Second-round pick Kevin Dodd underwent surgery Thursday to repair a
broken left foot and could miss the rest of the offseason with the
Tennessee Titans.
The rookie said he felt soreness in rookie camp and the Titans
took him for additional tests, which revealed the fractured fifth
metatarsal.

Running back Ameer Abdullah will not participate in Detroit's
offseason workouts because of shoulder surgery in January to repair
a torn labrum.
According to multiple reports, the Lions expect Abdullah to return
for training camp.

Ezekiel Elliott, the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft,
began practice with the Dallas Cowboys as the backup to starting
running back Darren McFadden.
Since the Cowboys called Elliott's name with the fourth pick in the
draft, he was presumed not only the starter at his position but
perhaps the most important piece on a star-studded Dallas offense
that includes quarterback Tony Romo and wide receiver Dez Bryant.

The Cleveland Browns signed linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah.
The second-round pick was the 32nd overall selection from Oklahoma
State. He reportedly inked a four-year, $6.6 million deal that
includes a $3 million signing bonus.

The Baltimore Ravens will forfeit one week of organized team

Thursday afternoon.

The Green Bay Packers signed rookie quarterback Marquise Williams
and released quarterback Ryan Williams.
Williams started 33 of 48 career games at North Carolina and set
more than 20 school records, including career rushing touchdowns by
a quarterback (35), career rushing yards by a quarterback (2,458)
and career total offense (10,423). The dual-threat player also moved
into third on the school career list for touchdown passes with 61.
