Stars return: 12 takeaways from first full week of OTAs

The first full week of OTAs just concluded, and marks an important milestone in the year.

The week also signals a great time for optimism as NFL stars return to the field from injury. Just this week: Carolina's best receiver Kelvin Benjamin was back on the field for the first time since tearing his ACL last year. Andy Dalton was back under center again after missing the insane end to Cincy's season. Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy, badly missed last year, looked spry in Detroit. 2015 No. 3 overall pick Dante Fowler was ready to "turn it loose" in Jacksonville.
