Falcons | Bijan Robinson sitting out drills as he awaits a new deal Wed Jul 29, 10:48 AM
Per multiple reporters from Falcons training camp, running back Bijan Robinson is not participating in practice on Wednesday. Video from Alison Mastrangelo of WSB-TV shows Robinson on the field without a helmet and not performing drills. While head coach Kevin Stefanski did not address the situation in his press conference before the start of practice, this is likely due to Robinson seeking a new contract.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was a first-team All-Pro in 2025 after leading the league with 2,298 yards from scrimmage. He rushed for 1,478 yards with seven touchdowns and caught 79 passes for 820 yards with four TDs. Robinson is under contract through 2027 after the Falcons exercised his fifth-year option. But his performance over the last three seasons has put him in a position for a contract extension. Robinson's current ADP, RB2, shouldn't change based on this news. But with Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, th RB1, in a similar situation, we'll all be watching these situations closely. |

It appears the Lions have a hold-in on their hands. Via multiple reporters on the scene, running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in Wednesday's practice to open training camp. The Lions posted a picture of Gibbs having reported, which is an indication of a hold-in as opposed to a hold-out.
| Footballguys view: While HC Dan Campbell did not address the situation during his pre-practice press conference, Gibbs is eligible for an extension, and the two sides have reportedly been working toward a deal. Expect Gibbs to become the highest-paid player at his position. The No. 12 overall pick of the 2023 draft, Gibbs has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons. In 2025, he rushed for 1,223 yards with 13 touchdowns while catching 77 passes for 616 yards with five TDs. He's being drafted with the first pick overall in fantasy drafts. This situation shouldn't change that. |

The Falcons' quarterback competition is on hold as the team starts training camp on Wednesday. HC Kevin Stefanski said that Tua Tagovailoa will not practice after an injury "flared up." Stefanski did not specify the injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the quarterback is dealing with back tightness.
| Footballguys view: Stefanski said the injury is not considered serious and that they expect him back sooner rather than later. The head coach also said that Michael Penix Jr. has not been cleared for team drills, so neither of the players vying for the starting job in Atlanta is participating in practice at this point. The Falcons are expected to sign former Cowboys and Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush to give them another option at the position as they wait for Tagovailoa and Penix to get the green light for full practice activities. We'll continue to monitor. |

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: On the field, 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. Whether he gets a new deal or plays out the current contract, Olave is a solid fantasy prospect with a WR12 ADP. |
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team have not come to an agreement on a contract extension, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. The sides are done negotiating and Mayfield will play this season under his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times and Greg Auman of FOX Sports both report that the talks have finished with the quarterback reporting to training camp on Tuesday. Mayfield will now have a cap number of $39.975 million in 2026 on the last year of his deal. Depending on how the season goes, the Buccaneers could franchise tag Mayfield in the 2027 offseason. That would put Mayfield in a position to earn $47.97 million on the one-year franchise tender. Whatever the case, Mayfield is once again betting on himself, a tactic that's worked well for him in the past. |

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) will not start Texans' training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell said in June that he felt he'd be ready to go at the start of training camp and it appears the Texans agree with his assessment of his health. The speedy wideout missed all of last season after suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024 and was able to do limited work during the team's offseason program. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons. His progress is notable and if he builds on it early in camp, expect his WRxx ADP to rise. |

Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (undisclosed) will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: According to According to SI.com, it's not clear what's occurred in his situation. The second-year wideout participated fully in the Texans' offseason program without any reported injury, so something happened since the last time the team was practicing. The issue could be something as simple as an illness, or it might be a more serious injury that could keep him out of participating in practice longer. Noel was expected to compete for first-team reps in the slot after a promising finish to his rookie campaign. We'll follow up as more information comes to light. |
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 27. 'I think we'll see him play football tomorrow,' New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The team's first-round draft pick (No. 8 overall) didn't do much on-field practice work after the first day of rookie minicamp as the team sought to manage the recurrence of a hamstring injury he suffered before he was drafted. Expect the Saints to be cautious, with Tyson ramping up to being able to fully participate in practice. |

Cleveland Browns CB Denzel Ward and the Browns have agreed on a two-year contract extension worth $62.2 million, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: The $31.1 million annual average value makes Ward the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time in his career. In the aftermath of the Browns' dealing defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in June, Ward became Cleveland's longest-tenured player. Last season, Ward recorded 39 tackles and an interception in 15 games played. The No. 4 pick in the 2018 draft, Ward has 18 interceptions, 104 passes defended, and 361 tackles in eight seasons. |

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. |

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. |
