Martavis Bryant says he knows this is his "last chance."

Bryant, after being suspended all of last season and needing conditional terms to even be reinstated to play again, realizes if he messes up again, he might never play another snap in the NFL. Bryant says he put the right people around him to stay out of trouble. He faces multiple drug tests per week in addition to counseling. There is no excuse for Bryant to slip up again. Bryant will be a huge addition to the Steelers this season.

The Colts signed running back Christine Michael.

Michael was released by the Packers a month ago, despite re-signing with the team after the season. Now, the Colts will add him to the backfield mix behind Frank Gore. Robert Turbin will be the top backup to Gore, but Michael can provide some juice off the bench. Indy did also draft Marlon Mack in the fourth round, so Michael will need to fight for a roster spot as a fourth running back. He has the talent to contribute for the Colts.

Laquon Treadwell is working with the first team offense in three wide receiver sets during Vikings' OTAs.

Treadwell was a first round pick last year, but only had one reception for 15 yards. Treadwell dealt with leg injuries (hamstring and ankle) last season, so hopefully he's fully healthy and ready to make an impact in his second season. The Vikings also brought in free agent receiver Michael Floyd, so they're deep at receiver. But Treadwell should have every opportunity to be a starter for the Vikings this year.

Ron Rivera says of receiver Devin Funchess, "we could've used him better."

Funchess was a semi-popular breakout pick last season, but he saw a drop in production and caught 23 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns. Rivera says the team realizes "how much more" they can use Funchess, with his size and speed. Cam Newton isn't opposed to giving his receivers a chance to make a play, and it sounds like he should get more opportunities this season. The team did add skill players Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel this offseason, but they lost Ted Ginn. Some receivers tend to break out in their third seasons, so Funchess will be a popular third-year breakout pick this year. He's worth a shot late in fantasy drafts.

Free agent receiver Rod Streater is visiting the Bills, according to Adam Schefter.

Streater had a fast start to his career, putting up 888 yards in his second season in the league, but he hasn't done much since his stress fracture in his foot from 2014. Streater was with the Niners last season. He's only 29 and will find a team before the season.

Lions running back Ameer Abdullah's foot injury from last season was a Lisfranc injury.

Abdullah spoke on "The Carriker Chronicles" podcast and via ESPN said "I ended up tearing my Lisfranc the second game of the season against the Tennessee Titans, separating my foot, so that was a bummer for me." A Lisfranc injury is a serious one. Abdullah had surgery and is fully participating in OTAs with the team, so that's a good sign. Abdullah will be the Lions' starter this season.

Ezekiell Elliott was a passenger in a car accident on Sunday, according to Adam Schefter and Todd Archer.

Elliott hasn't participated in OTAs because of the accident. He didn't suffer any major injuries in the accident, but the Cowboys are giving him time off after the accident. This missed time won't affect Elliott this season. He'll be among the best backs in the league again in his second season. It's great news that no major injuries seem to have occurred from the incident.
