Timeline: Coach Josh McDaniels, who refused to confirm the surgery, admitted that Garoppolo could be out until the start of training camp. QB Depth: 38-year-old Brian Hoyer and rookie fourth-rounder Aidan O’Connell will see increased reps for the time being. More Raiders News: - Davante Adams [downplayed]( his recent comments criticizing the Raiders’ organization. - Hunter Renfrow — who has been the subject of trade speculation — is not practicing for undisclosed reasons. Image: @Raiders Falcons [Desmond Ridder] Falcons OTAs: Desmond Ridder struggles with accuracy, Kyle Pitts still rehabbing Details: The Athletic’s Josh Kendall [observed]( that Ridder was “high on several throws during individual drills and missed rookie running back Bijan Robinson on a short pass during seven-on-seven work.” - Kendall wrote that some level of concern about Ridder’s lack of accuracy is justified. 2022 Review: Ridder completed 63.5% of his passes for 708 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions across four games as a rookie last season. His completion rate ranked 26th among quarterbacks with more than 100 pass attempts. Pitts: Pitts, who had knee (MCL) surgery last November, has not been cleared to practice. The third-year tight end is targeting a training camp return. TE Depth: Jonnu Smith is working with the starting unit and had a [strong]( practice on Thursday. Other tight ends include Parker Hesse and 2022 sixth-rounder John Fitzpatrick. Image: David J. Griffin/Icon Sportswire Cowboys [Vaughn] Cowboys OTAs: RB Deuce Vaughn wows, WR Michael Gallup looks healthy Vaughn: Vaughn made the play of the day — a 45-yard [sliding catch]( with a defensive back “draped over him like a tablecloth.” Profile: The Cowboys selected Vaughn in the sixth round out of Kansas State. The 5-5, 179-pounder led the FBS with 1,936 all-purpose yards (1,558 rushing, 379 receiving) over 14 starts last season. He also scored 12 touchdowns. - Former NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson recently [compared]( Vaughn to Darren Sproles, stating, “I think this could be a matchup nightmare out the backfield… There’s no way you’re going to stop him one-on-one from running option routes.” Role: Vaughn is competing for the No. 2 running back job behind Tony Pollard. If he wins it, he’ll see significant action as a rookie. Gallup: Patrik Walker (Cowboys.com) wrote that Gallup “looks eerily back to form to begin OTAs. There's a noticeable spring in his step that was absent in 2022, as he returned from a torn ACL." - Gallup only averaged 2.8 receptions for 30.3 yards per game in 2022. Image: @Cowboys Jaguars [Brnadon McManus] Jaguars sign K Brandon McManus, trade Riley Patterson to the Lions McManus: McManus, who was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, has [agreed]( to a one-year deal with the Jaguars. 2022 Review: The 31-year-old made 28-of-36 (77.8%) field goal attempts and 25-of-27 (92.6%) extra points. - He went 20-of-23 from 20-49, 8-of-11 from 50-59, and 0-of-2 from +60. Patterson: Jacksonville [traded]( Patterson to Detroit (for a conditional 2026 seventh-rounder) directly after the McManus signing. 2022 Review: Patterson made 30-of-35 (85.7%) field goal attempts and 36-of-37 (97.3%) extra points last season. - He went 28-of-32 from 20-49 and 2-of-3 from 50-59. Image: Dustin Bradford/Icon Sportswire Lions [Jack Campbell] Lions OTAs: RB David Montgomery hurts leg, LB Jack Campbell gets 1st team reps Montgomery: Montgomery, who signed with the Lions in March, left practice early after [injuring]( his leg. The 25-year-old walked off the field with a trainer. - Montgomery missed four games in 2021 with a knee injury and one game last season with an ankle issue. RB1: First-round rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs impressed reporters with his explosive athletic ability. Mike O’Hara (Lions.com) wrote, “He can cut back at full speed without slowing down, and he caught passes out of the backfield without breaking stride.” Campbell: Campbell — the Lions’ other first-rounder — worked with both the first and second linebacker units. On a play during the 7-on-7 period, Campbell (6-5, 250) ran stride-for-stride down the sideline with running back Jermar Jefferson (5-10, 212) for around 50 yards. Profile: Campbell totaled 125 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2022. He won the Dick Butkus Award (nation's top linebacker), the William V. Campbell Award (Academic Heisman), Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Big Ten Linebacker of the Year, and was named a first-team Associated Press All-American.
