Colts signed fifth-round RB Vick Ballard to a four-year contract.

Ballard has some pop at 5-foot-10 and 219 pounds, but there's no wiggle to his game and he's not going to help in the passing attack. While NFL teams aren't smitten with Ballard's talent, opportunity can be more than half the battle in fantasy leagues, and there's plenty of it in Indianapolis' backfield. Ballard should battle Delone Carter for the team's primary power back role.

Patriots signed seventh-round WR Jeremy Ebert to a four-year contract.

The deal included a $48,200 signing bonus. An undersized speed demon with 173 college catches, Ebert projects as a potential slot receiver and special teams player down the road. He'll likely open his career on the practice squad.

Colts signed fifth-round NT Josh Chapman to a four-year contract.

Chapman's biggest rookie-year obstacle is recovery from a torn ACL and meniscus. When healthy, he is an immovable fire hydrant at 6-foot-1 and 316 pounds. The Colts believe Chapman will be medically cleared before training camp. If so, he'll compete with Brandon McKinney and Antonio Johnson for snaps inside.

Jets OL coach Dave DeGuglielmo was adamant Wednesday that Wayne Hunter will keep his starting right tackle job.

"Until they ship him out of here or shoot me dead in my office, the guy's the starting right tackle," said DeGuglielmo. Hunter must impress in t-shirts and shorts at OTAs, because there's nothing to suggest he excels in a helmet and pads. We do think Hunter will bet out Vlad Ducasse, but that doesn't mean much.

Titans GM Ruston Webster says the team will decide its 2012 quarterback starter based on "gut feeling."

"I'm not a huge stats guy," said Webster. "It will probably be a gut feel more than anything else. ... (The player) who, in a tight race, we feel like has the best chance to help us win, even though we’re comfortable with either one of them." Webster says he's "not sure" the Titans will make a quick decision in training camp. Jake Locker, for now, is considered the underdog to Matt Hasselbeck.

Rams WR Greg Salas (fractured fibula) is participating in OTAs.

Salas received medical clearance and appears to be fully healed six months after fracturing his left fibula. Though it's not saying much, Salas showed more promise than any Rams receiver in 2011, playing inside and out and catching 27 passes in six games. He could push Chris Givens for a starting job in camp.

The Chicago Tribune's Dan Pompei would be "stunned" if Alshon Jeffery opens the season in the Bears' starting lineup.

"As of now, Devin Hester is the starting flanker on the Bears," Pompei wrote. The Bears didn't trade up for Jeffery in the second round to sit him on the bench, but rookie receivers don't always develop quickly, and Chicago brass still seems to have delusions of Hester emerging as a viable first-string wideout. We'd be "stunned" if Jeffery didn't emerge as a starter very early in his rookie year.

Rams WR Danario Alexander is missing time at OTAs with a hamstring injury.

Alexander's injury isn't known to be significant, but he battled hamstring woes for much of 2011 and needs to make a positive impression on a new coaching staff. The new regime may not be as forgiving with Alexander's durability woes.
