-- Russell Wilson Praises D.K. Metcalf --
Mon Jun 24, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
ESPN reports this spring, Seattle Seahawks rookie WR D.K. Metcalf was more than merely a physical specimen. QB Russell Wilson pointed to Metcalf's football knowledge when asked what about the rookie wide receiver has stood out most. "Everybody knows about his ability to run and everything else, and jump and catch and all that," Wilson said. "You guys have been talking about that for months, but I think more than anything else, it's his brain and how he processes information and how quickly he understands it. He's really intelligent. He really understands the game really well. He takes coaching really well. He gets extra work. He's a legit pro wide receiver. He's everything that everybody was talking about in terms of what he's capable of and more."
-- Tyreek Hill Could be Suspended as Early as July --
Mon Jun 24, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
The Athletic reports the Kansas City Chiefs believe WR Tyreek Hill could be suspended by the NFL as soon as next month. The Chiefs barred Hill from offseason activities in the wake of child abuse allegations, though barring further evidence, it appears that he will avoid criminal charges. While the expectation is that Hill will be reinstated ahead of July's training camp, a suspension for violating the league's code of conduct remains a distinct possibility. He could be facing a punishment similar to the eight-game suspension that RB Kareem Hunt received for a domestic violence incident last year.
-- Reich Speaks on Funchess --
Sun Jun 23, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
1070theFan.comn reports new Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess only worked with QB Jacoby Brissett this spring due to a calf injury by QB Andrew Luck. The spring results were mixed, at best, in the handful of open media sessions during OTAs and mini-camp. Funchess and Brissett often struggled to sync up when it came to targets/receptions. But HC Frank Reich, who saw these two work together for double the amount of practice time that the media did, doesn't seem worried. "Very encouraged," Reich said of what he saw from Funchess this spring. "We knew right away, you could tell day one that he was smart. (He was) not going to have a problem grasping the system. Then it's just a question of getting used to the way we do things, the way we teach things and then our schemes. I just thought he showed a very high aptitude for that. Then really as a route runner, for a big guy for his size we've said he's got good feet and he's got good body control. So I was just really encouraged by his progress."

-- Marvin Jones Watch --
Sat Jun 22, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
The Detroit Free Press reports WR Marvin Jones' (knee) future with the Lions has been the subject of much speculation since the team shut him down with a knee injury shortly after he took to social media to complain about Lions HC Matt Patricia's policy of having injured players watch from a suite instead of on the field. Jones, of course, was dealing with a serious injury that required surgery, but that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't seem long for a Patricia-coached team that has moved on from other players who aren't yes-sir-I'll-do-whatever-you-say types, most notably WR Golden Tate. Jones has two years left on his contract at very reasonable salaries of $6.5 million per season. The Lions would be foolish to move on from him right now. He provides more than most players at his salary, and it's not like there are suitable replacements out there. Jones spent all spring working with the rehab group and the expectation is to have a strong season this fall. One can't imagine the Lions moving on from him at this point, unless we hit October and they're struggling to keep their head above water. If that happens, all bets are off.

-- Quinn: Devonta Freeman Looks Like Himself --
Fri Jun 21, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
The Atlanta Falcons official website reports HC Dan Quinn was impressed by RB Devonta Freeman this spring. "He was another one who had so much to prove and to get back out on the field and to recapture his energy and style so quickly. I was very happy to see that. He looks so much like himself. For him coming back off an injury, it takes a lot of physical toughness and it takes a lot of mental toughness. He's shown a lot of mental toughness during this rehab process."

However, it's possible that his career is over.

I still have to be the receiving back, come in be the change of pace back, running the ball, be that speedy guy. I'm just prepared for anything however I get the ball."

Thu Jun 20, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com

"We would love for him to take some reps, but obviously his health is more important right now than anything, and that is the most important thing for him," Gruden said of McCoy. "When his time comes it will come quickly. He will be ready."

Nkemdiche had a warrant out for his arrest for driving on a suspended license and failing to appear for a court hearing.

Police, however, did not test the substance and instead, it was impounded for destruction with Nkemdiche's consent. "Based on the totality of the circumstances, it was decided not to pursue testing of the credit card holder in lieu of impending the item for destruction with Robert's cooperation," the police report stated.
