Lions Camp Day: Edge Rushers Out, Jabari Small Returns to Practice

Detroit Lions trimmed practice with a mix of returns and absences: Jabari Small returned to drills after a concussion, though he finished by sprinting with a trainer during team work; Miles Frazier wore a left-leg wrap, and Nick Whiteside worked at safety as cornerback depth remains thin. Not practicing were RB Isiah Pacheco, OT Giovanni Manu, C Cade Mays, G Michael Niese, and edge rushers Payton Turner, Derrick Moore, Ahmed Hassanein. Trevor Nowaske left Tuesday with a minor strain but is expected to be fine; safety Christian Izien is uncertain for the opener vs New Orleans but the team expects to get him back later. Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch remain on the PUP list, and Thomas Harper is dealing with an ankle. Detroit will finish camp with Thursday’s finale.

Jets Face Reality Check: QB Woes Still Undermine Their Rebuild

The Jets’ offseason rebuild highlights their persistent quarterback problem as Geno Smith struggled in a joint practice with the Buccaneers—10-of-16, multiple sacks, and two interceptions—far underscoring the team’s QB instability despite a talented supporting cast. Roookie edge rusher David Bailey flashed as a breakout, the defense looked strong, and players like Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall provide hope, but without a reliable quarterback the Jets still appear unlikely playoff contenders. The Buccaneers, led by Baker Mayfield, look like legitimate contenders, while the practice also featured several on-field fights.

LSU Fall Camp Week 2: Leavitt Efficient, Edge Depth Tested

LSU entered the second week of fall camp with pads coming later this week as it prepares for Clemson. The session featured Tamarcus Cooley moving to safety with Ty Benefield, Jhase Thomas earning early first-unit looks at edge, and Princewill Umanmieien among the edge contenders. Injuries limited Gabriel Reliford for the year and Damien Shanklin was out again, boosting depth at the thinning edge group led by Braker. Quarterback Sam Leavitt completed 18 of 20 passes to a variety of targets in a passing progression, while Trey’Dez Green wore a yellow no-contact jersey but appeared unrestricted. The report outlines the ongoing practice schedule as LSU gauges its lineup for the upcoming season.

Bengals Day 2 Camp Highlights: Young LB Duo Shines, Iosivas Steps Up

Jonathan Allen is poised to boost the interior rush after Dexter Lawrence's addition, while rookie linebackers Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter show early promise; Boye Mafe is being used in coverage by Al Golden's scheme, and Andrei Iosivas appears poised to push into a larger WR role in a contract year.

Lions' Edge Reimagined: Wonnum, Moore Lead 2026 Rotation

Detroit is rebuilding its edge group around Aidan Hutchinson for a more pass-rush–focused rotation. Veteran DJ Wonnum should start opposite Hutchinson, with rookie Derrick Moore pushing for more snaps as the season unfolds. Payton Turner brings upside but durability questions and a limited role. Ahmed Hassanein shifts to a chunky “Big” end to hold the edge, while UDFA options Anthony Lucas and Eric O’Neill vie for development spots. Five new edges (Wonnum, Turner, Moore, Lucas, O’Neill) signal a clear 2026 rebuild compared to last year.

Bears Target Veteran Edge Rusher Snowden After Raiders Move on

The Chicago Bears could claim Charles Snowden, a former UDFA edge rusher who spent 2024–25 with the Raiders, after Las Vegas waived him. Snowden has shown pass-rush ability and versatility (including occasional inside rushing) and could add veteran depth and competition for Chicago’s edge group as the team assesses Dayo Odeyingbo and Shemar Turner this offseason.

49ers’ No. 27 Pick: Jeremiah Weighs Edge Depth Against Offensive Line Value

49ers’ No. 27 Pick: Jeremiah Weighs Edge Depth Against Offensive Line Value

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah explains the 49ers’ approach to the 2026 first-round pick at No. 27, noting more depth at edge rushers could push San Francisco toward targeting an offensive tackle for first-round value, while also keeping open the option to trade back for more capital. He mentions a potential Kenyon Sadiq selection as a creative fit, highlights defensive options like Akheem Mesidor and T. J. Parker if they stay put, and suggests Malachi Lawrence as a back‑end trade-back target, with the ultimate call hinging on depth, value, and draft-night instincts.

Chargers weigh a trade-down dream at 22, but odds are slim

With the 22nd pick in the NFL Draft, the Chargers reportedly prefer to trade down to add more selections, but a viable partner is unlikely; their top needs are left guard and edge rusher, so they’re eyeing interior offensive-line depth (Ioane, Bisontis, Pregnon, Rutledge, Dunker) or a mobile tackle who could kick inside, while potential moves by teams like the Cardinals to jump up for a quarterback could influence the board—if no trade materializes, sticking at 22 remains the most likely scenario.

Giants eye trade-down strategy to boost 2026 draft haul

The New York Giants could trade down from No. 5 to collect more second- to fourth-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, with one of the premier edge rushers Arvell Reese or David Bailey likely to trigger interest from teams after the Titans pick at No. 4; potential partners include the Saints, Chiefs, and Cowboys, and the Giants even consider reshuffling cap space via Kayvon Thibodeaux to maximize their three top-10 selections and fill needs at edge, OL, and WR.

Beat writers from across the country project the 2026 NFL first round in a 32-pick mock that leans toward edge rushers, features five Ohio State players in the first round (including three in the top seven), and has a quarterback going No. 1 (Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders), illustrating a mix of long‑term value and immediate impact needs.

Trench-First Blueprint for the Eagles in the 2026 Draft

Trench-First Blueprint for the Eagles in the 2026 Draft

The piece argues the Eagles should target offensive linemen or edge defenders in the first round of the 2026 draft if the value is right, prioritizing the trenches over receivers or other positions. It lists trench prospects on The Athletic’s consensus big board and notes safeties and tight ends are unlikely first‑round targets. The article also breaks down the NFC East contenders’ draft situations: the Giants at picks 5 and 10 (with discussion of trading back and potential targets like Sonny Styles, Jeremiyah Love, or Caleb Downs), the Commanders at 7 but with no second or fourth rounds due to past trades, and the Cowboys at 12 and 20 (with talk of moving up for Sonny Styles). Overall, it frames a strategy that avoids reaching at non-trench positions and leverages value in Day 1–2 to shape the later rounds.
