NFL | Myles Jack dealing with chondral defect
UCLA LB Myles Jack (knee) has a chondral defect in his right knee as a result of the injury he suffered in college, according to sources, but teams differ on how the condition will impact him going forward.
Footballguys View: Good ole Google describes a Chondral Defect as follows: A chondral knee injury is the result of articular cartilage damage within the knee. Articular cartilage is a specific connective tissue covering joint surfaces. Jack is likely a first-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, even with this mysterious condition on his knee.

Lions | Eric Ebron expects bigger role
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron said he hopes to become a safety net for QB Matthew Stafford in 2016 since WR Calvin Johnson decided to retire.
Footballguys View: Ebron is wise to predict a larger role on offense….now we’ll see if he can actually do something with a potential increased opportunity. He’s a talented tight end with the speed to take the top off the defense, but Ebron will likely be remembered as a player picked before Odell Beckham Jr. (Giants) than for anything he ever does in his pro career.

Jets | Darrelle Revis has pins removed

Browns | Derrick Henry a target of Browns?
Alabama RB Derrick Henry could be targeted by the Cleveland Browns with their No. 32 overall pick in the NFL Draft, according to Steve Doerschuk of the Canton Repository. Doerschuk views Henry as a potential upgrade over current RB Isaiah Crowell.
Footballguys View: The Browns moved down in the first round to assemble more picks. Their draft plan could include taking Henry at the top of the second round. He should be there as we only see one RB (Ezekiel Elliott) going off the board in the first. Henry reminds us of former Giants RB Brandon Jacobs. Like Jacobs, Henry is a tall/large back who has build up power and speed. He’s a two-down player, and that limits his value in the NFL and for fantasy owners.
