Lions coach Dan Campbell said the team is prioritizing S Kerby Joseph's (knee) 2026 availability over participation in spring workouts.
Both of the Lions' starting safeties, Joseph and Brian Branch (Achilles), are rehabbing significant injuries. While it would be great to get one or both of them back on the field this spring, Campbell does not want to hurry his injured stars back and risk re-injury. Late in April, Lions general manager Brad Holmes said both safeties are "trending in the right direction." However, last we heard, Branch was not expected to be ready to play in Week 1. Joseph will likely sit out spring practices, but seemingly has a chance to participate in training camp. Stay tuned.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said he is in no rush to get TE Sam LaPorta (back) back on the field for spring workouts.
LaPorta underwent back surgery in November and is still in recovery. The Lions' offseason program includes organized team activities and a mandatory minicamp, sporadically taking place from May 27th to June 17th. A prior report indicated that the Lions hope to have LaPorta on the field when training camp begins in July. That could still happen, though he may need to be eased in after the extended absence. Things appear to be on the right track for his regular season readiness, though.

Seahawks agreed to terms with No. 32 overall pick RB Jadarian Price on a four-year contract.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Price is expected to sign the fully guaranteed deal later today. A recent report suggested that Price will not operate as the Seahawks' bell cow right away, but operating as the committee leader seems like a safe bet. Price is an explosive rusher, but lacks experience as a receiver and pass protector. He may be best viewed as an early-season FLEX, though more reports on Price's development and potential workload will roll in this spring and summer.
