Dyami Brown Stands Out at First OTA Practice

Monday, May 19, 10:49 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown, who was picked up in free agency in the offseason, stood out in the team's first OTA practice on Monday, according to SI.com's John Shipley. Shipley writes that Brown made it clear that defenses will not be able to afford considering him an afterthought alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter. Brown ran crisp routes and was one of the few receivers who didn't deal with drops while making explosive plays through the air and on designed touches as a ball-carrier. The 25-year-old earned praise from both head coach Liam Coen and offensive coordinator Grant Udinski. Brown, a former third-rounder by the Washington Commanders in 2021 out of North Carolina, mostly lingered at the bottom of the wideout depth chart in D.C. However, he could become the No. 2 WR if Hunter spends most of his time on defense in 2025.

Luther Burden III Still Out on Saturday

Saturday, July 26, 11:31 AM

Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (undisclosed) remains out of training camp practice on Saturday, but head coach Ben Johnson said he's hopeful that Burden will be back soon. The 21-year-old second-rounder suffered an undisclosed soft-tissue injury during the offseason program during the spring and isn't quite ready to join the rest of the team on the field at camp. However, Burden avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list and should be back sooner than later as he competes for the No. 3 receiver role in his first NFL season behind DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. The 39th overall pick has plenty of playmaking abilities but will most likely struggle for consistent targets in Year 1 as long a Moore and Odunze stay healthy. Olamide Zaccheaus figures to be Burden's primary competition.
