NFL Notes: Chargers, Cowboys, Jaguars, & Lions

Chargers

  • Alex Marvez reports that the Chargers are restructuring their personnel department, which includes the dismissal of at least one staff member.

Cowboys

Cowboys HC Jason Garrett mentioned that WR Dez Bryant‘s rehab is going well, but he’s still “day-by-day, week-by-week.

โ€œHeโ€™s done a really good job with his rehab, and heโ€™s made progress,โ€ coach Garrett said, via ESPN.com. โ€œLike with all those guys, itโ€™s a day-by-day, week-by-week thing. But heโ€™s had no setbacks, but he really continues to get better and better.โ€

Garrett added that as soon as Bryant is healthy, he’ll be back to a regular workload.

โ€œI donโ€™t think thereโ€™s any balance. Itโ€™s all about just being healthy,โ€ Garrett said. โ€œAs soon as heโ€™s healthy, heโ€™ll get integrated back in. Heโ€™s doing everything weโ€™re asking him to do with his rehab, and heโ€™s making progress. There will be different thresholds heโ€™ll have as we would with any injured player, โ€˜Heโ€™s doing this well, letโ€™s take the next step. Heโ€™s doing this well, letโ€™s take the next step.โ€™ So weโ€™ll do that with him, and hopefully over the course of the offseason and into training camp heโ€™ll start playing some football with us.โ€

Jaguars

  • Jaguars HCย Gus Bradley mentioned thatย Brandon Linder is getting majority of his reps at center this year. (Michael DiRocco)
  • Jaguars signed seventh-round DE Jonathan Woodard to a four-year deal.

Lions

Lions HCย Jim Caldwell declined to offer an update LB Stephen Tullochโ€™s status with the team.

โ€œI think Bob [Quinn] has talked to you at length about that one,โ€ Caldwell said, via ESPN.com. โ€œKnow him and love him, but I think Bobโ€™s answered that question.โ€

This has become one of the strangest situations in the NFL, as the Lions previously informed Tulloch of their plans to move on. However, they’ve paid himย $500,000 roster bonus and even released some other players earlier in the week to create room for undrafted signings.
