Cardinals | Carson Beck sharp in preseason opener Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck completed 15 of his 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown during the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: Beck was the story of a surprisingly entertaining shootout to open the NFL preseason schedule. He was impressive enough that at least one Cardinals beat writer opined that the team needs to start Beck early in the season to see what they have him in before deciding what they will do at quarterback in 2027. This outcome was also a good sign for new head coach Mike LaFlwur's offense and its ability to get wide receivers open. |
Saints | Devin Neal exits early Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) did not finish practice Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara's services secured for another season, the Saints have a surplus of running backs behind him and free agent signing Travis Etienne. Neal didn't look out of place on an NFL field after Kamara went down last year before his season ended with a hamstring injury. It's not clear yet whether this is the same hamstring that caused a problem last year, but if it is, Neal could be an injured reserve candidate because the team also has Kendre Miller coming back from ACL surgery (but currently sidelined with a back issue), and Audric Estime, a 2024 Broncos fifth round pick who was a pleasant surprise after Neal went down last year. |
Cowboys | Jake Ferguson impressing in camp Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson has shown a 'clear connection' with QB Dak Prescott on intermediate and seam throws during training camp, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This might be more newsworthy if it was about a player who wasn't already fantasy relevant last season. In fact, Ferguson was the #1 tight end in fantasy leagues for a bit thanks to a spike in target volume when CeeDee Lamb was hurt. By the end of the season, Ferguson was a non-factor, so this is good news if you have been drafting him in spite of the second half swoon. |
Cowboys | Groin injury for Jaishawn Barham Fri Aug 7, 01:21 PM
Dallas Cowboys LB Jaishawn Barham (groin) suffered a groin injury Thursday, Aug. 6, but the injury is not believed to be serious, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Barham is in the same mold as #5 overall pick Arvell Reese - a defender who can rush the quarterback from the edge and also handle off-ball linebacker duties. He had been flashing in his first camp, with some observers speculating that he could push free agent signing Dee Winters for a starting job at inside linebacker. The other projected starting inside linebacker - DeMarvion Overshown - is coming back from ACL surgery, so the depth Barham could provide if the missed practice time from this injury doesn't set his development back from its strong early pace would be valuable for this defense under new coordinator Christian Parker. |
Bears | Chicago loses two more DBs Fri Aug 7, 01:21 PM
Chicago Bears CB Dallis Flowers (leg) and S Gervarrius Owens (leg) suffered 'significant leg injuries' during practice Thursday, Aug. 6, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Neither Flowers or Owens were slated to play large roles this year, but the team has already lost projected starting safety Coby Bryant for 8-10 weeks and standout nickel corner Kyler Gordon is still out with a calf injury that is frustrating head coach Ben Johnson. Backup safety Elijah Hicks, who could start in place of Bryant to open the season, is also on the PUP list with a shin injury, but could join the team in practice soon. No matter how you add it up, the Bears secondary is a big question mark for Week 1 at the Carolina Panthers - a team that has had a plethora of injuries this summer themselves. |
Ravens | Tyler Loop adding distance? Fri Aug 7, 01:21 PM
Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop connected on all seven of his field goal attempts during practice Thursday, Aug. 6, including kicks from 53 yards and 61 yards.
| Footballguys view: Loop had a very successful rookie year after the Ravens took him in the sixth round to replace Justin Tucker, but his maiden voyage ended with a miss on an attempt that would have given the team the AFC North title and sent them to the playoffs. Instead, the rival Steelers advanced. It doesn't appear that he has any confidence issues in his second training camp after Loop made a kick at the end of a recent open practice to avert the disaster of the team having to do 50 pushups after practice. Earlier in the offseason, he also made a kick to get the team out of their last round of meetings following the end of mandatory minicamp. |

Link to story Chiefs | Xavier Worthy sits Friday Fri Aug 7, 10:45 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) remains out of practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs reassured us that this was minor when it happened earlier in the week, but the injury is to the same shoulder that basically ruined his 2025 when he dislocated it in a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce. Tyquan Thornton becomes a more attractive late round sleeper with every day that Worthy misses, as he has already demonstrated great deep ball chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, and the team brought him back on a two year, $11 million deal this offseason. |
Chiefs | Cyrus Allen returns to practice Fri Aug 7, 09:58 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) returned to practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: Allen's absence from practice was short, which is good news because Xavier Worthy is out right now with a shoulder injury. Allen has created enough buzz and had enough snaps with the starters to think that he has a real chance to play a lot right away and be a fantasy factor if he continues to dominate practice like he did before suffering a shin injury in punt gunner drills. Allen should be on your late round target list. |
Bills | O'Cyrus Torrence lands big deal Fri Aug 7, 09:40 AM
Buffalo Bills OG O'Cyrus Torrence agreed to a four-year, $78.4 million extension Friday, Aug. 7. The deal includes $46 million guaranteed, and he becomes the seventh highest-paid guard in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Torrence was a second round pick in 2023 for the Bills and he has been everything the team hoped he would be. Their other starting guard from 2025, David Edwards, was signed to a big contract by the Saints this offseason. Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett are competing to replace Edwards at left guard, the only spot on the line that will have turnover from the 2025 lineup. |

Lions | Three-year extension makes Jahmyr Gibbs the NFL's highest-paid RB Thu Aug 6, 05:41 PM
Three-time Pro-Bowl selection Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions reached agreement today on a three-year, $67.5 million deal that could be worth up to $75.75 million and includes $51.5 million guaranteed, now making him the NFL's highest-paid running back.
| Footballguys view: Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor getting news deals seemed likely to generate some movement in Detroit, and here we are. Gibbs set a career-high with 320 touches and played the most snaps of his three-year career in 2025. This year, the arrival of new OC Drew Petzing and the departure of RB David Montgomery put Gibbs in position to do even more. He is one of the league's most dangerous playmakers in one of its most prolific offenses. Already going with the first pick overall in drafts this year, getting back to work will lend further confidence in Gibbs' ADP. |

Link to story Jets | Isaiah Davis to miss a few weeks Thu Aug 6, 04:40 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |

Link to story Browns | Solid practice for Deshaun Watson Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson 'had his best day to date' at training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The bar for "best day of camp yet" is very low for Watson, who had thrown six interceptions before this session. Shedeur Sanders has outplayed Watson, and there's buzz building that last year's third round pick Dillon Gabriel also deserves more snaps with the ones - and maybe should be included in the battle to start Week 1. It feels unlikely that Watson will make up enough ground to start. |

Buccaneers | Tez Johnson tweaked groin Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson (groin) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 4, to receive treatment for a groin injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Jalen McMillan is also dealing with a knee issue that has him sidelined indefinitely, so rookie third round pick Ted Hurst will get more work with Baker Mayfield and the starters for now. He could move onto our late round target list with strong performances in practice. Johnson was having a great summer before his injury. As long as he gets better soon and goes into the season as a primary backup receiver for the Bucs at multiple positions, we should keep Johnson on our waiver wire watch list. |
