Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard,' Schottenheimer said.

Free agent WR Deebo Samuel is signing back with the 49ers. The former Commanders and San Francisco pass-catcher returns where it all began on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million.
| Footballguys view: With Ricky Pearsall's status murky with a PCL injury dating back to last season and Christian Kirk missing time with a calf injury, a reunion makes sense. As 49ers Webzone's David Bonilla suggested, Samuel wouldn't represent a long-term solution at wide receiver, but the 49ers still believe they're in a championship window. Adding an experienced, proven playmaker is the right move. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million.
| Footballguys view: Olave now ranks no.6 in the NFL (tied with DK Metcalf) for an AAV of $33 million, and the contract includes $90 million in guaranteed money. He had been held out of team drills early in camp because of this contract situation, and the Saints got it done. Expect Olave to post borderline WR1 numbers this year. He's got a current ADP of WR13 (3.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he does not have a timetable for his return and that he will play when he is ready.
| Footballguys view: He has been participating in individual drills during training camp. Reports indicate Nabers has been running routes for weeks, so there's a chance he's ready to play against the Cowboys in Week 1. Coming off a major injury, Fantasy GMs will continue to watch his status through camp. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, July 30, because of a hamstring injury. He did not practice Wednesday, July 29, because of the injury.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza said he is fine being the second quarterback behind QB Kirk Cousins and is more focused on improving his play each day.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza is unlikely to start in Week 1. We should see Cousins as the starter for the Raiders to begin the 2026 season. However, at some point this year the no.1 overall pick should see the field. |

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will miss the entire 2026 season if he needs to undergo surgery on his injured knee, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.
| Footballguys view: This is the same PCL injury that bothered him last year. Pearsall was recovering this offseason, but getting him fully healthy may not be in the cards this season. Maiocco is a veteran reporter who is not prone for hyperbole, so this news item is certainly one to watch. We'll see if Pearsall has to undergo surgery to correct the issue. |
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions OT Giovanni Manu (undisclosed) could miss 12 to 14 weeks because of his injury, according to head coach Dan Campbell.

Free-agent TE Taysom Hill (Saints) is still deciding if he will continue his playing career but indicated he will not be re-signing with the New Orleans Saints if he plays in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Hill spent nine years with the Saints as a TE/QB/Swiss Army knife player. He may not have many suitors based on his age and declining skill set. However, Broncos HC Sean Payton used Hill in a variety of ways. Hill turns 36 in August, but he could be a versatile reserve tight end and quarterback for the Broncos. Stay tuned. |

Philadelphia Eagles DE Jonathan Greenard (pectoral) is expected to miss most of training camp because of his injury and may not practice at all during camp, according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery on his torn lateral collateral ligament and will miss the entire 2026 season, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell should be placed on Injured Reserve in the near future. The initial thought was Brazzell might be able to avoid surgery. Instead, the Panthers are looking at long-term health for their rookie receiver. He should be 100 percent ready for training camp next year. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he is disappointed that the Buccaneers only offered him a two-year contract extension and that the team did not offer anything close to the $50 million per season he was looking for in the negotiations.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is coming off a down season, and without a new contract he's got a chance to break the bank with a bounce-back year. The Buccaneers were unwilling to commit to Mayfield in terms of annual salary and contract length. Anything is possible, but it seems like this could be Mayfield's final year with the Buccaneers. Mayfield has a current ADP of QB18 (11.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
