The Facts: Eifert, who is coming off back surgery, participated to a degree in this past wseek's OTAs as he had to watch the 11-on-11 work from behind the line of scrimmage. But he insists it’s about following protocol and there have been no setbacks in his recovery. “I feel good. I’m on schedule,” Eifert said. “This has been part of the plan to stay monitored as we progress through here. I don’t want to go out there and have any setbacks or anything, so just methodically moving forward. The plan is to go into camp full speed but there’s nothing keeping me back from doing that right now. It’s part of the plan, or progression.”

Diehards Line: This is one to watch. Eifert has played just 10 games in the last two seasons and health has been a big issue throughout his career. How big an issue? He's only been on the field for 39 of a possible 80 games since he entered the league. That includes fewer than three games two of the past four years. But there is no shortage of upside. As ESPN.com's Mike Clay recently reminded readers, Eifert missed three games in 2015, but still led tight ends in the league with 13 touchdowns. He missed eight games in 2016, but scored five touchdowns and ranked seventh at the position in fantasy points per game. So yes. Durability a major concern, but if he appears to be healthy and ready to roll for Week 1, he merits attention on draft day as the likely price makes the potential rewards appealing.
