Reports indicate that the 22-year-old linebacker was not available for the Giants’ second day of mandatory minicamp,” according to Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports. While the severity of the injury remains unclear, it was bad enough for Carter to take the day off from minicamp on Tuesday.

The Minnesota Vikings got their mandatory minicamp underway on Tuesday, with all eyes on the quarterbacks. Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy are just getting their quarterback competition started as they duke it out for who will be the Week 1 starter.

Murray got the first reps of 7-on-7 during day one on Tuesday, but things didn’t go as he would have hoped. He threw interceptions on each of his first two passes. That isn’t exactly the start that you want with your new team, especially when you’re vying for the starting job.

After the rough day one at practice, Murray...

Quarterback Caleb Williams proved to be a strong fit in Ben Johnson’s offense by leading the Chicago Bears on a run to the Divisional Round. In 2026, he is looking to prove his past season wasn’t a fluke while further reaching for his No. 1 pick potential.

Helping him along the way will be Chicago’s wide receiver duo in Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. With all respect to Odunze, tight end Colston Loveland wouldn’t be shocked to see Burden continue climbing up the Bears’ pecking order, via Adam Jahns of CHGO.

“He’s the truth, man. He’s the truth – nothing...

Broncos TE Caleb Lohner revealed why he turned down opportunities to join a team’s active roster to remain in Denver. He also recently underwent a cleanup procedure that will not affect his availability for training camp.

“It was in the works, but I told them don’t even bother,’’ Lohner said, via Broncos Wire. “*[My agent] was the one who started it all (the decision to stay). I want to be here. You’ve got a veteran coach here (in Sean Payton). I was in his offensive system for almost a full year. Plus, I didn’t want to leave a...

Moe Moton of Bleacher Report recently compiled a list of the top-10 running back duos in the NFL, and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tandem of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle came in at No. 7.

“The Pittsburgh Steelers have two proven three-down playmakers in their backfield, and they can both rack up yards in chunks,” Moton wrote.

Dowdle played under Mike McCarthy with the Dallas Cowboys from 2020-24, getting his first shot to prove himself as a legitimate pro ball carrier. He went for 1,079 yards and two touchdowns on 235 carries during their last year together with America’s Team, then...

Daronte Jones was hired to revamp the Commanders defense, to create an aggressive scheme that can set the tone.

Washington’s new defensive coordinator came over from Minnesota, where he worked under respected play caller Brian Flores, who has a reputation for creating exotic blitzes that can disorient the opposition.

There’s an expectation that Jones will develop something similar in Washington, and while that’s in fact the case, Jones said that his system won’t just be a carbon copy of what Flores runs in Minnesota.

While Jones stated that Flores “has been very instrumental in my background,” — you can bet...

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Daylen Everette totaled only 92 reps in the slot over his last two seasons at Georgia.
