Word earlier this week was that Stidham might need to have surgery after experiencing pain in his right shoulder and back while throwing the football. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Stidham did have back surgery on Friday. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

The injury leaves Cam Newton, Mac Jones, Brian Hoyer, and Jake Dolegala as the quarterbacks working on the field with the Patriots. A decision on the starting job for Week 1 is expected to come down to Newton and Jones and there might not be much of a role for Stidham in New England if one of them thrives in the coming weeks.

Wentz's first camp barely got off the ground before he suffered the foot injury, which Indianapolis initially hoped was minor, but appears to be growing more concerned about the seriousness of it. The hope is to avoid a surgical procedure, but if Wentz is required to undergo an operation, his time away from the field could stretch into the regular season. The latter scenario isn't expected to involve many games, Rapoport added. For now, the Colts are thankful the start of the season is six weeks away. But with Wentz still being new to the team, it seems he'll miss valuable training camp time due to the ailment, if not more. ... We'll follow up as further examinations yield additional information.

The Facts: Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are officially turning the page. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday, per an informed source, that both sides have agreed to the terms and language on his reworked deal, creating a path for the reigning MVP to sign ahead of the 2021 season. Reported by NFL.com

Diehards Line: NFL Network's Tom Pelissero outlined the latest regarding the deal's expected figures. "What we know, from my understanding, is that in 2021, Rodgers is still due the same number: $22 million," Pelissero explained. "Some of that is converted to a bonus which allows the Packers to free some up cap space this year. In 2022, still under contract for $25.5 million and, then the third and final year of his existing contract in 2023, now gets deleted. So, Rodgers under contract here for two more years, rather than three. ..." With his still-mending relationship with the organization seemingly in a good space, Rodgers enters his age-38 season in a unique position. He expressed during a candid and lengthy Wednesday media session a desire to stay in Green Bay moving forward but also noted that his contract will not grant him the right to decide where he'll suit up in 2022. Considering all that's happened and continues to happen around the team, it's possible that team brass could find themselves in another heated situation with Rodgers in six months, depending on how this season plays out. For now, Green Bay has bought itself more time to keep finding ways to make the future Hall of Famer happy while maintaining its Super Bowl contender status with him at the helm.

During his post-practice news conference, GM Howie Roseman argued that the Eagles are always involved in big-name trade talks, especially considering the number of draft picks they’ve accrued in the last few months. “One of the things that I always found kind of funny is whenever there’s a name being dangled about, the Eagles are kind of associated with that,” Roseman said. “I understand, because we have more high draft picks going forward, that’s probably going to be continual as players become available. But we drafted these guys for a reason. We’re really excited for the development of them.”

Adams addressed the media for the first team since reports emerged that he and the club had broken off long-term contract extension negotiations, signaling that the two were at odds over the All-Pro receiver's future with the franchise. Adams, who is entering a contract year and is slated to make around $16.8 million this season, wants to be the highest-paid receiver in the league. "I'm not gonna too far into details about the numbers and all of that stuff, but I like to say that I've outperformed my last contract or my current contract," Adams told reporters Wednesday. "I'm going to keep elevating. At the end of the day, however it pans out, it pans out that way and I'm going to think long and hard about how everything goes. At this point, like I said, I'm here for my teammates and I'm really excited to be back. I told you guys before -- I'm a man of my word and I'm ready to play." Reported by NFL.com

Adams added later: "I'm not a baby, so I'm not gonna not show up and I'm not complaining about it. At the end of the day, I'm not poor right now. I'll be OK to get through and go and try to win a Super Bowl again. That's my main focus now. The offseason was working out and trying to come to an agreement, but we weren't able to do that, so now it's kind of time to lock in."
