  Browns | Solid practice for Deshaun Watson     Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson 'had his best day to date' at training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: The bar for "best day of camp yet" is very low for Watson, who had thrown six interceptions before this session. Shedeur Sanders has outplayed Watson, and there's buzz building that last year's third round pick Dillon Gabriel also deserves more snaps with the ones - and maybe should be included in the battle to start Week 1. It feels unlikely that Watson will make up enough ground to start.

  Buccaneers | Tez Johnson tweaked groin    Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson (groin) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 4, to receive treatment for a groin injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

Footballguys view: Jalen McMillan is also dealing with a knee issue that has him sidelined indefinitely, so rookie third round pick Ted Hurst will get more work with Baker Mayfield and the starters for now. He could move onto our late round target list with strong performances in practice. Johnson was having a great summer before his injury. As long as he gets better soon and goes into the season as a primary backup receiver for the Bucs at multiple positions, we should keep Johnson on our waiver wire watch list.

  Lions | Sione Vaki to miss time    Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM

Detroit Lions RB Sione Vaki (nose) will miss time after suffering a broken nose during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'We think he'll be OK,' Campbell said. 'He's just gonna need a minute here. It's just one of those freak things.'

Footballguys view: Vaki hasn't been able to stay on the field enough to push Isiah Pacheco for snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs yet. This injury shouldn't affect Vaki for long, but it still solidifies Pacheco's status as the #2 running back after some speculated that Vaki could threaten his hold on the job.

  49ers | Hip issue for Jacob Cowing    Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of a hip flexor strain.

Footballguys view: With this injury, Demarcus Robinson is now the only healthy 49ers wide receiver among the top six on their depth chart. Ricky Pearsall is out for the year, but Cowing and the others aren't expected to be out for long. It's still an ominous trend when you combine it with three of the team's top four running backs being out, leaving only Christian McCaffrey as healthy enough to practice right now.

  Raiders | Dare Ogunbowale signs with Las Vegas    Thu Aug 6, 02:33 PM

Free agent RB Dare Ogunbowale (Texans) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Ogunbowale is accomplished passing down back and he can also contribute on special teams. This complicates the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty, but fourth round size/speed back Mike Washington Jr. is still the favorite to get early down work if Jeanty goes down.

  Packers | Josh Jacobs misses practice    Thu Aug 6, 02:26 PM

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. The injury isn't considered to be long-term.

Footballguys view: It's not a serious injury, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd has had an impressive camp - and more importantly stayed healthy so far after two injury-riddled seasons in the NFL. Jacobs could have more company in the backfield than he has in the past, and it's fair to wonder if he is wearing down after logging at least 260 touches in each of the first seven years of his career.

San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) is back at practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. He has not practiced since Saturday.

Footballguys view: Finally a piece of good news about the 49ers wide receivers and injuries. If Stribling can stay on the practice field, he should be in line for a large role to begin the season. The #33 overall pick should be on your late round target list.

  Patriots | No practice for Romeo Doubs for second straight day    Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM

New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5 or Thursday, Aug. 6.

Footballguys view: It's not clear yet what Doubs' issue is, but 2025 UDFA Efton Chism has been seeing more time with the first team while Doubs has been out. This should only fuel speculation that Kayshon Boutte is on the trading block and may not be a Patriot when the season starts.

  Dolphins | Greg Dulcich day-to-day    Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of an undisclosed injury.

Footballguys view: The team has revealed that Dulcich's injury is to his right hand/finger and that he may miss a week or two before he returns. The tight end has a chance to lead the team in targets and receptions because the wide receiver group is inexperienced. The sooner he can take reps with new starting quarterback Malik Willis, the better.

  Broncos | Jaylen Waddle leaves early    Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM

Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) left practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of an undisclosed reason.

Footballguys view: Head coach Sean Payton told the media today that Waddle has a leg strain that will sideline him 4-5 days. As long Waddle returns to practice next week without incident, we can put this behind us, but if Waddle doesn't meet his return to practice timeline expectations or has a recurrence of this injury, we should feel less confident about his ability to stay healthy this season.

  Jaguars | Travis Hunter not on offense often    Thu Aug 6, 11:11 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars CB/WR Travis Hunter took 13 defensive snaps and four offensive snaps Thursday, Aug. 6. He has played 103 total snaps in training camp with 64 on defense and 39 offense. He has one catch on one target.

Footballguys view: That split sounds about right for what we should expect from Hunter this year - about 40% of offensive snaps and 65% of defensive snaps. He could play more than that, but the ratio should be close that proportion even it is on a higher percentage of snaps on both sides of the ball. Hunter is an upside bench stash in fantasy leagues right now, which is in line with this outlook. Early reports have him taking most of his offensive snaps on the outside, which is good news for Parker Washington's fantasy outlook.

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor extended    Thu Aug 6, 09:09 AM

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension Thursday, Aug. 6. The deal includes $39 million guaranteed and is worth a maximum of $47 million.

Footballguys view: Taylor is essential to the team's success, and this is a strong sign that the team agrees. He's a first round pick in fantasy leagues, but James Cook is breathing down his neck to be the next running back off of the board after Christian McCaffrey.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith rests his hammy    Thu Aug 6, 01:50 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was held out of practice for a second straight day on Wednesday, Aug. 5, due to a sore hamstring.

Footballguys view: We're not worried about this yet, but if Smith doesn't return to practice in the next week or so, then we will have to at least consider downgrading him because of the possibility of recurrence during the season, especially early in the season. The Eagles offense can't afford to be without Smith, so expect the team to be conservative with his return to the field.

  Eagles | Makai Lemon out again    Thu Aug 6, 01:44 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) missed practice for a second consecutive day on Wednesday, Aug. 5, due a sore hamstring.

Footballguys view: It's time to start moving Lemon down your redraft board. He missed time this spring, and now is missing practice during the important installation of a new offense. Lemon is also missing out on reps that would strengthen his chemistry with Jalen Hurts. As of now, we should pencil Dontayvion Wicks in as the #2 receiver in Philadelphia.

  Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa likely to start in Week 1    Thu Aug 6, 01:12 AM

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) did more work in 11-on-11 drills on Wednesday, Aug. 5, and ESPN's Marc Raimondi writes that it is 'fair to say Tagovailoa will be the team's Week 1 starter unless something major changes.'

Footballguys view: This is probably based on Michael Penix not having enough time in practice to prove he should be starter because he is still rounding into shape after ACL surgery. Tagovailoa is a good fit for Kevin Stefanski's offense, but he has also had durability issues. Chances are we will see both quarterbacks at some point this season.

  Packers | Matthew Golden to fill Romeo Doubs' role in 2026    Thu Aug 6, 12:08 AM

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden is set to 'step cleanly' into the role that current New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs filled for the Packers last season, according to ESPN's Ben Solak, who notes that with Doubs and Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks gone, there are 131 targets that are available to be filled this year.

Footballguys view: Golden came on late last year, and he has the speed, toughness, and ball skills to a quality downfield target to complement Christian Watson's speed and Jayden Reed's ability to get open from the slot and add yards after the catch. Golden could be a big play threat if he develops and the Packers offensive line gels, but don't let this item scare you off of Reed, who already has proven that he can be a solid WR3/Flex even if he's not always on the field in two wide receiver sets.

  Saints | Barion Brown shining in pads    Wed Aug 5, 09:57 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Barion Brown has impressed in one-on-one drills, and head coach Kellen Moore believes Brown can be more than just a kick returner.

'And when you watch all that exposure and get to know Barion, you're really fired up to have this guy.'
