Steelers | Tyson Alualu the favorite to start at NT

Pittsburgh Steelers DL Tyson Alualu will be given the first opportunity to claim the starting job at nose tackle ahead of Daniel McCullers this summer, according to comments made by head coach Mike Tomlin.’Tyson is a veteran football player that has been here, knows how to play the game. He and Dan will start, but (Alualu will) probably take the first snap based on the things I have talked about based on current circumstances. We’ll go from there. We’ll have a hard-core plan but be light on our feet and ready to adjust based on what it is that we see,’ Tomlin told reporters.

Raiders | Nick O’Leary recovering from heart surgery

Las Vegas Raiders TE Nick O’Leary (heart) underwent two procedures last month after being diagnosed with 100 percent blockage on the right side of his heart. He is expected to make a full recovery and hopes to return to play in the 2021 season. ‘I feel good,’ O’Leary said. ‘I feel better than I did before. I’ve got to be on blood thinners for six months to a year. That’s really the only reason now why I can’t play football. If I (got cut), they said that would be the biggest problem, wouldn’t be able to stop the bleeding.’
