Kyle Philips TEN WR
Titans' Kyle Philips: Not assured roster spot
11h ago
Philips is expected to enter training camp fighting for a roster spot, John Glennon of the Nashville Post reports.
Philips, a 2022 fifth-round pick, secured 15 of 22 targets for 181 yards across nine appearances last season, and he never managed to play more than 50 percent of offensive snaps. With Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd joining DeAndre Hopkins atop the depth chart, and 2022 first-round pick Treylon Burks still vying for opportunities, Phillips finds himself competing for limited reserve roles, and rookie sixth-round pick Jha'Quan Jackson also projects as a slot option and return man.

Jamal Adams TEN SS
Titans' Jamal Adams: Lands in Tennessee
18h ago
Adams (knee) agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract with the Titans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Adams, now presumably healthy after dealing with late-season knee injuries down the stretch in 2023, links up with Tennessee shortly ahead of the start of training camp. He tallied 48 tackles (34 solo) and two pass breakups across nine appearances with Seattle last season, and across four years with the team he suited up for just 34 contests. Injury woes could follow Adams to his new team, but when healthy his proclivity for high tackle numbers should make him a relevant fantasy asset in IDP formats, even if he's not the same player he was when he earned All-Pro honors in the third year of his career.

Matt Judon NE OLB
Patriots' Matthew Judon: Not close to new deal
1d ago
Judon and the Patriots are far apart in contract negotiations, Henry McKenna of FoxSports.com reports.
McKenna notes that Judon has asked for a new contract and the Patriots have presented an offer, but the sides "are not currently close to agreeing to a new deal." Judon is approaching the final year of his contract, which will pay him a modest $6.5 million in 2024. New England may be hesitant to offer the linebacker a hefty deal given that he played in just four games last season due to a torn biceps, though he has more than proven his ability as a pass rusher with 28 combined sacks between 2021 and 2022. Per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe, Judon doesn't plan to hold out of camp if the sides don't agree to a new deal.

Green said Tuesday that he's made a full recovery from the surgery he underwent last October to repair the meniscus in his right knee, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
With training camp approaching, a healthy Green is expected to compete for the starting gig at left guard with 2022 first-round pick Kenyon Green, who spent the entire 2023 campaign on injured reserve.

Zach Evans LAR RB
Rams' Zach Evans: On roster bubble
3d ago
Evans faces a difficult path to earning a spot on the final roster and is a candidate to be cut before the start of the 2024 regular season, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Evans, a 2023 sixth-round pick, logged only nine rush attempts for 19 yards across 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie, despite the Rams suffering a number of injuries to their backfield. A healthy Kyren Williams remains entrenched atop the depth chart and projects for a workhorse role, while rookie third-rounder Blake Corum projects as his top backup. Boston Scott and Ronnie Rivers are relatively established as capable depth options, so unless he can truly impress in training camp, Evans may find himself the odd man out.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Pressure to impress in camp
3d ago
Toney could land on the trade block before the start of the 2024 regular season unless he's able to log an impressive training camp, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Toney missed training camp and the preseason last year due to injuries, then struggled with consistency and health before ending up as a healthy scratch for Kansas City's final stretch of games, including the team's Super Bowl win over the 49ers. Now, with the additions of Marquise Brown and rookie first-rounder Xavier Worthy, Toney could be staring down a make-or-break training camp. The same is true for 2022 second-round pick Skyy Moore, plus Mecole Hardman, Justyn Ross and Nikko Remigio, all of whom are competing for limited depth spots behind Brown, Worthy, Rashee Rice and Justin Watson.
