New York Giants WR Darius Slayton could be behind several other pass-catchers in the Giants' receiver pecking order, as Slayton suited up for their preseason game against the Miami Dolphins while WRs Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, and Braxton Berrios were all given the day off, in the opinion of ESPN's Jordan Raanan on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Slayton has worked his way back from the core muscle surgery that kept him out of action in the spring. He might just be getting some extra (needed) reps to knock off some of the rust. |

| Footballguys view: Maiocco said on the Rich Eisen Show that Evans' absence was just "very much precautionary" and "not a strain or pulled muscle." It's good that the veteran is back out there on Saturday. Evans has a current ADP of WR29 (6.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

49ers | Two SF players banged up on Saturday Sat Aug 22, 05:08 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder) are both day-to-day with their injuries, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Stribling left Thursday's preseason game against the Chargers with this shoulder issue. Just this week, The Athletic's Matt Barrows suggested Stribling is "going to have a major role" in Week 1 against the Rams. If healthy, Stribling could perform like a flex play or WR3 with upside. Let's see if the rookie can get healthy and get back out there to practice soon. |

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) has been cleared for 11-on-11 practices and will practice on Monday, according to HC Kevin Stefanski on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: This is some interesting news coming out of Atlanta. Many felt Tua Tagovaiola would be the starter in Week 1 as Penix comes back from his knee injury that cut short his 2025 season. Instead, Tagovaiola has struggled in training camp and the preseason. Now, Penix might have a shot to be ready for the season opener in a couple of weeks. Things change quickly around here, so as always; stay tuned. |

Seahawks | George Holani works with starters Sat Aug 22, 03:49 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani worked with the first-team offense during practice Friday, Aug. 21, since RB Jadarian Price (undisclosed) is still recovering from soreness.
| Footballguys view: The News Tribune's Gregg Bell reports that Price did not practice on Friday due to "lower-body soreness." The Seahawks play against the Titans on Sunday, and Holani should get the starter's workload. Holani, Emanuel Wilson and Velus Jones will get more work if Price is out of action for their second preseason game. |

49ers | Patrick Taylor injury update Sat Aug 22, 01:37 PM
Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers RB Patrick Taylor (groin) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of an adductor injury he suffered during practice.
| Footballguys view: The team signed Khalil Herbert in a corresponding move. Taylor ran 39 times for 183 yards and a touchdown with the 49ers in 2024. That year he suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery which required him to miss all of the 2025 season. The 49ers brought him back earlier this year, and he was competing for a spot as a reserve back and special teams player. |

Saints | Audric Estime has chance to make team Sat Aug 22, 01:23 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime (ankle) has a good chance to make the 53-man roster if he is able to recover from his injury, in the opinion of SaintsWire's John Sigler.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara (knee) out for around a month, the Saints are looking to establish a pecking order for reserve backs behind starter Travis Etienne. Estime finished last year strong with the Saints, and he brings more power to the field than the other backs on the roster. He's competing with guys like Kendre Miller and Devin Neal when healthy. |

Steelers | Will Howard, Drew Allar likely to make team Sat Aug 22, 11:48 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar are both expected to make the team's 53-man roster, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers have Aaron Rodgers as their starter for one more season, but they have Mason Rudolph as their primary backup. Both Howard and Allar will be in the mix next year as the team looks for their quarterback of the future. So far in the preseason, both young passers have struggled (with Allar looking better). |

NFL | Nick Chubb hangs up his cleats Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Texans) announced his retirement from the NFL Friday, Aug. 21.
| Footballguys view: When at his peak, Chubb was one of the best backs in the NFL. A four-time Pro Bowl running back, Chubb had four 1,000-yard seasons with the Browns. He finishes his career with 7,349 rushing yards, 141 receptions, 1,109 receiving yards, and 59 (54 rushing, five receiving) total touchdowns. |

Seahawks | Tory Horton to miss time Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (undisclosed) will be miss some time because of an undisclosed injury, according to head coach Mike MacDonald.
| Footballguys view: MacDonald was asked further about the injury and simply replied, "Sorry, I just don't want to tell you." This might be related to the shin injury that bothered Horton a year ago, or it might be a new situation. Until we get more information about the injury, we'll just take a wait-and-see approach with Horton. When the team traded for Rashid Shaheed last year, it dinged the dynasty value of Horton as he's a similarly skilled player. |
Jets | Omar Cooper having inconsistent camp Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has been struggling to create consistent separation during practices and has also been inconsistent with his fundamentals, in the opinion of JetsWire's Justin Melo. Cooper may have regained his spot as the Jets' WR3 behind WR1 Garrett Wilson and WR2 Adonai Mitchell.
| Footballguys view: The rookie has some work to do, but the talent is there for him to one day be a productive receiver in the NFL. He can make plays as a deep weapon on the outside, or Cooper can work on shorter targets from the slot. In super deep leagues, Cooper may be someone to throw a dart at as a late-round scratch ticket. Cooper caught 1-of-1 targets for nine yards in Friday's preseason game against the Steelers. |
Texans | Sterling Shepard, Zay Jones joining HOU Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
Free-agent WR Sterling Shepard (Buccaneers) and WR Zay Jones (Cardinals) agreed to terms with the Houston Texans Friday, Aug. 21, according to a source. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Jayden Higgins (knee) out for the year, the Texans needed to add more depth to the wide receiver room. With the Cardinals, Jones caught 12 passes for 183 yards before rupturing an Achilles tendon in Week 10 against Seattle last year. Shepard played in 13 games for the Buccaneers last year and caught 39 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown. While they give the Texans veteran depth, Fantasy GMs have much better options as late-round fliers in deep leagues. |

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (ankle, foot) did not play in the preseason game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars Friday, Aug. 21, because of a twisted ankle and foot soreness, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: In early August, Legette suffered what reporters called a 'stinger,' and now he's dealing with two more problems (ankle/foot). Legette had his ankle rolled up on in practice Wednesday, Aug. 19, and it is uncertain how much time he will miss. |

Broncos | Riley Moss injury update Sat Aug 22, 09:37 AM
Denver Broncos CB Riley Moss (ribs) is doing 'good' after exiting the team's preseason contest against the Green Bay Packers Friday, Aug. 21, according to head coach Sean Payton. He sustained an injury to his rib area in the first quarter and did not return to the game.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Until we get more reports about this injury, it seems like Moss could be out there against the Chiefs in Week 1. In a contract year in 2026, Moss is set to get a big payday if he plays like he did in the last half of the 2025 season. |
