Miami Dolphins WR Tahj Washington (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, July 16. The Dolphins also placed S Mark Perry on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.
Link to storyFree-agent S Justin Simmons (Broncos) is not sure when he'll sign with a team in free agency, he said on Thursday, July 11. 'Who knows? I could sign tomorrow, I could sign two weeks into camp, I could sign the first game of the season. You just never know how these things go,' he said. 'So, it's caused me to slow down and give up control because it's not in my control.'
Footballguys view: Simmons is going to be on a roster before the start of the regular season. Even though he's still a free agent at this time of year, Simmons should command a nice salary - but he's likely looking for a contender (and may have to take a reduced price). We'll see who gets a deal done in the next month or so. |

Free-agent S Justin Simmons (Broncos) is drawing considerable interest, and NFL insider Ian Rapoport thinks Simmons may be the best free agent still available.
Footballguys view: Simmons is a ball hawk at the safety position, and some team is going to get a great player. The Broncos moved for salary cap reasons, but Simmons can still play good football. We should see Simmons sign with a contender before the start of the regular season. |

Link to storyAfter being held without an interception for the first time in his career in 2023, DB Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to be used this season in a way that better suits his strengths, according to defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. Fitzpatrick lined up at free safety for 76% of his defensive snaps in 2022, when he had a career-high six interceptions, but was used at the position for only 51% of his snaps in 2023, due to injuries and suspensions to teammates. As a result, he spent nearly 30% of his snaps last season lined up in the box and played 16% of his snaps in the slot, compared to 8% in 2022.
