Green Bay's Family Night highlighted a fluid offensive line battle with Anthony Belton moving from guard to right tackle; Jager Burton and Jacob Monk emerged as guard contenders while Belton struggled.

Steelers Eye A New Backup: Brendan Sorsby in Supplemental Draft
Analyst Steve Palazzolo predicts the Steelers will bid a third-round pick to draft Brendan Sorsby in the mid-July supplemental draft, potentially reshaping Pittsburgh's QB room behind Drew Allar as Will Howard's spot becomes precarious; Sorsby's gambling-related eligibility issues and the team's rigorous background checks factor into the decision.
NFL 2026 Forecast: Dream and Nightmare Seasons for All 32 Teams
CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan maps out best- and worst-case scenarios for every NFL team ahead of the 2026 season, painting a spectrum from potential division titles and deep playoff runs to rebuilds, coaching changes, or disappointing collapses across all 32 franchises.
Broncos OTA Sparks: Nix Trending Toward Mini-Camp Return, Waddle Shines
During the Broncos' OTA with media, Bo Nix did not practice but is trending toward minicamp participation; Jonah Elliss remains at edge rusher after a potential position move, while Jaylen Waddle looked fast and aligned with Payton’s vision. Rookies and depth players (Turner, Reid, Bailey, among others) will vie for spots, and a backup QB battle appeared plausible as Sam Ehlinger reportedly looked better than Jarrett Stidham. Payton also confirmed there will be no joint practices at training camp.
Bengals Skip Bye Week After Spain Trip, Set Up Back-to-Back Primetime Games
The Cincinnati Bengals will not have a bye after their Madrid trip to face the Falcons in Week 9; instead, they are slated for back-to-back primetime games in Weeks 10 and 11 (Week 10 vs. Steelers on Sunday Night Football at Paycor, Week 11 vs. Commanders on Monday Night Football on the road), with a later Ravens Thursday Night Football game on New Year’s Eve.
Hurts Faces a Fork in Philly as Execs Debate 2027 Future
NFL executives remain divided on Jalen Hurts’ long-term fit with the Eagles: if the offense stumbles again, Philadelphia could consider trading him in 2027 due to guarantees and cap implications, while others believe he could thrive if the offense shifts to more play-action and under-center looks with a broader receiving corps and off-site work with players like Devonta Smith and Elijah Moore; a potential A.J. Brown trade could also influence the offense during this period.
Browns lock in eight from their 2026 draft class
The Cleveland Browns have signed eight of their ten 2026 NFL draft picks: Spencer Fano (OT, Utah), Denzel Boston (WR, Washington), Austin Barber (T, Florida), Parker Brailsford (C, Alabama), Justin Jefferson (LB, Alabama), Joe Royer (TE, Cincinnati), Taylen Green (QB, Arkansas) and Carsen Ryan (TE, BYU), with backgrounds and college achievements noted for each player.
Five Archetypes Explain Why Free Agents Sit In May
Breer groups available free agents into five archetypes—overmarketed veterans, older players who may skip OTAs, injury-prone figures, those with off-field/character questions, and end-of-career flag-bearers—to explain why they remain unsigned. He also cites Seattle’s savvy Dante Fowler Jr. signing as an example of veteran depth helping a contending team, and adds notes on Anthony Richardson’s Colts progression, Alvin Kamara’s desire to stay with the Saints, Patrick Mahomes’ rehab progress, and Aaron Rodgers’ situational uncertainty.
Dolphins Bet Big on Upside at WR With Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell
Miami used Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft to add high-upside receivers Caleb Douglas (Texas Tech) and Chris Bell (Louisville). Bell, coming off ACL surgery, is viewed as a potential No. 1 receiver who could contribute as soon as health allows, while Douglas adds depth. The Dolphins say they are building for 2028 and beyond, banking on Bell's return and the long-term upside rather than focusing solely on the 2026 season.
Eagles upgrade TE, OT on Day 2 and land Greenard in trade
On Day 2 the Eagles added tight end Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) at 54 and tackle Markel Bell (Miami) at 68, then traded two 2026 third-round picks and a 2027 seventh for edge defender Jonathan Greenard, who signed a four-year, $98 million deal. Stowers offers elite athleticism but needs blocker development; Bell provides rare size and versatility, potentially starting later if development goes well; Greenard could be a meaningful rush contributor if he returns to form. Grades given in the piece: Stowers B+, Bell B, Trade B.
Steelers Poised to Move Up in Draft for OL, WR Upgrades
The Steelers, led by GM Omar Khan, are prepared to trade up across the first two draft days, even multiple times, to address major needs while limiting risk to their top-100 picks. Day 1 targets include Spencer Fano (OT), Makai Lemon (WR), Vega Ioane (OG), and Monroe Freeling (OT) as top options to upgrade the line and receiving corps; Day 1 notes suggest Caleb Downs and a few others are unlikely to fall into range. Day 2 options expand to a mix of guards, linebackers, and defensive backs—guys like Jacob Rodriguez, Treydan Stukes, Keylan Rutledge, Jake Golday, and Germie Bernard—depending on who’s available, with the goal of maximizing value while balancing positional needs.
