Vikings GM Rick Spielman says Teddy Bridgewater is very limited in what he can do and has a doctor's appointment today.

Spielman said Bridgewater can do dropbacks and handoffs, but not real practice yet. He wouldn't say if Bridgewater is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Perhaps the doctor's appointment today will be about whether or not Bridgewater can increase his activity level. It's still a great sign that Bridgewater was on the field throwing some passes yesterday, considering people weren't sure he would be able to play again after his devastating injury last year.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson envisions Jordan Matthews staying in the slot.

Through three seasons, Matthews has played almost all of his snaps from the slot. Through two coaching regimes, they both have seen him as a better fit inside than outside. Matthews is locked in as the Eagles' slot receiver, with Alshon Jeffery as a starter on the outside and we anticipate Nelson Agholor beating out Torrey Smith for the other starting role. Matthews should be a high floor, low upside option this season.

Titans offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie said the team "will find ways to use" both DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry.

Robiskie said he was very happy with Henry's play as a rookie last season, and pointed out the Kansas City game when he had nine carries for 58 yards and two touchdowns. The Titans are also happy with Henry's work ethic while he was finishing his degree at Alabama (which isn't a surprise for Henry, who obviously has no issue with working out). Earlier this offseason, it was indicated that Murray would still be a workhorse, but Henry will also get his touches. The team was a run-oriented offense last season, but they might rely on Marcus Mariota's arm more this season after they added some more weapons for him. Both backs should get enough touches though. Murray should be a solid RB1 once again, while Henry will likely be a boom/bust FLEX option in standard leagues to start the season.

Odell Beckham Jr. will show up to Giants' OTAs on Thursday, according to Jordan Raanan.

According to Instagram, Beckham was working out with his trainer yesterday. The Giants probably would have liked to have their star receiver with the team, but it looks like they'll get him back on Thursday.

Texans receiver Braxton Miller says he is "bugging" assistant receivers coach Wes Welker.

Miller is really trying to pick Welker's brain and is "asking all types of questions." Welker, of course, was a very productive slot receiver with the Patriots, where O'Brien was receivers coach, then QB coach, then offensive coordinator. In 2011, when O'Brien was the OC for New England, Welker had his best statistical season, putting up 122 receptions for 1,569 yards, and nine touchdowns. Miller says he's playing the same role Welker used to play. Miller has extraordinary athleticism, and he is entering only his third year playing receiver (remember, he played only his final season at Ohio State as a receiver). Miller offers a lot of upside for the Texans as a potential premiere slot receiver.

Jared Goff is picking up the new Rams offense quickly.

Goff said he's having an easier time with this offense than he did with the offense last season. There has been a lot of positive talk of Goff this offseason, and it's looking like new head coach Sean McVay will make things much better for Goff in his second season. Goff is also showing great leadership, according to teammates like Todd Gurley. Last year's number one overall pick has major potential to take positive steps forward this season.

Latavius Murray says "the goal is just to try to be available during training camp at some point," the Pioneer Press reports.

Murray said he's not going to rush it and says there have been no delays or setbacks, but it's not overly optimistic—it sounds like there might be a chance he's not available during training camp. Murray isn't running yet, but he's doing work in a pool. Murray is probably falling behind a bit, as he's entering a new offense on a new team. Jerick McKinnon and Dalvin Cook will get most of the reps while Murray is out. Murray will have a role for the season, but it might not be a workhorse-type role considering the missed time and the presence of McKinnon and Cook.
