Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (wrist) was able to participate in practice Wednesday, June 12. He had been dealing with a wrist ailment.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Carlos Hyde is listed as the backup to RB Damien Williams, but he has been busy at minicamp, lining up along with Williams in the teams backfield on occasion. He has been used as a receiver. ‘For a running back like me who likes to catch the ball, it would be like a dream come true,’ Hyde said Wednesday, June 12.

Green Bay Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling feels confident he’ll flourish in the team’s new offense. ‘It’s built for my kind of player. I’m a vertical guy, I can stretch the field,’ Valdes-Scantling said.

Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (shoulder) is using a new throwing motion in hopes of preserving his shoulder for the long haul. ‘Making him a little more compact in his upper body. A little more closed off, just so he’s not as open throwing the ball. And just to make him as efficient as possible and putting the least amount of stress possible,’ quarterbacks coach Scott Turner said Wednesday, June 12.

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (hamstring) could be used more as a deep threat this season following the departure of WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Browns). Last season head coach Pat Shurmur set Engram out in motion, and even used him a few times to rush the ball. He has been sidelined due to a hamstring pull during offseason workouts.

Seattle Seahawks S Bradley McDougald (knee) said he will be ready for the start of training camp. He said he underwent surgery earlier this offseason to repair a partially torn patellar.

Carolina Panthers WR Mose Frazier (undisclosed) was released from the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, June 12, after the two sides agreed to an injury settlement.

Los Angeles Chargers second-round draft choice S Nasir Adderley signed a four-year contract with the Chargers Wednesday, June 12. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Philip Rivers is not expected to receive a lot of snaps in the preseason and could sit out the entire preseason to make sure he is ready for the regular season.

Footballguys View: The Chargers don’t need to see Rivers much if at all during the exhibition portion of the summer. They are in a Super Bowl window so long as Rivers is their quarterback. We should see Tyrod Taylor get plenty of work and the Chargers want to see a lot of rookie quarterback Easton Stick too.

Kansas City Chiefs CB Jalin Burrell was waived Wednesday, June 12.
