RB Perkins has pectoral injury, arm in sling

Paul Perkins is dealing with a pectoral injury and was spotted with his left arm in a sling at Giants minicamp.

Perkins apparently suffered the injury training on his own. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined, though pectoral injuries can be 6-8 month affairs. Coming off a disappointing, injury-marred sophomore campaign, Perkins was already behind the eight ball when it came to earning 2018 work.

Rams exercise Gurley and Peters' option years

Rams exercised RB Todd Gurley's fifth-year team option for 2019.

After contending for the league's MVP award last season, Gurley is now set to make roughly $9.63 million in what will be the final year of his rookie contract in 2019. A prodigious talent freed from Jeff Fisher's anti-offense, 24-year-old (in August) Gurley should have another monster campaign in 2018.

Andrew Luck not throwing at veteran minicamp

Andrew Luck (shoulder) is not throwing at veteran minicamp.

"Not even to play catch during warmups," were the words of reporter George Bremer. It's hardly a surprise — GM Chris Ballard said four days ago Luck wasn't throwing — but is still notable. Luck hasn't thrown a live pass — exhibition or otherwise — since Jan. 1, 2017, which was 478 days ago. He turned 28 in the interim and turns 29 in September.

Shurmur: Beckham 'absolutely' w/NYG in 2018

Giants coach Pat Shurmur said Odell Beckham will "absolutely" be with the team in 2018.

Everything suggests the Giants had real discussions about moving Beckham this offseason, but that possibility was all but put to bed when the Rams traded for Brandin Cooks. There has not been any indication the two sides have made progress on a long-term contract, but Beckham has shown good faith by reporting for the voluntary portions of the offseason program.

Mike Williams says he feels '100 percent'

Mike Williams (back) said he feels "100 percent."

The No. 7 overall pick last year, Williams tweaked his back in rookie minicamp and never really recovered, catching a grand total of 11 passes in 10 games. He is healthy now, however, and out to prove he is not a bust. "I’m excited about this year to not only prove to everybody else, but prove to myself that I know who I am and what I can be," Williams said. "I’m looking to redeem myself and show everyone what I’m capable of doing." The sophomore will compete with Tyrell Williams for targets behind Keenan Allen.

NYG have had trade talks about Ereck Flowers

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Giants have had trade talks about OT Ereck Flowers.

After being replaced in free agency, Flowers has been a no-show for the offseason program to this point. His time with the Giants seems up, and it would not be surprising to see him moved this weekend during the draft. If he sticks around, Flowers is expected to compete for the right tackle job.

Baker Mayfield 'definitely' in play at No. 1

ESPN's Adam Schefter was told Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield is "definitely" in the running to be the No. 1 overall pick.

The Browns are keeping their cards close to the vest, so it is tough to tell what they will ultimately do with the first pick. They have been strongly linked with USC QB Sam Darnold, Wyoming QB Josh Allen, and now Mayfield, who Browns consultant Scot McCloughan has banged the drum for since last year. Even if Mayfield is not taken No. 1, he is expected to come off the board in the first five picks, with the Jets strong suitors at No. 3.

Sony Michel could slip for medical reasons

On his GM Street podcast, The Ringer's Mike Lombardi suggested Georgia RB Sony Michel could slip in the draft for medical reasons.

"There's a lot of teams telling me there's a medical concern here, so he could slip a little bit," said Lombardi, a longtime NFL executive who most recently worked for the Patriots. "His medical grade is a little iffy." Lombardi admitted he doesn't know exactly what the medical issue is. On tape, Michel is arguably the second-best running back in this class behind only Saquon Barkley.

GF of Cowboys DT Irving retracts allegations

The girlfriend of Cowboys DT David Irving has retracted domestic violence allegations she made against him.

Frisco (TX) police took the girlfriend's allegations seriously enough to launch an investigation, which will likely continue despite the woman's retraction. "I was very upset and made some allegations that were false," the woman clarified on Monday. "David did not put his hands on me at any time." Irving already has a checkered off-field history and is playing 2018 on a one-year tender.

Jets expected to pick between Mayfield, Rosen

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini expects the Jets to decide between Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen at the No. 3 overall pick.

Conventional pre-draft wisdom is that the Jets are zeroed in on Mayfield, but Cimini passes along "some support" for Rosen inside the organization. The Jets likely have similar grades on Mayfield, Rosen, and Sam Darnold, explaining why they were comfortable moving up to No. 3 in the draft. They'll simply take whichever quarterback falls. With Darnold expected to be drafted at No. 1 and Saquon Barkley favored to go to the Giants at No. 2, Gang Green's decision will likely come down to Mayfield-versus-Rosen.

Cowboys see Vander Esch as next Urlacher

Per NFL Network's Jane Slater, the Cowboys envision Boise State LB Leighton Vander Esch as "(Brian) Urlacher 2.0."

It's an aggressive comparison to the first-ballot Hall of Famer, but not an uncommon one. NFL draft insider Tony Pauline passed along rumors Vander Esch was drawing Urlacher comparisons from scouts shortly after the college season. In addition to wide receiver, the Cowboys have a big need at linebacker. They want to keep Sean Lee on the weak side, move Jaylon Smith to the strong side, and find a true three-down "Mike."
