Vikings | Minnesota remains hopeful with J.J. McCarthy Tue Aug 11, 03:06 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy 'has a future with the organization,' according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Kyler Murray was named the starting quarterback on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert, McCarthy showed incremental progress this summer but could not close the sizable gap that already existed with Murray. At 23, he is younger than most of the quarterbacks in the NFL's 2026 draft class. But after losing his entire rookie season to a torn meniscus in his right knee and then producing a season underwhelming enough that O'Connell sought out Murray, there is no longer an obvious path for him to recapture the job unless Murray is injured. |
Seahawks | Jadarian Price misses practice again Tue Aug 11, 02:56 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper body soreness) missed his third straight day of practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: While HC Mike Macdonald told reporters Price is going to be hard to keep off the field, the rookie will have to be healthy. That's likely why Macdonald said the team was in no rush to get Price back on the field before the preseason opener. For what it's worth, George Holani is listed as the RB1 on the team's first unofficial depth chart. Price is listed as the RB2. Look for Price to return to practice soon and, assuming the glowing reviews he's been drawing are legitimate, move to the top of the depth chart. |
Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez listed as co-starters Tue Aug 11, 02:53 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: HC Liam Coen said last month that the team is expecting Tuten to have a big year for them, but Tuten has not nailed down the top spot on the depth chart. As CBSSports.com reminded readers, preseason depth charts can often be taken with a grain of salt. Still, in this case the "Tuten or Rodriguez" listing aligns with the notion that the Jaguars will employ a committee approach -- possibly resulting in Tuten and Rodriguez forming a 1A/1B combo. Adding to the intrigue, LeQuint Allen could factor in on third downs. Stay tuned. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson will start first preseason game Tue Aug 11, 01:49 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson will start Thursday's preseason game against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Richardson has been competing with Riley Leonard in training camp to win the No. 2 job behind starter Daniel Jones. Leonard, HC Shane Steichen said, will play the second half before picking up the start in Week 2 of the preseason, with Richardson slated to relieve him in that game. The Colts do not plan to play Jones during the preseason. As James Boyd of The Athletic suggests, what makes the news of Richardson starting Thursday night against the Patriots most intriguing is his open trade request. This game could serve as a showcase for Richardson. |

Colts | Josh Downs returns to practice Tue Aug 11, 01:26 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, Indianapolis isn't entering this season with enough proven depth to comfortably absorb long-term injuries at wide receiver, where Alec Pierce has yet to return to full practice. That makes Downs' return from a groin injury even more significant. He missed practices over the weekend, but head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated the injury was not serious, and getting him back on the field Tuesday is an encouraging development. Downs is being drafted as WR43, a price that doesn't fully take his WR2 role into account. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs to miss at least another week Tue Aug 11, 01:24 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will miss 'at least' another week of practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs dealt with numerous injuries last season, finishing with 929 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns in 15 games (all starts). He also had 36 receptions for 282 yards and a score. MarShawn Lloyd has been a bright spot in training camp, LaFleur said, and is likely to work with the No. 1 offense in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. We'll have more on Jacobs as further details come to light. |

Packers | Matthew Golden back at practice Tue Aug 11, 01:21 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: While there were big expectations for Golden in his rookie year, he didn't get as many targets as expected. In 2025, Golden had 29 receptions for 361 yards. As Packers Talk suggested, this year there is more hope for Golden. The former first-round pick has already entrenched himself as one of the three starting WRs. He worked with the first team upon return Tuesday. Most likely, Golden will start as one of the Packers' outside receivers. He's being drafted as WR48. There's room for upside there. |
Vikings | Minnesota named Kyler Murray their starting QB Tue Aug 11, 12:39 PM
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Vikings have named Kyler Murray their starting QB.
| Footballguys view: Murray, a two-time Pro Bowler and former No. 1 overall pick, was the favorite over J.J. McCarthy, whose second season was plagued by injuries and poor play that necessitated a competition this offseason. This will mark the fifth different Week 1 starter in Kevin O'Connell's six seasons as the Vikings' head coach -- and the fourth in four years. Murray is still seeking his first playoff win with the team, but this move is good news for Justin Jefferson, who struggled with McCarthy as his QB last year. |

Seahawks | Rave reviews for Jadarian Price Tue Aug 11, 11:44 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is going to be hard to keep off of the field, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald said Price 'doesn't feel like a rookie' based on his attention to detail and coachability.
| Footballguys view: While HC Mike Macdonald told reporters the running back rotation will feature "two, possibly three guys in a game plan," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler contends Price will be hard to keep off the field. Teammate Julian Love says Price's burst is "like a prime Dalvin Cook." And A.J. Barner added that Price has a knack for following the "track" that blockers create. Seattle likes to spread the wealth at tailback, but Price's profile should only grow as we approach September. |
Ravens | Zay Flowers back at practice Tue Aug 11, 11:31 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter did not sound too concerned about Flowers after Monday's practice, so it is not too surprising to hear that he's back in the mix. Flowers, who finished as WR7 last year, is being drafted as WR15. |

Seahawks | AJ Barner moving up pecking order Tue Aug 11, 11:24 AM
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner said the team will use two tight ends very often in 2026. This will help facilitate the motions and shifts, a staple of the San Francisco 49ers offense from which offensive coordinator Brian Fleury came from. This facet has moved Barner up the pecking order in the offense, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN noted, Barner is an ascending tight end who should come into his own in Year 3. He's finally healthy after multiple offseason surgeries. And Fleury's offense should accelerate his progress. Barner can do a little bit of everything. But he made a point of emphasizing another tight end when asked about up-and-comers on the roster: Elijah Arroyo. Those two will be working off of each other a lot in 2026 as a strength of the offense. Barner is being drafted as TE24; Arroyo is TE61. |
Colts | Ballard: Alec Pierce didn't have a second PRP injection Tue Aug 11, 10:47 AM
Addressing reporters on Wednesday in response to reports on Tuesday night that Alec Pierce has a second PRP injection after his ankle surgery, Colts GM Chris Ballard denied the second injection happened. According to Ballard, Pierce had a single platelet-rich plasma injection in January. He had surgery in March. Ballard added there's been no setback, but he's not specifying a timeline.
| Footballguys view: Profootballtalk reports the current plan in Indy is still for Pierce to be available at the start of the regular season, but there are obviously a lot of moving pieces here. Fantasy investors should monitor closely before investing in Pierce -- even at his discounted WR37 ADP. |
Colts | Alec Pierce gets another PRP injection to speed healing Tue Aug 11, 02:17 AM
Colts WR Alec Pierce received another PRP injection in his left ankle, a league source confirms to The Athletic's James Boyd.
| Footballguys view: Pierce underwent left ankle surgery in March. This is the second time he's received a platelet-rich plasma injection this offseason. It's not clear when Pierce received the injection. The Indianapolis Star reports the injection wasn't due to a setback in his rehab; instead, the wideout sought the additional procedure to help with lingering soreness and speed up the healing process. The team is yet to offer a concrete update on when the receiver will be back on the field, two weeks after GM Chris Ballard told reporters Pierce was "probably still a week or two away." Stay tuned. |
49ers | Increasing confidence that George Kittle will be ready for Week 1 Tue Aug 11, 02:12 AM
49ers star tight end George Kittle continues to make terrific progress working back from the torn Achilles he suffered in January, and there's a high level of confidence at this point that he'll end up being able to play Week 1 vs. the Rams, sources tell CBSSports' Matt Zenitz.
| Footballguys view: On Monday, Kittle was doing what ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner characterized as "the most strenuous workout the media has seen him do: in this camp on the side as he continues to work his way back. Kittle was running routes and catching passes during individual drills. Kittle is being drafted as TE9, which suggests the fantasy hive mind is open to an early return. |

Eagles | Hamstring continues to sideline DeVonta Smith Tue Aug 11, 01:34 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed practice on Monday, Aug. 10. It was the fifth practice in a row that Smith has missed due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Fellow wideouts Makai Lemon and Britain Covey have also been absent due to hamstring injuries, leaving Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as the team's top healthy wideouts. Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper should also see more first-team snaps as a result. We'll continue monitoring, but as CBSSports.com notes, Smith's hamstring injury is seemingly minor, and the lengthy absence is a precaution. |

Eagles | Makai Lemon misses fifth straight Tue Aug 11, 01:28 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not practice on Monday, Aug. 10, marking the fifth consecutive practice he's missed due a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: The team is not expressing any long-term concern, but these are meaningful reps -- especially for a rookie. Lemon missed minicamp as well with a hamstring injury. He has served primarily as the starting slot receiver when healthy, but hasn't produced many splash moments to date. It's important that Jalen Hurts gets as many snaps as possible with his skill players as the offense breaks in a new system in the post A.J. Brown era. We'll continue to monitor. |
Giants | No practice for Abdul Carter Tue Aug 11, 01:16 AM

Los Angeles Chargers OT Rashawn Slater (knee) was held out of practice for a third straight day on Monday, Aug. 10. Slater's absence was initially reported as being part of a veteran's rest day, but ESPN's Kris Rhim writes that the fact that Slater hasn't returned to practice 'suggests there may be more to it.'

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy makes partial return Tue Aug 11, 12:54 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) returned to the practice field on Monday, Aug. 10, but he was limited to individual work and did not take part in 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 reps.
| Footballguys view: Worthy, who missed last week's practices with a sprained right shoulder, could be a full participant later this week ahead of the preseason opener Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. We'll watch for more on that, and suggest that as WR49, a healthy Worthy's 10th round price is appealing. |
Titans | Carnell Tate continues to shine Tue Aug 11, 12:34 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed during his first training camp, per ESPN's Turron Davenport, who writes that the rookie's ability to run the full route tree is among his 'standout traits.'
| Footballguys view: According to Davenport, Tate was on the receiving end of three touchdown passes from Cam Ward on Monday. The rookie wideout caught a deep pass for a score on a go route and made an impressive catch over CBCor'Dale Flott in the corner of the end zone on another play, and he caught a quick out-breaking route for his third score. "Tate has an innate ability to attack the ball," Titans receivers coach Greg Lewis said after practice. "He can make contested catches. He has long speed and is really smooth." He's being drafted as WR30. |
Colts | Anthony Richardson not a lock for backup job Tue Aug 11, 12:25 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson is 'in a fight' for the No. 2 quarterback position with QB Riley Leonard, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder, who writes that both players have dealt with inconsistency thus far in camp.
| Footballguys view: Richardson requested a trade in February and was granted permission to speak with other clubs to see if a deal might materialize. Nothing did, so Richardson is back trying to re-establish himself with the organization. Richardson on Sunday said his accuracy needs to be more consistent. He and Leonard will split preseason snaps as their competition continues. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman sit out Tue Aug 11, 12:21 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 10.
| Footballguys view: Mike McCarthy said Pittman got banged up during the team's Saturday night practice, but the coach didn't disclose any issue with Metcalf. McCarthy has been tight-lipped about injuries and recovery timelines throughout camp. We'll be watching for more. With the pair out, Roman Wilson led off the wide receiver drills as de facto WR1. |

Texans | Brevin Jordan dealing with injury Tue Aug 11, 12:20 AM
Houston Texans TE Brevin Jordan (knee) is considered day-to-day because of a knee injury, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: As Fansided's Clayton Anderson noted, after missing the last two NFL seasons due to multiple knee injuries, Jordan's opportunities to show his value to the organization were slowly dissipating. That said, there is no reason to believe it's a severe injury at this point. It does put his availability for Thursday's preseason game versus the Chargers into question. According to CBSSports.com, until Jordan is back, rookie second-rounder Marlin Klein could see an uptick in reps. |
