J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) posts video of himself running
J.K. Dobbins posted a video of himself running to Twitter five and a half months after tearing his Achilles.

Michael Pittman Jr. expected to either land extension or be tagged by Colts
Colts GM Chris Ballard said that Michael Pittman Jr. will be on the roster come Week 1, either by an extension or the franchise tag if necessary.
Fantasy Impact
Pittman was slated to potentially be one of the bigger name wide receivers in free agency this offseason, but it appears he’ll remain with the Colts one way or another. He dealt with some head injuries last season, but caught 109 passes for 1,152 yards and four touchdowns. Anthony Richardson (shoulder) remains on track to have a chance of being healthy by Week 1 next season.

Mike Evans expected to hit free agency
Mike Evans, who is set to become a free agent at the start of the new league year, is expected to test the open market, though that does not mean he is eliminating a return to Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Impact
A continued stay with the Buccaneers feels like the most likely outcome for Evans’ offseason, but it’s possible he could be exploring his options to see if there is a situation that appeals to him. With a lot of good teams being WR-needy this offseason, Evans should have a strong market, but after spending a decade in Tampa, Fla., both sides might stick together a little longer.
