49ers | No practice for Kaelon Black Mon Aug 3, 01:49 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of an adductor issue.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) is considered day-to-day because of a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Let's hope that this is a short absence for Stribling, who the team is going to need to play right away with Ricky Pearsall on the shelf for the entire season. As long as he gets back to practice in a few days and doesn't have a recurrence of this issue, Stribling will have a place on our late round target list. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of strained quadriceps.
| Footballguys view: Evans already had some injury worries simply because of age and his track record lately. The 49ers injury curse isn't helping here, as he is now the fourth 49ers wide receiver to miss time with an injury this summer. The team signed Deebo Samuel to help, and second round pick De'Zhaun Stribling could play a large role, but he is dealing with hamstring tightness. |

Cleveland Browns LB Carson Schwesinger (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of a minor undisclosed injury.
Link to storyWashington Commanders LB Kain Medrano (hamstring) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, Aug. 3.

Link to storyKansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained shoulder but is expected to return to practice later this week, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: This checks out as a minor injury, but it won't help us believe that Worthy will be able to stay healthy and hit his ceiling this season. Tyquan Thornton would be the next man up in the deep passing game, and rookie fifth round pick Cyrus Allen was also earning time with the first team and Patrick Mahomes before he got banged up as a punt gunner in practice earlier this week. |
Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) is expected to return to practice at some point this week, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers TE RJ Maryland (hamstring) and CB Carrington Valentine (hamstring) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of hamstring injuries.

Chicago Bears S Coby Bryant (knee) was carted off the field Monday, Aug. 3, and he was grabbing his left knee.
Link to storyNew York Giants TE Isaiah Likely is expected to be a utility weapon rather than a traditional tight end, and the team seems intent on featuring him in all three levels. The Giants move him throughout the formation, and he has displayed clear early chemistry with QB Jaxson Dart.
| Footballguys view: Consider Likely the replacement for Wan'Dale Robinson, who gave Jaxson Dart a high percentage target in the short range passing game last year. Robinson is with the Titans now, where he will play that same role for Cam Ward. Likely, like Robinson, followed his previous head coach to a new team, so we shouldn't worry about how he is viewed. Head coach John Harbaugh has already said that Likely's stats will go up in his new home. |
Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) returned to practice Monday, Aug. 3.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa should have ample opportunity to set the bar high for Michael Penix Jr. to reach to make this a competition when he returns from ACL surgery. Penix should be back by the end of the month if he doesn't have any setbacks, but Tagovailoa's quick trigger and experience should make him the favorite. |

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (leg) is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson. 'We're taking it day-by-day,' Johnson said. 'It should be on the shorter side.'
| Footballguys view: He returned to practice today, so Johnson's relative lack of concern appears to be appropriate. As long as Monangai doesn't have a recurrence of the injury, this shouldn't change his fantasy outlook. The lack of information did alarm the fantasy community, but now that the absence has been addressed, we can go back to DEFCON 5 on the Monangai injury alert. |
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty changed his diet this offseason and has dropped down to 207 pounds.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers DE David Walker (knee) resumed practicing at training camp after missing all of last season with a knee injury. 'He's got his quickness and his speed back,' head coach Todd Bowles said. 'So as a pass rusher, he's looked very good as far as his movements and everything else.'
Link to storyDetroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs watched practice from the sidelines Sunday, Aug. 2, but he has yet to participate since training camp began as he waits for a new contract.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) is dealing with a left hamstring injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Morrison missed time last season with a right hamstring injury. 'Hopefully he gets some work in this coming week,' Bowles said. 'I would like to see. He was out here moving around better, but I'll see what the trainer says.'

Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders RB Chris Collier (undisclosed) was moved to the Reserve/Injured list Sunday, Aug. 2, after clearing waivers.
Link to storyFree-agent RB Khalil Herbert (Jets) signed with the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, Aug. 2. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Herbert could be getting snaps as the backup to Christian McCaffrey right away, as all three of the players behind him - Isaac Guerendo, Jordan James, and Kaelon Black - are dealing with injuries. |

New Orleans Saints WR Ja'Lynn Polk was placed on the Reserve/Retired list Sunday, Aug. 2.
Link to storyPhiladelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks had 'another quality practice' on Saturday, Aug. 1, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wicks should get first shot to replace AJ Brown at X receiver. He flashed earlier in his career with the Packers, but inconsistent hands and injuries slowed his development before the Eagles traded for him earlier in the offseason. He should be on our waiver wire watch list, although first round pick Makai Lemon should also have a sizeable role in the passing game and could steal Wicks opportunity if he shows he can hang with NFL corners outside of the slot. |

San Francisco 49ers BR Kaelon Black (undisclosed) did not finish practice Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: Jordan James is out for a few weeks with a broken rib and Isaac Guerendo is on the PUP while he recovers from a torn pec he suffered lifting weights about three months ago. The return of Deebo Samuel helps the backfield depth to an extent, but the 49ers felt the need to sign a running back today - Khalil Herbert, who was once flirting with fantasy relevance during his time with the Bears. |
Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas said he has been leaning on QB Tyson Bagent for advice. 'Every time I have a question before practice or after practice, I go to him,' Thomas said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas was also seen getting chewed out by head coach Ben Johnson during a practice. Johnson is strict, which is part of the reason Luther Burden and Colston Loveland had to work up to their roles at the end of the season. We shouldn't expect a big impact from Thomas early on. In fact, if he does pop before Halloween, that's a great sign for his future and how much he can help add a dimension to this ascendant offense. |
Free-agent DE Jadeveon Clowney (Cowboys) agreed to terms with the Houston Texans Sunday, Aug. 2, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Link to storyDetroit Lions LB Jimmy Rolder (leg) is expected to miss some time because of a leg injury he suffered Friday, July 31, but the injury is not considered serious, according to sources.
Link to storyAtlanta Falcons OT Jawaan Taylor (arm, elbow) may be cleared to practice in the next several days or weeks, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Taylor is currently on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier is listed as the starting running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here as the Cardinals signed Allgeier to a two year, $12.25 million deal this offseason. Allgeier was a thorn in the side of Bijan Robinson fantasy teams during Robinson's rookie year after the Falcons took him in the top ten, and he is set to do that again to Jeremiyah Love, although Love is going a full round or more after Robinson - who had a late first round ADP - did in fantasy drafts when he was a rookie. If Love is going to hit this year, it's going to have to be with his passing game and big play contributions, because Allgeier isn't going away, and short yardage running is one of his strengths. |
Minnesota Vikings RB Demond Claiborne (undisclosed) did not participate in team drills during practice Saturday, Aug. 1.
Link to storyDetroit Lions DT Alim McNeill (neck) participated in practice Sunday, Aug. 2, after being evaluated for a neck injury after practice Friday, July 31.

Buffalo Bills RBs James Cook, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis have been noticeably more involved in the passing game during the early part of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Alaina Getzenberg.
| Footballguys view: We have heard a steady drumbeat about James Cook being more involved as a receiver this year after the team hired Pete Carmichael as offensive coordinator. Carmichael was one of the architects of Alvin Kamara's big seasons as a receiving running back in New Orleans. Cook has proven that he can put up RB1 numbers on the strength of his touchdown upside in 2024, and his rushing title winning productivity as a runner last year. We still haven't seen what he can with more work in the passing game, and Cook was drafted by the Bills in the 2022 second round in part because of his receiving skills. It's reasonable to take him in the second half of the first round, and maybe even ahead of Jonathan Taylor. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) received a few snaps during team drills Sunday, Aug. 2, for the first time since the start of training camp. He is being eased back into practice since he had offseason foot surgery.
| Footballguys view: Bhayshul Tuten has done everything he can to show the Jaguars that he can be a true lead back while Rodriguez has been on the mend from offseason foot surgery. Tuten's ADP should be going up and Rodriguez's down knowing that Rodriguez won't have much of a chance to answer Tuten's performance this summer. The good news for Rodriguez is that head coach Liam Coen has basically said that he knows what Rodriguez can do from their time together at the University of Kentucky. There's room for both backs to be hits at ADP if the Jaguars running game gets on track this year. |
