The Facts: Some observers around the NFL think the Bills could trade or cut McCoy according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Reported by the Redzone.org

Diehards Line: As theRedzone.org notes, The Bills signed veterans Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon as free agents this offseason and also seem high on rookie Devin Singletary, who they drafted in the third round out of Florida Atlantic. There may simply be no room left for McCoy. McCoy, coming off the worst season of his career, also has the highest salary by far of the group-he is scheduled to make $6.175 million in the final year of his current deal-and the Bills could save a lot of money by releasing him. Another possibility? McCoy rebounds and serves as Buffalo’s primary back all year. ... Stay tuned. August will be telling.

The Facts: The Eagles have announced that Sproles has signed a one-year contract to return to the team. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Originally a draft pick of the Chargers fourteen years ago, Sproles already has spent five years in Philadelphia. He missed most of the 2017 season with a torn ACL, and he appeared in only six games last season, along with both postseason games. Of course, as PFT notes, there’s no guarantee Sproles will make the roster in Philly. The Eagles have a crowded house at tailback, and Sproles (if he makes the final 53) possibly will at best be a role player.

The Facts: There’s been speculation about the health of Rams running back Todd Gurley‘s knee since last season, but HC Sean McVay says Gurley will prove he’s fine on the field. McVay told Jimmy Kimmel that Gurley has taken it slow this offseason because the Rams had a plan for keeping him healthy, and the expectation is that Gurley will be good to go. “He’s good. I think he’s feeling great,” McVay said of Gurley. “One of the things about Todd is, great competitor. I think he’s earned the right to be able to have the plan we had this offseason. I can’t wait to get him back going and I know he’s ready to go and it’s going to be fun for the Rams this year.” Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: As PFT suggests, the good news for the Rams is that they found last year that McVay’s offense works well without Gurley, as they had two blowout victories when Gurley missed the final two games of the regular season. The Rams’ offense should be great again no matter how Gurley’s knee is doing. For the rest of us, however, it will be all eye on Gurley throughout August.

The Facts: The Ravens’ first-round draft pick isn’t ready to go just yet. Brown has been placed on the Ravens’ on the non-football injury list to start camp. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Brown had Lisfranc surgery in February (Brown actually did suffer the foot injury playing football, but the non-football injury list also encompasses players who came into the offseason recovering from an injury suffered the previous season.) Brown isn’t the only rookie on the list: Ravens third-round linebacker Jaylon Ferguson fifth-round defensive tackle Daylon Mack and underafted wide receiver Jaylen Smith are also on the non-football injury list. As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, going on these lists at the start of camp often just means the player isn’t physically ready to complete a full practice as well as the team’s conditioning test. It’s not a reason to think they won’t be ready when the season starts.

The Facts: HC Vic Fangio said on Wednesday that the team would “obviously” ease Lindsay back to a full workload in training camp after Lindsay spent the offseason recovering from wrist surgery. Easing Lindsay in didn’t wind up looking too different from what the running back might have done without any recent injury history. He took the first rep of team drills and media members on hand for the session reported that he didn’t appear to have any limitations on the field. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: “He looked good,” Fangio told the team’s website. “He looked about like I thought he would — or about what I hoped he would, is probably a better phrase. He had a wrist injury — an unusual wrist injury — so he had his legs. [I] probably shouldn’t be surprised. He was champing at the bit to get out there. ...” The Broncos have Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker at running back as well, but they’ll be working for backup roles as long as Lindsay remains healthy.

The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... As Gordon's contract impasse reaches a week, the running back says that teammates and running backs around the league support him. Gordon said he gave some teammates a heads-up that he would threaten to hold out if he didn't get a new deal. "They're all behind me. They all got my back," Gordon told ESPN in a sit-down interview this week. "They all told me, 'You know what -- we don't really speak on contracts -- but you just go and do what's best for your family.' And I'm glad I got that support from them." Reported by ESPN.com

Diehards Line: Gordo is entering the final year of his rookie contract -- a fifth-year option worth $5.6 million. However, agent Fletcher Smith told ESPN's Adam Schefter last Thursday that without a new deal, Gordon will not report to training camp and will demand a trade. Gordon had expressed support for Le'Veon Bell's contract holdout last season. He said he is now getting encouragement from other running backs. "A lot of running backs have reached out to me just saying go out and get what you deserve," Gordon said. "A lot. A lot of starters. A lot, a lot of backs." Gordon reiterated what he said Saturday: that he wants to remain a Charger, and he wants fans to know that. "Just because we're going through contract issues right now doesn't mean I want to get traded," he said. "I love being a Charger. I don't want them to feel like I don't want to be there." The Chargers are scheduled to open training camp July 24 in Costa Mesa, California. ... Stay tuned.

The Facts: GM John Elway said at his press conference that Sanders, who tore his Achilles last year, would not be placed on the physically unable to perform list to open camp. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Sanders said on Tuesday that he would not be “full go” at the start of camp, but the fact he's not on PUP to start is obviously a positive. We'll be watching for more on his progress in coming weeks.

The Facts: Lindsay said earlier this week that he felt ready to practice after a wrist injury that required surgery, but that the team’s medical staff and coaches still needed to give him the green light. They apparently agreed with Lindsay because HC Vic Fangio said on Wednesday that Lindsay is “ready to go” for the first practice of camp. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Fangio said they’ll “obviously” ease Lindsay back to full speed. Fangio added that he expected things to move quickly with Lindsay once camp is fully up and running. Expect Lindsay to share time with Royce Freeman. We'll all be watching for indications of just how much sharing there will be in coming weeks.

The Facts: On the heels of a 1,059-yard season, Henry showed up for the offseason program in great shape, and ready to roll. In offseason interviews he brushed off questions about his December to remember, and put the focus on what’s ahead. So what will Henry do for an encore? Well, OC Arthur Smith said he intends to ride Henry, who is headed into the final year of his contract. Reported by TitansOnline.com

Diehards Line: In five games in the month of December, Henry’s rushing totals included 97 carries for 625 yards and eight touchdowns. Henry set a franchise record with 238 yards in a game vs. the Jaguars, and he piled up 170 yards a week later in a win over the Giants. His 625 yards were the most by any NFL player in any calendar month in 2018. That the team's official website is laying out the plan to ride him hard this season has to be encouraging to fantasy owners.
