Giants | Odell Beckham absent Thursday

New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. was absent from voluntary workouts again Thursday, May 25.

Footballguys View: He’s very busy hanging out with Johnny Manziel and signing Nike contracts. Listen, Beckham Jr has the timing with Eli Manning down. Skipping OTAs won’t hurt that. But the optics are less than awesome considering our last two impressions of him were 1) a boat trip right before a 2) playoff game he was terrible in. We hope Beckham Jr has grown up as his talent is undeniable and the only thing stopping him is himself.

Redskins | Josh Doctson impressing

Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson (Achilles’) has been impressive in organized team activities, according to head coach Jay Gruden. ‘The big thing for him is the confidence in his Achilles’, and I think he’s got that right now,’ Gruden said. ‘The past two days he’s looked better and better. It looks like he can run down the field. He made a good catch down the sideline today and (he has) strong hands, we know that about him.’

Footballguys View: Doctson had tweeted out he was close to 100 percent back in March, so this is continued good news. A lot of folks thought he was the best receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft, but his Achilles injury hurt his draft stock. With DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon gone, Doctson only has Terrelle Pryor to jump over for a significant amount of targets. He’ll start behind Jordan Reed and Jamison Crowder, but that can change with a solid preseason.

Titans | Marcus Mariota participating

Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota (leg) took part in the first 10 organized team activities Tuesday, May 23. He did everything in the walkthrough, individual drills and in 7-on-7 drills. “It felt great,” Mariota said after practice. ‘Four months ago I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to participate in OTAs, and being able to do some of the drills,’ Mariota said. ‘I was very happy and very grateful. It was fun to be out there with the guys, and I enjoyed it.’
