Team news: Denver Broncos | Page 13

Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus needed assistance to leave the field on Tuesday after suffering an injury to his leg, but it should not be long before he’s able to rejoin the team at practice.

Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Wednesday that Cephus avoided a major injury and is expected to miss a “short period of time” this summer.

It's a potential tough break for Cephus who now faces what looks to be a crowded group of WRs in Detroit.

The worst is confirmed for Patrick, and he'll miss the 2022 season. Hamler should see an increased role as the team's WR3, but it could also mean more passing work for the RBs and TE Okwuegbunam.

Tim Patrick is getting carted off the field at Broncos camp after twisting his leg coming down from a crazy leaping catch.

The tweet said the entire team is huddled around him as he gets loaded onto the cart. We'll have to wait for more information but this doesn't sound good. Patrick was the team's WR3 behind Sutton and Jeudy. It could mean Hamler and Hinton get a chance at that spot if Patrick has to miss extended time.

The tweet added that Allen said Hill will, "still take some snaps from the quarterback position." So it looks like Hill could be up to his old tricks, much like when Drew Brees was the QB. Underhill did say Hill's primary position will be TE. Hill's potential at TE is yet to be determined, but any production could get a boost depending on how much time he'll see at QB.

As Ravens open training camp this week, RB Gus Edwards (knee) is considered questionable for Week 1 (season opener at New York Jets).

There are a lot of questions around the Ravens RBs right now. Edwards is coming back from a torn ACL that he suffered in September and kept him out all of last season. The Ravens are hoping Dobbins (knee) will be back for the regular season. Baltimore signed Davis and Clement and drafted Badie. A lot will need to be sorted out before the regular season starts as far as the Baltimore backfield goes. Assuming their studs are healthy and ready to go, Baltimore is expected to be a run-heavy team in 2022.

The New England Patriots have signed WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

LJH is a big target that will get a chance to try and carve out a role for a receiver room devoid of consistency. Humphrey is just a guy unless cuts/injuries attack the Pats' wideouts.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh addressed reporters Thursday, and among the topics were the rehabs of RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Harbaugh told reporters it is too soon to tell if they will be ready for training camp, and therefore the season.

The Ravens have run with a loaded backfield for a while and the statuses of Dobbins and Edwards are leans to why Mike Davis was added to the RB room. Rookie Tyler Badie is also going to be in the mix early on as a Ravens draftee. Justice Hill will be a member of the Ravens forever at this point.

Lions 1st round pick Jameson Williams is not expected to be ready for training camp following ACL surgery following the National Championship game January 10.

"If Williams doesn’t practice at all in training camp, he could be a candidate to go on the physically unable to perform list, or open the season on injured reserve with a designation for return," writes Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. "Either designation would force him to miss at least four games, pushing his Lions debut to at least the Week 5 game in New England. The club is off the following week, so if he doesn’t play in New England, his debut might not occur until Oct. 23 in Dallas."

While not a surprise, it is a sobering report. Look for Josh Reynolds, a midseason acquisition last season, to get the most looks in Williams' stead in three-wide sets.

RB Mike Davis is signing with the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the Falcons last week.

The Ravens are once again doing their best to be a backfield you avoid. Sure, a few of these backs will be cut or not utilized but the idea of carrying a fistful of RBs on the roster that have NFL experience and success is frustrating.

The Denver Broncos are bringing back RB Melvin Gordon.

The Williams hive is set to light the world on fire. In all fairness to Gordon, he was useful in a split with Williams but does not have the speed and upside that Williams possesses. Welcome back to RB hell, Broncos!
