Seattle Seahawks WR Percy Harvin will be used similarly to how he was used by the Minnesota Vikings, in a variety of ways.

'I'll be moving around - pretty much all around,' said the 5-foot-11, 184-pound Harvin. 'There'll be a little bit of running back coming up. But right now, we're just trying to get the foundation set, just running the base plays, and we'll see where it goes from there.'

Eagles | James Casey has surgery Thu May 23, 12:43 PM
Philadelphia Eagles FB James Casey (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Thursday, May 23, and he's expecting to be back at practice in two weeks. The team expects Casey to be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Casey has an opportunity to be involved in this Chip Kelly offense more than he was utilized in Houston. He needs to get healthy, stay healthy, and show that he can be more than just an athletic freak. Casey has the size, versatility, and athleticism to create mismatches when he's on the field. He needed a fresh start and is an interesting TE to keep an eye on for fantasy owners in deep leagues. |

Redskins | Dad thinks Robert Griffin should throw more Thu May 23, 12:24 PM
Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III's (knee) dad thinks the team should devise more plays this year that has his son throwing more and running less. 'I just know that based on what I know Robert can do, he doesn't have to be a runner as much as I saw last year,' Griffin Jr. said. 'To me, you're paying these (receivers) a lot of money to catch the football. I'm his dad -- I want him throwing that football, a lot. A lot.' Griffin is hoping he can recover from torn ligaments in his right knee in time to play in Week 1. He ran the ball 120 times for 815 yards last season.
