NFL receivers gathered this week for a "Wideout Workshop" hosted by Chad Ochocinco
Those in attendance included Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Miami's Tyreek Hill, Cleveland's Jerry Jeudy, Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Green Bay's Jayden Reed, Denver's Courtland Sutton, Buffalo's Elijah Moore and Houston's Tank Dell, according to the Miami Herald.
George Kittle, Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen have turned Tight End University into a major annual event for dozens of NFL tight ends, ranging from Pro Bowlers to those just hoping to make a roster, all coming together to develop in their professions. Ochocinco saw a similar opportunity for the wide receiver position.
Clips from the workshop posted on Instagram show the receivers running routes and giving each other pointers, getting some additional work in before training camp at an event that could easily follow the path of Tight End U and turn into a popular annual gathering.

Why NFL's heaviest player at 449 pounds isn't allowed to practice yet
Certain players in the NFL pack on the pounds to play their positions -- offensive lineman do it to absorb the punishment of playing against agile pass-rushers. And defensive tackles like Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Desmond Watson want to gobble up running backs trying to get by them. But in the case of Watson, he actually needs to lose weight. At a listed 449 pounds, the Bucs are putting him on the non-football illness list in order for him to shed some pounds. Per head coach Todd Bowles: "It's just about trying to get him better to be a healthier player and getting him on the field a little more, that's where I'm at right now." Bowles added Watson's working on getting in more shape, "and that's all you can ask for right now." We'll see what happens with that situation. Who are the heaviest NFL players of all time? Watson would be it if he stays at this weight. Aaron Gibson -- a tackle who played for the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears -- was once listed at 410 pounds. And ex-Cowboy Nate Newton once tipped the scales at 401 pounds. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Bucs 449-pound DT Desmond Watson isn't allowed to practice yet

Jets QB Justin Fields suffers dislocated toe in his right foot Thursday, able to take the field for practice Friday
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields suffered a dislocated toe in his right foot during Thursday's practice, the team announced. Fields is considered "day-to-day" and, according to the Jets, "avoided serious injury and significant missed time." That turned out to be an accurate diagnosis, as Fields returned to practice Friday. Things appeared scary Thursday when Fields initially sustained the injury. Fields threw an incompletion, then sat down and stood up before limping off the field. Trainers were seen removing his right cleat to work on his foot. He was then carted off to the locker room to be examined. The team then ended what they were doing in practice and began working on special teams. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters he believed Fields had his foot stepped on. Tests showed no fracture, only the dislocation, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Jets are hoping Fields will be ready for Week 1. Fields is in his first season with the Jets after signing a two-year, $40 million contract in the offseason after spending 2024 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tyrod Taylor is the Jets' backup quarterback. When asked about the veteran signal caller potentially being needed to play, Glenn said, "I don't think there's any drop off as far as what we want to do when it comes to play calling." Fields making an impression early on Prior to his time in Pittsburgh, Fields played three seasons in Chicago after the Bears selected him with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Bears traded Fields to the Steelers in 2024 after obtaining the No. 1 pick in the draft to select Caleb Williams. Fields then split time in Pittsburgh with Russell Wilson. He started Pittsburgh's first six games after Wilson suffered a calf injury in training camp before Wilson took over at quarterback for the rest of the season. In 10 appearances, including his six starts, Fields completed 65.8% of his passes last season for 1,106 yards on 6.9 yards per attempt with five touchdowns and one interception. He ran for 289 yards on 4.7 yards per carry with five rushing touchdowns. The Steelers were 4-2 in games he started, but moved on to Wilson once he was healthy. During offseason work, Fields has impressed Sauce Gardner, to the point that the two-time All-Pro cornerback said Fields has been making throws on the level of the quarterback he is replacing. "There's only a certain amount of quarterbacks that can make [certain throws]," Gardner said earlier this month via "The Pat McAfee Show." "I'm talking about throws on, like, Aaron [Rodgers'] type of level. When it comes to being able to squeeze those throws in there, I always thought Aaron was the best when it came to that. And it's like Justin had made a few throws where I'm like, 'OK, he really been in the lab, for real.' I could just tell." Fields and the Jets won't have to wait long to see Rodgers and his new team, the Steelers. New York and Pittsburgh will meet in Week 1.

NFL star admits Eagles still haunt Commanders after brutal NFC Championship Game blowout
The NFC East is setting up to have some incredible battles between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders for many years to come. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are coming off of a tremendous season that included a Super Bowl championship, while Jayden Daniels helped guide the Commanders to their first NFC Championship Game in three decades. Unfortunately for Daniels though, his team suffered a humiliating loss to the Birds back in January, and the young quarterback admits that it still haunts him months later. Daniels was certainly one of the best rookies in 2024, and quite honestly, one of the most impressive debut quarterbacks in recent NFL history, but it's clear that the Eagles have a huge psychological advantage over their division rival heading into this season. For the Commanders, they can't feel too awful about Philly's 55-23 victory at Lincoln Financial Field though because Jalen Hurts and the Eagles simply ran through most teams they faced in the playoffs last season. That included another brutal takedown of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, which didn't see Patrick Mahomes and Co. put up a single point on Vic Fangio's defense until the third quarter.
