Player News
Broncos signed second-round pick RB RJ Harvey to a four-year contract.
Mike Williams retired after eight seasons in the NFL.
The Chargers drafted Williams with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He spent his first seven seasons with the team before being released during the 2024 offseason. He had torn an ACL six months earlier, in September 2023. Williams spent the 2024 season playing for the Jets and later the Steelers, before ultimately finding his way back to the Chargers this offseason. He retires having caught 330-of-524 targets for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. Williams was known as one of the NFL’s premier jump-ball wide receivers in his prime.
Anthony Richardson (shoulder) has resumed throwing.
The Colts’ first training camp practice takes place on July 23rd. Fox 59’s Mike Chappell reports it remains to be seen whether Richardson will be “ready for a normal workload” next Wednesday, noting that head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated that Richardson will be eased into throwing. ESPN’s adds that Richardson “has been in Florida for weeks working with his personal coaches throwing the ball with velocity.” The Colts are hoping Richardson will be able to compete for the starting job sooner rather than later. As things currently stand, Daniel Jones appears to be the safer bet to start in Week 1, but this is an important first step for Richardson.
Jordan Addison’s agent, Tim Younger, announced that Addison has decided to plead guilty to a “lesser included vehicular offense.”
Addison’s guilty plea is an informal term known as “wet reckless.” Per , wet reckless varies state to state and is used when an individual charged with a DUI offense pleads down to a reckless driving offense. The plea removes alcohol-related charges while acknowledging that they were initially present. Per Younger, “Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses after which we expect that his probation will be terminated early in six months.” ESPN’s Kevin Seifert outlines the next step for Addison, writing, “now we will see how the NFL reacts.” A 2025 suspension is still possible.
Chargers placed Najee Harris (eye) on the active/non-football injury list.
Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said he expected this to happen, but the news is now official. Per head coach Jim Harbaugh, Harris is at the team facilities this week. Harris can be activated whenever, so this move doesn’t necessarily mean he will miss any time during the season. Harris suffered an eye injury in a fireworks incident over July 4th weekend. It was initially reported to be “superficial”, but the fact that he is being held out of practice to start training camp suggests it’s a little more serious than we were led to believe. While he is out, first-round rookie Omarion Hampton will get the bulk of the first-team reps, giving him the chance to leave Harris in the dust as the clear starter before the season even begins.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rashee Rice has been sentenced to “five years probation and 30 days of jail time that can be served during those five years stemming from his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas.”
As Schefter notes, the NFL can now ramp up its disciplinary process for Rice. That is all but guaranteed to result in a multi-game suspension, though the exact length is unclear. The legal issue appeared to be one for Rice to deal with in 2026, but the suspension is likely going to come down in the 2025 season at this point, hamstringing Rice’s fantasy value as he looks to return from the season-ending knee injury he suffered last year. That will also give Xavier Worthy a path to cement himself as the team’s primary underneath option while Rice is sidelined. Worthy struggled as a deep threat in 2024 but made progress over the second half of the season as the Chiefs transitioned him to a YAC-focused role.
