Mahomes Ahead of Schedule as Chiefs OTAs Open, WR Depth in Flux

Day 1 of Chiefs OTAs showed Patrick Mahomes progressing ahead of schedule after ACL/LCL surgery, participating in individual drills but not a full practice; the next hurdle is running and cutting, with a realistic shot at it by training camp. Wideout Xavier Worthy remains limited in a yellow non-contact jersey, and Rashee Rice is absent, creating more opportunities for Jalen Royals as Andy Reid provides targeted coaching. Emmett Johnson continued to work with the punt-return unit as the upback, signaling a noteworthy role on special teams as the team builds depth during offseason workouts.

Patriots OTAs Spotlight Five Key Position Battles

As organized team activities begin, the Patriots will sort five depth-chart questions: who becomes the third running back behind Stevenson among Miller, Montgomery, Larison and Jennings; who starts at wide receiver among Doubs, Boutte and Hollins (with Brown potentially changing the mix); who fills the third linebacker spot behind Spillane and Elliss (Britt vs Muma, Obiazor, Jacobs); who provides depth at defensive tackle behind Williams and Barmore (Durden, Taylor III, Farmer, Gregory, Pharms Jr. competing); and who backs up outside cornerback behind Gonzalez, Davis and Jones (Woods, Prunty, Canada and others in the mix).

Six Spring OTAs Storylines to Watch for the Patriots

The Patriots’ off-season program centers on six spring storylines at OTAs: where first‑round tackle Caleb Lomu fits on the offensive line; the Maye‑to‑Doubs connection; the backend depth battles at wide receiver; the RB3 competition; Josh McDaniels’s new regular package; and defensive depth across corner, safety, linebacker, and defensive tackle, with notes on Boutte’s status and possible A.J. Brown trade buzz during non‑contact practices open to the media.

Browns push depth at OTAs with four-quarterback rotations on Day 2

Day 2 of Browns OTAs featured four quarterbacks—Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green—rotating through two-spot drills to maximize reps and development, with no clear frontrunner yet. Watson showed his athleticism, Sanders has progressed in decision-making, and Gabriel/Green split reps to keep all options in play. A highlight was Watson-to-Denzel Boston for a deep TD in 7-on-7, while veterans returning from injury (Dawand Jones, Elgton Jenkins) saw action and Judkins contributed on the backfield. The defense created turnovers in 7-on-7, underscoring a competitive spring session ahead of minicamp.
