Baltimore Ravens C Matt Skura (knee) was able to pass the team’s conditioning test this week, according to his trainer Jay Johnson. Johnson said he is optimistic that Skura will be ready for training camp.

Tennessee Titans WR A.J. Brown recorded 646 receiving yards on play action passes during the 2019 season, which ranked first in the NFL.

Carolina Panthers LB Tahir Whitehead will initially be used at middle linebacker, according to defensive coordinator Phil Snow.

Denver Broncos TE Jeff Heuerman is expected to be on the roster bubble during training camp, in the opinion of The Denver Post’s Ryan O’Halloran.

Footballguys View: It’s going to be doubtful for Heuerman to make the final roster. The team added Nick Vannett in free agency and they selected Albert Okwuegbunam (college teammate of Drew Lock) in the 2020 NFL draft…and oh yeah, Noah Fant is the starter. The Broncos can save around $3.8 million against the cap if Heuerman is released.

Denver Broncos QB Brett Rypien is not expected to make the final roster but likely will be a practice squad option if he cleared waivers.

Footballguys View: Rypien looked like a camp arm last year. He’s a developmental quarterback the team could keep around on the PS. Drew Lock is the clear-cut starter and veteran Jeff Driskel was added this offseason to be his primary backup.

Atlanta Falcons S Keanu Neal (Achilles) said he is feeling good and is looking forward to returning to the field.

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (foot) said he expects to return to the field in 10 weeks.

Free-agent S Marqui Christian (Rams) has been suspended for the first two games of the 2020 season, according to a source.

Detroit Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (ankle) has been able to start running routes a part of his rehab but has not completely recovered from his ankle injury, according to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Footballguys View: The team likes where Hockenson is at in his recovery, he just has some more time to go. Hockenson is a fantastic talent but that ankle injury last November ended what was largely a disappointing rookie season (outside of Week 1) for the 2019 first-round pick. We’ll see how much he gets eased into action when training camp gets here.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has invited 20 of his teammates to participate in workouts in Dallas starting this weekend, according to sources. He invited three other quarterbacks, four running backs, nine receivers and four tight ends to the workouts.
