Free-agent Darren Waller (Dolphins) has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Waller was retired but played for the Dolphins in nine games last year, scoring six touchdowns while catching 24 passes for 283 yards. The Panthers should use him as a red-zone target, and Waller should rotate snaps with guys like Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, and Ja'Tavion Sanders. The situation and Waller's ability near pay dirt make him a consideration as a low-end TE2 with upside. |

Link to storyNew York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) could start participating in team drills as soon as next week, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is making his way back from the knee injury that shortened his 2025 season after just four games. Barring any sort of setback, Nabers should be able to start against the Cowboys in Week 1 of the regular season. His injury status is baked into his ADP, and currently Nabers is going off the board at WR15 (3.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

New Orleans saints OG Dillon Radunz (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Aug. 12.
Link to storyNew York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
| Footballguys view: The team moved up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select Cooper at no.30 overall. He's an outside or slot target who can win with run-after-the-catch ability (think young Deebo Samuel here). The Indiana wideout should be the team's no.3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. |
New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams has been one of the standout performers during training camp and is pushing for the No. 3 receiver job, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard has a bright future with the team but needs to work on learning the offensive playbook inside and out, according to QB Aaron Rodgers.
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (toe) suffered a toe injury during practice Wednesday, Aug. 12, but the injury is not believed to be serious, according to source.
| Footballguys view: We're not going to be alarmists here, but toe injuries can be turf toe injuries...and those can linger. If sources say the injury is not considered serious, then all we can do is monitor Egbuka for the rest of training camp and the preseason. If healthy and ready for Week 1 (and this report makes it sound like he should be), Egbuka is a WR2/flex with upside for Fantasy GMs on a weekly basis. |
Cincinnati Bengals CB Daxton Hill (undisclosed) and S Bryan Cook (undisclosed) will not play in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 12, and will continue to be evaluated next week.

Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett will play a series or two along with the other starters during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 14.
| Footballguys view: Brissett got his new contract around the start of camp, and he's set to start in Week 1. They may not win many games with Brissett as their starter, but the wide receivers do benefit from a veteran under center. Even though Brissett will begin the season as the starter, there's a chance they have an eye on the future and give Carson Beck a look late in the year. |

Cleveland Browns DT Michael Hall Jr. (undisclosed) has been sidelined for over a week because of an injury, but head coach Todd Monken said the team hopes Hall returns to practice soon.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will each start one of the next two preseason games, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: Watson and Sanders have been rotating reps this summer. Monken said the starting quarterback will play the first half of the preseason game, while the other quarterback will play the third quarter of the game. We'll likely see a decision made after the second preseason game. No matter the decision, Fantasy GMs won't find much value here. |
