The Falcons are signing Luke Stocker.

Stocker visited with Atlanta, and the team is bringing him back into the mix after he was with them last year. Stocker already knows Dirk Koetter’s offense and figures to contribute mostly as an extra blocker.

The Bills activated Cole Beasley (back) from the NFI list.

Beasley passed his physical and is good to go for Buffalo as training camp gets set to ramp up soon. The veteran receiver will form a strong trio with Stefon Diggs and John Brown for the Bills this year.

Le’Veon Bell says he’s the lightest he’s been since high school.

Bell told reporters that he’s currently in the 210-215-pound range and that he’ll play at the lightest weight he’s been at since high school football. The former All-Pro running back has been known for an exceptional work ethic (and extraordinarily low body fat percentages) since he’s been in the league, but it sounds like he might have taken things to an even higher level this offseason. Bell added, “I raised the level of my conditioning… I’m excited where I’m at.” There’s also talk today from Jets head coach Adam Gase that he doesn’t want to wear Bell down over 16 games but that he wants to give him more quality and efficient touches over the course of a season. Overall, Bell is a tough player to rank because he’s been a great player in the league and will be playing behind an improved offensive line, but the Jets might not take the step forward offensively and as a team to help him get back closer to the elite range of fantasy assets.

John Ross left Bengals camp, according to NFL Network.

Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero report that Ross “left camp to care for his young son after both the boy and the boy’s mother tested positive for COVID-19.” Ross is to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and there is no timetable for his return to the team and to the field. In a crowded receiving corps, this could hurt Ross’ chances of having a huge role for the Bengals in 2020, but he of course has more important things to deal with right now. We hope everyone turns out OK soon.

The Colts removed T.Y. Hilton from the NFI list.

Hilton is over his hamstring injury, which is great news early in camp before the action starts to ramp up and full practices with full speed work get underway. The veteran receiver is looking to stay healthy and have a big season in a contract year. Hilton has said he wants to only play for the Colts.

James O’Shaughnessy (knee) has been activated off the PUP list.

O’Shaughnessy didn’t miss too much key time while on the PUP, and he’ll rejoin his teammates for on-field work as things begin to ramp up in the coming days.

The Packers are signing Malik Turner.

Turner was able to average 16.3 yards per reception on 15 catches for the Seahawks last year, and now he’ll look to carve out a role in a Packers receiving corps that is relatively wide open behind elite No. 1 Davante Adams. Turner is someone to keep an eye on in deeper leagues in particular.
