The NFL offseason continues with mandatory minicamps underway across the league. Here's a roundup of the latest news and updates from around the NFL, focusing on key player attendance and contract situations.
Buffalo Bills: James Cook Reports
Running back James Cook made his presence known at the Buffalo Bills mandatory minicamp. Despite seeking a new contract, Cook stated, "I like my money, that’s why I’m here." He emphasized that he holds no resentment towards the team, understanding that "everything is a business." It remains unclear how much Cook will participate in the minicamp activities as negotiations continue. Additionally, linebacker Shaq Thompson, recently signed to a one-year deal, is present at minicamp but is not expected to participate as he recovers from a torn Achilles suffered last September.
Atlanta Falcons: Kirk Cousins Back, Morgan Fox Absent
Quarterback Kirk Cousins, who opted out of OTAs, is present at the Atlanta Falcons' mandatory minicamp. Head coach Raheem Morris confirmed Cousins' attendance. However, defensive end Morgan Fox is not attending the minicamp due to personal reasons, according to Morris.
Arizona Cardinals: Injury Concerns for Pitts and McGary
Tight end Kyle Pitts is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and the Arizona Cardinals are taking a cautious approach to his recovery, according to head coach Raheem Morris. Right tackle Kaleb McGary is also dealing with an undisclosed injury, which explains his absence during OTAs.
Cincinnati Bengals: Trey Hendrickson Holds Out
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson is not expected to report to the Cincinnati Bengals' mandatory minicamp. NFL Network Insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport reported that Hendrickson and the Bengals have not made progress on a multiyear contract extension.
