Seahawks TE Will Dissly practiced with the team on Wednesday despite suffering a torn achilles tendon in Week 6 last year.

Dissly ran routes and caught passes in light drills as reporters watched from the sidelines. The Washington product has been productive on a per-game basis in what has been an injury-laden career to this point. Dissly has only finished eight regular season games in two seasons but has six career touchdowns and flashed great chemistry with Russell Wilson before going down last year. He will be eased into action and likely split snaps with Greg Olsen, but Dissly has sleeper appeal as a late-round tight end.

The onus will fall on OC Greg Roman, running backs coach Matt Weiss and the rest of the offensive coaching staff to get and keep all four backs involved. It will require a delicate balance of getting everybody touches while also riding the hot hand and making sure the right back is on the field at the right time when there is a football game to be won.

“We’ll find ways to make it work, for sure,” Roman said. “To have that kind of backfield is a blessing. We definitely want to get into training camp and work through it and kind of evolve as we go. As far as how we are actually going to deploy them, who we are going to emphasize and how, I think that’s going to happen on the fly every day in training camp, and (we’ll) get a better feel for that. But I love problems like that. I mean that sincerely.”

The story said the team could ride the hot hand week to week, but the piece also mentioned it doesn't mean Ingram will have a reduced roll. We touched on the Ravens RB situation a few weeks ago. Ingram and Edwards are expected to be free agents after this season, so the future very much could be Dobbins and Hill. But for this year, it's going to take some sorting out and it's possible all four backs have fantasy value.

Dissly has already passed his physical, but the Seahawks will still ease him back slowly, the tweet went on to say. Dissly was having a great start to his season before the injury last year, and was a popular free agent pickup as a result. The team signed Olsen in the offseason.

The Eagles traded for Marquise Goodwin this offseason, but it will be at least a year before they see him on the field.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Goodwin is opting out of the 2020 season because of COVID-19 concerns.

Goodwin was expected to add more speed and experience to the Eagles WR group. As we reported earlier this week, Goodwin seemed to be the favorite to win the slot job. Rookie first round pick Reagor could now get a big boost with Goodwin sitting out.

The Ravens drafted J.K. Dobbins in the second round, putting Ohio State's first 2,000-yard rusher in the same backfield as Mark Ingram II, a three-time Pro Bowl player; Gus Edwards, one of two backs in the NFL to gain over 700 yards and average more than five yards per carry in each of the past two seasons; and Justice Hill, a fourth-round pick from a year ago who was the fastest running back at the 2019 combine.

The Ravens say it's a good problem to have and will figure out the touches. But for fantasy owners it's a bit of a problem. The story said expect Dobbins to back up Ingram at least to start the season. Ingram will turn 31 and Edwards is a free agent after this season, so the story also pointed out the future may just be Dobbins and Hill.

According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Baltimore Ravens rookie running back J.K. Dobbins is slated to open camp as the third string running back behind Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards.

Despite being drafted as an RB3 redraft leagues, it is no sure thing that J.K. Dobbins even opens the season as Mark Ingram’s top backup. Gus Edwards, while more of an early down runner, has been an effective committee back to this point of his career (his 5.29 yards per carry over the past two seasons leads the NFL). Edwards will open camp as the top backup, and could be an early season impediment to Dobbins seeing consistent touches as a member of the Ravens backfield. The long term upside is tantalizing, but aside from managing to beat out Edwards, Dobbins also needs to siphon touches from Mark Ingram to earn standalone value. Coming from the run-pass-option heavy Ohio State, he is an ideal system fit, but Dobbins would need to become just the second rookie running back in 12 years to rush for more than 600 yards for John Harbaugh. The upside is undeniable, but there is significant opportunity cost and ADP based risk baked into acquiring him in redraft leagues.

The Eagles and first-round WR Jalen Reagor have agreed to terms on a four-year, $13.3M contract with a fifth-year option.

Rookie camps begin Tuesday July 21, so Raegor is the first of many who are signing deals prior to reporting. The TCU product will compete for targets on a team that started players off the street in 2019. Outside of DeSean Jackson, it is unknown who will start at receiver in 2020. Currently, Raegor is being drafted as a WR4/5 that has an excellent opportunity to crush his ADP.

Atlanta gets tight end Hayden Hurst and Ravens 2020 4th-round pick. Baltimore gets Falcons 2020 2nd-round pick, and Falcons 2020 5th-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Hayden Hurst had a decent 2019, catching 30-of-39 targets for 349 yards and two touchdowns. He was behind Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle for the most part, and should see more work in the Falcons offense, replacing Austin Hooper who is now a Cleveland Brown.
