Redskins head coach Jay Gruden says Josh Doctson has "been impressive" at OTAs.

Doctson appears to be fully over his Achilles injury/issues that caused him to miss most of his rookie season. The injury is "pretty much nonexistent now." Gruden says Doctson is getting better each day. There is a prime opportunity for the second year wideout to make an impact, as DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon left in free agency. If he steps up, the Redskins might not miss a beat without Jackson and Garçon. Doctson has a chance to deliver good fantasy value this season as a late round pick.

The Browns and Eagles "have expressed some level of interest" in Jeremy Maclin, according to Mike Rodak.

Maclin is scheduled to visit Buffalo today, then Baltimore on Wednesday. The Browns and Eagles are reportedly also interested in Maclin, and there are sure to be other teams as well. Rodak says a decision is likely to come this week on where Maclin will sign with. If not this week, it'd almost certainly be by the end of next week.

Jeremy Maclin says the Chiefs "deserve better" from him.

Maclin said last season was not up to his standards, and that it's not about numbers. "I just… didn't play as well as I could have," Maclin said via The Kansas City Star. Maclin didn't seem himself at times last season, and battling a groin injury that caused him to miss four-plus games didn't help. Maclin got married just a few days ago, but he's committed to bouncing back and reported to OTAs when he could be at a honeymoon right now. As one of the most underrated players in the league, Maclin should bounce back this season.

Dennis Pitta suffered a dislocated hip, according to Mike Garafolo.

This was the fear and seemed to be the case, but Garafolo says doctors confirmed the hip was dislocated. This is obviously horrible news, and could mean the end of Pitta's career. His life after football has to seriously be taken into consideration, as this is his third bad hip injury in four years.

Dak Prescott is "faster and stronger" heading into this season.

According to the Star-Telegram, Prescott tested faster in the 20-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, and other measures. Prescott says he's been working hard to improve. QB coach Wade Wilson said Prescott improved his strength, flexibility, speed, and quickness. Prescott, of course, had an outstanding rookie season, throwing 23 touchdowns compared to just four interceptions. Prescott was already a mid-tier QB1 last season, so he should be a solid QB1, at least, this season.

Sean McVay says quarterback Jared Goff is "our guy."

Goff has reportedly looked great at OTAs so far, but McVay preaching competition at all positions including quarterback was used to fit the media narrative that Goff is a bust after one season. McVay says Goff has improved each day and is reportedly "spending almost every possible waking minute at the Rams' facility," according to ESPN. Goff has looked very good at OTAs, according to reports, and teammates have praised his progression from year one to year two. The Rams aren't going to hand Goff the job, but last year's number one overall pick is likely to start for the team this year.

Teddy Bridgewater participated on a limited basis in Vikings' OTAs today.

Bridgewater continues to rehab in his return from a bad knee injury, but he—while sporting a knee brace—looks to be moving pretty good. The video of Bridgewater dropping back and making some throws can be seen in the link below. Bridgewater is a highly-motivated individual, and he wants to get back on the field with his team. The presence of quarterback Sam Bradford, who played outstanding last season, complicates things. It's looking like Bridgewater will definitely be able to suit up at some point this season, maybe earlier than expected.
