Head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Tuesday that Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy will both work with the first team as he makes his decision about who will be under center for Week 1. On Wednesday, we saw Murray in the lead spot. Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports that Murray was the first man up when the Vikings moved into 11-on-11 work and that he hit wide receiver Jordan Addison for a 30-yard gain.
| Footballguys view: The first practice of training camp also served as the kickoff for the final stage of their quarterback competition. "I'm not really too focused on the long-term vision of it," Murray said before practice. "I'm focused on the process, and that's day to day, coming out here with this walkthrough and then practice later . . . Prove to the coaches and guys what I'm capable of." As PFT notes, McCarthy will get his chances to prove the same point, and all of the developments on the field in Minnesota will be closely followed until O'Connell makes his call. |

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. says he'll be "full-go" for training camp after missing the offseason program due to groin surgery.
| Footballguys view: Adding to that, Akron Beacon Journal staffer Chris Easterling told us last week that team officials weren't at all concerned about Fannin's health. Now we have more confirmation of that. Fannin, who suffered the injury in Week 17 last season, said he was cleared about two weeks ago. He reported to camp last week with rookies and QBs and has been practicing. Fannin is currently being drafted as TE6, and we expect him to play a major role in Todd Monken's offense. |
New York Jets CB D'Angelo Ponds (calf) suffered a strained calf during practice Wednesday, July 29, but head coach Aaron Glenn said the injury is not believed to be serious.

Green Bay Packers LS Matthew Orzech (calf) is not practicing because of a calf injury.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave (neck) is on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list because of neck injury, and the team will be cautious with his return, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggests, if Musgrave is able to return to the practice field in short order, he may benefit from increased reps as Tucker Kraft (ACL), who is also on the active/PUP list, progresses in his own recovery. That said, Kraft expects to resume practicing soon and to be on the field for Week 1. His presence would obviously limit Musgrave's opportunities. |

Detroit Lions OT Giovanni Manu (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Wednesday, July 29.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will share snaps with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: This is no surprise. Watson has been viewed as the frontrunner for the starting job most of the offseason, but Sanders was closing the gap as OTAs wound down. This now sounds like a real competition. It's worth noting that Watson and Sanders continued working with teammates this month, with the team's top receivers, Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Cedric Tillman, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston, among the attendees at the workouts in Miami. This one bears watching. |

Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst said earlier Wednesday that tight end Tucker Kraft will return "sooner rather than later." Kraft, who is on the active/physically unable to perform list, echoed that later Wednesday. Kraft said he expects to begin practicing "very soon," Ryan Wood of PackersNews.com reports.
| Footballguys view: Kraft tore the ACL in his right knee in a Nov. 2 game against the Panthers. He underwent surgery later that month. The season opener on Sept. 13 is still 46 days away, which is why Gutekunst says Kraft's participation in Week 1 is "very much a possibility." Kraft caught 32 passes for 489 yards and six touchdowns in the eight games last season before his injury. Based on Kraft's TE5 ADP, fantasy investors are buying the early return. |

The Lions and Falcons are each dealing with apparent hold-ins by their respective star running backs. While Jonathan Taylor is not on his first pro deal, he is in a contract year. But he's not taking the same approach with the Colts. Taylor was on the field practicing with the team on Wednesday and said after the session that he feels like an extension is on its way. "There have been some good conversations, but I have faith between my agent and the front office," Taylor said. "I would love to be a Colt for life, and I have faith that things are moving in the right direction."
| Footballguys view: Taylor signed a three-year, $42 million extension with Indianapolis midway through the 2023 season. He's No. 1 in franchise history with 69 rushing touchdowns and No. 2 in rushing yards, needing 1,629 to take over the No. 1 spot from Hall of Famer Edgerrin James. Taylor is being drafted as RB4 this so far this year. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James suffered a rib fracture in practice on Monday, July 29. There is no timeline for his return.
| Footballguys view: Even without a specific timetable, it's safe to assume James will miss some time. He was competing with rookie Kaelon Black for San Francisco's RB2 job behind Christian McCaffrey. While recent reports suggested James had the lead in the competition, NBCSports.com's Jennifer Lee Chan told us earlier this month that she expects Black to make a push in August. At the very least, James' injury opens the door to more opportunities for the rookie to prove himself. |
Joe Person of The Athletic reports that Panthers rookie WR Chris Brazzell suffered an LCL tear that is expected to keep him out for up to eight weeks.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell, the team's third-round pick in April's draft, was injured in Wednesday's training camp practice. He went down during a 7-on-7 drill and had to be carted off the field. Head coach Dave Canales said that Brazzell was held out of a couple of earlier practices because of knee soreness, although Person reports that the injury is not believed to be related to the previous issue. The Panthers saw linebacker Nic Scourton go down with a torn ACL during practice last week, so it has been a rough start to camp on both sides of the ball for Carolina. |
Malik Nabers has been running, cutting, running routes, and taking part in individual drills, per Joe Schoen.
| Footballguys view: Schoen, kicking off camp with a presser, told reporters "we're gonna see" with Nabers and that the Giants will "listen to the patient." Schoen added, "Hopefully he'll be ready," but "no predictions right now." Again, the fact that Nabers isn't opening camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list is a better initial outcome than expected. We'll continue to monitor, but expect Nabers' WR18 ADP to rise. |

New Orleans Saints DL Bryan Bresee is feared to have suffered a torn ACL at practice on Wednesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: Bresee was a 2023 first-round pick in New Orleans, and he started all 15 games he played during the 2025 season. He has 86 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 49 career games for the team. The Saints exercised Bresee's fifth-year option this offseason, so he is under contract for next season. |

Cleveland Browns S Grant Delpit signed a three-year extension worth $48 million, with $35 million guaranteed, on Wednesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick in 2020, Delpit missed his rookie season due to a torn Achilles suffered at practice in late August. He has since appeared in 78 games with 68 starts for Cleveland, delivering seven career interceptions with 21 passes defensed. He's also registered 6.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, and 17 quarterback hits. |

WR Ricky Pearsall is dealing with knee swelling related to the PCL injury he suffered last year. The 49ers say "all options" are being explored, and there is some "concern."
| Footballguys view: Injuries and bad luck have limited Pearsall since he arrived in San Francisco. So far, he has played 20 games and 13 starts over the past two seasons. Pearsall only has 928 yards over that time. He averaged a below-average 1.31 yards per route run during his rookie year. However, that jumped to 1.68 in his second NFL season. He has produced, but not enough. Today's news is made worse because recent reports suggested he appeared to be gaining ground so far this year. We'll watch for more. |

Panthers WR Chris Brazzell aggravated the same left knee today that he missed a couple of recent practices for due to soreness, per HC Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell, who was working his way into earning reps as a speedy field stretcher, is currently undergoing tests on that knee. We'll follow up as needed. |

Michael Penix Jr. told reporters that while it could be sooner, it might be four weeks before he's cleared to practice. How his body feels during camp will be a determining factor.
| Footballguys view: There was hope that Penix would be ready for that work at this point in his ACL rehab, but the quarterback said that everyone is taking a cautious approach to the final steps in his recovery. "I feel like I can do everything," Penix said. "But I have to be still smart about it. I can't afford to have somebody trip and fall and land on me right now." That's true, but a four-week timeline all but ensures Tua Tagovailoa is the Week 1 starter. |

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, the RB1, in a similar situation, we'll all be watching these situations closely. |
