Panthers | Jonathon Brooks set to play Saturday Wed Aug 12, 01:15 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Both Brooks and Chubba Hubbard are set to play in the team's second preseason game. Brooks missed all of last year due to a knee injury, but he's got the natural talent to be a productive runner in the pros. Current ADP has both backs being drafted near each other. Brooks is going off the board at RB36 (9.10) while Hubbard is RB35 (9.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka limps off Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (undisclosed) limped off the field to be examined by trainers Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation. Egbuka limped off with the help of trainers, and then watched from the sidelines. The Bucs are going to be wisely cautious with Egbuka. When we know more about the injury, we'll have more of an idea as to what kind of timeline could be needed in recovery. |
Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa settling in Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa has 'really turned the corner' recently, in the opinion of ESPN's Marc Raimondi, who writes that Tagovailoa is starting to look comfortable in the offense.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa is set to begin the regular season as the starter with Michael Penix (knee) not yet cleared to resume football activities. Falcons quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt said that Tagovailoa is 'getting better every day.' Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski said the team does not have a timetable to name its starting quarterback...but the reality is that Tagovailoa is experienced and ready for the opportunity. |

49ers | Demarcus Robinson pushing for roster spot Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson enjoyed 'another big day' at camp on Tuesday, Aug. 11, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the veteran continues to show he could function as a 'valuable backup at multiple spots' for the team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Robinson can come through for his team, just like he did in the Wild Card win over the Eagles where he snared six passes for 111 yards and one touchdown. With the addition of Deebo Samuel, Robinson has moved down the depth chart and is competing for around the no.5 spot. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane looking at heavy workload Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane could have games in which he touches the ball more than 40 times, HC Jeff Hafley said during an interview on the 'The Rich Eisen Show,' on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Achane said Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik wants to be run-heavy in 2026. That being said, 40 touches is a bit ridiculous for one game....and Achane is unlikely to get that heavy of a workload. Achane did say he wanted to lead the league in rushing this year, and if his body holds up he could be in line to do just that. He's got a current ADP of RB6 (2.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson will not play any preseason games Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will reportedly not play in any preseason games, according to Ravens HC Jesse Minter on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. He's a seasoned veteran, with a new offense, that doesn't need every rep in the preseason (or any reps). Jackson said new OC Declan Doyle's play calling is "mind blowing." We're excited to see Jackson is Doyle's offense this year. Jackson has a current ADP of QB3 (6.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta impressing Wed Aug 12, 10:57 AM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta has impressed in training camp. QB Jared Goff found LaPorta down the left seam for a big gain down to the nine-yard line Tuesday, Aug. 10. The next play was a touchdown pass to LaPorta over the middle, which has been common throughout camp. 'He had a good play down the field (Monday) on third down and he's a stud,' Goff said. 'He's the same guy every day and continues to get better like they all do and got to find ways to give him the ball.'
| Footballguys view: LaPorta is a low-end TE1 for Fantasy GMs as per usual. So long as he can stay healthy after an injury-shortened 2025 season, LaPorta should pay off for those who draft him. He's got a current ADP of TE11 (8.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Eagles | Elijah Moore continues strong camp Wed Aug 12, 01:12 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Elijah Moore has been one of the 'primary players' to take advantage of the continued absence of WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Makai Lemon (hamstring), according to ESPN's Tim McManus.
| Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on Moore in the preseason. He's a veteran player who can make plays in practice, but he's essentially the no.5 receiver for the Eagles on their depth chart. It's good he's making plays, and with Smith/Lemon banged up guys like Moore will get more looks in the preseason. |

Bears | Ozzy Trapilo could return sooner than expected Wed Aug 12, 12:58 AM
Chicago Bears OT Ozzy Trapilo (knee) has a chance to return by the end of training camp, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin, who notes that the Bears initially feared that Trapilo might miss the entire 2026 season.

Chicago Bears S Coby Bryant (knee) will miss four to six months after undergoing knee surgery, the team announced on Tuesday, Aug. 10. That was significantly longer than the initial estimate of 8-10 weeks and could mean we won't see Bryant in a Bears uniform during the regular season.

Detroit Lions S Brian Branch (Achilles) and S Kerby Joseph (knee) could both return around the same time, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard, who writes that the team envisions them being back at practice late in training camp or early September. Both players are currently on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Rams | Stafford doesn't think Puka Nacua's injury is anything major Tue Aug 11, 05:03 PM
HC Sean McVay did not have a real update on why Puka Nacua left Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys, and QB Matthew Stafford didn't know much about it either. But he also did not get any indication that Nacua's injury was significant. "I did not [see what happened]," Stafford said, via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN. "I'm not really sure what the issue was, but nobody ran up to me in a panic, so I don't think it was anything too major."
| Footballguys view: As ProFootballTalk.com suggests, that's not confirmation that nothing serious happened to Nacua. But it is a positive signal when there isn't any other concrete information. We'll continue to watch for more. Meanwhile, the Rams' first preseason game is set for Saturday afternoon against the Chiefs. Given McVay's history, starters are highly unlikely to play for Los Angeles. |

Link to story Packers | Jordan Love playing in preseason opener is 'current plan' Tue Aug 11, 04:44 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love playing in the Packers' preseason opener against the Steelers is the current plan, according to HC Matt LaFleur on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Love played the preseason opener in each of the last three seasons, so it's no real surprise the team will take the same approach this summer. LaFleur noted that he reserves the right to change his mind, but he also noted why he likes "getting your process down" ahead of the regular season. The Packers will be in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and they'll be back on the road against the Broncos for their second preseason game. Their only home game of the summer will be on August 28 against the Cardinals. |

Rams | Puka Nacua leaves practice early Tue Aug 11, 04:16 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (undisclosed) left practice early with the trainer, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11. HC Sean McVay said he 'isn't sure what the deal is just yet.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, the injury issue comes amid a rough day for Nacua investors. Not only might he be injured, but Adam Schefter also floated the possibility that the NFL could suspend Nacua for his offseason actions. There have been claims that Nacua was allegedly involved in a "biting" incident at a bar on New Year's Eve. The case is still open. Schefter states that a suspension is "within the range of outcomes." Schefter's tidbit and a lack of information on the injury are both concerns. We'll watch for more. |

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza to get work during preseason Tue Aug 11, 04:11 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza will reportedly receive 'plenty of game reps' this Thursday in the Raiders' preseason game against the Cardinals and throughout the preseason, according to HC Klint Kubiak on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Kubiak did not disclose his exact plans for playing time this week, but there is a chance Mendoza will take some snaps with the first-team offensive line. Generally, Kubiak said Mendoza has grown throughout training camp. "It's been a really impressive training camp as far as how he's prepared," Kubiak said. "And then he goes out there to practice, and things don't happen on the drawing, on the paper in the playbook exactly as they do on the field. So, I think he's done a good job of adjusting." We'll all get to see that for ourselves Thursday night. |

49ers | Mike Evans back at practice Tue Aug 11, 03:37 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Evans is the 49ers' prized free-agent acquisition. The longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver is entering his 13th NFL season but continues to perform at a high level. He is expected to provide quarterback Brock Purdy with the best boundary target and red-zone weapon of his career -- as long as he's on the field. We'll be monitoring Evans' health all month. Remember, his WR27 ADP and fifth-round price don't reflect Evans' historic production. |

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. |
