Jerel Worthy DE - GB:
May 21, 4:01PM: Jerel Worthy vows...
Packers DE Jerel Worthy (torn ACL) is vowing to play "at some point" in 2013. Worthy tore his left ACL in Week 17. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel gave him "long odds" of playing this season in a January article. The 2012 second-round pick notched 2.5 sacks in 443 snaps as a rookie. He'll almost certainly begin 2013 on the reserve/PUP list.

Mike Neal DE - GB:
May 21, 3:55PM: Mike Neal seeing...
Packers DE Mike Neal is taking snaps at outside linebacker in OTAs. Neal is reportedly "surprised" by the development, but it doesn't appear a position switch is afoot. Standing in at 6-foot-3, 294 pounds, Neal would have to slim down to see regular snaps at outside linebacker. Despite drawing a four-game ban for violating the league's PED policy last season, Neal notched a career-high 4.5 sacks in 266 snaps across 11 games.

Marcell Dareus DT - BUF:
May 21, 3:29PM: Marcell Dareus...
Marcell Dareus is absent from Bills OTAs. A reason was not provided, but it appears Dareus is simply skipping the "voluntary" workouts. The No. 3 pick of the 2011 draft graded out as the No. 11 defensive tackle in Pro Football Focus' ratings last season. He has work to do as a run stopper, but Dareus' future remains bright.

E.J. Manuel QB - BUF:
May 21, 3:25PM: Bills OC: Manuel...
Bills OC Nathaniel Hackett admits first-round pick E.J. Manuel needs work on "everything." Hackett's comments come two days after Manuel said the Bills' playbook was easier to pick up than Florida State's. "He's a young man that's got to work on a lot of things from footwork to progressions to plays to formations, everything," Hackett said. "Defenses in the NFL are obviously a little different. He's got to work on that too. He's got to work on everything."

DeMarco Murray RB - DAL:
May 21, 3:18PM: DeMarco Murray...
DeMarco Murray missed the first day of Cowboys OTAs on Tuesday with a hamstring "tweak." He's expected to return by next week. We don't typically post minor OTAs maladies, but any injury is notable for the fragile Murray. Injury prone throughout his college career, Murray saw his rookie year ended by a broken ankle, and missed six games with a foot issue last season. His yards per carry dipped from 5.5 in 2011 to 4.1. Murray needs to prove he can stay healthy in 2013.

Mike Goodson RB - NYJ:
May 21, 3:07PM: Goodson pleading...
Mike Goodson will plead not guilty to both his gun and drug charges. Goodson's attorney says he was "only guilty of being drunk," and claims he had "no knowledge" of guns or drugs being in an acquaintance's car when it was pulled over last Friday morning. "Mike's charged with possession of that gun, but we're confident we're going to be able to show (the gun wasn't his)," the attorney said. Goodson will be facing jail time if convicted.

Josh Portis QB - SEA:
May 21, 3:05PM: The Seattle...
The Seattle Seahawks have waived Portis a day after news surfaced of his arrest for driving under the influence earlier this month. The Seahawks announced the decision to cut Portis Tuesday morning. Portis was on the field and an active participant during the Seahawks' first OTA workout Monday. Portis was arrested on investigation of driving under the influence May 5 and faces a court arraignment next week. Portis was pulled over for driving 80 mph in a 60 mph zone on Interstate 90. He registered .092 and .078 in breath tests. The legal limit in Washington state is .08.
