Houston Texans QB Tom Savage is still considered the leading candidate for the starting No. 1 quarterback but will have to earn the job during training camp, according to head coach Bill O’Brien.

Footballguys View: Savage has the experience advantage over rookie DeShaun Watson. He’s a tall, strong-armed pocket passer with say-it-don’t-spray-it accuracy. Watson is simply the more exciting prospect here. He plays big in the biggest moments and is tough as nails. Watson is athletic, unafraid to challenge defenses and has quality weapons around him in the passing attack. Watson could win the starting job if he outperforms Savage in training camp and the preseason.

Houston Texans CB Kareem Jackson have been working at outside cornerback and at nickel back during offseason workouts. He also did not rule out the possibility of lining up at safety at some point this season.

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead said DT Aaron Donald is still a priority for the Rams but there is nothing new to report in terms of contract extension negotiations. Donald skipped all of the organized team activities because of his contract situation.

Footballguys View: He showed up to mandatory minicamp so as to not get fined. The Rams picked up Donald’s fifth-year option, so the team controls his rights for the next two seasons. Rather than wait, it would behoove the Rams to get an extension done with one of the best in the business.

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett (foot) was seen in a walking boot Friday, June 16, and has been in one since suffering his injury two days earlier. The Browns have yet to provide an update on his injury, but there is a chance one may be coming later Friday.

New York Jets QB Christian Hackenberg performed a ‘little better than expected’ in minicamp, and QB Josh McCown does not have an ‘insurmountable lead’ over him in the race to start Week 1. QB Bryce Petty is running third on the depth chart.

Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (shoulder) did not throw during minicamp, but his recovery from shoulder surgery is still on track. Head coach Ron Rivera said last week he expected Newton to throw, but clarified that statement this week.

Los Angeles Rams CB Trumaine Johnson will remain a candidate for a contract extension offer, but ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez believes general manager Les Snead sounds ‘noncommittal’ in regards to getting a deal done. Snead had previously expressed a desire to wait until after the offseason program concluded to make sure Johnson was a fit for new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ system that asks its cornerbacks to play a lot of man coverage.

Jacksonville Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey (undisclosed) underwent successful surgery Thursday, June 15, to repair a core muscle injury. He is expected to need six weeks to recover.

Detroit Lions S Glover Quin told the Detroit Free Press’ Dave Birkett he’s been in negotiations with the team about a long-term contract extension he hopes will get done before the start of the regular season.

New Orleans Saints OT Terron Armstead (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum Monday, June 19, according to sources. He is expected to need four to six months to recover.
