Jakobi Meyers - WR

New England Patriots

The Athletic's Jeff Howe speculates the Patriots' "competition is wide open for the fourth and fifth receiver jobs."

Added Yesterday 8:57 am (EST)

Jeff Howe on Twitter

Assuming Julian Edelman (shoulder surgery) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle surgery) are both cleared for camp, second-year pro N'Keal Harry is the only other 'lock' among New England's receiving options. Howe notes that Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski are the incumbents for those roster spots with Damiere Byrd, Marqise Lee, and UDFAs Will Hastings and Jeff Thomas as potential pivots. Assuming it's Jarrett Stidham under center against the Dolphins in Week 1, the team would be wise to sift through legitimate options at that position as soon as possible.

J. Agnew - DB

DET

Lions DB Jamal Agnew is transitioning to receiver full time.

Agnew only played 16 snaps on offense (all at receiver) and 22 snaps on defense (all at corner) last season. The 2017 fifth-round pick will need to prove capable in a limited offseason to solidify his spot in the offensive rotation. The Lions have one of the better three-receiver starting lineups in the NFL but have room for Agnew to be a depth option and primary special teamer. Agnew has returned punts and kicks in all three of his NFL seasons.

J. Flacco - QB

NYJ

Speaking Tuesday, Joe Flacco (neck surgery) confirmed he will not be ready for Week 1.

“I can’t speak to exactly when I’m going to be ready, but it will not be day one," Flacco said. This, frankly, makes it unclear why the Jets signed him, as they may now end up carrying four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, a horrid misuse of resources. Flacco sounds like a potential candidate for reserve/PUP, which would reduce that number to three until Flacco was activated.

N. Spence - DL

Saints placed DE Noah Spence on the reserve/NFI list with a torn ACL, ending his season.

Spence suffered the injury working out on his own. The ex-Bucs second-round bust made seven appearances for the Saints last season before re-signing a few weeks into free agency. Although he is still only 26 years old, it's the sort of injury a fringe NFLer is going to have a hard time coming back from.

D. Chark - WR

JAC

New Jaguars OC Jay Gruden plans to feature D.J. Chark all over the formation, including the slot.

It is standard summer coachspeak. This might not necessarily mean anything different for Chark, who ran 24 percent of his routes out of the slot last season. Regardless of what Gruden says, he will be a big upgrade as a schemer for Chark. The Jags featured some of the league's least-imaginative play-calling in 2019.

J. Ramsey - DB

Contract-year Rams CB Jalen Ramsey says he will not hold out of training camp.

Ramsey has as much leverage as any player in recent memory after the Rams gave up the farm to get him last October, but he has decided to play nice, at least initially. The new CBA features amazingly punitive holdout fines, though not for players still on their first contract. It seems like both sides want to get something done here.

M. Trubisky - QB

CHI

Bears coach Matt Nagy said both Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky will play with the starters during the preseason.

This of course assumes that teams are cleared to return for preseason games. Nagy doesn't normally look to play his starters in August, but Chicago's "open competition" under center will force the issue at hand this year. With past experience under QB coach John DeFilippo (Jaguars, Eagles), OC Bill Razor (Eagles), and Nagy (Eagles, Chiefs), Foles is fully expected to be in the lineup for the Bears' season opener in Detroit.

P. Campbell - WR

IND

Colts coach Frank Reich said WR Parris Campbell will "play more in the slot" this season.

"I'm super excited about Parris," Reich said. "Just gotta get him on the field so he can develop as a route runner." Forecasted as a rookie breakout upon being drafted in the second round, Campbell sustained four separate injuries (including a season-ending broken foot) that ultimately kept him from ever taking off. Expected to be fully healthy heading into his sophomore campaign, Campbell, who ran 47.9 percent of his routes from the slot last year, projects as the likeliest candidate to leverage his 4.31 40-jets underneath and over the middle of the field in place of Chester Rogers (87.9% in '19). T.Y. Hilton and No. 34 overall pick Michael Pittman are expected to start on opposite boundaries.
