Jacksonville Jaguars TE Nic Jacobs (hand) suffered a hairline fracture in his left hand May 2 while hitting a blocking sled. He will be in a cast until next week. Jacobs has felt a different during practice because of his weight loss, though, as he shed 15 pounds after playing at 290 pounds last season. He said he feels a lot quicker and more explosive with increased acceleration.

New York Jets QB Geno Smith is currently slated to start at quarterback with free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) still not re-signed. Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, however, said the Jets are comfortable with whoever wins the starting job.

New York Jets RB Matt Forte could line up as a wide receiver in 2016. Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey said the Jets need to adjust their system to make fit Forte, including lining him up wide or in the slot at times.

Houston Texans QB Tom Savage (shoulder) said he is healthy and ready to compete for the backup quarterback job, and he delivered the ball with zip and accuracy during the first week of OTAs.

Miami Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant has impressed teammates with his speed and agility and has been given the nickname ‘Mighty Mouse.’ He is the frontrunner to return kicks and punts, and head coach Adam Gase says he plans to incorporate him into the offense.

Baltimore Ravens WR Breshad Perriman said the injury that kept him out all of last season made him a better person and a better player.

Cleveland Browns RB Isaiah Crowell and RB Duke Johnson will lead a smash-mouth, run-first offense, according to running backs coach Kirby Wilson.

Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman is a candidate to return punts and kicks in his rookie season because of his great speed, short-area quickness and ability to make defenders miss, according to special teams coordinator Chris Tabor.

Washington Redskins RB Matt Jones ranked 45th among running backs last season in yards after contact (1.44). He did improve in that area later in the season, averaging 1.68 yards after contact in the second half of the season.

Footballguys View: Jones is not quite “motorboat” worthy as a power back. Smaller backs like Ameer Abdullah (28th, 1.7), Ronnie Hillman (30th, 1.65) and Duke Johnson Jr. (32nd, 1.62) rank well above Jones. The league average for yards after contact per rush is 1.82 yards, so Jones clearly has a ton of room for improvement. By comparison, Thomas Rawls led the league with an average of 2.68 yards after contact per rush.
