Lions | Isiah Pacheco has sprained MCL Mon Aug 10, 11:40 AM
Detroit Lions RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Campbell suggested Pacheo will miss some time. Campbell said he expects Pacheco to return before Detroit's Week 1 home contest against the New Orleans Saints and that he's "not concerned" about the injury. Expect Pacheco to remain the top backup to Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco's primary competition for snaps behind Gibbs, Sione Vaki, is currently sidelined by a broken nose. |
Lions | Cade Mays out a while Mon Aug 10, 11:39 AM
Detroit Lions C Cade Mays (wrist) suffered a wrist injury, and head coach Dan Campbell said Mays will miss a significant amount of time.
| Footballguys view: A source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Mays fractured a small bone in his wrist that is expected to sideline him roughly eight to 10 weeks. Without Mays, the Lions are expected to try Juice Scruggs at center as they attempt to find the best fit at the position before the season opener against New Orleans on Sept. 13. According to Footballguys offensive line analyst Matt Bitonti, the loss of Mays drops Detroit from 16th to 19th in his O-line rankings. Bitonti added that Scruggs might be a slightly better run blocker than Mays. |

Link to story Patriots | Hunter Henry extended Mon Aug 10, 09:46 AM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry signed a two-year, $16 million extension Monday, Aug. 10. The deal is worth up to $20 million and includes $14.5 million guaranteed and a $4.2 million signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: Henry has been one of quarterback Drake Maye's go-to targets in critical situations. Henry has logged 40-plus receptions in each of his five seasons with the Patriots, which is the second-longest streak by a Patriots tight end all time behind Ben Coates' six. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he totaled a career-high 768 receiving yards and enters this year third on the franchise's all-time list for receptions among tight ends (259). Henry, who finished 2025 as TE9, is being drafted as TE19. |

Commanders | Laremy Tunsil could miss season Mon Aug 10, 09:45 AM
Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) could miss the entire season, but they'll have a better timeline after he undergoes surgery on his torn triceps.
| Footballguys view: Tunsil's injury is a crucial blow to the Commanders' offense, costing it a player considered one of the best at his position. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Brandon Coleman will be Washington's starting left tackle during Tunsil's absence. The Commanders are not planning to look outside the organization for additional help at the position, according to Quinn. Coleman started 12 games at left tackle as a rookie in 2024 and three more last year when Tunsil was injured. He had been competing with Chris Paul at left guard this year. |
Bears | Luther Burden III expected to miss preseason; should be ready Week 1 Mon Aug 10, 09:18 AM
Chicago WR Luther Burden III is expected to miss the preseason due to the strained groin injury he suffered Saturday. Still, the Bears believe he should be back for the team's regular-season opener vs. the Panthers, per sources.
| Footballguys view: While this isn't great news for Burden investors, an extended absence will almost certainly drive his price down for those who haven't drafted yet. We'll monitor closely, but for those able to handle the risk, there will be some value created. Meanwhile, QB Caleb Williams will rely on Rome Odunze, running back D'Andre Swift, and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet as his main options while Burden is sidelined unless one of the depth wide receivers steps up. |
Packers | Zach Bako-Bewele makes his return Mon Aug 10, 03:34 AM
Green Bay Packers OT Zach Bako-Bewele (knee) took his first 11-on-11 reps of training camp Sunday, Aug. 9, since undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon in the offseason.

Colts | Daniel Jones unlikely to play Thursday Mon Aug 10, 01:11 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones is expected to practice in a joint session with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, Aug. 11, but he is not expected to play in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy investors shouldn't read anything into this. According to The Athletic's James Boyd, the 29-year-old signal caller has looked about as healthy as anyone could have hoped, considering he's only eight months removed from undergoing surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon. Boyd added that Jones has been sharp in camp, with his accuracy and velocity turning heads, but it's his mobility that's really stood out. He's taken off on a handful of scrambles, and it's impossible to tell he was ever injured. Boyd's reporting mirrors what we've heard from others, yet Jones is still going as QB24. |

Buccaneers | Chris Godwin returning to form? Mon Aug 10, 12:58 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is 'a lot healthier right now' than he has been in recent years, according to head coach Todd Bowles. 'He is still a playmaker for us, and he makes big plays in the passing and blocking game,' Bowles said. 'He is peaking at the right time.'
| Footballguys view: In addition to being healthy, ESPN's Jenna Laine reports that Godwin has looked "energized: throughout practices, and we've seen him show some versatility in lining up all over the formation. According to Footballguy Matt Waldman, Godwin will likely be Baker Mayfield's favorite red-zone target and contend for the team lead in touchdowns. Waldman added, "The danger of a decline is near," but at Godwin's price -- he's WR40 -- the risk isn't great. |

Ravens | Tyler Loop locked in Mon Aug 10, 12:55 AM
Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop made all eight of his field goal attempts during practice Sunday, Aug. 9, including three kicks from 50-plus yards.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Loop had a great rookie year after the team drafted him in the sixth round to replace longtime kicker Justin Tucker, but he missed a kick to win the AFC North and send the team to the playoffs against the Steelers. So there was some question about how he would respond in 2026. So far, so good. There are no signs that Loop's confidence has been permanently shaken. |
Bills | Skyler Bell might struggle to routinely play Mon Aug 10, 12:55 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell has shown good separation skills and releases at the line during scrimmages. However, Bell's ball skills have held him back, and he appears to be behind the top four WRs DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer at this point.
| Footballguys view: While Bell is expected to be a roster lock, his game-day role is expected to be determined by how he finishes through the team's three preseason games. Especially if the Bills keep Mecole Hardman as a sixth receiver and their primary punt returner, the Athletic's Joe Buscaglia contends it wouldn't be stunning if Bell begins the regular season as a healthy scratch. |
Colts | Nick Westbrook-Ikhine battling for WR3 job Mon Aug 10, 12:50 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been having a great training camp, and he has strengthened his case to be the team's third receiver behind WRs Josh Downs and Alec Pierce.
| Footballguys view: While veterans Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell have made a few plays, neither has been as consistent as Westbrook-Ikhine. According to The Athletic's James Boyd, the 29-year-old always seems to be in the right place at the right time, and the chemistry he's building with Daniel Jones is easy to notice. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off a down year with the Miami Dolphins (11 receptions, 89 yards in 15 games). However, he totaled 32 catches for 497 yards and nine touchdowns with the Tennessee Titans in 2024, and so far, he's showing he's still capable of being a quality contributor. |

Green Bay Packers DL Javon Hargrave (knee) was on the practice field Sunday, Aug. 9, for the first time at training camp. He missed the final part of the team's offseason program due to 'a little flare up', and he started camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. He did individual drills Sunday. 'Going to meetings and not being able to watch yourself is just a different feeling,' Hargrave said. 'It was just good to be out there to do something.'

Link to story Bears | Burden's injury a minor groin strain Sun Aug 9, 05:16 PM
Ian Rapoport of ESPN/NFL Network reports that Bears WR Luther Burden III's injury from Saturday was a groin strain, and that he will miss "a little bit of time".
| Footballguys view: This isn't the best news we could have hoped for, but as long as Burden is back in practice by the end of the month, it should be a non-factor for his season outlook. Our injury expert Adam Hutchison said his database puts the average missed time for a WR groin strain at two weeks with only 14% going over five weeks - when the injury would affect Burden's availability for regular season games. |
Colts | DJ Giddens nursing hamstring injury Sun Aug 9, 05:13 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, allowing rookie RB Seth McGowan to take first- and second-team reps. Giddens has also dropped a few passes in training camp when he has been on the field. RB Ulysses Bentley IV has also made a push for the third job, putting additional pressure on Giddens.

Lions | Veteran backup Josh Dobbs added Sun Aug 9, 03:41 PM
Free-agent QB Josh Dobbs (Patriots) signed a one-year, $1.425 million deal Sunday, Aug. 9, with $475,000 fully guaranteed, national beat writers Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport reported. The team moved quickly to add Dobbs after QB Teddy Bridgewater surprisingly elected to retire Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Dobbs has experience under Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing when they were together in Arizona, so this should be a smooth transition in the wake of Bridgewater's unforeseen decision to retire. |

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling back on the field Sun Aug 9, 03:01 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) was back at practice Saturday, Aug. 8, and he was able to catch balls from multiple quarterbacks on multiple routes, making several splash plays. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Stribling has been picking things up in a hurry.
| Footballguys view: Finally some good news about a 49ers injury situation. With Ricky Pearsall already on the shelf for the year and veterans Christian Kirk and Mike Evans dealing with injuries, Stribling has a clear path to playing time right away. He should be on your late round target list. |
49ers | Dre Greenlaw returns to team drills Sun Aug 9, 03:00 PM

49ers | Mike Evans appears close to full strength Sun Aug 9, 02:43 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Saturday, Aug. 8, but he was able to work on the side. Evans reportedly appears close to full strength, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans likely feels like he can return right now, but the team wants to be smart with the veteran receiver.
| Footballguys view: We just want to see Evans get in some practices intermittently with veteran rest days mixed in to feel ok about taking him at ADP. Evans is often available in the fifth round even though he should be the clear #1 target in a productive passing game. The age/injury risk is more than baked into his cost. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan dealing with hip flexor strain Sun Aug 9, 02:09 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (hip) missed practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to a strained hip flexor, according to league sources. The team is hopeful he'll be able to return in about a week. Jordan has reportedly had a strong camp, as he battles RB Noah Whittington for the No. 3 job behind new starter RB David Montgomery and primary backup RB Woody Marks.
| Footballguys view: Jordan had a 100 yard game late in the season and clicked in the team's running game more than Marks did, so he was a player of note on our waiver wire watch list. Whittington is a swiss army knife back, more like Marks, so if he makes the team as the #3 over Jordan, he's less of a threat to Marks' upside if David Montgomery misses time during the season. |

Packers | Christopher Brooks back at practice Sun Aug 9, 01:45 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks (hamstring) was able to take part in an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9. He was practicing for the first time at training camp after starting on the non-football injury (NFI) list due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Brooks had a chance to seize the backup RB job behind Josh Jacobs after the team let Emanuel Wilson walk as a restricted free agent, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd finally had a healthy offseason after seeing the Meyer Institute of Sport and learning how his recovery from a 2020 ACL tear had him overcompensating still, which caused a myriad of injuries. Lloyd is the back to target late in drafts behind Jacobs, who is dealing with a minor groin issue. |

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) did not take part in a closed indoor practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to a toe injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
| Footballguys view: Of this and Jayden Reed's ankle injury, this might be slightly more worrisome because Golden's game is more predicated on speed, and toe issues can keep a receiver from being able to really open up the throttle. We will still trust coach LaFleur that this is not something to worry about re: Golden's outlook this season as long as he's back at practice soon. |
Packers | Jayden Reed sits to rest ankle Sun Aug 9, 01:33 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (ankle) did not at an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to an ankle injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
| Footballguys view: Matthew Golden also has a toe issue, so the Packers wide receivers are a little banged up right now. As long as Reed and Golden are back at practice soon, we will just chalk this up to normal camp wear and tear as players round into shape. |
