Buccaneers RT Demar Dotson said he expects to be fully recovered from an MCL sprain in time for training camp.
โI think Iโve had a good offseason,โ Dotson said, via Scott Reynolds of Pewter Report. โIโm getting older. Iโm almost 31 years old, so I really have to take care of my body. Iโm not bouncing back from injuries like I was when I was younger. But this was a good offseason for me to rest, get my body back and strengthen my knee. Iโve also been working on getting my hips more flexible. Iโm ready to show this team that I can still be productive at a high level.โ
Buccaneers HC Dirk Koetter said the teamโs initial plan is for Dotson to start at right tackle, while Gosder Cherilus will play as a backup and swing tackle.
โThe game plan is weโre going to come in with Demar Dotson as the starter at right tackle and Gosder Cherilus is going to come in as the backup and the swing tackle,โ Koetter said. โThat was our plan last year. Gosder wasnโt on the team yet but our plan was to have Dot at right tackle. Due to injury, it didnโt work out that way. Gosder came in and it was well worth what we spent to get him in last year. Heโs excellent in the locker room and he played well when we needed him to play. Thatโs where weโll start this spring.โ
Chargers
- Michael Gehlken of the Union-Tribune writes that Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil is a โmessy fitโ for the Chargers, given that theyโre paying LT King Dunlap decent money and have Joe Barksdale entrenched as their right tackle.
- Taking Tunsil would either lead to their sizable investment (Dunlap) sitting on the bench or their No. 3 overall pick.
- Gehlken believes a defensive player is a much better fit for the Chargers at the top of the draft.
Cowboys
- According to Matt Mosley of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys will be looking at either FSU DB Jalen Ramsey or OSU DE Joey Bosa at No. 4 overall.
- However, Mosley adds that there are some within the Cowboys who would lobby for Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott, but Mosley believes this is still an unlikely scenario.
Jets
- Rich Cimini of ESPN writes that Jets DL Muhammad Wilkerson is โtheir entree into the top 10, the bargaining chip that could allow them to improve their current position, 20th.โ
- Even so, Cimini thinks the only way the Jets should part with Wilkerson is if theyโre getting either Jared Goff or Carson Wentz.
- According to Cimini, Paxton Lynch remains a wildcard for the Jets, and a team staffer was reportedly โbuzzingโ about his arm strength at his pro day. However, Cimini isnโt sure heโs worth parting with Wilkerson to get.
- Cimini isnโt worried about the news that Wilkerson wonโt attend the teamโs voluntary workouts, as heโs still rehabbing his broken leg and hasnโt signed his franchise tender yet.
Redskins
- Aaron Wilson reports that the Redskins have invited Penn State CB Trevor Williams to their local prospect workout on Tuesday.
- Another prospect in attendance for the workout will be Purdue DT Ryan Watson, according to Wilson.
