Multiple sources tell ESPN that Chris Godwin underwent a second procedure on his ankle this spring, shedding further light on his rehab from a dislocated ankle last season.

Laine reports the second procedure wasn't a surprise and was a clean-up procedure. It remains to be seen how much the second surgery - if at all - sets Godwin back. He wasn't expected to be a full-go in camp until closer to the season. There will likely be many updates on Godwin was we progress through camp. If he remains on PUP to start the season, he'll of course miss the first four games, which will open the door for either Egbuka or McMillan to carve out a role going forward.

The Browns placed quarterback Deshaun Watson on the active/physically unable to perform list, among several moves they announced Tuesday.

Watson underwent a second surgery on his torn Achilles on Jan. 10 and is not expected to be ready to practice for a few months. The Browns are expected to place him on reserve/PUP before the season, forcing him to miss at least the first four games.

The Browns are expected to place him on reserve/PUP before the season, forcing him to miss at least the first four games, the story said. It's been reported Watson will likely miss most or all of 2025. Gabriel and Sanders are two rookies who will battle with Flacco and Pickett for the starting job.

Running back Bijan Robinson enters his third season coming off a career-high workload. Robinson went from 272 touches (214 carries, 58 catches) as a rookie to 365 touches (304 carries, 61 catches) last season, and it sounds like that trend will continue.

“As many times as we can get the ball in his hands, we’re going to do it,” Penix said.

It seems like a great idea and fantasy owners are hoping for the same, but the author thinks the Falcons should be cognizant of Robinson’s workload. The story pointed out the following: there have been 15 occasions of a running back getting more than 300 carries in a season in the last five years. Six of those came last season. Of the other nine, only once did the back have more rushing yards the next season. That was Derrick Henry in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. In the other eight seasons, the backs had an average drop off of 695 rushing yards the next season. Those are eye-opening numbers, but good news is the Falcons don't have to force the ball to Robinson with Allgeier part of the offense. Last season Allegier carried another 137 times for 644 yards, which is a 4.7 YPC.
