Cunningham, who joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent this spring, has been seeing work at receiver during OTAs, Nick O'Malley of masslive.com reports.

The Patriots reportedly signed Cunningham to a deal with $200,000 guaranteed, the most the team has ever spent on an undrafted player. During his college career at Louisville, Cunningham (who New England lists at 6-0, 188 pounds) played quarterback, but with Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe and Trace McSorley also in the team's signal-caller mix, the rookie's versatility could be his ticket to securing a roster spot ahead of the coming season.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers (calf) won't participate in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, but the veteran quarterback is cleared to do everything else, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The Jets continue to monitor a minor calf strain that Rodgers suffered at the beginning of OTAs, but there hasn't been any indication it'll impact the quarterback's availability for training camp. Don't be surprised if Rodgers takes it easy for the remainder of New York's OTAs.

Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday that Brissett is still in the running for the starting job, even though Sam Howell has taken all the first-team reps this offseason, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.

Last year, Brissett served as the Browns' starting quarterback while Deshaun Watson was suspended. The former completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 2,608 yards and a 12:6 TD:INT across 11 starts. He also rushed 47 times for 238 yards and two scores during that stretch. While Rivera may publicly call it an open competition, it sounds like the Commanders are going to give Howell every chance to prove himself before moving on to Brissett. It's a role the veteran has occupied numerous times during his seven-year career, so he should be ready to step up if called upon.

Howell has taken all the first-team reps this offseason, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.

While Howell has the early lead to begin 2023 as a starter, coach Ron Rivera is still publicly calling it an open competition between the second-year quarterback and veteran Jacoby Brissett. Howell had a strong preseason as a rookie but posted mixed results in his lone regular-season start against the Cowboys in Week 18. He completed 58 percent of his passes for 169 yards, a touchdown and an interception while rushing five times for 35 yards and an additional score. If he can hold onto the starting job, Howell's mobility combined with Washington's talented wideout corps could make the 2022 fifth-round pick an intriguing option late in fantasy drafts.

McCoy (elbow) has been a full participant at OTAs, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports reports.

McCoy injured his elbow last season and needed offseason surgery. He's been getting the bulk of the first-team reps this spring with Kyler Murray still recovering from his torn ACL. There's a good chance McCoy opens the year as Arizona's starter, as the prospect of Murray being available Week 1 is iffy.

Herbert (shoulder) plans to participate in 7-on-7 drills this week at OTAs, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Herbert underwent surgery on the labrum in his left shoulder following the 2022 campaign and resumed throwing in early May. He's set to take another step forward in his rehab this week, as he'll participate in team drills for the first time this offseason, and he remains on pace to be fully healthy by training camp. A lingering rib issue for Herbert coupled with injuries to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams made for a disappointing 2022 for the Chargers offense, but the quarterback got a new offensive coordinator (Kellen Moore) and a new wideout (Quentin Johnston) this offseason, so there's optimism Herbert can bounce back in 2023.

Jacobs hasn't signed his franchise tender and is ineligible for mandatory minicamp, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels didn't appear to be too concerned with the situation, saying he respects the process and is looking forward to seeing Jacobs in July when the deadline to sign the franchise tag expires. After back-to-back mediocre seasons, the 2019 first-round pick had a resurgent 2022 campaign, totaling career highs in rushing attempts (340), rushing yards (1,653) and receiving yards (400).

Buffalo waived Bowser on Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Bowser signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in mid-May after impressing as a tryout player during Buffalo's rookie minicamp but has been let go to make room for the addition of Leonard Floyd. The 6-foot-1 running back totaled 1,502 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns over his final two seasons at Central Florida.

The Steelers signed Hagans on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Hagans signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May, but he was let go at the start of June and has quickly found a new home. The 23-year-old running back rushed for 1,012 yards for Virginia State in 2022.

The Broncos waived Crockett on Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Crockett spent the entire 2022 campaign on injured reserve due to a torn ACL, but he was waived without an injury designation, which suggests he's back to full strength. The undrafted product out of Missouri appeared in 12 games with the Broncos in 2021, playing primarily on special teams.

Commanders coaches have been surprisingly pleased with Rodriguez's receiving skills at OTAs, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

Rodriguez comes in as a sixth-round pick after a college career at Kentucky in which he had more rushing touchdowns (33) than receptions (20). The 219-pounder is more of a threat to take the type of snaps/touches Brian Robinson got last year than those that went to Antonio Gibson, but at this early stage of the offseason it isn't clear if Rodriguez is a serious threat to have a role on offense at all early in the season. He's reportedly been working hard on special teams, which will be an especially important factor for making the Week 1 roster if the Commanders roll with only three running backs. Jaret Patterson and Jonathan Williams are the other RBs competing for roles behind Gibson/Robinson.

Williams opened the offseason program working as Washington's No. 3 running back, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Williams has a real shot to keep the role heading into Week 1, but it wouldn't necessarily make him third in line for touches on offense. He's an experienced special teamer, which means the 29-year-old might technically be active over fellow RBs Chris Rodriguez and Jaret Patterson on gamedays even if one or both of the young backs is ahead of Williams in the pecking order for carries. All are behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson, the returning top two in a Washington backfield that could be reevaluated under new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Flowers (undisclosed) suffered a minor tweak Tuesday but is expected to participate in mandatory minicamp next week, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Flowers appears to have been shut down during Tuesday's practice, and the Ravens are opting to be cautious with their rookie first-round pick. Baltimore has high hopes for the Boston College product, who should play a major role in what is expected to be an improved passing attack that'll feature Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham and Mark Andrews.

Thomas (toe) was present for Tuesday's OTA practice.

A toe injury limited Thomas to three games in 2022, but he continues to progress as the coming season approaches. While his presence for OTAs is encouraging, coach Dennis Allen reiterated Tuesday that the team's main focus with regard to Thomas is getting the wideout ready for training camp. If he avoids any injury setbacks, Thomas -- who has played in only 10 contests over the last three seasons -- will have a chance to reclaim his key role in a New Orleans wide receiver corps that also includes Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, with newcomer Derek Carr now handling the team's starting QB duties. For now, however, Thomas will be limited, with Patrick Magee of the New Orleans Times-Tribune relaying that the 30-year-old worked off to the side with the Saints' signal callers Tuesday, simulating some routes.

Cooper (abdomen) participated in 11-on-11 drills during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cooper had been limited to individual and walk-through drills during OTAs, so it's encouraging to see him take the next step in his rehab during the mandatory part of Cleveland's offseason program. In his first season with the Browns, Cooper caught 78 of 132 targets for 1,160 yards and nine scores and is in line to be Deshaun Watson's top target in 2023.

The Seahawks waived Johnson on Monday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Johnson signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Seahawks in mid-May, but he's been let go ahead of mandatory minicamp. During his final campaign at East Carolina, the 6-foot-1 wideout caught 67 passes for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Chrest was waived by the Steelers on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Chrest signed with the Steelers on May 25, but he will now look for another opportunity elsewhere. The wide receiver went undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft after a three-year collegiate career with Sam Houston State and will likely operate as a practice squad option if he latches on with a team in 2023.

The Cowboys signed Johnson on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site, Johnson was one of several players to go through a workout Monday and presumably impressed enough to earn a contract ahead of mandatory minicamp. The undrafted wideout out of Oklahoma State caught 20 of 26 targets for 398 yards and three scores across 12 appearances as a rookie with the Chargers, but he's played in just 14 games with three different teams (Jaguars, Raiders and Texans) over the past two years. In a corresponding move, Dallas cut Antonio Callaway.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Schoonmaker (foot) is expected to be ready for training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Schoonmaker has been sidelined while battling a plantar fascia issue, but it doesn't appear to be too serious. When healthy, the rookie second-round pick should compete with Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot for snaps in 2023.

Turner "wowed" during training camp last year and is doing the same in practices this spring, Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Zach Selby of the Commanders' official website also mentions Turner as one of the standouts from OTAs in May. The 2022 fifth-round pick caught only two passes in 10 games as a rookie last year -- both during a Week 6 contest where injuries forced him into an every-down role -- but it isn't out of the question that Turner could displace soon-to-be 32-year-old Logan Thomas as Washington's top TE this summer. Thomas suffered an Achilles tear in 2021 and averaged only 8.3 yards per catch and 5.3 yards per target in 14 games last season (39-323-1 on 61 targets).

Mallory (foot) was spotted in a boot Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Mallory is dealing with a right foot/ankle injury and was sidelined at practice Friday. The tight end was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and is expected to compete for a reserve role behind Jelani Woods (hamstring) this season.

Ogletree (knee) remains sidelined at the Colts' OTAs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Ogletree suffered a torn ACL at practice last August and he's been slowly recovering since. Instead of rushing their second-year tight end back, the Colts seem adamant in taking their time with Ogletree. Once healthy, the 24-year-old will look to compete with the likes of Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox for the reserve role behind starter Jelani Woods (hamstring).

Schoonmaker is dealing with a case of plantar fascia and has been limited at OTAs, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Schoonmaker was spotted wearing a protective boot on his right foot at practice Thursday. The tight end was selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and once healthy, he's expected to compete with Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot for snaps this season.

Ellefson announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After three seasons in the league, Ellefson decided to hang up his cleats Thursday. The tight end will finish his career with four total receptions for 36 yards over 16 contests while operating mostly as a special-teams option as a member of the Jaguars and Vikings.

Fry agreed to a contract with the Broncos on Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

He becomes the lone kicker on the Broncos roster after they released Brandon McManus last week. Given that Fry has attempted only six field goals in the NFL, it's probably a matter of time before the team brings in competition for the kicking job.

The Lions acquired Patterson from the Jaguars in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick Thursday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

It was initially reported that Patterson was going to be waived by the Jaguars after they signed Brandon McManus on Thursday, but Detroit swooped in late and kept Patterson from hitting the open market. Patterson went 30-of-35 on field goals last season and 36-of-37 on extra points. He kicked for the Lions in 2021 for seven games, making 13 of 14 field goals in that span.

Patterson was waived by the Jaguars on Thursday.

Patterson handled kicking duties for all 17 Jaguars games last season, making 30 of his 35 field-goal attempts and 36 of his 37 extra-point tries. In a corresponding move, Jacksonville signed former Broncos kicker Brandon McManus. Patterson will now work to find a new opportunity.

The Jaguars signed McManus to a one-year contract Thursday.

McManus was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, but after just two days he finds a new home in Jacksonville. The 31-year-old, who had spent his entire NFL career to date in Denver, converted just 28 of 36 field goals to go with 25 of 27 extra-point attempts during the 2022 season. Though McManus' conversion percentage isn't extraordinary, that's in part due to his high volume of long-distance kicks (13 tries from 50-plus yards last season). He was 10-for-10 on attempts from 40-49 yards out in 2022.

Maher was one of three kickers to work out for the Broncos on Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

The Broncos currently don't have a kicker on their roster after waiving Brandon McManus on Tuesday, prompting the team to bring in Maher, Elliott Fry and Parker White for evaluation. Maher's tenure in Dallas came to a close this offseason after he struggled mightily in the playoffs, but overall, he was solid in 2022 and made 31 of his 34 field-goal attempts across 19 games. Tomasson adds that Maher also underwent a physical Wednesday, and while no deal is imminent, Denver does at least appear interested in bringing in the 33-year-old for an extended look.

The Broncos are releasing McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 31-year-old has spent his entire career in Denver, playing 144 of a possible 146 regular-season games over nine years. McManus was scheduled for non-guaranteed base salaries of $3.65 million in 2023 and $3.85 million in 2024, so his release is likely about cap space more than performance. While his career 81.4 percent success rate on FG attempts is subpar by modern standards, McManus has attempted a ton of long-distance kicks due to his strong leg and the altitude in Denver, with tries of 50-plus yards accounting for 26.3 percent of his career volume (and 62.7 percent of his misses). It's unclear who will replace him in Denver, but with teams like the Cowboys and Rams lacking established kicking options, he may not be out of work for long.

Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones said Monday that Lewis will open training camp on the PUP list, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lewis ended 2022 on injured reserve with a Lisfranc injury and has been trying to get back to full strength this offseason, but it sounds like he'll be unavailable to start the 2023 campaign. If the 2017 third-round pick is placed on the PUP list, he'll be forced to miss at least the first six games of the season.

Takitaki (knee) was rehabbing on the side field to start mandatory minicamp, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Takitaki recorded a career-high 71 tackles before tearing his ACL in Week 13 last year. Given the typical return timeline for an ACL tear, it'd be surprising to see the 2019 third-round pick cleared for full-contact practices by the start of the 2023 campaign, but the team hasn't ruled that possibility out yet. Takitaki has started 28 games over the past three seasons and re-signed with the Browns this offseason via a one-year deal.

Walker (quadriceps) was rehabbing on the side field to start mandatory minicamp, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Walker suffered a season-ending quadriceps tear in Week 3 last year and continues to work his way back to full strength. The veteran linebacker re-signed with Cleveland this offseason on a one-year deal, and when healthy, he'll presumably reclaim his starting spot. There hasn't been any indication Walker is in danger of missing the start of the 2023 campaign, but further information should surface as the offseason progresses.

Perryman (shoulder) participated Tuesday at OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Perryman wasn't practicing to start OTAs while rehabbing from offseason labrum surgery, but he appears to be on the final stages of his recovery and should be good to go for training camp. The veteran linebacker recorded 237 tackles in 27 games across two seasons with Las Vegas before signing a one-year deal with Houston this offseason.

Ridgeway (groin) participated Tuesday at OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Ridgeway was dealing with a hamstring issue at the beginning of OTAs, but he appears to have put the issue behind him. The 2016 fourth-round pick signed a deal with Houston this offseason after recording 28 tackles and a sack across 12 appearances for the 49ers in 2022.

Griffin didn't participate Tuesday at OTAs due to a back injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The severity of the issue is unclear, but further information should become available as the offseason progresses. When healthy, Griffin, who signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Texans in May, should compete with Steven Nelson for the starting spot opposite Derek Stingley (hamstring) in Houston's secondary.
