New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has 'a realistic possibility' to play in Week 1, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: Nabers should be able to avoid the PUP list according to this report. That means he could participate in a limited fashion at the start of training camp. We're not sure how much (if at all) Nabers will play in the preseason, but this is a positive update as he continues to recover from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short last September. |
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan is expected to play 'a lot more big slot' in 2026, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: This report indicates we could see the team double the amount of snaps McMillan had at 'big slot' last year. That could put him in the nearly 30 percent range of routes run against safeties and linebackers. McMillan has a current ADP of WR17 (4.02) and getting more 'big slot' opportunities will help him perform up to expectations. |
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' returning to practice.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Panthers here. Brooks is set to be in an RBBC with Chubba Hubbard, and reports from the spring indicate Brooks has looked incredible. He's going off the board near the turn at the end of the 8th round (RB39), and Brooks certainly provides upside to do more if he can stay healthy. |
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza signed a four-year, $57.27 million deal that is fully guaranteed and includes a fifth-year option on Thursday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: The no.1 overall pick is signed, and now we wait to see how long it takes for him to get into the starting lineup. The Raiders have Kirk Cousins as the seasoned veteran to likely begin the regular season as the starter. We imagine it won't take long for Mendoza to get out there. Perhaps in the middle of the season we'll see the rookie take over. |
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith should see extra targets coming his way in 2026 following the trade of WR AJ Brown. Head coach Nick Sirianni is 'excited' about the opportunities he will have.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be excited about what Smith could do this year. There has been plenty of buzz about Smith being the Eagles version of Jaxon Smith-Njigba - meaning he's going to be in line for a ton of targets. He is going off the board near the beginning of the third round in 12-team PPR leagues. There's no doubt Smith could post WR1 numbers in 2026. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is expected to have 'a big year' from his head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Tuten steps into the lead role for the Jaguars with Travis Etienne gone. He's got a ton of speed and can eat up yards in a hurry. Tuten should win the starting job, but Chris Rodriguez will split time with him. We like Tuten as an RB3 with upside for Fantasy GMs. He has a current ADP around the turn near the end of the sixth round of standard formats. |
Carolina Panthers DE Nic Scourton (knee) was carted off the field in practice Thursday, July 23, with a right knee injury.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) said he still has no power in his left leg after suffering a dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears in Week 4 last season. 'So it's about 10 months after doing two surgeries,' Hill said. 'My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg, so I'm trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it's one day at a time.'
| Footballguys view: Hill didn't add a timeline for his recovery, but he did say that his timeline is "looking real good right now." Well, it seems like Hill is not going to be ready to play until late in the regular season or perhaps into the postseason. We'll see how many teams show interest when Hill is closer to playing. |

Free-agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo (Rams) said he is open to playing in 2026 in the right situation.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo is not yet going to retire, although that's been a consideration for the veteran quarterback. Instead, he'll wait for the right situation (likely a Super Bowl contender) to open up. When injuries hit in camp and the regular season, there's likely a few teams that will have Garoppolo in mind in case of emergency. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett reported for the start of training camp Wednesday, July 22, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Brissett wants to be paid as a starter, and he's been in talks with the team about getting a new contract that pays him appropriately. While talks may be ongoing, there's a chance Brissett is going to 'hold in' as things shake out. They have Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck as starting options if things go astray with Brissett. |

Free-agent RB Joe Mixon (Texans) has told former teammates his career is likely over due to his foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Mixon missed all of 2025 with this foot injury. He had surgery last year, and reports indicate the injury required another surgery. Mixon is on the mend, but he might never be able to be cleared to play again. He might be cleared to play later this season, but it seems like a long shot to see him ever suit up in the NFL again. |

Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) will miss some time during training camp following right ankle surgery, but he is expected to be ready for Week 1.

Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders fourth-round draft choice CB Jermod McCoy signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Wednesday, July 22. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks TE Harrison Bryant was released Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: Bryant signed with the Seahawks in April after spending last season with the Texans. He has previously spent time with the Eagles, Raiders, and Browns. A.J. Barner and Elijah Arroyo are the tight ends of interest in this offense, although neither is being drafted as a front-line fantasy prospect. |

New England Patriots second-round draft choice DE Gabe Jacas still has not signed his rookie contract at this point.
Link to storyFree-agent TE Thomas Odukoya (Patriots) recently worked out for the New England Patriots.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Deebo Samuel (Commanders) said he is looking to continue his playing career and will be ready to play once the right opportunity comes around.
| Footballguys view: Samuel became a free agent in March when his contract with the Commanders expired. In a YouTube video, Samuel told viewers he's ready to hit the ground running once a chance to play materializes. Samuel scored 42 touchdowns as a receiver and runner over six seasons with the 49ers. He caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns after being traded to the Commanders last year. That production was down from his best years with the Niners, and it remains to be seen where he might get a chance to show he still has a lot in the tank. |

Free agent LB Riley Wilson (Buccaneers) signed with the New England Patriots on Wednesday, July 22. No terms of the deal were made available.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett should be in attendance at the start of training camp for the team, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Brissett will presumably be in attendance, but CBSSports.com suggests the veteran quarterback could still stage a "hold-in" due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Rapoport, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure. |
