PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick Daylen Everette has received rave reviews at OTAs. Defensive pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach Jason Simmons praised the cornerback out of Georgia during his media availability on Wednesday.

“When I think about him, I think about humility,” Simmons said. “You know, he’s played in a lot of big games coming from Georgia.

He’s a bright guy, and the next thing is his poise as...

Chase Claypool was present at Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp at the beginning of May, which did not lead to a contract for the former second-round pick.

ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler peeled back the curtain on where Will Howard stands on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback depth chart. Fowler believes Howard has the inside track to the No. 2 role.

“The more fascinating subplot here is what they do with the other quarterbacks,” Fowler said on ESPN’s NFL Live. “Who’s gonna be the 2? That’s what they’re working on right now. Will Howard probably has the inside track at that right now. They’ve been impressed with him.”

Veteran Mason Rudolph was the No. 2 QB last year. There’s been speculation that he could be dealt before the...

The Pittsburgh Steelers know who their starting quarterback will be Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. That’s QB Aaron Rodgers. The bigger question is this: Who will be Rodgers’ backup this season?

The New York Giants fear that wide receiver Gunner Olszewski, who was carted off the practice field on Friday, tore his Achilles, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Olszewski will undergo additional testing to confirm the injury.

According to multiple reporters in attendance at the practice, Olszewski went down with a non-contact injury during a drill. If confirmed, Olszewski will be the third Giants player to go down with a torn Achilles this offseason — joining defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris and cornerback Thaddeus Dixon.

The Giants re-signed former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Olszewski to a one-year contract in March.
