Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent shoulder surgery this offseason (non-throwing shoulder) and has been slowly working his way back to the field. Herbert said he plans to participate in team drills this week after he had just been working on the side. Herbert returning to team drills already is a good sign that he'll be ready to go for training camp next month.
On top of returning to the field, Herbert is also due a huge payday soon and head coach Brandon Staley acknowledged that those talks and negotiations are ongoing.
Herbert didn't exactly give a straight answer when asked if he would play this upcoming season without a new contract. "That's a good question. I think that's something you have to address and you have to think about." more qb news:

Tom Brady is once again reiterating that he does not intend to return to playing football. Rumors about his return will swirl forever, but recently resurfaced because of his involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders. I won't believe it until I see it, personally.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tweaked his calf during last week's OTA workouts, and he'll remain limited for a little bit longer, head coach Robert Saleh said. The hope is that he's back to full strength next week.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be under the microscope this offseason as they determine who will start at quarterback come September. Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield will be splitting reps for most of the summer. Head coach Todd Bowles discusses the process.

During Las Vegas Raiders OTAs, new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did not participate in practice, as he has not been cleared.
Garoppolo had surgery on his foot in March and is expected to miss Raiders OTAs. Garoppolo's rehabilitation timeline is uncertain, but the feeling in the building is that he should be ready by the beginning of the season at the latest. Head coach Josh McDaniels refused to comment on Garoppolo's surgery on Thursday, the severity, and the timeline of recovery.
By focusing on his recovery, Garoppolo aims to strengthen his foot and regain full mobility - however less time with new teammates and being on a new team in general is likely not going to be beneficial for him. More qb news:
Aaron Rodgers is in attendance for OTAs with the New York Jets, but he wasn't doing much work on Tuesday due to a potential ankle injury. Rodgers was seen limping on the field where he then went to speak with the strength and conditioning staff. The good news? It's May. The best time to get injured.
The injury appeared to be only a "tweak," although it's something worth keeping an eye on as the offseason progresses.
It was later determined that the injury for Rodgers was a calf strain.
While the initial issue seems to minor, it's worth monitoring as calf injuries can tend to linger. But the fact that this happened now is better than it happening later.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed backup QB Mitch Trubisky to a two-year contract extension. General Manager Omar Khan announced a deal was close on the Pat McAfee Show, and a confirmed deal was announced shortly thereafter.
Trubisky started for the Steelers for a short time before the team handed the keys to Kenny Pickett, who will be the expected starter in 2023. Trubisky is a solid backup who can win you a game or two if needed, but probably isn't consistent enough to be a starter in the NFL.
Pittsburgh also re-signed third-stringer Mason Rudolph earlier this week, giving Pickett a strong sense of continuity in the quarterback room for September. more qb news:
Buffalo Bills quarterbacks Josh Allen, Matt Barkley, and Kyle Allen attended Toronto Blue Jays practice on Monday, where they hit nine home runs between the three of them. The Blue Jays tweeted a video of Allen taking batting practice before the game against the New York Yankees.
"It was fun to get out there," Allen said. "I was telling some of the coaches I miss shagging balls [no idea what that means] and spitting seeds and just talking with the guys. That's some of the best memories I had in high school." more qb news:
Current free agent QB Matt Ryan hasn't announced his retirement yet, but based on his latest career venture (and to be honest, last year's performance), it seems like it may be a reality soon. Ryan announced he will be joining CBS Sports as an analyst, both in studio and in-game. Ryan says in a Twitter post that he is not retiring - because he's still owed money from the Indianapolis Colts.
If Ryan does decide to retire, he will do so with zero Super Bowls.

Jalen Hurts has had a whirlwind couple of months. A Super Bowl appearance with the Philadelphia Eagles, a contract extension, and now a Master's degree from Oklahoma. Hurts earned a degree in human relations last Friday.
Finishing a master's degree while being in the NFL (and getting to a Super Bowl) is some type of level most of us can't begin to imagine.
