Metcalf, Hakeem Butler headline WR/TE/QB measurements at NFL CombineThe next set of measurements is in, with the bulk of skill-position players having their heights, weights, and lengths recorded for NFL scouts on Thursday. There were several standout players from this group, inspiring hope that we could see a size-speed marvel or two emerge from the NFL Combine. Here were the most noteworthy names from the day:Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa StatePlease, just take a moment to appreciate this chart:Hakeem Butler Youth Vosean Joseph Jersey , y’all.Butler’s listed size drew Mike Evans comparisons, and the real measurements were even more impressive. Butler measured at 6’5 3鈦?” 227 lbs, with 10 3鈦?” hands and 35 1鈦?” arms. He set a record for the longest wingspan to be recorded by a wide receiver at a whopping 83 7鈦?”. If he shows off in the vertical leap on Friday, the first-round talk could start heating up.D.K. Metcalf, WR, MississippiSpeaking of delivering on the hype, Metcalf absolutely stole the show with his sculpted body. Metcalf stood 6’3 3鈦?” and 228 lbs, with nearly 10” hands and nearly 35” arms. The kicker was when it was reported that Metcalf measured with only 1.6 percent body fat, a shockingly low total usually reserved for professional bodybuilders.Noah Fant, TE Womens Vosean Joseph Jersey , IowaKudos to Fant, who had been billed as more of a big receiver entering the draft season. He measured 6’4 1鈦?” and 249 lbs, assuaging fears about his ability to bulk up, and 9 3鈦?” hands are a great sign for a tight end who can stretch the seam. In fact, most of the tight ends had a great day, averaging around 6’4” and 250 lbs.Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio StateArguably the top quarterback in this class, Haskins checked the boxes for the size police among the NFL scouts. He stood 6’3” and 231 lbs, with 9 5鈦?” hands.Marquise Brown Authentic Vosean Joseph Jersey , WR, OklahomaNot the best results for Brown, who was expected to underwhelm when it came time to record his size measurements. He stood just 5’9 3鈦?” and only 166 lbs—something that would give several teams pause.Kyler Murray, QB, OklahomaThis was the most hotly anticipated weigh-in for the day, and analysts seemed to feel that Murray passed his test. He measured 5’10 1鈦?” and 207 lbs, numbers that would still make him the smallest starting quarterback this side of Doug Flutie, but which avoided the potential worst-case scenario of a 5’9” 190 lb nickel cornerback throwing the ball. On the bright side, Murray’s hands measured 9 1鈦?”—a plus for his ball security.JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR Vosean Joseph Jersey Boys , StanfordThis was definitely the year of the size receiver at the Combine. Besides Butler and Metcalf, plenty of other prospects hit the 6’2” 220 lb prototype at the weigh-ins. Arcega-Whiteside was one of those, standing 6’2” and 225 lbs, with 9 1鈦?” hands and 33 1鈦?” arms. He’s considered one of the best red-zone targets in this year’s draft, and that size explains why. The Los Angeles Chargers will be without their two starting tackles for today’s game against the Oakland Raiders.Russell Okung is inactive due to a groin injury that happened during the first half of last Sunday’s game against San Francisco. The ninth-year left tackle also missed a game last year due to a groin injury. Right tackle Joe Barksdale is missing his fourth straight game due to a knee injury he sustained during the opener against Kansas City.Sam Tevi, who has been playing right tackle in Barksdale’s absence, moves over to left tackle with undrafted rookie Trent Scott at right tackle in his first NFL start.Starting linebacker Mark Barron is active for the Los Angeles Rams for the first time since Week 14 of last season. Barron has been dealing with an Achilles tendon injury that is likely to keep him on a limited snap count against the Seahawks.Seattle defensive end Frank Clark also is available despite missing a full week of practice due to illness.Richard Sherman will be active for the San Francisco 49ers against the Arizona Cardinals after missing one game with a calf injury. Sherman was expected to miss up to three weeks but was able to come back early. The Niners will be without speedy receiver Marquise Goodwin, who is dealing with hamstring and quadriceps injuries.Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs had wide receiver Sammy Watkins available against the NFL’s top defense.Watkins tweaked his hamstring in last week’s comeback win against Denver. His availability Sunday will help Mahomes and the league’s highest-scoring offense against Jacksonville. The Jaguars already had ruled out running back Leonard Fournette again because of his hamstring problem and cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) earlier this week.The New York Jets started Buster Skrine at cornerback against Denver with Trumaine Johnson out after hurting a quadriceps during practice.

Also, tight end Seth DeValve is playing for the first time in four weeks after being sidelined with a hamstring issue.The Buffalo Bills lack safeties in numbers with starter Micah Hyde and backup Rafael Bush both inactive against the Titans. Hyde is sidelined with a groin injury sustained in the first quarter of a 22-0 loss at Green Bay last week. Bush did not practice this week due to a shoulder injury. Buffalo is left with just three active safeties, including Dean Marlowe,promoted from the practice squad on Saturday.Tennessee is missing two defensive starters with safety Kenny Vaccaro and linebacker Wesley Woodyard having already been ruled out.The Steelers will be without starting inside linebacker Vince Williams, who is dealing with a hamstring issue. Pittsburgh plans to split snaps between LJ Fort and Tyler Matakevich, while Steelers safety Morgan Burnett will miss his third straight game with a groin injury.Atlanta defensive tackle Grady Jarrett’s balky ankle will keep him out for the struggling Falcons.

Detroit receiver Marvin Jones is active with an ankle injury.
