Spotted running at OTAs
Needham (Achilles) was seen running off to the side at Tuesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Needham suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 6 last season and missed the remainder of the year. Now seven-plus months removed from the injury, he remains in the rehab phase. Needham was re-signed to a one-year deal as a free agent in March and will compete for the third cornerback job behind starters Xavien Howard and newcomer Jalen Ramsey.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Needham emerged as a surprising UDFA starter down the stretch last season, but he'll likely only be called upon in a depth capacity going forward.
