“I tore a ligament and a tendon in my second toe and have been rehabbing, working out, and recovering every day for the past year,” Claypool posted on Instagram. “I am back to being the strongest and fastest I’ve ever been and couldn’t be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves.
“I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what’s been suppressed these last two years.”
In four seasons with the Steelers (2020-22), Chicago Bears (2022-23) and Miami Dolphins (2023), Claypool recorded 175 catches for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts).

Fantasy football rankings 2025: Top breakouts from model that nailed Jayden Daniels’ big season
Jayden Higgins wasn't one of the four wide receivers selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but given his landing spot and his team's offensive situation, he could have the potential to emerge as the top rookie wideout in the 2025 Fantasy football season.

Stroud available for the preseason favorites to win the AFC South.Stroud passed for more than 4,000 yards as a rookie before a not-as-effective sophomore season with 3,727 yards despite playing two more games than […]
