Quinshon Judkins: Arrested in Florida on Saturday
Saturday, July 12, 2025 9:27 PM
Judkins was arrested on strike/battery/domestic violence charges in Florida on Saturday morning, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Judkins was selected No. 36 overall by Cleveland in April's NFL Draft. He's the only member of the Browns' 2025 Draft class who has not yet signed. Cleveland rookies are slated to report next Friday, July 18, though it's unclear if Judkins will be present given his contract and legal situations.

Wan'Dale Robinson: Wants more downfield opportunities
Saturday, July 12, 2025 4:13 PM
Robinson has indicated during the offseason that he wants more looks downfield during the upcoming campaign after playing mostly in the slot last season, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Robinson got plenty of volume last year with 93 catches on 140 targets, but he averaged just 7.5 yards per catch, the lowest mark among NFL wide receivers. The Kentucky product has expressed his desire to line up outside more often, but the likelihood of that happening is complicated by the presence of Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton as deep threats in the Giants' offense. Duggan notes that Robinson was mostly used in a short-yardage capacity during minicamp this spring even with Nabers not participating, so his wishes may not lead to any changes. That said, it's at least worth noting that New York will be more equipped to throw the ball downfield than in previous campaigns with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart now making up the team's QB room.

Tre Harris: Unsigned as training camp kicks off
Saturday, July 12, 2025 2:28 PM
Harris has not yet signed his contract with the Chargers as rookies report to training camp Saturday, Chris Roling of SI.com reports.
Harris is one of roughly 30 rookie second-round picks who has not yet signed a contract with the team that selected him in April's draft due to ongoing disputes over guaranteed money. Only Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger, selected 33rd overall, and Texans wideout Jayden Higgins, selected 34th overall, have currently signed their rookie deals, and both received fully guaranteed contracts. Harris participated in spring workouts for Los Angeles despite not having inked his deal and reportedly impressed across OTAs and minicamp, but he won't be eligible to report to training camp unless signed. The nature of Harris' contract dispute being a league-wide issue makes it difficult to estimate when a resolution will occur, but as more rookies around the league begin reporting for training camp, pressure for a solution figures to quickly mount.

Calvin Ridley: Expectations rise for 2025
Friday, July 11, 2025 10:20 PM
Ridley is reenergized for his second year with the Titans after the team selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley had a successful opening season with the Titans, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his career. That achievement was made more impressive by the fact that he suffered from inconsistent quarterback play from Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, something that the team hopes to have remedied with the selection of Ward. Wyatt noted that Ridley has taken to mentoring the rookie quarterback, developing rapport with him that could translate to more production come the regular season.

Mark Andrews: Heads into contract year
Friday, July 11, 2025 6:20 PM
As training camp approaches, Andrews is slated to reprise his key role in a tight-end corps that also includes Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Jamison Hensley of ESPN noted ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft that there was some speculation the Ravens might consider dealing Andrews, who is entering the final year of a four-year, $56 million contract. However, the team will return its top three tight ends after all, led by Andrews -- who logged a 55/673/11 receiving line (on 69 targets) in 17 regular-season games in 2024 -- and Likely, who recorded a 42/477/6 mark in 16 contests. Considering the continued presence of Likely and the addition of veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins, Andrews isn't likely to reach the level of volume (113 targets) he enjoyed as recently as 2022, but the 29-year-old maintains fantasy utility nonetheless, even if he's no longer viewed as a top-tier option at his position.

Najee Harris: Sustains superficial eye injury
Thursday, July 10, 2025 7:07 PM
A statement from Harris' agent Doug Hendrickson on Thursday noted that the running back sustained a superficial eye injury stemming from what was described as a "fireworks mishap" during a Fourth of July event, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per the statement, Harris, who signed with the Chargers in March, "is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season." It remains to be seen if the issue will affect Harris' participation in the team's upcoming training camp practices, but when available, the 2021 first-rounder is slated to handle a key role in a Los Angeles backfield that also includes Omarion Hampton, the No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Demarcus Robinson: Pleads no contest to DUI charge
Thursday, July 10, 2025 5:44 PM
Robinson, who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge stemming from his arrest last November, has been sentenced to three years' probation, the Orange County Register reports.
Robinson, who signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract in free agency with the 49ers in March, is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 31/505/7 receiving line in 17 games with the Rams. When available, the 30-year-old is on track to provide veteran depth to a San Francisco wideout corps that could be without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) early on this season. Per Aidin Vaziri of the San Francisco Chronicle, the NFL has not announced whether Robinson will face discipline under its personal conduct policy.

Dustin Hopkins: Looking to rebound in 2025
Thursday, July 10, 2025 10:40 AM
Hopkins is going to get every opportunity to show he's moved on from a frustrating 2024 season, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hopkins was acquired from the Chargers ahead of the 2023 campaign and had a career year that season, drilling 33 of 36 field-goal attempts (91.7 percent) and 24 of 26 extra-point tries. Cleveland inked him to a three-year, $15.3 million extension through 2027, but the veteran kicker then posted the worst season of his career in 2024, making just 18 of 27 field goals (66.7 percent) and 17 of 20 extra points. The Browns have brought in Andre Szmyt to provide competition, but it sounds like Cleveland wants Hopkins to win this job. For fantasy purposes, the Browns don't project to be a high-scoring offense in 2025. That coupled with Hopkins' 2024 struggles don't make him a desirable target.

Kalel Mullings: Pushing for roster spot as rookie
Wednesday, July 9, 2025 9:39 PM
Mullings will compete with Julius Chestnut for a roster spot during training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Mullings missed time with an injury to his abdomen immediately after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he participated in minicamp and will be a full go for training camp. He is regarded as a good downhill runner, but his primary role, if he makes the team, will come on special teams to begin his rookie campaign.

Julius Chestnut: Facing competition
Wednesday, July 9, 2025 9:22 PM
Chestnut is likely to battle with Kalel Mullings for a roster spot during training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Chestnut has been with the Titans for three seasons, though he had his most extensive involvement in 2024. That came primarily via special teams, which could help him in his competition with Mullings this summer. Wyatt projects that the Titans will carry three backs on the roster with one more on the practice squad, so Chestnut could stick around even if he isn't on the active roster.
