Green Bay Packers WR Jordy Nelson (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee last year. ‘I’m not worried about him getting back to where he was. He’s way ahead of schedule. I’ve already talked to him, with this fifth preseason game, about how we play him in the preseason. He’ll work some in the OTAs, but I don’t see him having any limitations come training camp,’ head coach Mike McCarthy said.

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (Achilles’) is motivated and is doing well in his recover. ‘His salary is not a reason why we will cut Arian,’ Texans general manager Rick Smith said.

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent LB Chad Greenway has mutual interest in re-signing with the Vikings, and head coach Mike Zimmer wants him back. Greenway played about half of the snaps in the team’s base defense last season to preserve his health, and he could be in a starting or part-time role.

Free-agent RB Trent Richardson (Raiders) has agreed to a contract with the Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Feb. 25, pending a physical.

Denver Broncos impending free-agent LB Von Miller has had talks about a long-term deal, and there’s optimism that it gets done, according to sources.

Cleveland Browns impending free-agent WR Travis Benjamin continues to talk with the Browns about a new deal, according to general manager Sashi Brown.

Footballguys View: With the potential return of Josh Gordon, keeping Benjamin would make this passing offense a lot better. Of course, they need a quarterback to get them the ball, but a Gordon-Benjamin corps would be solid.

Cleveland Browns C Alex Mack opened extension talks with the team last week, according to executive vice president Sashi Brown. Brown said that if the team were to retain Mack, they would likely have to strike a deal before his March 4 opt-out clause date.

Footballguys View: Mack would see a lot of interest on the open market, but the Browns will do as much as they can to make this work. Mack is too valuable to the offensive line – and therefore the offense – to let him get away.

Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon is on the right path, and signs are pointing towards him being reinstated, according to general manager Sashi Brown. Brown also said there’s a spot on the roster for Gordon ‘if he’s doing the right things.’

Utah RB Devontae Booker (knee) is not working out at the NFL Scouting Combine.
