[DEN - Jerry Jeudy shines at practice]() Source: KDVR.com - Taylor Brooks Denver Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is the 'main guy sticking out' among the receivers during minicamp, according to Taylor Brooks of KDVR.com. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jeudy looks like the star the Broncos thought he would be when they selected him in the first round of the draft last year. He's got a great connection with QB Teddy Bridgewater and the timing/chemistry is strong between those two. Jeudy does not have as strong a connection with QB Drew Lock, so we'll have to see who wins the starting job in Denver before getting too excited about Jeudy. Oh yeah, he'd look great catching passes from Aaron Rodgers... [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [KC - QB Patrick Mahomes says he's a full go](=) Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Myles Simmons Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (toe) is feeling extra confident about the condition of his foot after participating at close to a full level during the team's offseason program so far. 'I don't see any problems moving forward,' Mahomes said during a new conference Thursday, June 17. 'Obviously, I'll have to continue with the rehab, continue to work on those things -- strengthen it, do all that different type of stuff. But I feel like I had a good OTAs, a good minicamp. I was able to move around, scramble around and do the things that I needed to do.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mahomes was banged up last year in the playoffs and didn't quite look like himself. He's been ahead in his recovery and should be full strength at the start of training camp. Mahomes is pretty much there at this point, so expect zero limitations when camp begins later this summer. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [CHI - Justin Fields is No. 2 QB]() Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Michael David Smith Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields is likely to open the season as the team's No. 2 quarterback, meaning he would step in if starting QB Andy Dalton is injured, head coach Matt Nagy said. Veteran QB NIck Foles is slated to be the No. 3 QB. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fields is the no.2 quarterback for now. Let's see how he progresses through training camp but the 2021 first-round pick is the QB of the future. It's up to him how soon that future is here. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CAR - Terrace Marshall signs rookie deal]( Source: Panthers.com - Darin Gantt Carolina Panthers second-round pick WR Terrace Marshall signed his rookie, four-year contract Thursday, June 17. Financial terms weren't disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Marshall has a nice size/speed combination. He's got a large wingspan and can take the top off the defense. Marshall is working to earn a spot on the depth chart behind Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [KC - KC adding WR Darrius Shepherd]() Source: The Athletic - Nate Taylor Free agent WR Darrius Shepherd (Packers) is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, June 17, per sources. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Shepherd, a Kansas City native, was a star in college at North Dakota State and went undrafted to the Packers in 2019. He spent two seasons in Green Bay, working mostly as a special teams player and return man. That should be his role with the Chiefs if he makes the 53-man roster.

[DEN - WR Amara Darboh joining Broncos](=) Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis Free-agent WR Amara Darboh (Panthers) agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos Thursday, June 17, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Darboh was a third-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft coming out of Michigan. He was drafted by the Seahawks and made it one year there. Since then, Darboh has bounced around the NFL. He's got a nice size/speed combination but the Broncos are stacked at the wide receiver position and it will be tough for Darboh to make the 53-man roster. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [BAL - Rashod Bateman under the weather](=) Source: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (illness) missed practice with an illness Wednesday, June 16, according to head coach John Harbaugh. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see if Bateman can start feeling better and get back out there. Bateman is a fine route runner and can become a trusted target for QB Lamar Jackson. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [NYJ - TE Chris Herndon limited by hamstring]( Source: SNY - Ralph Vacchiano New York Jets TE Chris Herndon (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, June 16, by hamstring 'tightness,' but head coach Robert Saleh added that he expects Herndon to be 'perfectly fine' going forward. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Herndon has physical gifts but he's been banged up off and on during his pro career. This hamstring injury seems minor, and Herndon should be good to go for the start of training camp. The upside and potential is always there with Herndon but he hasn't played up to that in the NFL. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [DEN - De'Mornay Pierson-El headed to Denver]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Free agent WR De'Mornay Pierson-El (Raiders) on Thursday, June 17, will sign with the Denver Broncos. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pierson-El has bounced around the league since coming into the league as a UDFA out of Nebraska in 2018. He's played in the CFL, AAF and XFL in addition to having a few opportunities to impress in the NFL. Pierson-El is a long shot to make the Broncos jam-packed wide receiver room.
