Courtney is a frequent panelist on Around the Horn and host of Best Week Ever and GameNight on ESPN Radio. LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- After spending more than two months sidelined with a hamstring injury that he sustained during OTAs, Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III wasn't looking to ease his way into practice once he was cleared for training camp on July 28.

Steelers Have Trade Price for Micah Parsons. A day after wide receiver Terry McLaurin requested a trade from the Washington Commanders, another NFC East star has followed suit and purportedly come available for the Pittsburgh Steelers. To many's surprise, Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons officially announced that he's seeking a trade amidst frustrations with how negotiations on an extension have transpired. Parsons referenced being irked by some passive aggressive comments from Cowboys owner, president and general manager Jerry Jones, who seemed to call into question his availability towards the beginning of training camp. "Just because we sign him doesn't mean we're going to have him," Jones said, per ESPN's Todd Archer.

Chuba Hubbard (RB - CAR)
8/1/25 6:00 PM -
Former Oklahoma State Running Back Chuba Hubbard Poised for Another Big NFL Season. Chuba Hubbard has been the definition of a grinder since entering the league in 2021 as a fourth-round draft pick. Coming out of Oklahoma State, the Carolina Panthers used Hubbard as a complementary back role alongside Christian McCaffrey before his departure, then took a backseat role to D'Onta Foreman following his strong rookie season. Heading into 2023, the former Pokes running back had much to prove to Carolina's front office to prove he could be the lead back of the Panthers. To kick off his first season as the lead back, Hubbard would tally 665 yards and six touchdowns by the start of November, which prompted the Panthers to offer the former fourth-rounder a four-year, $33 million contract extension with $15 million guaranteed.

Whether or not the Cardinals establish themselves as true playoff contenders as the season progresses will hinge very heavily on whether or not this group can produce.

8/1/25 11:00 AM -
NY Giants Quarterbacks Continue to Get Little Respect from National Outlets. Outside of their surprising 2022 season, which marked the best year of the Daniel Jones era under center, the New York Giants' quarterback position has been in a continuous decline for much of the past several seasons. The group's negative impact on the entire offense was never clearer than last fall, when Jones continued to regress in his decision making in the pocket and the Giants struggled to get the ball into the endzone with three other arms that got called up after the franchise in the middle of the year eventually released him. With inconsistency in the passing game and an inclination for taking sacks rather than getting the ball out quicker, the Giants held the league's worst scoring offense, notching under 15 points per contest and finishing in the basement of several major statistics, both in the air and on the ground, sparking a heavy need for change at this glaring need on the roster. Of course, not all could have been blamed on the quarterback when the Giants have not had a strong offensive line that helps keep their signal caller upright.

Skattebo missed most of the spring workouts with an undisclosed ailment, so it's unknown if what caused him to miss some sessions so far this summer and force him off the field early on Friday are all related. Coming into camp, Fidone had a bit more of an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster if the Giants planned on running it back with Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, and Chris Manhertz, with Fidone likely a practice squad candidate.

Last year, the Giants tight ends went 10 of 12 (83.3%) on contested catches, and yet when it came to the red zone, they were only targeted four times (one each for Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz and Greg Dulcich), the tight ends coming up with two receptions (50%) and one touchdown.

Washington Commanders (DEF - WAS)
8/1/25 2:15 AM -
Patriots predicted to land Terry McLaurin by sending two WRs and 2nd round pick to Commanders. The Washington Commanders have publicly said they have no plan to trade Terry McLaurin. McLaurin has one year remaining on a three-year, $71MM deal he signed with the Commanders back in 2022. The $23.3MM average annual value now ranks 17th among wide receivers, and the former All-Pro is seeking a new deal that would put him even with the other top level wideouts in the NFL, as there as been a major spike in contracts at the position over the last few tears. While McLaurin hasn't explicitly stated what kind of money he's seeking in his new deal, it's tough to see him being happy with anything under roughly 34 million per year.

Detroit Lions (DEF - DET)

Lions rookie Ahmed Hassanein shakes pregame butterflies, flashes ability in run defense. FaceTiming his father before the start of a game is nothing new for Ahmed Hassanein, but this one was different. For the first time in Hassanein's life, he was calling his dad with an NFL logo on his chest, set to soon take the field for his unofficial professional debut. Emotions were high for the Detroit Lions' rookie, and those feelings were carried with him through the tunnel and onto the field at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium on Thursday. Hassanein "almost cried multiple times during the beginning of the game."

Joshua Dobbs (QB - SF)
8/1/25 2:00 AM -
Karen Guregian: Patriots need to be smart about using Drake Maye as a runner. Backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs opened a can of worms this week when he revealed how Josh McDaniels was a fan of utilizing the athleticism of his quarterbacks. Dobbs said McDaniels wanted to keep opposing defenses on their heels with the threat of quarterback runs. Drake Maye can certainly run.

Devin Hester (WR - SEA)

Catching Up With Hall of Fame Return Master Devin Hester. If you're going to make the Hall of Fame in ways that nobody else ever has, it goes without saying that you had to be legendary at what you did. It does go without saying that Devin Hester, who played with the Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, and Seattle Seahawks during his 11-year career from 2006-2016, was about as legendary as he could be at what he did. A first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2024 primarily as a punt and kick returner (nobody else has that designation), Hester ranks first all-time in pro football in non-offensive touchdowns (20), third all-time in punt return yards (3,695), 12th all-time in kick return yards (7,333).
