Andy Reid: “Louis Rees-Zammit seems ready”
In a press conference on Monday, Andy Reid (HC, Chiefs) answered questions about the ex-rugby player’s acclimatization Louis Rees-Zammit. The Chiefs coach said it was “not an easy transition, but he seems to be ready” for the professional game because of his rugby background. Rees-Zammit has already started training with Patrick Mahomes (QB) selon Reid.
“We’re going to start him at running back, so he feels comfortable with that position. He also had the opportunity to go to Dallas and work with Pat and again, he’ll get used to some of these game calls through our Zooms, and then we’ll see where that takes us. »
Andy Reid also indicated that Rees-Zammit will be followed by special teams coach Dave Toub when the team is in the final stages of its off-season work. This is because the Welshman had already announced that he hoped to help with returns.
Broncos: Courtland Sutton absent from training to demand a new contract
Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton was not present at Monday’s optional practice in Denver. According to NFL media, this Tuesday, the reason for this absence is the search for a new contract. Indeed, Sutton only has two million dollars guaranteed for the two years remaining on his contract.
In 2023, the 28-year-old receiver has participated in 16 games with the Broncos for 59 receptions, 772 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Separately, 9News reports that Sutton had ankle surgery during the offseason, but that wouldn’t worry the franchise. Besides, Sutton is already able to train. He does it in his corner in Florida.

Browns: injured news
In front of the press this Tuesday, Deshaun Watson (QB) said he was now able to “throw at full speed.” However, he continues to gradually recover from the right shoulder injury that ended last season.
“Everything is in motion. Everything is fluid and the movement is really good. The speed and strength are really good. […] This is an injury where in the spring you want to be a little more conservative. For summer, you want to be ready for training camp. This will be the time when we can resume. »
Conversely, on Tuesday, the head coach Kevin Stefanski did not give a specific timetable when asked about the restoration of Nick Chubb (RB), seriously injured in the knee last season.
“I can promise you, he works very hard. Early in the morning, he is there, he begins his rehabilitation. That’s the best way to answer. When he’s ready, he’ll be ready. »

Cooper Kupp’s workouts are intense
This Tuesday, in an interview for the Rams website, Nacua Gate (WR) recounted his start to the offseason. Instead of relaxing, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year has spent the past two months training with his teammate, Cooper Kupp (WR), at Kupp’s home. The experience was memorable for Nacua, who didn’t mince words when describing the difficulty of Kupp’s workouts.
“His fitness days were some of the hardest. I remember the first week I came back, I think I threw up every day of the week. He wasn’t a fan of it, because it was on his lawn. He said to me: ‘You vomit in my bushes Puka, thank you.’ […] But following Coop’s plan made it very easy and got me focused on the right path. »
Patrick Mahomes and his baseball desires
In an interview for Time Magazine released this Tuesday, Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs) has indicated that he would like to attend an MLB team’s spring camp.
Not surprising since his father was a major league baseball player and Mahomes played both sports at Texas Tech University. The quarterback has already raised the subject with the Kansas City Royals of which he is co-owner.
“I talked to the Royals. […] I’m going to get it approved by the Chiefs and everything else. But maybe one of these years I’ll go over there and see what I got. See if I can still hit the ball or throw or whatever. Maybe not in the games but I can at least practice with them. »
Andy Reid (HC, Chiefs) answered him in his own way.
“He was a hell of a baseball player. He grew up around it. I’m sure he can play in the major leagues. I mean, he’s pretty good. » But, his condition for approving the idea is: “He will have to take me as manager. »
