Jaguars CB Kevin Rutland suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Colts.

A reserve corner and special teamer, Rutland has three tackles through three games. He started four games in 2011. He's week-to-week.

Vikes to make 'strong run' at Desmond Bishop

The Vikings are expected to make a "strong run" at free agent ILB Desmond Bishop.

The Bears were also rumored to have interest in Bishop at one point, but have likely moved on after using a second-round pick on Jon Bostic. Bishop's addition would suck the life out of interim MLB Erin Henderson's prospective IDP value. After missing all of 2012 with a ruptured hamstring, Bishop insists he's 100 percent healed. The Vikings will make sure during their forthcoming physical.

Patriots 'don't know' when Gronk will return

ESPN's Ed Werder reported on SportsCenter Monday that the Patriots legitimately do not know when Rob Gronkowski will return from back surgery.

"The fact is the Patriots really don't know when he's gonna come back," Werder stated. The Pats will have a better feel once Gronk's back operation is performed Tuesday, but Werder reports Bill Belichick has prepared "many contingencies," and noted New England is currently carrying a league-high seven tight ends on its 90-man roster. Gronkowski will open camp on the PUP list, and we suspect he may stay there into the regular season.

Denver Post projects 75 catches for Welker

The Denver Post considers 75 catches the ideal number for Wes Welker and Eric Decker.

Reporter Mike Klis believes the "new balance" in the Broncos' passing attack needs to be Welker and Decker each snagging around 75 balls while Demaryius Thomas gets 85. Peyton Manning has never been a part of an offense where at least three players caught 75 passes, but Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon and Jacob Tamme all cleared 67 in 2010. Decker is the most obvious candidate to fall below 75 grabs, but if he does, it won't be by much. The projection is another reminder Welker's fantasy value is on the downswing in Denver.

Broyles fully expects to be ready for Week 1

Ryan Broyles (ACL surgery) fully expects to be ready for Week 1.

"I’m out there doing full practices right now so in a couple months I feel like I’ll be pretty good," Broyles said after minicamp. Broyles added he's going "full blast in the weight room." It would be a Peterson-esque recovery were Broyles to be ready for the regular season, but there's no reason to doubt him at the moment.

Foster: 'More than likely' I'm ready for camp

Arian Foster (calf) says he'll "more than likely" be ready for training camp.

It's notable because Foster is suggesting there's a chance he won't be ready for camp, even if it's a slight one. It was widely assumed when Foster went down in late May that he'd be 100 percent for camp, which is still over a month away. Foster has spent time in a hyperbaric chamber in an attempt to speed his recovery. It sounds like he would have missed multiple games were it the regular season. Foster has missed just three contests since 2010, but his increasing propensity for leg ailments is a concern going into his age-27 campaign.

Driver: I'm open to in-season Packers return

Retired WR Donald Driver suggested at the Packers' charity softball game Sunday that he'd be open to returning if Green Bay called this year.

Brett Favre's nine-year teammate apparently was not joking. "I think the thing for me is if the Packers call midseason, I’d be in shape," said 38-year-old Driver, who "officially" retired on January 31. "I’ve been staying in shape." Reporters didn't ask what Driver would do if the Jets or Vikings called.

Brian Quick ends Rams OTAs as No. 4 receiver

Second-year WR Brian Quick ended OTAs as the Rams' No. 4 receiver, behind Tavon Austin, Chris Givens, and Austin Pettis.

Annual t-shirt-and-shorts star Pettis spent the spring as the starting X receiver. Givens is the Z, and Austin will start in the slot. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch insists Quick's offseason was not necessarily a disappointment, "it's just that Pettis has been that impressive." Assured OC Brian Schottenheimer, "(Quick’s) doing a lot better. He’s stepped up this year. He’s just much more comfortable." Quick is competing directly with Pettis, who is an underwhelming possession receiver despite his big spring. The battle at X receiver will rage on into August.

'Strong possibility' Heath Miller misses Wk 1

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, there's a "strong possibility" Heath Miller (ACL, MCL, PCL surgery) won't be ready for Week 1.

In this scenario, blocker Matt Spaeth would be Pittsburgh's starting tight end. The Trib-Review calls Miller "out indefinitely," despite previous optimism he'd be ready for the opener. He didn't participate in any portions of OTAs. Miller suffered the three-ligament knee tear on December 23 and had reconstructive surgery on January 2. He should be viewed as a TE2 only in fantasy drafts.

Ronnie Hillman to be Broncos Week 1 starter?

The Colorado Springs Gazette predicts Ronnie Hillman will be the Broncos' Week 1 starting tailback, before Montee Ball passes him "by the end of September."

It's a notable item, but keep in mind beat writer Paul Klee is just guessing. Klee also expects to "see plenty of (Knowshon) Moreno" in what ostensibly would be a three-man rotation, "because he's their most reliable pass blocker." Certainly, the Broncos' lead back job will come down to pass protection, which is more important to Peyton Manning than any quarterback in the NFL. We still expect Ball to run away with the job if he demonstrates efficient blitz-pickup ability in August. Hillman is a change-of-pace scatback, and Moreno's talent is pedestrian at best.

Report: Willis McGahee cut due to poor health

The Colorado Springs-Gazette has it "on good authority" that the Broncos released Willis McGahee because he's not healthy.

Per beat writer Paul Klee, McGahee's poor health was "the No. 1 reason" he took reps sparingly at minicamp and was cut loose on Thursday. Asked if McGahee was released because he skipped OTAs, coach John Fox replied "That has nothing to do with it." McGahee tore his MCL and fractured his leg last season. If he's not 100 percent, he'll have a hard time finding work before training camp.

Santonio Holmes' Lisfranc fracture was severe

Santonio Holmes recently shed light on the details of his 2012 Lisfranc foot fracture, and it was of the most severe variety.

Holmes said the fracture was "grade four" in nature -- the most serious kind -- and included a muscle tear in addition to a joint separation in his mid-foot. Holmes required a followup surgery to remove a plate and screws from the foot in March, but two screws will stay in permanently. Holmes still can't run or cut, and his status for Week 1 is very much in question. ESPN New York's Rich Cimini suspects the Jets may have to add another receiver.
