Texans | Torn ACL for Jayden Higgins Wed Aug 19, 01:04 PM
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during a joint practice Tuesday, Aug. 18, and will miss the 2026 season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Higgins was poised to take a big step forward this year, so this is a bummer for the Texans offense and CJ Stroud. Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel - who just returned from a hamstring injury and also missed time with a finger injury this summer - will pick up some of the slack, but the team could also just lean into the multi-tight end set trend that will help David Montgomery and the running game. Tank Dell was in street clothes at practice recently and the team said he is on his own plan regarding a timetable to return. |

Chargers | Tyler Biadasz expected to be out Wed Aug 19, 10:09 AM
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers C Tyler Biadasz (knee) is expected to have a long-term injury.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers did draft a center in the second round - Jake Slaughter - and we presume that they will give him first crack at the job. The team is also breaking in new guards, with one job maybe still up for grabs and starting tackle Rashawn Slater out for the last eight practices after an issue with his recovery from patellar tendon surgery popped up. Head coach Jim Harbaugh was optimistic that Slater would be back this weekend. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara out a month Wed Aug 19, 10:02 AM
Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, and he's expected to be out at least a month.
| Footballguys view: Travis Etienne's fantasy stock took a hit when Kamara and the Saints agreed on terms for him to stay with the team this season, but this opens a door for the free agent addition to assert himself as the lead back while Kamara mends. If you were on Etienne because of Kamara's age and recent injury history, then you should feel vindicated by this development. Etienne could climb back into the third round on this news. |

Giants | Najee Harris to be eased in Wed Aug 19, 12:54 AM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris will likely need 'a couple weeks' to get into football shape, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Harris took part in individual drills only on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Harris looked pretty good in his first practice, so Harbaugh's words don't seem as prohibitive when considering Harris's potential value this season. Cam Skattebo was listed as an -OR- with Tyrone Tracy as first string backs on the depth chart, so the new regime has not anointed Skattebo the lead back yet. Harris isn't a must draft with a late round pick, but we wouldn't talk you out of using a pick on him either. |

Giants | Malik Nabers on track for Week 1 Wed Aug 19, 12:34 AM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) took part in full-speed team drills on both Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18, in a red, non-contact practice jersey. He could transition to full contact as early as next week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, who writes that the 'expectation' is for Nabers to play in Week 1, barring a setback.
| Footballguys view: The important thing to note here is that despite the excitement about Nabers not starting camp on the PUP list, he still hasn't been cleared for contact. His demonstrated upside is still worth the third round pick it will cost to draft Nabers, but there are still a few more steps left in his recovery before we can say the offseason worry about his condition was unfounded. |

Chargers | Tyler Biadasz carted off with apparent leg injury Tue Aug 18, 04:53 PM
Los Angeles Chargers OC Tyler Biadasz (leg) was reportedly carted off with a leg injury after a defender in practice with the San Francisco 49ers fell into his leg during an 11-on-11 drill, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Biadasz played for the Commanders last season and signed with the Chargers in March. He was the biggest piece of an interior offensive line overhaul by general manager Joe Hortiz. An extended absence would be bad news for the offense. With Biadasz out, rookie Jake Slaughter took reps at center. |

49ers | Christian Kirk continues to miss time; roster spot in question Tue Aug 18, 04:25 PM
49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk still isn't back at practice after straining his calf midway through the first training camp practice. "That's been unfortunate for him because he had the same thing in OTAs, so he missed that," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "And he hasn't been ready to go. He did it the first practice, before we even got to team periods, so I know he's been extremely frustrated with it."
| Footballguys view: Kirk went from fighting for a starting spot to fighting for a roster spot. Shanahan added: "We love the guy so far, but hopefully, he can have some better luck going forward here so he gets some reps out here." Demarcus Robinson, De'Zhaun Stribling, and Jordan Watkins have all gained ground in Kirk's absence. |

49ers | Mike Evans leaves practice early Tue Aug 18, 04:24 PM
49ers wide receiver Mike Evans exited Tuesday's joint practice early. He had his left foot/ankle initially wrapped in ice, according to multiple reports, but later had only his quad wrapped in an ice pack.
| Footballguys view: "They just said he has some tightness, so we were just being smart, taking him out," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "I don't think it's anything worse, so we'll see when we get in there, but nothing that I'm worried about right now." Evans strained a quadriceps in the Aug. 1 practice and didn't return until Aug. 15. We'll continue to monitor his status in the coming days. |
