Brandon Barden - TE - Titans

Titans TE Brandon Barden's DUI charges have been dismissed.

The arresting officer in the case failed to appear in court, meaning the case is now completely closed. Barden will try to crack the active roster this season after spending most of last year on the practice squad.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Giants re-signed WR Ramses Barden.

Barden found no suitors on the open market, so he comes crawling back to the team he expected to move on from. The 2009 third-round pick went off for nine catches and 138 yards in a Week 3 Thursday night game at Carolina last year, but has still totaled just 29 catches for 394 yards and no touchdowns in the NFL. Barden won't push the exciting Rueben Randle for No. 3 wideout duties.

Delone Carter - RB - Colts

Delone Carter recently underwent shoulder surgery.

Carter tumbled down the depth chart last season, getting just 32 carries in 10 games before an ankle injury landed him on the inactive list. The extent of this surgery is unclear, but he won't have a good shot at carries this year either. Both Vick Ballard and Donald Brown are back.

Michael Crabtree - WR - 49ers

Updating a previous item, coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed Michael Crabtree's Achilles' tendon was "completely torn" during Tuesday's OTA practice, and the injury was to Crabtree's right Achilles'.

So this wasn't a partial tear like Terrell Suggs' April 2012 Achilles' injury. For bookkeeping, we like to know which side of Crabtree's body was injured, the full extent of the injury, and all dates associated with his recovery, in order to provide accurate timelines in the future. Crabtree underwent surgery on Wednesday, May 22. Per Harbaugh, the full Achilles' tear occurred when Crabtree was "coming in motion and just planted and started a route, and it felt like someone kicked him in the Achilles'." The 49ers hope to have Crabtree back around Week 12.

Sanders Commings - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs agreed to terms with No. 134 overall pick CB Sanders Commings on a four-year contract.

A true press-man corner that ran a 4.41 at the Combine, Commings will learn at the foot of a talented group in Kansas City. Brandon Flowers, Dunta Robinson and Sean Smith are locked in as the top-three corners.

Terry Hawthorne - DB - Steelers

Steelers signed No. 150 overall pick CB Terry Hawthorne to a four-year contract.

At 6'0/195 with 4.44 wheels and an ability to hit, Hawthorne has the tools to contribute down the line. For now, he'll try to carve out a spot on special teams while backing up Ike Taylor, Cortez Allen and William Gay.

Markus Wheaton - WR - Steelers

Steelers signed No. 79 overall pick WR Markus Wheaton to a four-year contract.

A versatile and lightning fast prospect, Wheaton will battle veteran Jerricho Cotchery for the No. 3 job. He's getting a slow start as Oregon State's late graduation has kept him out of OTAs, but has the raw talent to eventually win the gig. Wheaton could be in for a significantly bigger role in 2014 as Emmanuel Sanders will be an unrestricted free agent.

Fred Davis - TE - Redskins

Fred Davis (Achilles') was catching passes and running routes as the Redskins opened OTAs Thursday.

Like Robert Griffin III (knee), Davis was not in uniform and worked off to the side. It's still encouraging to see him pivoting and moving well seven months after blowing out his heel. Beat writer Chris Russell said Davis "looks better than I thought." The pass-catching tight end says he's at 90 percent now and expects to be 100 percent by June's minicamps.

Robert Griffin III - QB - Redskins

Robert Griffin III (knee) was throwing passes as the Redskins opened OTAs Thursday.

Griffin worked off to the side with other Redskins rehabbing from surgery. He dropped back, planted his leg and didn't appear to have any trouble moving or throwing. For a player not even five months removed from reconstructive surgery, it's impressive. All the whispers that Griffin is ahead of schedule appear to have merit.

James Casey - TE - Eagles

Eagles TE/H-back James Casey underwent arthroscopic surgery to clean out loose cartilage in his right knee.

Casey, who signed a three-year, $12M contract in March, will miss the rest of spring workouts. He is expected to be ready for training camp. It's a setback for a player trying to learn Chip Kelly's offense and competing for snaps with both Brent Celek and rookie Zach Ertz. Casey was barely on the TE2 radar anyway.

Hakeem Nicks - WR - Giants

Updating a previous item, Yahoo's Jason Cole now says Hakeem Nicks did not skip Wednesday's OTAs as a contractual protest.

This situation could get cleared up quickly if Nicks' camp would just say why he hasn't shown up. Instead, his agent has strongly denied the absence is contract related, but won't offer any more details. Nicks was in New York as of Tuesday night, so perhaps he'll show up this week to explain. He doesn't have much leverage after posting an injury-plagued 53/692/2 line last season.

Matt Flynn - QB - Raiders

Matt Flynn has restructured his contract, converting most of his $3.25M base salary to a signing bonus.

This is not a reflection on Flynn's status in the Raiders' quarterback derby, it's merely a financial move. The Raiders were just $179,987 under the cap and still had all their draft picks to sign, so they had to move some money around. The restructure gives them about $1M more in cap flexibility. They'll get more room once Michael Huff's contract clears on June 1.

Pat Angerer - LB - Colts

Colts ILB Pat Angerer (foot) is not participating in this week's OTAs.

Angerer broke his foot during the preseason last year and missed the first five games. He was a shell of himself upon his return, managing just 28 tackles in 11 appearances. If healthy, Angerer projects as quality depth behind Jerrell Freeman and Kavell Conner. He had 148 tackles in 2011.

Ryan Williams - RB - Cardinals

Cardinals RB Ryan Williams said he was "scared all last year to get the ball in my hands."

Williams was coming off a torn patella tendon. "I was trying to protect my leg instead of trying to protect the football," he admitted. "It's a scary sight being a running back and being scared to run the ball. That's something that no running back should feel." Williams averaged a pathetic 2.82 YPC before a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 5. He says the fear is now gone, but he'll have to prove in pads to earn carries. Rashard Mendenhall, Stepfan Taylor and Andre Ellington are all in the mix.
