Expected to push for touches
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 6:14 PM
Bigsby is expected to have "plenty of opportunity" to win the Jaguars' No. 2 running back job behind Travis Etienne, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Harvey believes Bigsby could even out-touch Etienne some weeks, "depending on who has the hot hand." The Jaguars rode Etienne pretty hard after the James Robinson trade last season, as Etienne averaged over 15 carries per game from Week 7 onward and saw 17-plus carries five times over the final 10 games. Jacksonville wants to lighten Etienne's workload, and Bigsby gives the team a capable between-the-tackles runner at 6-foot and 210 pounds. Bigsby should be a popular late-round fantasy pick given his third-round draft pedigree, Etienne's missed 2021 with a foot injury, and the Jaguars' desire to get him involved. |

James Robinson James Robinson Let go by New England
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 3:33 PM
The Patriots waived Robinson on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Robinson signed a two-year contract with New England this offseason, but there was no guaranteed money included in the deal due to the running back's health concerns. If he clears waivers, the Illinois State product will be free to sign with any team that shows interest. The 24-year-old rushed for 1,837 yards and 15 touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons in Jacksonville, but he struggled to stay healthy last year, totaling 425 rushing yards across 11 appearances split between the Jaguars and Jets. |

Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 3:14 PM
Tate was released by the Cardinals on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.comreports.
Analysis: Tate spent most of 2022 on the Eagles' practice squad before receiving a reserve/future deal with Arizona in January. The 26-year-old is best known for his time with the Bengals where he appeared in 35 contests over four seasons, making 61 catches on 118 targets for 799 yards and two touchdowns. He'll now work to find a new opportunity. |

Making an impression
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 2:50 PM
Prince has impressed his coaches and teammates during voluntary practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Price went undrafted out of Tulsa, but he's making the most of his opportunity in Kansas City. Not only has he shown an ability to excel as a pass catcher out of the backfield, but he could also potentially earn a role on special teams, specifically as a kick returner. Special teams coach, Dave Toub, believes Prince has an opportunity to handle that role, depending on how he progresses during training camp and the preseason, despite not returning kicks in college. The 23-year-old still may face an uphill battle making the 53-man roster, but he's at least proving he deserves consideration thus far. |

Greg Dulcich Greg Dulcich Making impression on Sean Payton
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 2:13 PM
Dulcich is healthy for offseason practices and has been making a good impression on new coach Sean Payton, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. "[Dulcich]'s got traits that are exciting," Payton said earlier this month, "and today was one of those days where you begin to have a vision."
Analysis: Hamstring injuries cost Dulcich the first five games of his rookie season as well as the final two. In between, the 2022 third-round pick emerged as Denver's top pass catcher at tight end, averaging 4.9 targets in QB Russell Wilson's nine starts. Dulcich caught only 60 percent of his targets -- a rather low rate for a TE -- but his 33 receptions included six gains of 20-plus yards and three of 30-plus. While a favorite to lead the team's tight ends in targets again, Dulcich isn't known for blocking and may thus cede a lot of the early down snaps to Adam Trautman, Albert Okwuegbunam and/or Chris Manhertz. |

Looking healthy this spring
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 1:54 PM
Gilmore has been a regular participant in spring practices, Layten Praytor of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys traded for Gilmore in March after his rebound season with the Colts last year. If he can do it again in his age-32/33 season ahead, Dallas will have one of the best CB duos in the league between Gilmore and Trevon Diggs. There doesn't seem to have been any lingering issue with the wrist injury that prevented Gilmore from playing Week 18 last year. |

Travis Homer Travis Homer Could have role in offense
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 1:43 PM
Homer figures to be a key special teamer for the Bears and could also earn a role on passing downs, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: He struggled to stay healthy in Seattle and didn't get many opportunities as a runner, but Homer nonetheless managed to develop a reputation for pass-blocking while also handling a lot of special teams snaps whenever healthy. The 2019 sixth-round pick signed a two-year, $4 million deal with $1.75 million guaranteed this March, making him part of a Chicago backfield that also includes Khalil Herbert, D'Onta Foreman and rookie fourth-rounder Roschon Johnson. |

Looking good at OTAs
Mon, Jun 12, 2023, 1:34 PM
White has looked healthy in practices this spring, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo.
Analysis: White unsurprisingly had a down year in 2022 after his late-2021 ACL tear, and the season ended on a low note with a concussion forcing him out of Buffalo's playoff loss to Cincinnati. The 28-year-old is apparently healthy now and remains the No. 1 cornerback for one of the more talented defenses in the NFL. |
