It’s the third time the hearing has been delayed. - Kamara was arrested in February for injuring a man outside a Las Vegas nightclub. Impact: The postponed date will make it challenging for the league to suspend Kamara in 2022 — as the NFL typically waits to punish players until the legal system has run its course. Considering that a pre-trial hearing won't occur until late September (at the earliest), a suspension may have to wait until the 2023 season. - Kamara had reportedly been bracing for a six-game suspension. Mathieu Update: In other Saints news, the team does not know when Tyrann Mathieu — who has yet to report to training camp — will [return](. Mathieu is attending to a family matter. Image: Jeff Robinson/Icon Sportswire Cowboys [James Washington] Cowboys WR James Washington to miss significant time with a foot fracture Details: Washington was [carted off]( the field after suffering the injury on Monday. He will undergo surgery today. Foot Fracture: Washington’s fracture (broken fifth metatarsal) typically carries a recovery timeline of 6 to 10 weeks — though it can take longer. WR Depth: With Washington hurt and Michael Gallup (ACL) set to miss the start of the season, third-round rookie Jalen Tolbert will step into the starting lineup opposite CeeDee Lamb. - Tolbert (6-1, 194) caught 82 passes for 1,474 yards and 8 touchdowns at South Alabama last year. Free Agent: The Cowboys are certain to explore signing a free agent receiver. Will Fuller, T.Y. Hilton, Allen Hurns, and Cole Beasley are available. - According to Aaron Wilson (PFN), Fuller is “being [monitored]( by multiple NFL teams.” Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire London [Drake London] Falcons rookie WR Drake London is generating consistent separation at training camp Details: The insight comes from Scott Bair (Falcons.com), who writes that London has consistently found ways to get [open]( during competitive 1-on-1 drills. - This is notable, as rookie receivers tend to struggle with route running and separation. 3 TDs: London, per Josh Kendall (The Athletic), caught [three]( touchdowns in one practice over the weekend. Two from Marcus Mariota and one from Desmond Ridder. - One of the Mariota-thrown touchdowns was described as an “acrobatic” snag over veteran CB Robert Alford. High Praise: All-Pro CB A.J. Terrell said of London: “Every day, I feel like he's getting comfortable. He's getting the playbook down. He moves a bit different. He's more confident in his route running and what he's got to do.” Starter: London, who the Falcons selected eighth overall, is already working as the team’s top receiver. Image: David J.

Rookie Review: Jenkins (6-6, 320) missed the majority of his rookie season with a back issue. In the six games he did appear in (two of them starts), he committed seven penalties and [allowed]( two sacks. Upside: From 2019 to 2020, Jenkins was one of college football’s better offensive tackles. He earned an elite 92.0 PFF grade as a senior and only allowed one sack across his entire collegiate career. Interest? Speculation holds that the Raiders and Broncos are two of the teams calling on the Bears — as both need help at right tackle. It’s worth noting that the Broncos conducted a pre-draft visit with Jenkins before last year’s draft. Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire McCreary [Roger McCreary] Titans rookie CB Roger McCreary has been a training camp standout Details: McCreary, a second-round pick, had two red zone [pass breakups]( on Treylon Burks during Monday’s practice. He also “nearly had a one-handed interception” of backup quarterback Logan Woodside. CB Depth: The Titans will go into the 2022 season with a talented young quartet at the position — 2021 first-rounder Caleb Farley, 2020 second-rounder Kristian Fulton, McCreary, and 2021 third-rounder Elijah Molden. - Tennessee allowed the eighth most passing yards in the league last season. More Titans News... - Rookie QB Malik Willis has been inconsistent as a passer. - Rookie TE Chig Okonkwo is getting first-team reps. Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire Texans [Brevin Jordan] Texans excited about TE Brevin Jordan and WR Nico Collins Jordan: Jordan, a 2021 fifth-rounder, has been a training camp [playmaker](. On Monday, he made “an exceptional leaping touchdown catch at the end of practice.” Rookie Review: Jordan reeled in 20 catches on 28 targets (71.4% catch-rate) for 178 yards and 3 touchdowns across nine game appearances (two of them starts). Half of his catches resulted in a first down. TE Depth: Jordan is expected to start over Pharaoh Brown and rookie fifth-rounder Teagan Quitoriano. Collins: Collins, a 2021 third-rounder, has impressed onlookers with his route running and natural receiving talent. - When asked if Collins is a [matchup]( problem for defenders, quarterback Davis Mills recently said: “Definitely, yeah, size and athletic abilities. I don't think there's too many people out there who can play and jump with him.” Rookie Review: Collins caught 33 of 60 targets (55.0% catch-rate) for 446 yards and 1 touchdown across fourteen game appearances (eight of them starts). WR Depth: Collins is expected to start opposite Brandin Cooks. Other notable Texans receivers include Phillip Dorsett and Chris Conley.
