Link to story Raiders | Ashton Jeanty leaves practice early, serious injury feared Sun Aug 23, 05:41 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (knee) left practice early Sunday, Aug. 23, after suffered an apparent right knee injury. He was attempting a diving catch during the team period, he landed awkwardly, and he was helped off the field by trainers. He also unable to put any pressure on the right leg.
| Footballguys view: The team took a knee and by some accounts some prayers were made. It's not clear yet the nature of the injury, but fantasy drafts are still going on and we aren't scheduled to hear from head coach Klint Kubiak until Tuesday. If you are drafting before we get a clear update, backup RB Mike Washington Jr has been a preseason sensation and should be on your radar around the 7th round, while that is also the earliest you should consider Jeanty, with an emphasis on the conservative side of risk/reward here. We will keep you updated as soon as we know more about this developing situation. |

Browns | Michael Hall Jr. unlikely to make full-time switch Sun Aug 23, 04:29 PM
Cleveland Browns DT Michael Hall Jr. is expected to see some time at defensive end, but head coach Todd Monken said Sunday, Aug. 23, that he doesn't think Hall Jr. will make a full-time switch to the position. However, he does have flexibility along the defensive line, which will help after the team lost DE Alex Wright (Achilles).

| Footballguys view: Everything is proceeding at a pace to expect Nabers to be full go for Week 1 against the Cowboys. His ADP may go up a few spots when he is officially cleared for contact. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price won't play in preseason Sun Aug 23, 02:41 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (leg) will not play in the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 23, against the Tennessee titans, and he is not expected to play in the final preseason game Friday, Aug. 28, against the Kansas City Chiefs, either. He has been limited in practice lately due to what has been termed by head coach Mike Macdonald as 'upper leg soreness'. The coach added, 'He's ramping back. It's not responsible to give him a thousand carries after being down for a minute.'
| Footballguys view: Price has gotten enough endorsements from the coaching staff to expect him to be a lead back for Week 1. It's not clear when Zach Charbonnet will be back from his postseason ACL tear, but the first half of the season in play. Until then, Price will probably be more valuable than Charbonnet or Ken Walker III were when they split the work in the Seahawks backfield last year. |
49ers | Christian McCaffrey back on practice field Sun Aug 23, 02:20 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (muscle tightness) was able to practice Sunday, Aug. 23, for the first time in a little more than two weeks.
| Footballguys view: If you were worried that this absence was ominous in the same way his absence from camp was in 2024 (despite reasasurances), you can rest easy now. |

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling wearing non-contact jersey Sun Aug 23, 02:09 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) was able to return to practice Sunday, Aug. 23, although he was donning a non-contact jersey. He was forced to miss practice Saturday as a result of the ailment.
| Footballguys view: This shouldn't slow down his rise up the fantasy draft board, but it could become a problem if it recurs during the season. The 49ers will give him a lot of targets to harness his speed after the catch, so he'll get the fitness of that injured shoulder tested once the season starts. |
49ers | Deommodore Lenoir back at practice Sun Aug 23, 02:08 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hand) did not practice Sunday, Aug. 23. He has been dealing with a jammed thumb, and he has been wearing a brace on his right hand. Meyers reportedly wants to see some action in a preseason game before the regular season starts, however.
| Footballguys view: If you needed any more confirmation that Parker Washington would be at the top of the Jaguars target pecking order to begin the season, here you go. He is still undervalued in the sixth round of PPR drafts. |

Cleveland Browns DE Alex Wright (Achilles) suffered a ruptured left Achilles during a joint-practice session Thursday, and he was placed on the season-ending reserve/injured list on Sunday, Aug. 23.
| Footballguys view: This won't help a defense that downgraded from Myles Garrett to Jared Verse as marquee edge rusher this offseason. Wright was an up and comer who was expected to play a big role opposite Verse. |
Chargers | Tyler Biadasz officially placed on IR Sun Aug 23, 01:18 PM
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers C Tyler Biadasz (knee) was officially placed on the season-ending reserve/injured list on Sunday, Aug. 23. He suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in his left knee, and additional injuries, during a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Sunday, Aug. 23. However, it still doesn't guarantee Kittle will be ready to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. However, it's a big step in that direction.
| Footballguys view: We would still guess that Kittle does not make the trip to Australia for Week 1, but that he is full go for Week 2 and ready to be put into fantasy lineups. If you take Kittle as your TE1, you'll need to draft another tight end just in case. |

Saints | Devin Neal tweaks hamstring Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara out, Neal had a chance to assert himself as the backup to Travis Etienne for the time being, but instead suffered his second hamstring injury of the summer. Kendre Miller saw his first game action in almost a year and is set to be the #2 back for the moment with Audric Estime also out. This situation remains in flux behind Etienne with three weeks until the season opener at Detroit. |
Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. handles nine touches Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed six times for 26 yards, caught three passes for 22 yards and lost a fumble during the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Tracy's lost fumble was in the red zone, so that makes two big no-no's in the preseason after he got his quarterback blown up by whiffing on a pass block last week. Najee Harris should be the backup as soon as he is football shape. Tracy wasn't seen as a cut candidate last week, but that could change, or he could be shopped for a late round pick swap. Either way, his dynasty value is plummeting. |
Rams | Stetson Bennett sharp Saturday Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Stetson Bennett completed 19 of his 31 passes for 181 yards and rushed twice for nine yards and two touchdowns during the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: First round pick Ty Simpson had a great preseason debut last week, but Bennett showed in the second preseason game that he should be the backup to Matthew Stafford to open the season. Bennett will be a free agent next year, so this tape will be studied. Keep Bennett on your superflex dynasty waiver wire watch list. |
Stetson Bennett IV player page
49ers | Jordan James back at practice Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James (rib) returned to practice Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Kaelon Black was outstanding in the second preseason game and the rookie should be considered the favorite to be the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey, who is still missing practice because of "soreness". The 49ers have been happy with James' performance, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy since the team drafted him in the fifth round last year. He could still figure into a committee behind McCaffrey if he can reverse that trend, but Black is the running back to target late in your draft if you have misgivings about McCaffrey's ability to stay on the field this year. |
Dolphins | Chris Bell not in uniform today Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was cleared for practice earlier in the week, but after taking part in pregame warmups in uniform, he is not in uniform for the game, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: We shouldn't expect Bell to be a contributor right away, but now that he has been activated from the NFI list, he should start the season on the active roster. Fellow third round pick Caleb Douglas should get a chance to be the primary deep threat while Bell is rounding into form. Bell should be ready to play at some point in the first month of the season, which is good news for quarterback Malik Willis in his first season as the Dolphins starting quarterback. |
Ravens | Multiple RBs not playing Saturday Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
Baltimore Ravens RBs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Adam Randall are not playing during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22. RB Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) is not playing because of an injury.
| Footballguys view: That the fifth round pick (and personal choice of owner Steve Bisciotti) Randall was sitting with the established veteran backs is a good sign that the new staff has seen everything they need to see from him. Randall's dynasty value is on the rise and he would probably be the best waiver wire add if Derrick Henry goes down. |
