The Athletic reports the Los Angeles Chargers brought free-agent WR Keenan Allen in for a workout Friday, and HC Jim Harbaugh said that workout “went well.” “Did a lot of Keenan things,” Harbaugh said. “It was an impressive workout.” Harbaugh would not give any update on a potential timing for a deal to get signed. But he did say he is “hopeful, as always.” Allen has more receptions and yards than any receiver in Chargers history. GM Joe Hortiz traded Allen to the Chicago Bears in the 2024 offseason, two months after he was hired. Allen remains a free agent. When asked Monday what it would mean to reunite with Allen, QB Justin Herbert said, “Keenan’s a special player. He’s definitely a guy that we’ve got a ton of respect for. We know how special he is. Personally, we’ve been able to throw him the ball a bunch. But that’s probably a better question for the guys upstairs.” Allen is at his best in the slot. WR Ladd McConkey is at his best in the slot. How exactly would Allen fit into this room, when there is some position redundancy with McConkey? “That’s probably a better question for the guys upstairs, as well,” Herbert said. “Obviously they’re both the same position, and we know how talented Keenan is.”

But the Texans didn't sign Chubb to be the lead back like they did with RB Joe Mixon. He was supposed to be a solid #2 option that could start in a pinch. So far in camp, that burst needed to get through to the second and third level of the defense is nowhere to be found. Now could some of the blame fall on the offensive line? Perhaps, but you can't put all the blame on the unit in a live game if that's all you got.

-- Conner & Benson to be Co-RB1s --
Sun Aug 3, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

The Arizona Cardinals official website reports the concept of RB Trey Benson being a co-RB1 with RB James Conner dates back to the Scouting combine when HC Jonathan Gannon first mentioned it. "It's the situation we are in and we can't shy away from it," Conner said. "We've got to talk about it and understand what's expected. We want to be the best rushing team in football. We need that from (Benson). And the rest of the backs. We can't shy away from those conversations." Conner is coming off his best NFL season and just signed an extension. Benson, the 2024 third-round pick, was looking more and more Conner-esque as a rookie before an ankle sprain derailed his final month. Benson is a different player in Year 2... "My confidence is through the roof right now," he said... and Conner noted that Benson is going to play a lot this season. That doesn't mean Conner is going to be pushed aside. Indeed, it mostly underscores how much the Cardinals would like the running game be the identity of their offense. Benson is learning whatever he can from Conner on the daily.
