Given how the situation between Josh Jacobs and the Las Vegas Raiders had played out ahead of the franchise tag deadline, the possibility of the running back not appearing in training camp and/or in preseason games isn’t really all that wild.

Cam Johnson is still with the Brooklyn Nets, but at some point during the 2023 NBA free agency, it looked as though there was a chance that he would be going somewhere else, especially with the rumored threat of the Detroit Pistons to sign the former North Carolina Tar Heels star.
