Broncos roster: WR Courtney Jackson (No. 89) could be a candidate to return kicks
Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie wide receiver Courtney Jackson, No. 89. Before the Broncos: Jackson (5-11, 189 pounds) spent his final two college seasons at Arkansas State after spending 2019-22 at Syracuse University. As a member of the Orange, Jackson led the team in 2021 with 39 catches for 389 yards, earning an All-ACC mention from Pro Football Focus. Jackson transferred to Arkansas State in 2023, where he was a receiver and a punt returner. In 2023, Jackson had a 60-yard punt return and posted a 100-plus-yard receiving game against Texas State. In his Red Wolves career, Jackson had 81 receptions for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns. As a returner, Jackson had 31 opportunities to run the ball back, returning the rock for 438 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons. Broncos tenure: Jackson was part of Denver's initial wave of undrafted free agent signings after the 2025 NFL draft in April. Jackson will make his Broncos debut during preseason in August. Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. As two-time Pro Bowler Marvin Mims became more of a dynamic threat at wide receiver late in the 2024 season, the Broncos may be looking to have additional options at kick returner for the 2025 season. Therefore, although Jackson faces long odds to make the active roster, his return ability will help his odds. He might be stashed on the practice squad as a backup receiver/returner.

AJ Brown Claims New Eagles WR Making Camp 'Uncomfortable'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It might be difficult for a newcomer to stand out in the Philadelphia Eagles' group of wide receivers. With AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith headlining the unit, the Eagles have had one of the most star-studded groups in the league, leading up to training camp in 2025. Terrace Marshall Jr. recently signed a one-year deal with the Eagles and is looking to make an impact in any way he can. So far, the veteran wideout has made the room "uncomfortable," according to the star, AJ Brown. "He's coming along quite well, honestly," Brown said in regard to Marshall. "Even in the spring, he was making a lot of catches. I know [the media] didn't see it, but he's going to make the room very uncomfortable, you know? That's a great thing." A.J. Brown #11 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on during warm ups before a game against the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field on December 08, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania A.J. Brown #11 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on during warm ups before a game against the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field on December 08, 2024 in Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaMarshall entered the NFL in 2021, following his stint with the LSU Tigers. He was a fairly high pick, landing on the Carolina Panthers in the second round at 59th overall. During his first season with the Panthers, Marshall caught just 17 passes for 138 yards. He didn't reach the endzone until his second season in the league. In 14 games, Marshall caught 28 passes for 490 yards and one score. When the 2023 season rolled around, Marshall played in just nine matchups. For the second time in three seasons, he failed to exceed 200 yards. Once again, Marshall didn't score at all. After getting waived by the Panthers last summer, Marshall joined the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. They released him in October, which led Marshall to join the Las Vegas Raiders. It took about a month before he was elevated to the active roster. With the Raiders, Marshall appeared in seven games. He caught just three passes for 41 yards. Marshall will get a chance to make an impact on the Eagles. He enters Philadelphia with 43 games under his belt. The young veteran has produced a little over 800 receiving yards. Despite struggling to meet expectations early on his career, Marshall has turned heads on the Super Bowl-winning Eagles this offseason. He might struggle to earn a ton of targets in an offense that has Brown, Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley, but an endorsement from Brown is certainly something Marshall should feel good about right now. "I'm excited to see the room continue to evolve," Brown finished. "Not just him, but everybody, push each other. I'm excited." For more Philadelphia Eagles and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports

A.J. Brown offers elite praise to another of the Eagles' wide receivers
Terrace Marshall turned a few heads at Eagles training camp, and he caught the eye of Philly's top wide receiver. The Philadelphia Eagles' first training camp practice was abbreviated. Everyone still found much to discuss, however. Select media members were allowed a 20-minute Q&A session with Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman. Players spoke with those same media members after the workout. A.J. Brown was up first. Need anything else to be stated? You may have heard. Brown is a big deal around town. He's a Super Bowl champion now, one who the cameras tend to follow. He's someone the national media can't stop talking about. Much of what Brown does catches the spotlight. Look at what he did for one author's book sales after he elected to read it on the sidelines during the most recent season. Be honest. Brown is why most of you know what Inner Excellence is, so imagine what he might do for the buzz of one of the newer faces at wide receiver. A.J. Brown offers an elite complement to Eagles newcomer Terrace Marshall Brown, Jordan Mailata, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts all spoke with the Philadelphia media on Wednesday. Their star left tackle, Mailata, had some kind words for Jalyx Hunt. Number 11 shared some of his own for one of the Eagles' new wide receivers. 'He's coming along quite well, honestly. Even in the spring, he was making a lot of catches. I know you guys didn't see it, but he's going to make the room very uncomfortable, and that's a great thing.' Marshall truly made a name for himself in his Eagles training camp debut. He indeed made things uncomfortable, particularly for Kelee Ringo, but as Brown states, this is indeed a good thing. Competition will only make this team better. Marshall hails from the LSU Tigers program. He spent his first three years with the Carolina Panthers before splitting time with the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders last season and now looks to reinvigorate his career in the City of Brotherly Love.
