Patriots | Jahlani Tavai likely done until training camp Tue Jun 3, 03:14 PM
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots LB Jahlani Tavai (calf) suffered a calf injury on Monday, June 2, that is expected to keep him sidelined until training camp, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: When Tavai had to exit practice on Monday, reporters noted that it looked like a potentially significant injury. So this latest report is good news. As pointed out by Mike Reiss of ESPN, Tavai had been in the mix at inside linebacker during the offseason program, though free-agent signee Robert Spillane has been leading the charge. |

Broncos | Alex Singleton may be limited Mon May 26, 06:09 PM
Denver Broncos LB Alex Singleton (knee) may be a limited participant during offseason workouts because he is not fully recovered from the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered during the 2024 season.
| Footballguys view: Singleton missed the final 15 games last season with that ACL injury. But his recovery is on schedule, and a cautious approach during OTAs makes sense. |

49ers | Three-year extension for Fred Warner Mon May 19, 05:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers LB Fred Warner agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the 49ers Monday, May 19, worth $63 million. The deal includes $56.7 million in guaranteed money.
| Footballguys view: After completing lucrative contract extensions with quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle in recent weeks, the 49ers had one more key player to take care of to wrap up their most pressing offseason business. While Purdy's deal represented the largest deal in team history (five years for $265 million, including $181 million in overall guaranteed money) and the biggest raise the Niners have ever handed out, Warner's extension always figured to be a bit easier because he had two years remaining on the five-year, $95 million deal he signed in 2021. With Warner, 28, Purdy, and Kittle signed before the on-field portion of organized team activities begin, the 49ers can rest easy from a business standpoint as they head toward training camp. |

Broncos | Alex Singleton optimistic about Week 1 Wed May 7, 01:53 PM
Denver Broncos LB Alex Singleton (knee) said he is on track in his recovery from knee injury and believe he will be ready to play Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Singleton played 190 defensive snaps last season, with 49 coming after he tore an anterior cruciate ligament. Singleton injured his knee on the eighth play of the Week 3 win over the Buccaneers on Sept. 22. He didn't miss a snap in the game, but the injury did end the rest of his season. But Singleton, LB20 on the Footballguys Projections, has worked with the Broncos' vice president of player health and performance, Beau Lowery, every day since his surgery on Oct. 15. He posted a video to his Instagram of him running full speed. "Let's just say we're in a really good spot," Singleton said. "You get three more months. Three more. So we're good." |

Falcons | ATL fined after prank call saga Wed Apr 30, 11:43 AM
Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was fined $100,000, and the team was fined $250,000 for the fraudulent phone call made to QB Shedeur Sanders at the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Ulbrich's 21-year-old son admitted to the prank call and apologized in an Instagram post Sunday. The Falcons said in a statement Sunday that Jax Ulbrich wrote down the number from his father's open iPad while visiting his parents' home "to later conduct a prank call." The NFL said the fines were for "failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL Draft." The Falcons noted that "the Ulbrich family is working with the organization to participate in community service initiatives in relation to last week's matter." Sanders, who had been widely expected to be selected in the first round before the NFL draft started, had to wait until Day 3 of the draft for his slide to end when the Cleveland Browns picked him in the fifth round. In a conference call with Cleveland-area reporters after the Browns drafted him, Sanders said he wasn't bothered by the prank. |
