Packers defensive end Lukas Van Ness, the team’s first rounder in 2023, broke the tip of his thumb and isn’t working out with the team during OTAs. Reporters who cover the Packers noticed Wednesday that Van Ness was working out with a group of injured players. After practice, Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur provided more information after the workouts. “He broke his thumb a little bit. Just the tip,” LaFleur told reporters. However, LaFleur didn’t give a timetable for his return. The injury doesn’t sound serious, but the Packers are converting from a 3-4 base defense to the 4-3. So OTAs and train...

The Miami Dolphins are entering Year 5 of Tua Tagovailoa‘s tenure as the team’s starting quarterback and according to head coach Mike McDaniel, the former Crimson Tide star is continuing to grow. It’s good news for the Dolphins who are on the brink of what feels like a breakthrough after their first-round playoff exit last season. “It’s been very exciting because at this point, we’re like, ‘Alright, let’s really push ourselves to challenge this guy,'” McDaniel said of Tagovailoa’s growth, “because all he ends up doing is rising to the challenge with what we’ve been asking him to do.” “Just tha...

Xavier Legette, who has started his second week of OTAs with the Panthers, suffered an injury that hits a lot of first-year players. It’s why Carolina coach Dave Canales asked the receiver to sit out Wednesday’s practice. Legette, officially, tweaked a hamstring. Canales explained that there was a mental component wth what happened to the Panthers first-rounder who was held out as a precaution. “With rookies, when they come out here, it’s a different level of work,” Canales told reporters after Wednesday’s practice. “It’s not that they’ve never practiced this long. But everyone’s fast, everyon...

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett took time away from football last season, and it was good for him. While speaking to reporters during OTAs on Tuesday, Bennett was asked what the reset did for him before returning to the Rams. “Love football, excited to come out here every single day,” Bennett said. “You get to see the world for the first time without football, like the first time ever. What that might be like, you just don’t have it. You come out here and you’re hungry every single day. …It was different without it.” Bennett, 26, was selected by the Rams in the fourth round of the...

The Los Angeles Chargers signed former Alabama star offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood, according to a release from the team. A former first round pick in 2021 (No. 17 overall), Leatherwood bounced around with the Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns over the last three season. Now, he’ll have a new home in LA. Playing under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, who’s a big fan of the trenches himself, could boost Leatherwood’s career. Leatherwood started 17 of 21 career games played with the Raiders and Bears. He was a member of the Browns’ practice squad in 2023. During his time with ...

Joey Porter Jr doesn’t have a problem with confidence, especially in his abilities. Just ask the second-year Steelers DB. Who is the best cornerback in the NFL? “Me for sure,” Porter told The Athletic following an OTA practice last week. See, you might think it’s merely cockiness, that Porter is a brash, preening DB who purposefully forgets about the bad plays only to remember the good. That’s how a corner or a safety gets through a game. But also, if you can back up the talk, it’s not cocky. There’s a point to be made that Porter, the Steelers second-round draft pick from 2023, is one of the ...

The Los Angeles Chargers traded up three spots last month to draft former Georgia Bulldogs star Ladd McConkey and he’s glad that they did. McConkey went with the second pick in the second round at No. 34 overall and the Chargers gave up a fourth-round selection in exchange for a fifth-round pick to do it. Asked how he felt about the team trading up for him, the wide receiver said it motivated him that much more. “I think you always want to go where you’re wanted,” McConkey said. “When you hear that, you want to be there that much more. Now I’m excited to get through this, get to training camp,...

With dazzling quarterback Lamar Jackson leading the way, the Ravens were one of the best teams in the NFL last season. They fell just short of the Super Bowl.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett is back at practice and, while it’s still football and he’s happy to be back, he also admitted it came with some nerves. This return to football comes after Bennett took a year off from the sport. During September of last season, Bennett went on the reserve/non-football illness list and took some time away from football. “Nervous the first day,” Stetson Bennett said. “You know, hadn’t played football in a while and I hadn’t talked to dudes in a huddle, which is a huge thing when you’re relaying the play to them. A lot of nerves, but it’s gone — I wo...

Stetson Bennett spent most of his rookie season away from the Los Angeles Rams. And this week, he met with the media for the first time since he took that leave of absence. But the quarterback still didn’t provide details as to what he did in the months away from football. He said he wanted to keep the reason he went away “in house.” But Bennett did reveal his absence related to his mental health. Bennett said he went back home to Georgia after the Rams placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list last September, two weeks into the regular season. He eventually rejoined the team for off ...
