Steelers plan to move WR DK Metcalf around field

Wide receiver George Pickens’ signature on the franchise tag on April 29 all but guaranteed he would attend the team’s mandatory minicamp and report to training camp.

Indeed, Pickens was at the minicamp on June 16-18, and on Monday, he was with the team as players reported to training camp in Oxnard, California.

As the story went on to say, Pickens will play the 2026 season on the one-year, fully guaranteed $27.3 million franchise tag. He will be the only player in the NFL to play on the franchise tag. Pickens caught 93 balls for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns and is looking to cash in on a huge contract.

The Packers have placed Kraft (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Kraft stated earlier this month he expects to be ready for Week 1, and that's certainly still possible. The Packers are still hoping to get back Kraft on the practice field during the earlier stages of camp, so stay tuned for updates. Kraft is ranked fourth among our TEs this season, and proved to be a great middle round value a year ago. He'll likely go off the board sooner than that this season, however, and his current ADP is the fifth round.

The Colts placed linebacker CJ Allen and wide receiver Alec Pierce on the active/physically unable to perform list.

Players on the list can return as soon as they pass a physical before the Aug. 30 roster cut-down. As the story went on to say, Pierce continues rehab after left ankle surgery in March. The surgery was needed to fix a problem he’s had since 2024 after a platelet-rich plasma treatment in January didn’t work as hoped. Pierce was expected to need 4-6 months post-surgery, which will keep him sidelined into training camp. Pierce, who re-signed with the Colts on a four-year, $114 million deal, set career highs with 47 receptions and 1,003 yards last season. He also had six touchdowns.
