Brian Burns will practice today. Jalin Hyatt will increase his workload. Wan’Dale Robinson won’t practice, but nothing serious per Brian Daboll. Took a knee to the thigh yesterday.

This doesn't seem to be the first time Robinson has had an injury issue during camp, so we'll see how the depth chart shakes out around him. That, combined with a torn Achilles for Bryce Ford-Wheaton could see the team add some depth (beat writers speculating Gabe Davis, who visited in May), but it could also mean someone like Theo Johnson gets extra work in the short game.

Brian Daboll said WR Malik Nabers is “ready to go” and expected to practice fully.

This is great news for Nabers, who has rightfully been pushed all the way into the first round of fantasy drafts. There's a not-unreasonable chance that he leads the league in target share with an incredibly thin depth chart behind him.

The Lions drafted quarterback Hendon Hooker in the third round in 2023, but through two NFL seasons Hooker has played only in garbage time, and late last season the Lions brought in veteran Teddy Bridgewater and put him ahead of Hooker on the depth chart to back up Jared Goff.

As the Lions open training camp this year, Bridgewater is no longer on the team and Hooker is competing with Kyle Allen to be the Lions’ No. 2 quarterback. Lions head coach Dan Campbell says it’s time for Hooker to take the next step in his career.

The story indicated the team could bring back Bridgewater, but that seems like it will only happen if Hooker doesn't take control of the QB2 job. There have been indications recently on X that Hooker has looked good, so if Goff owners are thinking about a handcuff, keep an eye on how Hooker progresses in camp.

Titans QB Will Levis will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder, sources say, ending his 2025 season. Surgery is July 29.

Levis has elected to have the procedure to ensure long-term health, based on medical opinions, one that should help him be ready for the 2026 season, Rapoport added to his post. Levis wasn't going to be the team's starter anyway, as Ward is set to take over the duties in just a few weeks. Based on our depth charts, the team will have to decide between Allen and Boyle as the backup to Ward. It's possible the Titans bring in another option as well, at least for training camp. Unless he's moved to another team, at this point it's hard to see Levis as anything but a backup even when he returns in 2026.

"One of the things about Tyjae Spears is I heard a lot about Tyjae when I got here, about the type of person and the player that he was," said Brian Callahan this offseason. "And we've had conversations, but he did have a challenging year, both personally and professionally and there was some things that we've had to sit and visit about on different occasions. I give a lot of credit to him because he's had an unbelievable offseason in terms of his energy, his effort, his clarity and what he wants to get done. So I've been really pleased with where Tyjae is at."

The hope for Spears' owners is he'll be a bigger part of the offense this season. While the story goes on to say Pollard had his best year statistically, and is viewed as the starter, the Titans run game overall was not that impressive. Pollard ranked just 19th when it came to gaining 10 yards or more, according to the story. An impressive offseason by Spears is at least a good sign, but right now he's probably not more than a depth piece or a handcuff for most redraft leagues.

The Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as Jeff McLane stated. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft. He was in the loop. Decided to remain with the team and selflessly restructured to try running it back.

As Garafolo touches on, it seemed like a draft-day trade was very much on the table, but once the smoke cleared, it seemed obvious that the vet would remain on the team for at least one more year. Philadelphia currently has seven tight ends on the roster, so expect to see a lot of those names drop off throughout the summer. Goedert should once again be considered a touchdown-dependent low-end TE1 on a great offense.

Former Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett is signing with the Titans on a 1-year, $4M deal with a chance to get to $6M.

Solid signing to add some more stability to the WR room ahead of the (presumptive) selection of QB Cam Ward at No. 1. This doesn't at all preclude the team from grabbing some more pieces through the Draft, and Lockett is more of a role player than one who the offense runs through at this point of his career, so he should be considered a deep WR5 flier in fantasy land.

Dallas Goedert entering the last year of his deal with the Eagles. This has felt like it could go either way. Not a player they’re looking to dump but a possible tough decision on financials and what a trade might net. One of the players to watch as we get closer to the draft.

The Eagles went out to grab Bryant and Granson to add to what is now a pretty crowded tight end room, presumably in preparation for a possible Goedert trade. Though Goedert's fantasy value could possibly take a hit, it's worth pointing out that he hasn't caught more than four touchdowns since the 2019 season, and he could very easily go to a team with a higher pass rate than Philadelphia. It could end up being a net-neutral spot for the 30-year-old vet.

Giants are signing former Broncos WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey to a one-year deal, per source.

Related Players: Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson

Humphrey had the most productive season of his career in Denver, putting together a 31-293-1 year while operating out of the slot around 60% of the time. He's unlikely to be fantasy-relevant himself, but he could be involved in a bit of a rotation with Wan'Dale Robinson.

The Titans ruled running back Tony Pollard out for Week 17 against the Jaguars with an ankle injury and an illness.

Originally listed as questionable, Pollard now will not travel with the team. This sets Tyjae Spears up for a bigger workload Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Jaguars leaky run defense. Spears can be viewed as a RB2 with RB1 upside.
