NFL Notes: Anquan Boldin, Bills, Broncos & Chiefs

Anquan Boldin

  • Albert Breer spoke with a pro scouting director about free agent WR Anquan Boldin and why heโ€™s still available. The scouting direction summed it up by saying: โ€œHeโ€™s old and canโ€™t run.โ€œ
  • Breer adds that NFL teams still want to get their younger players some more reps this spring.

Bills

Bills WR Sammy Watkins admitted Wednesday that โ€œnobody knowsโ€ what his timetable will be for a return from surgery he underwent to repair stress fractures in his left foot.

โ€œThis is an injury where you have to be really careful,โ€ Watkins said, via WKBW Buffaloโ€œThe only thing that I can do is listen to the staff and take it slow, and just, really protect myself, and theyโ€™re going to protect me also. Weโ€™re just going to take the course with the injury. Nobody knows what timetable, what or when Iโ€™ll be back.โ€

Broncos

Broncos executive VP John Elway admitted there is some โ€œconcernโ€ with OLB DeMarcus Wareโ€˜s lingering back issues.

โ€œYeah, thereโ€™s always a concern with that,โ€ said Elway, per Nicki Jhabvala. โ€œEspecially with the back, because you never really know. And heโ€™s such an integral part of it and his leadership qualities, so obviously weโ€™re hopeful he can get that going. Weโ€™re going to manage him and we knew that coming into this year, to take care of him. Yeah, thereโ€™s a little bit of concern there.โ€

Chiefs

  • While Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles was present for Wednesdayโ€™s practice, HC Andy Reid said that Charles isnโ€™t expected to participate in practice until training camp begins in July, at the earliest. (Terez A. Paylor)
