Seattle Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise runs routes like a receiver, according to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com, and Kapadia called Prosise ‘the biggest mismatch player’ on Seattle’s offense.

Los Angeles Rams WR Mike Thomas has ‘found a role for himself,’ according to QB Jared Goff. ‘He’s one of our faster receivers and can stretch the defense,’ Goff said. ‘I think he enjoys that role and understands that he’s going to be an over-the-top guy.’

New York Jets QB Christian Hackenberg made some strides during minicamp, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post, and Costello believes Hackenberg could beat out QB Josh McCown to be the Week 1 starter.

Footballguys View: Sounds like Hackenberg is hitting fewer reporters on the sidelines during Jets mandatory minicamp. The Jets are tanking and the best way to get into a top pick in next year’s draft is to start Hackenberg. Sam Darnold (USC) or Josh Allen (Wyoming) should get used to the idea of playing for the Jets.

Detroit Lions OT Taylor Decker (shoulder) is recovering from his shoulder surgery, but general manager Bob Quinn said he does not want to put a timetable on Decker’s return.

Footballguys View: The original timetable was thought to be 4-6 months. This report could perhaps mean it would be longer for the second-year tackle. The Lions have strengthened their offensive line this offseason through free agency, but losing their starting left tackle is going to sting. New additions Greg Robinson and Cyrus Kouandjio will compete for that spot while Decker is out.

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn said the team is working on an extension for QB Matthew Stafford and hopes to have news on the situation later in the summer.

Footballguys View: Stafford is set to hit the open market in 2018, but we don’t see that happening. Earlier reports have indicated that Stafford is in no hurry, and his camp may wait until Derek Carr (Raiders) gets his new deal before signing. When all is said and done, expect Stafford to be one of the highest paid players at his position.
