John Harbaugh 'very hopeful' Malik Nabers will be back soon as knee rehab picks up

Alec Pierce Says Ankle Surgery Was Unavoidable as Recovery Stretches Toward Training Camp
The Colts' deep threat had left ankle surgery in March after a failed PRP treatment, and a four-to-six-month recovery window could keep him out past the preseason.
Lamar Jackson Calls New Ravens Offense Under Declan Doyle "Mind-Blowing"
As Baltimore wrapped minicamp on Wednesday, the two-time MVP backed the NFL's youngest playcaller and predicted a return to big plays after a down 2025 season.
Five law firms accused of defrauding the NFL concussion fund of $87 million with faked Parkinson's diagnoses
Court-appointed special masters say firms representing 98 players worked with doctors to mask symptoms with medication before evaluations. The 51-page filing calls for denied claims and a redesigned diagnosis process.
The best free agents still on the board in June, and why they're still there
The wave of June trades reshaped rosters, but a useful group of veterans remains unsigned. Most of what's left fits one of three buckets: aging stars, injury reclamations, or scheme-specific fits waiting on the right call.
The Browns think they can unlock another level in Jared Verse by simplifying his job
Verse already ranks third in the NFL in pressures since 2024, behind only Parsons and Garrett. Cleveland's plan: move him from a two-point stance to a hand in the dirt and let him stop thinking.
Following the guaranteed money: how this offseason reset the market at receiver, edge, and safety
Guaranteed money, not average per year, is the number that actually matters in NFL contracts. This spring's deals moved the bar at several positions, and we covered most of them as they landed.
Joel Bitonio retires a Brown: 7 Pro Bowls, 178 starts, and zero seasons anywhere else
The longtime guard played 12 seasons entirely in Cleveland, making the most starts of any Brown since the 1999 return. His exit completes the offensive-line teardown we wrote about this spring.
Panthers coach Dave Canales had a basal cell carcinoma removed from his nose, and used it to send a message about sunscreen
Canales addressed the minor skin cancer at minicamp, saying it was caught early and removed. He turned the disclosure into a public-health nudge for a sport played in the sun.
Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson arrested on a domestic violence charge
Jackson, who signed a three-year extension last offseason, was booked in Los Angeles County. It's the third domestic-violence-related arrest of a notable player in a matter of weeks.
Calais Campbell is back for a 19th season, and he says it's probably his last
The 39-year-old defensive lineman returned to Baltimore for one more run. A six-time Pro Bowler and a Walter Payton Man of the Year, he's chasing the ring that has eluded one of the most respected careers in the sport.
The Chiefs paid $43 million for Kenneth Walker to fix the one thing they've never had under Mahomes: a feature back
Kansas City hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2017. The Super Bowl LX MVP signed in March to change that, and he picked the Chiefs for a simple reason: 'He's the best quarterback in the league.'
Jonathon Cooper pleaded not guilty. His trial is set for late July, right as camp opens.
The Broncos edge rusher entered a not-guilty plea to the domestic-violence-enhanced charge from his June arrest. The trial date lands at the start of training camp, leaving his status unresolved into the season.
L'Jarius Sneed is back in Kansas City, two Super Bowls and one rough Tennessee stint later
The Chiefs traded Sneed away in 2024. They're bringing him back on a one-year, up-to-$5 million deal to help rebuild a secondary they tore down this offseason. The question is his health.
Abdul Carter limped off Giants minicamp with an ankle injury, an early scare for the No. 2 pick
Carter, the centerpiece of the Giants' defensive rebuild, left practice and did not return. Early indications point to something minor, but any injury to a cornerstone rookie draws a held breath.
Jacoby Brissett will report to Cardinals minicamp, ending a quiet standoff
Brissett skipped OTAs amid a contract impasse. He's now set to report to mandatory minicamp, where skipping carries fines. The veteran is in Arizona to mentor and compete behind a rebuilt quarterback room.
How June 1 became the NFL's wildest trade day in years: Garrett, Brown, and the cap quirk behind it
Two franchise-altering trades landed within a day of each other, and they weren't a coincidence. The June 1 dead-money rule turned an ordinary offseason date into a blockbuster window.
Tony Pollard and Derrick Henry are the only backs with four straight 1,000-yard seasons. Robert Saleh wants a fifth.
Pollard ran for a career-best 1,082 yards in 2025. His new head coach saw it up close as an opposing coordinator and came away a believer. The Titans' run game is the steady piece around Cam Ward's development.
The Broncos chased Jaylen Waddle for months. Now they have their separation weapon.
Denver traded for the Dolphins receiver after losing the AFC Championship Game to New England. At OTAs, the early reviews center on the one thing the Broncos' offense lacked: a receiver who makes every route look the same.
Baker Mayfield says extension talks with the Bucs are 'not anywhere close'
Mayfield resurrected his career in Tampa Bay and is now two years from free agency. The two sides aren't near a deal, and the receiver market exploding around him only raises his number.
The Bears' board voted to advance a Hammond, Indiana stadium. Illinois is now playing catch-up.
For the first time, Chicago's board voted on a specific site, and it wasn't in Illinois. Indiana's $1 billion in incentives and a passed stadium-authority law have pushed the move from threat to front-runner.
Broncos edge Jonathon Cooper arrested on a domestic-violence-enhanced charge
Cooper was booked in Douglas County early Friday on a criminal mischief charge with a domestic violence enhancer, then released on personal recognizance. He's coming off an eight-sack season on a record-setting Denver defense.
Worst to first, ranked: the Lions are the clear bet, and it's not close
Eight teams finished last in their division in 2025. Detroit has a 38 percent shot at flipping to first. After that, the odds fall off a cliff.
