Jets | Cade Klubnik to be QB2? Tue Aug 25, 12:50 AM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will not only be the team's backup quarterback but also the only other quarterback on the 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Rich Cimini, who writes that the Jets are 'eager to see' what they have in Klubnik. That means the team is expected to release QBs Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe.
Link to storyHouston Texans DE Dylan Horton (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice Monday, Aug. 24, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Per multiple reports, Horton tore his Achilles during the team's workout. Horton has been with the Texans since being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. Horton missed the end of his rookie season and the start of the 2024 campaign while battling lymphoma. He has been in remission since March 2024. When healthy, Horton has appeared in 39 regular-season games for the Texans. He had 55 tackles, a half-sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in that action. He also has two tackles in four playoff games. |
New England Patriots QB Behren Morton has 'earned his way' onto the team's initial 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss, who writes that Morton will be a developmental project, and though ideally he would be on the Patriots' practice squad, it would be 'too risky' to expose him to waivers.

Seattle Seahawks RB Anthony Hankerson was waived Monday, Aug. 24.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was waived/injured Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation's Seth Cox reminded readers, Benson has struggled to stay healthy in his two seasons in the NFL, and then the Arizona Cardinals spent an absurd amount of resources this offseason to fix the issues with the running back room. It left a crowded space with Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and James Conner at the top of the depth chart. Now, the Cardinals have one less decision to make, and the fact that reserve RB Zonovan Knight didn't play against Dallas on Saturday makes even more sense. We'll be watching to see if Benson catches on with another team. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 24.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals WR Bryson Green and TE Baylor Cupp were waived Monday, Aug. 24.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals DE Josh Sweat (knee) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: The return of Sweat answers the biggest question hanging over the Cardinals since training camp began. After notching a career-best 12 sacks last season, Sweat did not take part in any voluntary work and then was a surprise addition to the PUP list at the start of camp as he worked on his left knee. The knee has required maintenance since a serious injury when he was in college. The Cardinals, in desperate need of his impact in the pass rush, have three weeks to prepare for the season opener in Los Angeles on Sept. 13. |

Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making progress in his recovery but will not participate in practice this week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: This is not a surprise. The No. 3 overall pick suffered what's believed to be a high-ankle sprain on the final touch of his exhibition debut against the Raiders two weeks ago. While the Cardinals are hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, there will be no practices in his immediate future. When he was playing, Love looked terrific. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. But expecting a slower start due to this injury would be wise. Love has fallen to RB16 in our latest rankings. |
New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) left practice Monday, Aug. 24, early after suffering an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: Johnson went down while blocking, prompting trainers to rush onto the field. According to local reports, Johnson walked off, slammed his helmet into the grass, ripped off his gloves, pulled his hood up, and headed briskly toward the locker room alone, appearing frustrated. Isaiah Likely has been the fantasy-relevant TE in New York all along, but we'll continue to watch for more on Johnson and report back as developments warrant. |
