Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins is running with the first team in OTAs.

Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone said he could use WR Robert Woods both outside and in the slot position in his rookie season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano cleared things up by saying that QB Josh Freeman is the team's starting quarterback Monday, May 20. Schiano had said previously that QB Mike Glennon could "play quickly" if necessary.

Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley did not rule out the possibility of QB EJ Manuel being the starting quarterback this season. Whaley said the team likes Manuel's work ethic and leadership abilities but that he will have to compete for the job.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said WR Ace Sanders may not participate in offseason workouts until next month because he is dealing with abdomen and hip injuries.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert lined up at tight end on both ends of the offensive line as well as a slot receiver during the team's rookie minicamp. Eifert said he believes he is picking up the offense relatively quick.

Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy said he is not worried about his surgically repaired toe and does not believe it will be a problem. "It's nothing that I'm thinking about. I'm pretty sure I won't have any problems with it. It's holding up good. The surgery was basically perfect, and now it's about getting back to doing what I know how to do best," Lacy said. Lacy added that he believes he will fit in the offense well this season. "I feel that I can fit into the offense perfectly. They won't have to change anything. I'll be able to go in there and adapt to it. It'll keep defenses guessing," Lacy said.

The New York Jets are "smitten" with rookie QB Geno Smith, and it's beginning to look more likely that the starting job is his to lose.

Oakland Raiders QB Tyler Wilson is "miles ahead" of where recent Raiders quarterbacks arrived as draft picks. He could possibly climb to No. 2 on the depth chart before the season is over.

Dallas Cowboys RB Joseph Randle said he expects to be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing thumb surgery earlier this offseason. He is expected to be limited during the team's rookie minicamp.

San Francisco 49ers RB Marcus Lattimore said he would be fine with sitting out the entire 2013 season if that is what the team thinks is best. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Lattimore's anterior cruciate ligament looks good, but the team wants him to slow down on his cutting drills.

Buffalo Bills WR Marquise Goodwin agreed to terms on a four year contract that will pay $2.85 million that includes $598,876 bonus.

Miami Dolphins TE Dion Sims is expected to push for playing time after dropping to 264 pounds from the 280-pound range. The team expects to use him in two-tight end sets with TE Dustin Keller. Keller isn't known to be a great blocker, and Sims will be relied upon to block.

Updating previous reports, Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy didn't have toe fusion surgery before his senior year at Alabama. It was a surgery to correct turf toe. Unlike the typical toe fusion surgery--which hardens the toe completely, limiting mobility--only the bone on the tip of Lacy's big toe was fused. "The joint underneath the toenail was fused to allow the ligament to work better basically," Alabama's team doctor E. Lyle Cain Jr. said. "It's something you do to give you a better push-off. His big toe moves just like a normal big toe in terms of motion... If you fused it completely, it'd give you a stiff big toe and you can't push off and that's a big problem. In Eddie's case, he does not have that. His fusion does not affect his big-toe motion."

Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone said the team can play up-tempo offense or slow the offense down depending on the situation. "The thing I want to make sure everyone understands is we do have the ability to huddle and the ability to slow the game down if we wanted to. If we're ahead on the scoreboard and we're in a four-minute situation and you want to slow the game down, we have the ability to do that. We practice both right now and that will continue in terms of tempo. I like playing fast. I think you have a great advantage with that," Marrone said. Marrone said the up-tempo style will allow the team to earn more possessions during games.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said he believes TE Tyler Eifert can be a difference-maker for the team if he becomes more of a blocker. Gruden said the team will see what kind of blocker Eifert is during their rookie minicamp and work with him from there.

Miami Dolphins TE Dion Sims could see time in two-tight end sets this season because of his blocking ability.

There is mutual interest between the Kansas City Chiefs and OT Branden Albert on signing him to a contract extension.

Cincinnati Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis is expected to see the most carries this season. It would also be a surprise if both RBs Bernard Scott and Giovani Bernard made the team.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Denard Robinson made his debut Friday, May 3, at the team's rookie minicamp. He showed his speed and versatility, taking a majority of his repetitions with the first-team offense. He lined up in the backfield and at receiver during the two-hour practice.

Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said there is no timetable for DE Dion Jordan's return. "He's going to get himself well as quickly and completely as he possibly can, whenever that is," Philbin said. "And when the medical people deem that he's healthy, he will be joining us on a full-time basis."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Mike James could have the inside track as the team's backup running back behind RB Doug Martin, according to general manager Mark Dominik.

The Green Bay Packers are undergoing some changes to their offensive line for the 2013 season. In addition to moving OT Bryan Bulaga to left tackle, the coaches have flipped OG T.J. Lang and OG Josh Sitton, moving Lang from left to right guard and Sitton from right to left guard. OT Marshall Newhouse, OT Don Barclay and OT Derek Sherrod will compete for the starting right tackle spot.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid indicated OT Branden Albert will start at left tackle this season while OT Eric Fisher will start at right tackle.

The Cincinnati Bengals could use CB Onterio McCalebb at wide receiver during offseason workouts because they are looking for a position to use him. The team thinks he is too small to play running back, which is where he played in college.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said the team sees RB Le'Veon Bell as a three-down running back. Haley said Bell was the top running back on the team's draft board.

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix said Tuesday, April 30, that the team had a first-to-second round grade on WR Da'Rick Rogers, whom the team signed as an undrafted free agent. "Being from Tennessee, I've known his background," Nix said. "He's from Calhoun, Georgia, I knew him when he was playing in high school. The guy's got tremendous talent. He's made some bad decisions. It's gotten him in trouble. Got him out of the University of Tennessee, from an All-SEC performance in his sophomore year, and he goes to Tennessee Tech where he has a so-so year. He played down to the level of competition, really. But this guy's talented. He can play. The ball's in his court. He goes by the rules, and does like he's supposed to, or he goes somewhere else."

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said he expects third-round pick WR Markus Wheaton to play both inside and outside. The team likes the speed he possesses.

The Kansas City Chiefs are still looking to deal OT Branden Albert, even though talks with the Miami Dolphins are dormant. The Detroit Lions, San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals could be fits.

The Buffalo Bills are taking a low-risk, high-reward chance on WR Da'Rick Rogers, who was signed as an undrafted free agent Saturday, April 27. Rogers had the physical tools to be a draft pick, but poor off-field judgment hurt his stock and raised red flags. "It's frustrating, but I did it to myself," Rogers said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "And I realize how hard I have to work now that I'm behind the 8-ball. It's going to make me work that much harder."

The New Orleans Saints traded RB Chris Ivory to the New York Jets for a fourth-round draft pick. The Jets are expected to sign the newly-acquired Ivory to a long-term contract, according to sources.

The New Orleans Saints re-signed RB Chris Ivory Friday, April 19. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said he hopes WR Rod Streater will be able to continue his improvement in 2013. "I want to see him start where he left off, but I want to see continued improvement," Allen said. "I think the guy's got talent. I think he's a good route-runner. I think he's got good ball skills. I think he'll go up and attack the ball. I think he's a tough kid. I think he believes in a lot of the things I'm looking for in a football player."

California WR Keenan Allen is nursing a sprained posterior cruciate ligament that will prevent him from working out at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Southern California QB Matt Barkley will not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine. He might run, but will not throw until his Pro Day March 27. Doctors who have examined and worked with Barkley are convinced he has made outstanding progress from a separated shoulder. He already has been cleared to throw at his Pro Day. Barkley's shoulder is said to be 85 to 90 percent recovered. NFL teams will receive medical information from Dr. James Andrews to back up Barkley's decision not to throw at the Combine. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, it's indeed a medical decision as to why Barkley is not throwing.

Southern California QB Matt Barkley said he is not sure if he will be throwing at the NFL Scouting Combine. "It seems to be the trend not to (throw at the combine), and I don't feel that I have to," Barkley said. "We'll see when that time gets closer. It will be more of a game-day decision as to whether I'm going to. I want to do as much as I can. ... I don't feel I have to necessarily prove anything," Barkley said. He is expected to throw at a pro day after the combine.

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said the team is searching for a running back in this year's draft. "We need that shifty back that can come in and be that change-of-pace guy who can catch passes out of the backfield, a guy that can run routes and get one-on-one with a linebacker," Mayhew said. "That's what Jahvid [Best] gave us, a guy with some juice, some elusiveness." Oregon RB Kenjon Barner, Stanford RB Stepfan Taylor and Florida RB Mike Gillislee were the most impressive at the Senior Bowl this week, and Taylor is the most complete back of the three.

Pat Dye, agent for South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore, said Lattimore is scheduled to begin jogging next week. Lattimore recently met with Dr. James Andrews and was told that his torn lateral collateral ligament and posterior cruciate ligament have healed. Dye also said Lattimore is on a rehab from his torn anterior cruciate ligament that will allow him to be ready for the 2013 season.
