himself over the last two years (over 2,600 yards receiving and 32 touchdowns). He's gotten the attention of scouts at the Senior Bowl and could be moving up in the draft (to perhaps the mid-rounds). |

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) did not tear his ACL in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans. Further testing reveals he suffered a bone bruise that did not require surgery.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Minshew as he's an unrestricted free agent this offseason. With no knee injury to deal with this offseason, there's likely to be at least a few teams interested in Minshew as a backup quarterback. |
