Cleveland Browns DT Mason Graham said he dealt with a broken rib during the end of the 2025 season.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals DE Myles Murphy did not have his fifth-year option picked up, so he enters the final season of his rookie contract. He didn't see any starts until the 2025 season, when he made 10 starts. He was good for a career-high 52 tackles with 5.5 sacks and six tackles for loss. Heading into 2026, he could have a big season, as he works for a future contract shot with either the Bengals or another organization.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints DT Christen Miller (undisclosed) did not see the field during rookie minicamp, as he has been dealing with an undisclosed injury. When he is healthy, his versatility is expected to get him on the field quickly. 'Big, powerful young man and adds to a great room, so we're excited to get him,' general manager Mickey Loomis said.
Link to storyChicago Bears DE Dayo Odeyingbo (Achilles) is expected to be ready for training camp after being limited to eight games due to an Achilles' rupture after signing a three-year, $48 million deal in March 2025.

Chicago Bears DE Montez Sweat had a team-high 10 sacks last season, while leading the team with 44 pressures. The team struggled in pass rush, but Sweat certainly did his part. However, he had 27 more pressures than the next best Chicago player, DT Gervon Dexter Sr. That difference of 27 was the fourth largest between a team's top two pressure generators last season.

Kansas City Chiefs second-round draft choice DE R Mason Thomas signed a four-year contract with the Chiefs Thursday, May 21. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Thomas is an edge rush demon who might be limited to that role because of his size a la Bruce Irvin. He might be the best pure edge rusher in the 2026 draft, and could also make an instant impact on a team that is in a Super Bowl window. Whether that will translate to IDP league value depends on Thomas's ability to stay on the field on early downs. |
New York Giants DT Roy Robertson-Harris (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in organized team activities Thursday, May 21, and will miss the entire 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: The Giants are trying to replace Dexter Lawrence after trading him to the Bengals for the #10 pick of the draft (used to take OT/OG Francis Mauigoa). They also signed DJ Reader and Shelby Harris, but this is a blow to a unit that was already coming into the season much weaker without its long-time leader. |

Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby (knee) should be available for the start of training camp, according to head coach Klint Kubiak.
| Footballguys view: It's been quite an unusual offseason for Crosby. He underwent knee surgery at the beginning of the offseason and was going to be traded to the Ravens. The deal was nixed due to concerns about his knee. Now, he's staying with the Raiders and focused on getting out there later this summer. Crosby's relationship with the Raiders seems to be better, but there are still many speculating he could be dealt around the trade deadline. |

Link to storyFree-agent DE Cameron Jordan (Saints) has received a contract offer from the New Orleans Saints this offseason, according to general manager Mickey Loomis.
| Footballguys view: Jordan has talked about leaving the door open to returning to New Orleans for his 16th season, but he hasn't accepted that contract offer. That suggests Jordan is looking for something more from the Saints or someone else before making any commitment for the coming season. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is '100 percent' in the conservation of elite quarterbacks in the NFL, according to teammate DL Arik Armstead. 'The steps that he's taken this year to improve. A big area for me and what solidified it for me was that Denver game on the road,' Armstead said. 'Denver coming in, an elite defense, one of the best defenses in the leagues, pass rush, blitzes, playmakers all over the field. They were sending pressure at him, they were throwing zero looks, they were rushing with four with some great guys.'
| Footballguys view: It's a fair assessment. After all, Lawrence played the best football of his five-year NFL career over the second half of last season. The Jaguars won eight consecutive games (and averaged an NFL-best 33.6 points per game over that span) to close out the regular season. Lawrence scored 24 total touchdowns, 19 of them through the air, with just five interceptions during that stretch. He finished the season as QB4 with 342.2 fantasy points, but was QB1 from Weeks 10 through 17. Lawrence is currently being drafted as QB10. |

Carolina Panthers DE Tershawn Wharton will reportedly be out 'a while' after undergoing a neck procedure and is expected to begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, according to Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer on Friday, May 15.
| Footballguys view: This shouldn't be a big issue for the defense even though the team gave Wharton a three-year, $45 million contract last year because they drafted a top defensive tackle prospect - Lee Hunter from Texas Tech - in the second round. It's possible, if not likely, that the Panthers factored this injury into their draft plans. |

Carolina Panthers DL Lee Hunter signed his rookie contract with the team on Friday, May 15. It is for four years, though financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Hunter will be a stout presence against the run and he can get after the quarterback, just like his new running mate Derrick Brown. They should make each other more effective and give opposing offenses trouble once Hunter is up to speed. |

Baltimore Ravens LBs Mike Green and Zion Young are players the organization is excited about, and general manager Eric DeCosta said it is a challenge of balancing playing time at outside linebacker while evaluating several younger players.
