Broncos | Bo Nix to have shorter recovery Wed Jan 28, 07:53 PM
Denver 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. |

NFL | Kevin Coleman impressive at Senior Bowl Wed Jan 28, 06:48 PM
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. |
NFL | Tyren Montgomery performing well Wed Jan 28, 06:35 PM
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). |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew did not tear his ACL Wed Jan 28, 01:16 PM
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. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. working his way back Wed Jan 28, 01:12 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is working out and eyeing a return to full workout by April.

NFL | LSU's Garrett Nussmeier dealt with oblique issue in 2025 Tue Jan 27, 11:31 PM
LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier (oblique) suffered an abdominal injury in August, and the injury hampered him into September and October before eventually ending his season a month prematurely. 'I couldn't use my core. So, I was throwing the ball without a core,' Nussmeier said at the Senior Bowl. 'I've been having to go back from the ground up and retrain myself and get back to finishing throws and rotating through the ball. I'm actually using my core now.' He completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,927 yards and 12 TDs in 2025 before shutting it down.

Steelers | Mike McCarthy 'excited' about Will Howard Tue Jan 27, 02:49 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said he is 'excited' about QB Will Howard.
| Footballguys view: While McCarthy was quick to acknowledge he'd like Aaron Rodgers to return for the 2026 season, free agency starts in six weeks. If Rodgers isn't returning, they'll need to have a plan. At least part of that will be Howard. "I think he's someone that I thought he really came on at Ohio State," McCarthy told reporters. "I'm anxious to work with him, so it'd be great to have Aaron back, but Will and Mason [Rudolph], I'm really excited to get started with those guys." Stay tuned. |
Eagles | Sean Mannion set to interview for OC vacancy Tue Jan 27, 01:32 PM
Green Bay Packers QB coach Sean Mannion will interview for the offensive coordinator vacancy of the Philadelphia Eagles this week.
| Footballguys view: This will be Mannion's second interview with the club, as he previously met virtually with the Eagles. Mannion, 33, just finished his first year as Green Bay's quarterbacks coach. A Rams third-round pick in 2015, Mannion played for the Rams from 2015 to 2018. He also played for Seattle and Minnesota. In Green Bay, Mannion has worked closely with Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Mannion has also coached backup Malik Willis, who has played well when called upon. The Eagles are searching for their fifth offensive coordinator under head coach Nick Sirianni after moving on from Kevin Patullo after one season. |

Broncos | Bo Nix could be ready for training camp Tue Jan 27, 01:28 PM
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton says it 'seems fairly optimistic' that QB Bo Nix (ankle) will be ready for training camp. Nix suffered a broken ankle that required surgery in the AFC divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: The initial phase of recovery from last week's surgery is the most challenging part of this injury. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Nix is not supposed to put any weight on his ankle for at least four weeks, and he will miss 12 weeks altogether before he can return to activity. Nix is expected to be largely recovered in time to participate in the Broncos' offseason program. Still, doctors are trying to be very intentional with what Denver's quarterback can and can't do over the next 12 weeks. We'll be watching for more. |
Patriots | Drake Maye battling shoulder issue Tue Jan 27, 12:17 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) is battling a shoulder ailment but should be fine to play in the Super Bowl.
| Footballguys view: Asked about online speculation that Maye suffered an injury in the AFC Championship Game win over the Broncos, head coach Mike Vrabel did not answer that specifically, instead saying, "There's not a player on our team that's 100 percent healthy" at this point in the year. At a press conference later in the day, Vrabel was asked if interest in Maye's shoulder has been overblown. Vrabel said it "probably" has been. The Patriots will release an injury report on Wednesday, but next week's practice and injury updates will be of greater import when setting the stage for Super Bowl LX. |
Falcons | Franchise tag a possibility for Kyle Pitts? Tue Jan 27, 12:34 AM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts could be a candidate for the franchise tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who quotes an AFC executive that says the projected $15.9 million tag number is 'reasonable,' and that retaining Pitts 'seems like a good move at this stage.'
| Footballguys view: The 2025 campaign was set up as a make-or-break season for Pitts. Turns out, his fifth season was his best as a pro, with 88 catches for 928 yards and 5 touchdowns. His TE2 finish overall was the kind of outcome fantasy investors have been hoping for since his 1,000-yard rookie season. While the team's QB situation is still to be determined, new head coach Kevin Stefanski leaned heavily on the tight end position. We'll all be interested to see how Pitts might fit into that scheme. |

Cardinals | Day two pick for Kyler Murray? Tue Jan 27, 12:11 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray likely will be made available in a trade this offseason, and the Cardinals are expected to look for at least a Day 2 pick in any trade, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Whether the Cardinals want to trade Murray is one of the most important offseason questions for Arizona. According to ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss, before Jonathan Gannon was fired a day after the regular season, the belief inside the Cardinals was that a decision would be reached within the first two weeks of the offseason. However, with Arizona on the hunt for a new head coach, that decision could be tabled until the new coach and his staff are in place. It's a situation that bears watching. |

Cowboys | Dallas could clash with George Pickens over contract Tue Jan 27, 12:11 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens, who is set to become a free agent, is expected to receive the franchise tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, but the belief is that Pickens will be seeking a 'long-term deal.' If the Cowboys don't sign him to a long-term contract, some believe Pickens will stay away from the team 'for a large portion of the offseason or even training camp.' Pickens can further apply pressure by refusing to sign the franchise tag.
| Footballguys view: Pickens only broke 1,000-plus receiving yards once in his three seasons in Pittsburgh, totaling just 12 touchdowns through the air, so the Cowboys have to decide if he's a one-hit wonder or if playing next to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb helped unlock Pickens' skill set. Although he did disappear at times, Sports Illustrated pointed out that in the three games Lamb missed due to injury, Pickens caught 19 passes for 359 yards and four touchdowns, showing his ability to carry an undermanned wide receiver room. If tagged, both sides would have until July 15 to reach a deal. |
Rams | Puka Nacua averaged over 100 yards per game Tue Jan 27, 12:10 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua averaged 107.2 yards per game during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: This just in: Nacua is really good at his job. He led the league with 129 receptions, finished second in receiving yards with 1,715 passing yards and scored 11 total touchdowns. His success was all-encompassing, as he led the league in contested catches (27), according to Pro Football Focus, and finished first among receivers in yards after catch (729), according to Next Gen Stats. In addition to being a finalist for the NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Nacua finished 2025 as fantasy's WR1 overall. It's not a reach to believe he'll be the first player selected in many fantasy drafts this summer. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter see more work at CB in 2026 Tue Jan 27, 12:07 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter will probably see more playing time at cornerback next season since the team has multiple cornerbacks that will become free agents this offseason, according to general manager James Gladstone. 'At this point walking into the offseason, corner is a position that we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts. By default, you can expect there to be a higher emphasis on his placement [at corner},' Gladstone said.
| Footballguys view: Hunter's rookie season ended with 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown, 15 tackles, and three pass breakups. He played 67 percent of the team's offensive snaps and 36 percent of the defensive snaps before his season-ending knee injury Oct. 30. Hunter has been rehabbing since undergoing surgery to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee Nov. 11. We'll be watching for more, but short of roster moves to shore up the secondary, expect to see Hunter playing more defense. |
Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba a top producer in 2025 Tue Jan 27, 12:06 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba averaged 105.5 yards per game during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: If there was a reminder needed of how valuable Smith-Njigba is to what the Seahawks want to do offensively, it came against the Rams in the Conference Championship. He had 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in the victory. That kind of role doesn't happen by accident. It's also likely to persist. His monstrous workload is why Smith-Njigba finished the 2025 regular season as the WR2 overall, behind only Puka Nacua. Expect to pay a premium for JSN this summer. |

Jaguars | Tag unlikely for Travis Etienne Mon Jan 26, 03:56 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent RB Travis Etienne is unlikely to be a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco.
| Footballguys view: Etienne is coming off his third 1,000-yard rushing season and posted 13 total touchdowns. He turned out to be a good fit in coach Liam Coen's offense, improved as a pass blocker, and was the team's most consistent offensive player. Still, the estimated franchise tag for a running back in 2026 (per OverTheCap.com) would be $14.153 million, which would make Etienne the fourth-highest-paid running back in terms of annual salary. The presence of 2025 draft picks Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. will be part of the equation for Jacksonville. We'll be watching for more. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold dealing with soreness Mon Jan 26, 02:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) is dealing with soreness in his oblique, but it is not believed to be a serious issue, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
| Footballguys view: The 28-year-old Darnold earned his second straight Pro Bowl honor this campaign after recording 25 passing touchdowns and 14 interceptions in the regular season. He's gone 37-for-53 with 470 passing yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions across Seattle's two playoff games -- while playing through the oblique issue. He's all but certain to do the same against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8. |

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins hopes to return Mon Jan 26, 01:54 PM
Denver Broncos impending free-agent RB J.K. Dobbins said he hopes to re-sign with the Broncos this offseason. He said he would have been ready to play if the Broncos advanced to Super Bowl LX.
| Footballguys view: The 27-year-old is coming off a 772-yard rushing performance across 10 games, with four touchdowns. While Dobbins didn't reach 1,000 yards or finish the year, his 77.2 yards per game was the best of his career by a wide margin. As The Sporting News noted, Dobbins has dealt with injuries his entire career, but as seen this past season, when behind a great offensive line, he can be a star running back. Re-signing Dobbins won't cost much and would be a high-quality move for the Broncos and George Paton this offseason. |

Bills | Philip Rivers withdraws from Bills search Mon Jan 26, 11:37 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers withdrew from the Buffalo Bills' head coaching search.
| Footballguys view: After five years away, Rivers made his return to the NFL this season with the Colts. He started three games down the stretch. Considering his age and long layoff, Rivers performed admirably, tossing four touchdowns and three interceptions in three games, all losses. It also put him in the head coaching discussion. Reports suggest that Rivers, 44, may have pulled out of the role for family reasons. He may consider a future in coaching in the NFL down the road, but now is not the right time, per the NFL Network. |

Eagles | Jerrod Johnson to talk to Eagles Mon Jan 26, 11:11 AM
Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson will interview with the Philadelphia Eagles for their offensive coordinator post.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, Johnson also spoke to the team in 2024, but they wound up hiring Kellen Moore at that time. Moore spent a year in the job and parlayed a Super Bowl win into the Saints' head coaching job. Kevin Patullo called the offensive plays in 2025, but was relieved of those duties after the team's playoff loss to the 49ers. Johnson has been the quarterbacks coach in Houston since 2023. He has never held a coordinator position. |

Broncos | Denver a possible destination for Alec Pierce? Mon Jan 26, 12:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce will be a free agent this offseason, and ESPN's Aaron Schatz believes the Denver Broncos will be the ones to sign him, citing Pierce's size, physicality, and ability to make plays down the field making him an ideal fit for QB Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton.
| Footballguys view: Pierce, who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, narrowly topped 1,000 yards for the first time as a pro with a 132-yard effort against the Texans in Week 18. He's averaged 22.3 yards per reception in 2024 and 21.3 yards per catch in 2025, leading the league both times. Pierce is a walking explosive-play threat, which makes him a very valuable player. His destination when free agency opens in March will be of great interest to fantasy managers. |
Rams | Matthew Stafford expected to return next season Mon Jan 26, 12:26 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford plans to return for his 18th NFL season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who reports that Stafford has told people close to him that he believes he has 'good football left.'
| Footballguys view: Immediately after the Rams' 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, Stafford wouldn't discuss next season. "I can't generalize six months of my life 10 minutes after a loss," he said. But a return makes sense. Stafford, a finalist for this year's NFL MVP award, is coming off the best season of his career, finishing the regular season as the odds-on favorite to be named MVP after leading the league in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46). We'll watch for more on this, but it could take some time for an official answer. |
