The Kansas City Chiefs acquired cornerback Mike Hughes and a 2022 seventh-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round pick, according to a source.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, will be limited in what he’s asked to do in this weekend’s rookie minicamp. He is doing well in his rehab from surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, so the Jaguars are just being extra cautious with their franchise signal-caller. It doesn’t make any sense for the team to push their

The Tennessee Titans and cornerback Caleb Farley agreed on a four-year, $13.495 million fully guaranteed contract on Thursday. Farley underwent back surgery in March, which caused him to miss his Pro Day and fall to pick No. 22 overall in the first round of the draft.

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell, the No. 7 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, will miss rookie minicamp this weekend after he tested positive for COVID-19 last weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kerryon Johnson, who was waived by the Detroit Lions last Thursday, said he expects to compete for carries in his new backfield.

The Eagles have Miles Sanders, Boston Scott and Jordan Howard

The New York Jets are working out veteran free-agent wide receiver Tavon Austin on Wednesday, according to a source. Austin played for the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers last season, but he caught just five passes for 20 yards in four games.

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed offensive tackle Andrew Wylie to a one-year, $2.133 million deal Tuesday and released quarterback Jordan Ta’amu in a corresponding move.

He signed with the team in 2018 and has become a reliable and valuable depth player on the team’s offensive line.

The Cleveland Browns claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin off waivers from the New York Jets on Tuesday. Kicker Matt McCrane was released in a corresponding move.
