Bills rookie receiver Zay Jones is back and will fully participate in practice today.

Jones suffered a knee injury and was week-to-week, and it was unclear if he'd be back at any point during offseason training. It's a good sign he's back to 100% and can continue to acclimate to the offense as a rookie. Jones is battling with Andre Holmes and others for the number two receiver job opposite Sammy Watkins.

Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio "really excited" about Cordarrelle Patterson.

Del Rio says Patterson reported to the team "hungry" and that they are going to get him the ball in different ways. Patterson showed a lot last season when he got more regular playing time as a receiver in the Vikings' offense. Patterson is likely to be Oakland's number three receiver behind Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree this season, and he could be looking at a big breakout. He'll obviously be a big factor as a kick returner also.

Jeremy Maclin is still visiting the Bills.

Bills running back LeSean McCoy posted a video on Instagram saying that he's recruiting and a caption said "signing players daily." The Bills, who took Maclin to dinner last night, clearly want him on the team. We'll see if they allow him to leave Buffalo and go to his visit to Baltimore that was reportedly scheduled for today.

Demaryius Thomas is dealing with a "personal matter" and not in attendance at Broncos' OTAs today.

It's not a holdout of any sort. Hopefully everything is OK with Thomas and he can return to the team soon.

Sammy Watkins participated in individual drills on Tuesday.

Watkins is coming off his second foot surgery and is making progress in his return—he'll be a limited partcipant in practice today. The Bills' number one receiver should be ready for training camp and needs to stay healthy entering a contract year.

LeSean McCoy expects to catch a lot of passes in new offense.

McCoy said with new offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, the offense will get him the ball through the air. McCoy points to Arian Foster, who played with Dennison as his offensive coordinator with the Texans from 2010-2013. Foster was one of the biggest workhorses in the NFL during that time, including twice going over 600 yards through the air (which McCoy has never done). McCoy is set to be one of the true workhorses in the league, and he should get a bump in PPR leagues.

Odell Beckham Jr. not showing up to OTAs is "directly related" to his contract, according to Adam Schefter.

OBJ had his fifth-year option picked up after the Giants were coy about it (maybe because of his maturity issues). Beckham has performed like a top receiver in his three seasons in the NFL, and he probably wants to be paid like one. Because of the immaturity he's shown, however, it's unlikely the Giants give him a big contract extension before this season. The dynamic receiver has two years left on his deal, so the Giants don't have much incentive to start negotiating until next offseason. For the team's sake, hopefully Beckham shows up to mandatory minicamp, as he's expected to.
