Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Najee Harris: Door has not closed on return to Pittsburgh
Steelers GM Omar Khan said he has spoken to the agent for Najee Harris and that door has not been closed on a return.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers also tendered RFA Jaylen Warren. Harris did not have his fifth-year option picked up and will test the open market in free agency. He will be a player to monitor at the start of free agency to see where he ends up.

J.J. McCarthy (knee) expected to be ready for start of offseason program
Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said J.J. McCarthy has his sights set on being ready for the start of the Vikings’ offseason program in April.
Fantasy Impact
O’Connell said McCarthy’s rehab continues to go well. The big question this offseason in Minnesota will be if they bring back Sam Darnold or not. It sounds like it is more leaning towards Darnold heading elsewhere as of now.

Nick Chubb expected to hit open market
Browns GM Andrew Berry says he expects Nick Chubb to hit open market when free agency starts.
Fantasy Impact
It is still possible Chubb returns to Cleveland, but the fact that they are letting him test the open market shows he likely isn’t a priority. Chubb is coming off multiple season-ending injuries, so he may need to sign a short-term, prove-it deal where ever he ends up. It is unclear if he will return to his old form at 29 years old.
