Vikings | Kyler Murray gaining momentum in QB battle Fri Aug 7, 01:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray has shown 'plenty of indications' that he remains the favorite to win the team's starting quarterback job, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
| Footballguys view: The tenor around this quarterback battle has changed in the last 2-3 days, with JJ McCarthy disappointing in his time on the practice field. Kevin O'Connell could be on the verge of calling this for Murray and giving him all of the first team reps to better prepare for the upcoming season. Carson Wentz is also on the roster, so McCarthy is going to fall to third string quarterback and could be traded if there is any team that will give draft capital to assume the requirements of his rookie contract. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy sits Friday Fri Aug 7, 10:45 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) remains out of practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs reassured us that this was minor when it happened earlier in the week, but the injury is to the same shoulder that basically ruined his 2025 when he dislocated it in a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce. Tyquan Thornton becomes a more attractive late round sleeper with every day that Worthy misses, as he has already demonstrated great deep ball chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, and the team brought him back on a two year, $11 million deal this offseason. |
Chiefs | Cyrus Allen returns to practice Fri Aug 7, 09:58 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) returned to practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: Allen's absence from practice was short, which is good news because Xavier Worthy is out right now with a shoulder injury. Allen has created enough buzz and had enough snaps with the starters to think that he has a real chance to play a lot right away and be a fantasy factor if he continues to dominate practice like he did before suffering a shin injury in punt gunner drills. Allen should be on your late round target list. |
Bills | O'Cyrus Torrence lands big deal Fri Aug 7, 09:40 AM
Buffalo Bills OG O'Cyrus Torrence agreed to a four-year, $78.4 million extension Friday, Aug. 7. The deal includes $46 million guaranteed, and he becomes the seventh highest-paid guard in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Torrence was a second-round pick in 2023 for the Bills and he has been everything the team hoped he would be. Their other starting guard from 2025, David Edwards, was signed to a big contract by the Saints this offseason. Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett are competing to replace Edwards at left guard, the only spot on the line that will have turnover from the 2025 lineup. |

Lions | Three-year extension makes Jahmyr Gibbs the NFL's highest-paid RB Thu Aug 6, 05:41 PM
Three-time Pro-Bowl selection Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions reached agreement today on a three-year, $67.5 million deal that could be worth up to $75.75 million and includes $51.5 million guaranteed, now making him the NFL's highest-paid running back.
| Footballguys view: Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor getting news deals seemed likely to generate some movement in Detroit, and here we are. Gibbs set a career-high with 320 touches and played the most snaps of his three-year career in 2025. This year, the arrival of new OC Drew Petzing and the departure of RB David Montgomery put Gibbs in position to do even more. He is one of the league's most dangerous playmakers in one of its most prolific offenses. Already going with the first pick overall in drafts this year, getting back to work will lend further confidence in Gibbs' ADP. |

Link to story Jets | Isaiah Davis to miss a few weeks Thu Aug 6, 04:40 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |

Link to story Browns | Solid practice for Deshaun Watson Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson 'had his best day to date' at training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The bar for "best day of camp yet" is very low for Watson, who had thrown six interceptions before this session. Shedeur Sanders has outplayed Watson, and there's buzz building that last year's third round pick Dillon Gabriel also deserves more snaps with the ones - and maybe should be included in the battle to start Week 1. It feels unlikely that Watson will make up enough ground to start. |

Buccaneers | Tez Johnson tweaked groin Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson (groin) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 4, to receive treatment for a groin injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Jalen McMillan is also dealing with a knee issue that has him sidelined indefinitely, so rookie third round pick Ted Hurst will get more work with Baker Mayfield and the starters for now. He could move onto our late round target list with strong performances in practice. Johnson was having a great summer before his injury. As long as he gets better soon and goes into the season as a primary backup receiver for the Bucs at multiple positions, we should keep Johnson on our waiver wire watch list. |
Lions | Sione Vaki to miss time Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Detroit Lions RB Sione Vaki (nose) will miss time after suffering a broken nose during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'We think he'll be OK,' Campbell said. 'He's just gonna need a minute here. It's just one of those freak things.'
| Footballguys view: Vaki hasn't been able to stay on the field enough to push Isiah Pacheco for snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs yet. This injury shouldn't affect Vaki for long, but it still solidifies Pacheco's status as the #2 running back after some speculated that Vaki could threaten his hold on the job. |
49ers | Hip issue for Jacob Cowing Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of a hip flexor strain.
| Footballguys view: With this injury, Demarcus Robinson is now the only healthy 49ers wide receiver among the top six on their depth chart. Ricky Pearsall is out for the year, but Cowing and the others aren't expected to be out for long. It's still an ominous trend when you combine it with three of the team's top four running backs being out, leaving only Christian McCaffrey as healthy enough to practice right now. |

Raiders | Dare Ogunbowale signs with Las Vegas Thu Aug 6, 02:33 PM
Free agent RB Dare Ogunbowale (Texans) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Ogunbowale is accomplished passing down back and he can also contribute on special teams. This complicates the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty, but fourth round size/speed back Mike Washington Jr. is still the favorite to get early down work if Jeanty goes down. |
