Green Bay is rolling out the red carpet for the NFL Draft. Except it's actually not red.
Except the red carpet isn't actually red and it's not a carpet. It's made of synthetic turf with marks to look like the adjacent football field.
It's the first red carpet on a field during the draft, said Sebastian Martin of NFL Events, according to a report from the Green Bay Press Gazette.
The red carpet is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. April 24 on the visitor sideline in the Lambeau Field bowl. About 200 attendees can sit in sections 217 to 227 to watch the ceremony.
During the events, fans can see 15 future NFL players. Parts of the red carpet events will be televised during the NFL Network's "NFL Draft Kickoff" with Kimmi Chex.
Those who are planning to attend the red carpet events can enter the Lambeau Field concourse at the available gates. The events are free.

Chiefs place Felix Anudike-Uzomah on injured reserve, ending the 2023 first-round pick's season
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah on injured reserve Monday, ending the season for the 2023 first-round pick, who has struggled to live up to expectations following a standout career at Kansas State. The Chiefs also waived running back Elijah Young and signed defensive end Owen Carney and linebacker Xander Mueller. Anudike-Uzomah came out of high school in the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, Missouri, and he was a popular pick when the Chiefs selected him 32nd overall in a draft they hosted in 2023. But he has just three sacks and eight tackles for loss over 34 games his first two seasons in the league, and now he will miss the upcoming season altogether. 'That's a tough thing,' Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. 'I mean, he's worked hard. We'll see where it goes. I can't tell you how long it's going to be. It's disappointing for him because he's worked so stinking hard.' Anudike-Uzomah had been buried on the depth chart behind starting defensive ends George Karlaftis and Mike Danna, veteran pass rusher Charles Omenihu and Ashton Gillotte, a third-round pick out of Louisville in April's draft. The Chiefs returned to their practice facility Monday following a preseason loss in Seattle last Friday night. Among those missing the workout were defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle), defensive backs Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder), linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee) and wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee). In a bit of positive injury news, Marquise Brown returned to the field Monday after dealing with an ankle that has sidelined him for much of training camp. Brown has sat out both of the Chiefs' preseason games, and Reid declined to say whether he would be on the field for their final exhibition game against the Bears on Friday night. Kansas City opens the regular season against the Chargers on Sept. 5 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 'Hollywood (Brown) did a little work yesterday, which was good. He'll get a little more today and then we'll see,' Reid said. 'We'll see how he progresses through this thing. But it's not a matter of wanting to be out there. He wants to do it. We're just taking it slow. We don't want any setbacks with this going forward here.' ___ AP NFL:

QB Jordan Love returns to Packers practice after thumb surgery
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love returned to practice Monday less than a week after undergoing thumb surgery on his non-throwing hand. He had his thumb, which had ligament damage, wrapped while going through a series of passing drills. The injury occurred, coach Matt LaFleur previously said, when he was sacked for a 3-yard loss by Jay Tufele on the quarterback's final snap from scrimmage during the Packers' 30-10 preseason loss to the New York Jets on Aug. 9. LaFleur has already ruled out Love from playing in the Packers' final preseason game against Seattle on Saturday. Malik Willis is the primary backup and had two starts in seven appearances last season after being acquired in a trade from Tennessee. ___ AP NFL:

Dolphins host 3 offensive linemen for tryouts
The Miami Dolphins hosted three offensive linemen for tryouts Monday, according to the NFL's daily transaction report. Undrafted rookies Elijah Ellis and Ozzie Hutchinson, along with third-year guard Mason Taylor spent the day in Miami. Ellis and Hutchinson joined the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens earlier this year after they weren't picked in the 2025 NFL draft, but both were waived in training camp. Taylor, 25, spent his rookie year with the Washington Commanders and had stints on the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts practice squads in 2024. Earlier this year he played for the UFL's DC Defenders. The Dolphins are dealing with a few injuries along the offensive line with starting right tackle Austin Jackson currently sidelined along with backups Liam Eichenberg and Andrew Meyer. While head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that he remains convinced Jackson will be ready for Week 1, depth is thin behind the starting group. Miami also reportedly brought in four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Matthew Judon on a visit with the intention of adding him to the roster, although he didn't appear on the transaction wire.
