Sports Illustrated reports Aaron Hernandez has been questioned in a "possible homicide" in North Attleboro, Mass., but is "not believed to be a murder suspect."

However, SI reports "a vehicle rented in (Hernandez's) name has emerged as a key piece of evidence in the investigation." The body of a 27-year-old Boston man was found less than a mile from Hernandez's home on Monday. Hernandez was questioned by Massachusetts State Police, who were reportedly at his residence on Tuesday. A source close to Hernandez confirmed he has spoken with police. His player rep has declined comment.

Aaron Hernandez (shoulder surgery) is catching passes at Patriots minicamp.

Hernandez isn't participating in team drills, but remains on track to be 100 percent for training camp. The trick will be staying that way. With Rob Gronkowski (arm, back) doubtful for Week 1, Hernandez might not risk his health by playing a ton of preseason snaps.

Aaron Hernandez (shoulder surgery) was spotted catching some passes during Tuesday's OTA.

ESPN Boston reports that "word is" Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) can expect a four-month recovery period.

Hernandez underwent a "minor scope" almost three weeks ago, and he is not expected to participate in OTAs or minicamp. It's possible he could even open training camp on the PUP list. However, there is plenty of time for Hernandez to be ready for Week 1. The Patriots will likely bring him along slow.

Aaron Hernandez's shoulder operation has been termed as a "minor scope," and is not expected to affect his status for training camp.

Aaron Hernandez reportedly underwent shoulder surgery this offseason.

Aaron Hernandez said he's focusing his offseason workouts on helping him stay healthy for a full season.

Hernandez has missed 10 games through his three NFL seasons. This offseason, he's living in Los Angeles to get away from distractions and has altered his workout regiment. "I'd say more attention to specific muscles instead of just doing the basic bench, squat and all that other stuff," he said. "I'd say I started a little earlier this year to maybe try to get through 16 games this season." Over the last two years (24 games played), Hernandez has averaged 5.4 catches for 58.0 yards and scored 12 touchdowns. He's going to have a monster year if he stays healthy.

Aaron Hernandez has rented a place in Los Angeles so he can work out with Tom Brady this offseason.

Aaron Hernandez caught nine passes for 83 yards in New England's 28-13 AFC title game loss, adding one rush for six yards.

Hernandez did his best to move the chains for a Patriots offense that had trouble busting big plays, but got little going after the catch. Regardless, Hernandez was one of the reasons the loss wasn't more lopsided, as he reeled in 9-of-14 targets, and had typically little trouble winning 1-on-1s. Although his durability remains a question mark, Hernandez erased any doubt as to his elite status this season, and will enter 2013 every bit the fantasy option Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham are. Hernandez caught six or more passes in six of his 12 2012-13 appearances, and was held below five grabs only three times. He's as valuable as it gets in Dynasty leagues.

Aaron Hernandez hauled in six passes for 85 yards on nine targets in Sunday's Divisional round victory over the Texans.

He also lost a 21-yard catch to an offensive pass interference penalty and was tackled just shy of the end zone on a 14-yard reception. Hernandez showed off his sterling run-after-catch skills on a 40-yard pass play to set up Stevan Ridley's 8-yard touchdown. Hernandez will vie with Wes Welker to take over as New England's most productive receiver versus the Ravens in the AFC Championship game.
