Link to storyRaiders head coach Klint Kubiak announced Tuesday that four-time Pro Bowl selection Kirk Cousins will be the starting quarterback over first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to begin training camp. "When we go out to practice [on Wednesday], Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback," Kubiak said. "He's the guy, and he deserves it because he's played really good football. But I want Fernando and Aidan [O'Connell] to push him."
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden notes, Kubiak's decision comes as no surprise. Cousins, who signed with Las Vegas in April, played the majority of the first-team reps during the offseason program and looked "excellent," according to Kubiak. Meanwhile, Mendoza played with the second and third team along with Aidan O'Connell. However, how many reps each quarterback will have with a particular group will be a "moving target," Kubiak said. As for Mendoza, Kubiak wants to see how well the newcomer handles adversity, his ability to correct mistakes, and his demeanor. In the meantime, Cousins is it. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (blood clot) is now 'full go' and 'has no restrictions' as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Olave missed Week 18 because of a blood clot in his lung, and the team limited his work during the spring in order to continue monitoring the situation. On Tuesday, GM Mickey Loomis said that Olave has been given the green light to do everything during this summer's practices. Olave's three-game stretch to finish the season was impressive. He was WR2 from Weeks 15 through 17. He's being drafted as WR12. |
Free-agent PK Lenny Kreig (Jets) and TE Thomas Yassmin (Chargers) have been signed by the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, July 28. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed. The Packers also released LB Dante Barnett.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has no set timetable for a return, but the Seahawks are 'going to be smart with him', in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Breer went on to suggest that Charbonnet's readiness for Week 1 looms as "a potential close call" -- and the Seahawks are going to be smart with him, in the hopes that they get his best when it matters most. As such, first-round pick Jadarian Price is a pivotal figure. Even with all the talk about Charbonnet being ahead of schedule, his surgery didn't take place until February. The usual nine-month turnaround indicates a November return. We'll continue watching for more, but the Week 1 talk seems overly optimistic. |

Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (calf) is not ready to practice yet, according to general manager Ryan Poles.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (leg) told the media he is a 'full go' for practice on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was limited during the offseason program as a result of a hamstring injury. Although it didn't truly seem like it was serious at the time, there was a looming worry that McConkey's start to the season (or at least training camp) would be delayed as a result. Now that he's ready to, FanSided's G.C. Bellchamber believes McConkey should quickly become Los Angeles' primary offensive weapon in Mike McDaniel's YAC-centric scheme. McConkey is being drafted as WR20, a number he's capable of outperforming. |
Indianapolis Colts DL DeForest Buckner (neck) has been cleared for practice on Tuesday, July 28.

According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, the Giants have been targeting a Week 1 return for Malik Nabers.
| Footballguys view: We finally got some concrete news on Nabers' status when we learned the star wideout won't be on the physically unable to perform list when training camp opens Wednesday. By keeping Nabers off the list, the Giants can integrate him into practice as he progresses. He will have a reduced workload early in camp, but the team will have the freedom to determine his participation on a day-to-day basis. Even if Nabers isn't ready for the opener, the Giants can evaluate him weekly rather than locking in a four-game absence. |

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard says the plan is to keep QB Daniel Jones, QB Riley Leonard, and QB Anthony Richardson 'as of now.'
| Footballguys view: That despite the fact that Richardson's trade request, made earlier this year, remains in place. "It is. I think they're realistic and we're realistic," GM Chris Ballard said. "We're not just giving him away, not going to do that." As Profootballtalk.com points out, Ballard's comments suggest the Colts' commitment to keeping all three quarterbacks could shift if another team makes an aggressive play for the 2023 first-round pick. The absence of such a play this offseason may mean that it will take an injury elsewhere in the league for someone to offer the Colts anything that would change their mind. |

Green Bay Packers K Lucas Havrisik was waived by the team on Tuesday, July 28.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons is expected to miss 'the first month and a half of the season,' according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.
| Footballguys view: Schneidman believes Parsons ' return in Week 6 is the best-case scenario. Nine months of no football gives him a practice return of Week 4 prep and a couple of weeks to ramp up. "Never doubt a guy with his physical gifts," Schneidman said, "but we also don't know how the rest of his rehab will go." Stay tuned. |

Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy will both get first-team reps as they compete for the starting job in training camp, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: In announcing the plan for the two QBs to share reps, HC Kevin O'Connell told reporters the Vikings are looking to see who can elevate those around them and run the offense with comfort. The shared snaps were expected. Murray still seems like the favorite, but McCarthy reportedly closed the gap in the team's final mini-camp. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Minnesota Vikings OT Brian O'Neill signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the team on Tuesday, July 28.
Link to storyThe Athletic's Matt Schneidman, appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, reported: "Tucker Kraft told us that he expects to play in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings."
| Footballguys view: Although he opened camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Kraft has been targeting a Week 1 return from the torn ACL he suffered last season. We'll continue to monitor that. Kraft can be activated from the PUP list at any time. In addition to being ready to play, Schneidman told viewers he wouldn't be surprised if Kraft becomes the "highest paid tight end in the league in the next couple of weeks." |

Carolina Panthers TE Mitchell Evans was carted off the field at practice on Tuesday, July 28. It appeared as a lower-body injury with no details shared at the time of reporting.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (knee) is a week or two away from practicing, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Pierce, who underwent offseason ankle surgery, was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday. He can come off the list at any time. Remember, the Colts re-signed Pierce this offseason and paid him to be their WR1. It would be great to see him get some work in that role before the season starts. If he's healthy, that role and his WR36 ADP would offer a substantial potential reward for the risk. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team haven't made significant progress on a contract extension as his self-imposed deadline nears Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield, who is set to report to training camp on Tuesday without a new contract, has publicly stated that he does not want to continue negotiations past the start of camp. After signing a three-year, $100 million deal during the 2024 offseason, there's one year left on his current contract. It was recently reported that Mayfield would be willing to play under the franchise tag in 2027, which would be a one-year deal worth $47.97 million. But that, of course, depends on the Buccaneers electing to tag him. We'll continue to monitor, but there's no immediate fantasy impact. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers confirmed Tuesday, July 28, this is his final season.
| Footballguys view: It's not the first time Rodgers has laid out his plan. The four-time MVP will turn 43 during the season. While he has more experience leading the Steelers to the postseason than any other quarterback on the roster, Rodgers isn't getting any younger from here. While anybody can have a change of heart, Dynasty managers should take him at his word and plan accordingly. |

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been fully cleared for training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Achane is expected to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season, and the expectation was that he would be ready for training camp. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health. Achane has been a high-end producer since his rookie season, but with the Dolphins starting a rebuild, 2026 will be the biggest challenge of his career. The uncertainty due to the changing circumstances has Achane falling into Round 2. |

Carolina Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (toe) was activated from the non-football injury list Tuesday, July 28. He suffered a cut on his toe while running that required stitches and has been running on the side during practices.
| Footballguys view: Horn landed on the list as camp opened last week due to a cut on his foot. He worked on side fields while the rest of the Panthers practiced last week, and Tuesday's move clears him for a full slate of activities. Tuesday's practice will be the first fully padded one of the summer for the defending NFC South champions. Four Panthers remain on the team's injury lists, and offensive tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton are expected to remain out into the regular season. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is reportedly making the most of the opportunity before him and has impressed in the early days of training camp, in the opinion of The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: According to Condotta, what has stood out the most is Price's pass-catching and apparent knack for understanding pass protection. Those were two things he wasn't asked to do a lot at Notre Dame. Those were cited as concerns by many analysts when the Seahawks selected him 32nd overall. Head coach Mike Macdonald suggested that Price has a chance to become an immediate starter with Ken Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet still sidelined while recovering from an ACL injury suffered in January. Contributing to the passing game would open the door to that. |
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner (undisclosed) is 'feeling really good' after two offseason surgeries in the spring, according to a source on Monday, July 27. Barner avoided the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and will likely have his reps in training camp managed.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggested, Barner's availability to open camp is a positive early sign after he missed offseason workouts due to a pair of undisclosed surgeries. The 2024 fourth-rounder is looking to defend his role as the Seahawks' clear top tight end in a room that also includes second-year option Elijah Arroyo. Barner started all 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 52 catches (on 68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns. |
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh will be waived by the Seahawks, according to a source on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: The 2023 seventh-round pick began training camp on PUP while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last summer. HC Mike Macdonald recently said McIntosh would return this season, but he left the impression it wouldn't be soon. |
