• Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins believes he can remain healthy and lead the league in rushing in 2026: “I’m gonna be number one, and I’m gonna keep it there for the whole year. 17 games…This year, there won’t be any (injuries).” (Evans)

Chargers

• Players who are also in the race for the left guard spot include Trey Pipkins, Trevor Penning, and Branson Taylor.
• Harbaugh said that he plans to name a starter at left guard in the next ten practices.

Chiefs

• Chiefs HC Andy Reid said WR Xavier Worthy had a sprained shoulder but expects him and fifth-round WR Cyrus Allen to return later this week. (Nate Taylor)
• Kansas City S Chamarri Conner was asked about playing safety this year after getting time at numerous spots last season, including nickel: “I’m very comfortable playing safety. It’s exciting to be in one spot… I’m excited for this year. I’m excited for this season.” (Charles Goldman)
• Chiefs RG Trey Smith said UDFA OT Kahlil Benson really wants to be great and offered him the following advice: “You have to keep coming out here and pushing. You’re fighting through something every single day, but you go to sleep and know you’re coming back out here.” (Goldman)
• Reid praised Benson as well along with OL Jaylon Moore: “Both of them can play. We’ve just got a young guy that we haven’t seen that has some talent… We’ll need all of them. That’s how it goes.” (Goldman)
• Kansas City DE George Karlaftis praised rookies R Mason Thomas and Peter Woods: “They’re trying to do stuff the right way… You can tell they love football. That coupled with their natural raw abilities and their ability to take coaching, they’re going to be great players.” (Goldman)

• Reid thinks RB Brashard Smith can do everything they need: “Let’s see how he’s improved. Protection being the big thing.” (Goldman)
• Reid also had good things to say about first-round CB Mansoor Delane: “He’s a tough nut. A lot of guys probably wouldn’t go out there & play with what he’s got, but he wants to be out there. He wants to learn. … But we’ve got to keep him out of contact. Right now, that’s important until that thing heals up.” (Taylor)

Raiders

• Raiders DE Maxx Crosby reiterated his commitment to the franchise after being asked about his leadership towards first-round QB Fernando Mendoza: “I’m a Raider to the core and I want to win more than anything.” (Ian Rapoport)
• Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer says the Raiders have been happy with the early work from Mendoza. However, the decision on when to move him into the starting role will be based not just on when he’s ready to play but when the supporting cast around him is ready to support him. 
• Breer notes making sure the offensive line is settled is one of those boxes the Raiders want to check, with a competition at right guard still playing out between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Caleb Rogers.
• Raiders sixth-round WR Malik Benson has been a pleasant surprise, per Breer, and has a chance to carve out a role in a pretty open receiver room. 
• Some other young players the Raiders have been encouraged by include DT Tonka Hemingway, fourth-round CB Jermod McCoy and fifth-round CB Hezekiah Masses, according to Breer. 
• Raiders P A.J. Cole on HC Klint Kubiak’s culture: “It does seem to feel different this time. And it really does seem to feel like we have a cohesive vision, a collective buy-in, and I think that the number of people swimming in the same direction is definitely in an all-time high.” (Warren)
