Jason Smith - T - Rams

Rams GM Les Snead admits he's not sure if Jason Smith is the team's long-term answer at right tackle.

"But here's what I do know," Snead said. "You've got a really good offensive line coach (Paul Boudreau) who's proven he can make a unit's sum better than its parts. ... Long story short, I think (Smith's) going to have every chance to improve." Wishful thinking at its finest, though Smith's guaranteed $4 million salary ensures he'll get one more chance to prove himself as a starter.

Knowshon Moreno - RB - Broncos

Knowshon Moreno (ACL surgery) is participating in Broncos OTAs.

He appears to be ahead of schedule. Moreno had been discussed as a PUP candidate before the draft, following a November tear of his right ACL. Sliding down the depth chart, Moreno still has a fight ahead to crack the Broncos' 53.

Chris Cooley - TE - Redskins

Redskins TE Chris Cooley acknowledges contributing behind Fred Davis this season is "going to be a challenge."

Cooley also said that he trusts his troublesome left knee is healthy, and that he still wants to be "the guy" at tight end. It might be a not so subtle hint he's hoping for a trade. Due $3.8 million and set to count $6.23 million against the cap, it's more likely he is released.

Ty Warren - DL - Broncos

DT Ty Warren was absent for the beginning of Broncos OTAs on Monday.

As was unsigned franchise player K Matt Prater, LB D.J. Williams and second-round DT Derek Wolfe. Warren is refusing to take a pay-cut, while the suspended Williams was in court in relation to his lawsuit against the NFL. Rules bar Wolfe from attending until his senior year of college is officially over. Prater is skipping all offseason activities as he angles for a long-term deal.

Stephen Bowen - DL - Redskins

Redskins RE Stephen Bowen is recovering from an April left knee scope.

He's sitting out OTAs, but expects to be 100 percent in 2-4 weeks. Bowen suffered a third-degree right PCL tear last November, but says the operation "(wasn't) really" related. Bowen played through the injury, appearing in all 16 games. He's unlikely to participate in June's mandatory minicamp, but sounds like he'll be ready for training camp.

Titus Young - WR - Lions

MLive.com reports Titus Young has been barred from Lions OTAs after getting into a fight with FS Louis Delmas last week.

Uh-oh. Per beat writer Anwar Richardson, Young is not allowed back at Lions Park "until the team decides to have him back." Young flashed promise as a rookie deep threat, but continually struggled with bouts of immaturity and mental errors. In theory, Young should be given every opportunity to push Nate Burleson for the Lions' No. 2 job, but starting the year in the doghouse isn't going to help. Delmas is being allowed to attend OTAs, suggesting the altercation was entirely of Young's creation.

Matt Forte - RB - Bears

The Chicago Tribune reports there have been no signs of recent progress in contract talks between the Bears and unsigned franchise player Matt Forte.

Forte’s player rep was in Chicago last week, but isn't known to have talked with GM Phil Emery. The Tribune reported Sunday "it is believed" Forte was seeking a deal worth $8.5 million annually before the Eagles locked LeSean McCoy up at an annual rate of $9 million. It's quite possible Chicago is simply planning to force Forte to play under his $7.7 million tender.

Aaron Berry - DB - Lions

Aaron Berry worked as the first-team right cornerback as the Lions opened full-squad OTAs on Monday.

Chris Houston was at his customary left cornerback spot, with Jacob Lacey in the slot for nickel packages. Talented rookies Chris Greenwood and Dwight Bentley will push Berry at RCB, but he's the veteran in-house favorite. Berry's OTA participation also confirms he's recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.
