Allen Hurns Moving To Individual Drills

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal said that wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle, leg) ran routes against air last week and is moving to individual drills at minicamp on Tuesday. Hurns suffered a devastating leg injury in the playoffs last year. He was a disappointment to say the least in his first year in Dallas over a full season, catching just 20 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns. With the addition of Randall Cobb as a free agent in the offseason behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, Hurns won't have much of a role in the passing game unless an injury occurs ahead of him in 2019.

Miles Sanders Won't Practice At Minicamp

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) will not practice at minicamp this week. Sanders hasn't practiced at all during the team's spring activities, which is notable for a rookie. He's behind the ball as of now and coupled with the club's happiness with Jordan Howard as a multi-talented running back, Sanders' stock is dropping as we approach training camp this summer. Philly will employ a running-back-by-committee approach, though, so Sanders will surely factor in when the regular season starts. But he might not run away with lead-back duties as most assumed he would when he was drafted.

Andrew Luck Won't Practice At Minicamp

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Andrew Luck (calf) will not practice this week at minicamp. Luck's calf injury isn't believed to be very serious, but the Colts will give him extended time to heal before he's a full-go in training camp. Most fantasy owners didn't want to take on the risk associated with Luck last year after he was coming off serious shoulder surgery, but he proved all his doubters wrong and was one of the most valuable fantasy quarterbacks in the entire league. As a result, he'll likely be one of the first signal-callers off the board this fall.
