Panthers | Darren Waller unlikely to play Friday Tue Aug 25, 01:13 AM

Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller will likely be held out of the team's preseason game against the Houston Texans on Friday, Aug. 28. He is expected to take part in some team drills during the joint practice session, however.

Footballguys view: Waller officially signed with the Panthers last Monday. The 33-year-old would not end up taking part in the joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday nor the ensuing preseason contest on Friday. As for this week, when the Houston Texans come to town, Canales says he expects almost the same for the former Pro Bowl pass catcher. Canales also stated that Waller is not expected to suit up for the preseason finale at Bank of America Stadium on Friday.

Panthers | Xavier Legette done for the preseason Tue Aug 25, 01:10 AM

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (ankle, foot) won't take part in joint practices with the Houston Texans on Wednesday, Aug. 26, and won't play in the team's final preseason game. Legette will continue wearing a walking boot through Thursday, Aug. 27, per head coach Dave Canales.

Footballguys view: That boot made an appearance this past Friday, as Legette was sidelined for the Panthers' preseason tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. Legette is coming off a disappointing 2025, where he experienced dips across the board from his rookie campaign. The 2024 first-rounder amassed 35 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns. Carolina will begin their regular season against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Eagles | Makai Lemon believes he'll be ready for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:09 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) believes he'll be ready to play in Week 1, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: Lemon returned to practice last week after an extended absence due to a hamstring injury, and the rookie is confident he'll have enough practice time to be at full speed for the season opener. Lemon dealt with a hamstring injury in the same leg during the offseason program, but said he isn't worried about further issues. The Eagles picked Lemon as part of their plans for life without A.J. Brown in 2026, so anything he can do to ensure he's on the field and playing at a high level over the next few weeks will be welcome in Philadelphia.

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq expected to be ready Tue Aug 25, 01:08 AM

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) is on track to be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.

Footballguys view: All offseason long, the expectation has been that Carolina will have Jonathon Brooks and Hubbard in a timeshare, at least to start the season. Canales confirmed that will indeed be the case, with one back starting a series and the other coming in on third downs. While we're set for a 50-50 split to start the season, we've already seen Canales lean more toward one back if someone is playing better, as we saw with Hubbard and Rico Dowdle last season. So, don't be surprised if one or the other seizes more control of the backfield as the season progresses.

Jets | Breece Hall on track for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:07 AM

New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) should be available for the Week 1 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.

Footballguys view: Hall was spotted on the sideline working with team trainers during Monday's workout which included Hall running at what seemed like something close to full speed. There is no reason for Hall to get back out there against the Giants in the exibition finale, but such a positive update is a great sign. Going as RB16 in Round 3, Hall offers a ton of upside.

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard should be ready for opener Tue Aug 25, 01:05 AM

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Dave Canales.

Footballguys view: All offseason long, the expectation has been that Carolina will have Jonathon Brooks and Hubbard in a timeshare, at least to start the season. Canales confirmed that will indeed be the case, with one back starting a series and the other coming in on third downs. While we're set for a 50-50 split to start the season, we've already seen Canales lean more toward one back if someone is playing better, as we saw with Hubbard and Rico Dowdle last season. So, don't be surprised if one or the other seizes more control of the backfield as the season progresses.

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson leaves practice Tue Aug 25, 01:04 AM

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (undisclosed) left practice early Monday, Aug. 24, after slipping while making a cut.

Footballguys view: As USA Today notes, the extent and exact nature of Henderson's injury was unknown as of Monday night. The second-year running back appeared to have his right ankle/foot area examined by trainers after slipping on the field during practice. Henderson exited practice early after his initial sideline evaluation and went back to the team facility. We'll be watching for more.

Packers | Josh Jacobs returns to full participation Tue Aug 25, 12:59 AM

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) took part in 11-on-11 work for the first time since injuring his groin on Aug. 6. He had previously returned last week in a limited capacity.

Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, although Jacobs hasn't practiced fully in more than two weeks while he's been managing the groin injury, the Packers haven't indicated that his availability for the start of the regular season is in any jeopardy. Even if Jacobs upgrades to full practice participation within the next few days, the Packers still could elect to hold him out of Friday's preseason finale versus the Cardinals as a precaution.

Dolphins | Big things in store for Greg Dulcich? Tue Aug 25, 12:55 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich is a 'candidate to lead the team in targets,' in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.

Footballguys view: The 26-year-old is slated to handle TE1 duties for the Dolphins this season after he caught 26 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown over the final nine games last regular season. As CBSSports.com suggested, a catch-first athlete at the position, there's a world in which Dulcich paces this offense in receiving in 2026 due to the lack of proven playmaking at the wide receiver position.

Jets | Cade Klubnik to be QB2? Tue Aug 25, 12:50 AM

New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will not only be the team's backup quarterback but also the only other quarterback on the 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Rich Cimini, who writes that the Jets are 'eager to see' what they have in Klubnik. That means the team is expected to release QBs Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe.

Footballguys view: As Cimini explained, this is a transition year for the quarterback position. Geno Smith, 35, coming off a down year with the Raiders, is a one-year stopgap. The team probably will draft a quarterback in 2027. In the meantime, they're eager to see what they have in Klubnik, a fourth-round pick -- so eager that it was decided not to bring in legitimate competition for the No. 2 job.

Texans | Serious injury possible for Dylan Horton Tue Aug 25, 12:46 AM

Houston Texans DE Dylan Horton (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice Monday, Aug. 24, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Per multiple reports, Horton tore his Achilles during the team's workout. Horton has been with the Texans since being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. Horton missed the end of his rookie season and the start of the 2024 campaign while battling lymphoma. He has been in remission since March 2024. When healthy, Horton has appeared in 39 regular-season games for the Texans. He had 55 tackles, a half-sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in that action. He also has two tackles in four playoff games.

Patriots | New England likely to keep Behren Morton Tue Aug 25, 12:41 AM

New England Patriots QB Behren Morton has 'earned his way' onto the team's initial 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss, who writes that Morton will be a developmental project, and though ideally he would be on the Patriots' practice squad, it would be 'too risky' to expose him to waivers.

Bills | Mecole Hardman on the bubble Tue Aug 25, 12:17 AM

Buffalo Bills WR Mecole Hardman is currently projected to make the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg, but she adds that the team could change course if they feel someone else, such as kick returner RB Ray Davis, can handle the punt return duties that currently belong to Hardman.

Seattle Seahawks RB Anthony Hankerson was waived Monday, Aug. 24.

Cardinals | Trey Benson waived/injured Mon Aug 24, 04:35 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was waived/injured Monday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: As SBNation's Seth Cox reminded readers, Benson has struggled to stay healthy in his two seasons in the NFL, and then the Arizona Cardinals spent an absurd amount of resources this offseason to fix the issues with the running back room. It left a crowded space with Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and James Conner at the top of the depth chart. Now, the Cardinals have one less decision to make, and the fact that reserve RB Zonovan Knight didn't play against Dallas on Saturday makes even more sense. We'll be watching to see if Benson catches on with another team.

Cardinals | Xavier Weaver placed on IR Mon Aug 24, 04:33 PM

Arizona Cardinals WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 24.

Cardinals | Josh Sweat set to return Mon Aug 24, 04:29 PM

Arizona Cardinals DE Josh Sweat (knee) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: The return of Sweat answers the biggest question hanging over the Cardinals since training camp began. After notching a career-best 12 sacks last season, Sweat did not take part in any voluntary work and then was a surprise addition to the PUP list at the start of camp as he worked on his left knee. The knee has required maintenance since a serious injury when he was in college. The Cardinals, in desperate need of his impact in the pass rush, have three weeks to prepare for the season opener in Los Angeles on Sept. 13.

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love out another week Mon Aug 24, 03:53 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making progress in his recovery but will not participate in practice this week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.

Footballguys view: This is not a surprise. The No. 3 overall pick suffered what's believed to be a high-ankle sprain on the final touch of his exhibition debut against the Raiders two weeks ago. While the Cardinals are hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, there will be no practices in his immediate future. When he was playing, Love looked terrific. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. But expecting a slower start due to this injury would be wise. Love has fallen to RB16 in our latest rankings.

Giants | Theo Johnson leaves early Mon Aug 24, 03:50 PM

New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) left practice Monday, Aug. 24, early after suffering an undisclosed injury.

Footballguys view: Johnson went down while blocking, prompting trainers to rush onto the field. According to local reports, Johnson walked off, slammed his helmet into the grass, ripped off his gloves, pulled his hood up, and headed briskly toward the locker room alone, appearing frustrated. Isaiah Likely has been the fantasy-relevant TE in New York all along, but we'll continue to watch for more on Johnson and report back as developments warrant.
