Rhythm: OTA participation will allow Herbert to get acclimated with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and first-round receiver Quinten Johnston before training camp. Contract Update: Herbert [sidestepped]( when asked if he’d be willing to play out the 2023 season without a new contract. - Extension negotiations are active and ongoing according to Chargers coach Brandon Staley.

Hopkins: Jones said the Cowboys are unlikely to pursue DeAndre Hopkins, as the team is “pleased” with the existing receiver depth chart. - Dallas is set to open the 2023 season with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, Michael Gallup, Jalen Tolbert, and Simi Fehoko. - There’s particular [excitement]( about the development of Tolbert, who was a fourth-round pick in 2022. Kicker: Jones also indicated that the Cowboys are likely to add a kicker before training camp opens in July. The only kicker on the team right now is Tristan Vizcaino, who has made 11-of-12 field goal attempts (with a long of 47 yards) since entering the league in 2020.

He moved briskly through his reads before finding open receivers in the flat. He threw one short-range pass so assuredly over the middle that tight end Charlie Kolar appeared surprised to find it pinned against his numbers.” Data Point: Jackson’s average time to throw — per Next Gen Stats — has [ranked]( in the bottom five among qualifying quarterbacks in every season since 2018. - He took an average of 3.0 seconds to throw last season, which put him in the company of quarterbacks like Justin Fields (3.12 seconds), Zach Wilson (3.13 seconds), and Sam Darnold (3.24 seconds). Duvernay: Duvernay, who missed four games last season with a foot issue, was described by Clifton Brown (Ravens.com) as the “best receiver on the field.” The 25-year-old is working as Jackson’s top receiver, with Odell Beckham Jr. not attending OTAs and Rashod Bateman (foot) being held out of competitive drills.

He earned a solid 65.7 PFF grade. - The 30-year-old pass rusher has tallied 9 or more sacks in each of the last three seasons. Bills' Fit: Floyd will add depth to a Bills’ pass rush unit that struggled after Von Miller tore his ACL on Thanksgiving last year. Miller could miss a chunk of games to start the 2023 season. - The Bills only pressured Joe Burrow on 8-of-37 dropbacks in the team’s playoff loss to the Bengals. Hopkins: Bills GM Brandon Beane told Pat McAfee [not]( to rule out a DeAndre Hopkins signing, though cautioned that financials will be an important factor. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Stingley [Derek Stingley] Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr. getting Pro Bowl hype Details: ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime tweeted that Stingley looks “physically different compared to last year” and that he wouldn’t be “shocked” if the second-year corner [makes]( the Pro Bowl. 2022 Review: Stingley, who the Texans took with the third overall pick of last year’s draft, allowed 34 completions on 54 targets (63.0%) for 409 yards and 0 touchdowns across nine games. - Statistically, he totaled 43 tackles, 5 pass deflections, and 1 interception. Scheme: Bien-Aime thinks Stingley will benefit from DeMeco Ryan’s defensive scheme, which puts defensive backs “in positions to succeed.” On the Rise: Houston’s secondary in general seems set for a breakout season. In addition to Stingley, the unit features an emerging star at safety in Jalen Pitre and solid vets in Jimmie Ward, Desmond King II, Steven Nelson, and Shaquill Griffin.
