Rams | Alaric Jackson should be available Mon Sep 1, 04:32 PM

Los Angeles Rams OT Alaric Jackson (illness) will be evaluated during the week but is on track to play in Week 1, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Rams | Matthew Stafford on track for opener Mon Sep 1, 04:14 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) is expected to play in the Week 1 game, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Footballguys view: After practicing fully all last week without setbacks -- including participating in 11-on-11 drills -- Stafford appears on track. McVay's confidence is evident. Of course, that assurance comes with a caveat: Stafford is managing a lingering back injury, and though he's deemed "ready to play," there's widespread concern about whether he can play well when hit. We'll find out more about that Sunday, when the Rams take on a tough Texans defense.

Broncos | No practice for Nate Adkins Mon Sep 1, 04:14 PM

Denver Broncos TE Nate Adkins (ankle) did not participate in practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Broncos | Marvin Mims on field Monday Mon Sep 1, 04:08 PM

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (groin) participated in practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Footballguys view: We've been monitoring this injury since it was first reported last week. That Mims is back on the field is obviously a positive. As we previously noted, Mims can be the no.2 receiver for the Broncos opposite of Courtland Sutton. In addition to his work on offense, Mims is an All-Pro return man. Fantasy GMs can look at Mims as a big-play dependent flex option if healthy.

Browns | Blake Whiteheart able to practice Mon Sep 1, 03:49 PM

Cleveland Browns TE Blake Whiteheart (knee) participated in practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Browns | Could Quinshon Judkins Sign With Browns Soon? Mon Sep 1, 03:44 PM

On Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer provided an encouraging response to a reader question about Quinshon Judkins' status: "I believe Judkins will be back with the Browns soon, possibly even sometime this week as they prepare for the Bengals. If he makes it back early enough in the week, he could contribute some in the opener."

Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio notes, some believe that if Judkins shows up before the league resolves his Personal Conduct Policy case, he'll be placed on paid leave. Regardless, the first game is six days away. Even if Judkins signs today -- and isn't put on paid leave -- it's hard to imagine him being ready to play on Sunday without getting a single rep in training camp. That doesn't mean he won't have value over time. Fantasy investors heading into their final drafts with room on their rosters could do worse than drafting him late as a contingent-upside play.

Raiders | Jeff Driskel added to practice squad Mon Sep 1, 03:40 PM

Buccaneers | Cade Otton back on field Mon Sep 1, 03:14 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (leg) participated in practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Footballguys view: While we don't yet know what Otton's level of participation was today, the fact that he was on the field at all is a positive after we heard last week that this injury could sideline the veteran tight end for Sunday's regular-season opener on the road against Atlanta. As CBSSports.com noted, Wednesday's first official practice report of the week will officially disclose Otton's activity level as the weekend draws near. Stay tuned for more.

Chargers | Najee Harris may be available Mon Sep 1, 03:07 PM

Los Angeles Chargers RB Najee Harris (eye) has a chance to play in the Week 1 game, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Footballguys view: This has to be viewed as a best-case scenario for Harris. As SI.com suggested, it's a mild surprise he could even be available after his limited showings in training camp in the wake of an eye injury suffered during a fireworks accident. As such, one would think he's behind first-rounder Omarion Hampton in the rotation for now. We'll continue to watch his progress in advance of Friday's game against the Chiefs in Brazil.

Chargers | Quentin Johnston medically cleared Mon Sep 1, 03:03 PM

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (head) has cleared the concussion protocol, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Footballguys view: As SI.com reminded readers, Johnston was on the wrong end of a nasty hit in the preseason that caused the NFL to fine the defender. He's in the mix with Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen for a starter's share of the snaps on Friday, though rookies Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith still have upside.

Falcons | Darnell Mooney participates Monday Mon Sep 1, 02:54 PM

Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) participated in the team's walkthrough Monday, Sept. 1, and head coach Raheem Morris said the team feels good about here he is with his health.

Footballguys view: After injuring his shoulder at the team's first training camp practice on July 24, Mooney finally returned to the practice field last week. As USA Today suggested, some feared Mooney would be placed on the injured reserve list to begin the year, but he appears on track to start against the Buccaneers this Sunday. Last season, Mooney nearly recorded the second 1,000-yard campaign of his NFL career but missed the season finale and finished with 992 yards. The former Bears receiver should be heavily featured on offense yet again in 2025. We'll monitor his progress closely in coming days.

49ers | Jordan Watkins sitting out Mon Sep 1, 02:43 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jordan Watkins (ankle) is not participating in practice Monday, Sept. 1. Watkins could be a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list if the team needs a roster spot in order to sign free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne (Patriots), in the opinion of ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner.

Packers | Micah Parsons dealing with injury Mon Sep 1, 02:27 PM

Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (back) is dealing with a facet joint sprain in his back and may need an epidural injection before the Week 1 game, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Before trading Parsons last week, the Dallas Cowboys prescribed him a five-day course of prednisone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid to help him recover from back tightness. They also had him on a physical therapy program. Parsons has been practicing this week, and he is trying to play Sunday, although one source told ESPN's Adam Schefter it still is not certain if he will. We'll follow up as needed.

49ers | Jauan Jennings on field Monday Mon Sep 1, 02:20 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (calf) is participating during the media-access portion of practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Footballguys view: Jennings missed most of training camp due to the injury. While speculation swirled that his absence could be tied to his ongoing contract dispute with the 49ers, GM John Lynch told reporters the team had moved past the wideout's trade request. We'll continue to monitor Jennings' progress ahead of this week's game against the Seahawks, but it seems like a reach to believe he'll be ready for full duty in this one. We expect Ricky Pearsall, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle to be Brock Purdy's primary targets in this one.

Panthers | Jalen Coker has a quad strain Mon Sep 1, 12:31 PM

Updating previous reports, Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) has a significant quad strain, according to head coach Dave Canales.

Footballguys view: A report out of Carolina on Sunday suggested Coker, who is out at least four games, could end up missing six weeks because of this injury. Coker was poised to start in the slot after Adam Thielen was dealt to Minnesota, but that spot will go to Hunter Renfrow, who rejoins the team after an up-and-down training camp. It remains to be seen if any of the team's receiving assets beyond rookie Tetairoa McMillan emerge as viable fantasy assets, but we'll watch for signs that's happening in coming weeks.

Steelers | Jaylen Warren terms Mon Sep 1, 11:34 AM

Updating an earlier report, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren's two-year deal includes $7 million this year with $12 million total guaranteed.

Footballguys view: The deal also includes a $5.95 million signing bonus, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Warren gets $5.05 million in 2026 and $5.15 million in 2027 for a total of $17.25 million over three years, a source told Fowler. With Najee Harris allowed to move on as a free agent this offseason, Warren is left to lead a position group that also includes rookie third-round pick Kaleb Johnson and former Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell.

Dolphins | Darren Waller on track to play in opener Mon Sep 1, 11:31 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller is on track to play in Week 1, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: As USA Today reminded readers, Waller was once one of the top tight ends in the league during his back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Raiders in 2019 and 2020. Now, however, coming off a one-year retirement, expectations are low. Could they be too low? Waller is a proven pass-catching tight end and could benefit from defenses having to account for the deep threats of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. But Warren must be on the field to do that. So, assuming all goes well, this week will be the first step in regaining the confidence of fantasy investors.

Dolphins | Tyreek Hill on track to play Mon Sep 1, 11:26 AM

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (oblique) is on track to play in Week 1, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: Hill suffered an oblique injury early last month, and the Dolphins took a very cautious approach with his recovery. Still, Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said a week ago that his client would be "ready to play" Week 1 when the Dolphins take on the Colts in Indianapolis. We'll continue to watch for more, but with McDaniel now confirming the news, it seems all systems are go.

Dolphins | De'Von Achane practicing Mon Sep 1, 11:24 AM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) will practice Monday, Sept. 2.

Footballguys view: Today's practice should be the first step in Achane solidifying his availability for Sunday's season opener against the Colts. "We've been very aggressive with treatment, so there's no setback, head coach Mike McDaniel said. "And that will be the focus, if he doesn't have any setbacks, he'll be playing." The Dolphins issue their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. Assuming he's ready to go, Achane is a locked-in RB1. In 17 games last year, Achane rushed for 907 yards with six touchdowns and caught 78 passes for 592 yards with another six TDs. We'll be watching for more.

Bears | Bar set high for Caleb Williams Mon Sep 1, 10:29 AM

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams wants to be a top-5 quarterback in the NFL, and head coach Ben Johnson is coaching him that way. 'The standard has been set, the bar has been set high,' Johnson said Sunday, Aug. 31. 'He has said he wants to not just be one of the best Top 5 quarterbacks in this league, but he wants to have a legacy that lasts for a long time. So, we're coaching him that way.'

Footballguys view: Fantasy managers have seen Williams produce at a high level. While he struggled under offensive coordinator Shane Waldron early last year, once Waldron was fired after Week 10, we got an immediate bump with Thomas Brown calling plays from Weeks 11 to 13. Williams was QB4 over that span, averaging 22.4 points per game. In Weeks 12 and 13 alone, he was QB3, putting up 25.5 per game. Williams finished the summer with a QB14 ADP right now, just behind his QB12 projection at Footballguys. The upside is there, but Williams still has plenty to prove on the field.

Eagles | A.J. Brown confirms Week 1 availability Mon Sep 1, 10:25 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) said Sunday, Aug. 31, that he is playing in the Week 1 regular-season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4.

Footballguys view: Brown missed three games last season with a hamstring issue. After he missed time in August with a similar problem, there was speculation surrounding his health heading into the opener. When asked whether he was healthy and ready to go, he would give a promising two-word update: "Hell yeah!" As USA Today noted, Brown is considered the Eagles' number one receiver on the depth chart, but if any absence occurs, Philadelphia has another star wide receiver in Devonta Smith. Still, having both on the field will be important heading into Thursday night's game against the Cowboys.

Jets | Braelon Allen still motivated Mon Sep 1, 10:18 AM

New York Jets RB Braelon Allen said he is motivated to build off the success he had last season. 'I have a lot left to prove, not even to the outside world but still people in this locker room and people in this building and to myself,' Allen said.

Footballguys view: Allen, a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, played in all 17 games for the Jets in the 2024 season. He totaled 482 yards and three touchdowns, and the incoming staff has talked about using him in a David Montgomery-like role alongside Breece Hall. While the team is "extremely high" on Allen, ESPN's Dan Graziano reports that coaches realize what they have in Hall, who can be a primary ball carrier, a receiving back, or some combination of the two. With the Jets likely to be a run-heavy offense, both backs could be viable fantasy assets.

Broncos | Courtland Sutton brought out best of Bo Nix Mon Sep 1, 10:09 AM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix averaged 12.9 air yards per attempt when targeting WR Courtland Sutton last season compared to 5.3 air yards when targeting any other player.

Footballguys view: Sutton was tied for 21st in the league in tight-window receptions -- where the nearest defender is less than a yard away at the catch -- and was the only Broncos player among the league's top 90 in the category. He also finished with 135 targets, 65 more than the Broncos' No. 2 player (running back Javonte Williams) and 80 more than the Broncos' next-highest wide receiver (Devaughn Vele). It's safe to say that Sutton earned the trust of Nix, something that's likely to serve him well this season.

Lions | Jared Goff struggled with pressure Mon Sep 1, 10:07 AM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff had the second-largest QBR decline last season when he was pressured compared with when he had a clean pocket.

Footballguys view: Goff's decline when under pressure has been a persistent knock on him throughout his career. But he did show signs of improving last year. Take the Week 6 blowout win in Dallas. Per Next Gen Stats, Goff completed six of his seven pass attempts while under pressure in that game. The six completions netted 178 yards and two touchdowns. A week later, against the Vikings, Goff experienced a season-high 51.7 percent of his dropbacks under pressure. He completed 10 of his 11 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns on those plays. Hopefully, he can build on those performances.

49ers | Marquez Valdes-Scantling could play Week 1 Mon Sep 1, 10:05 AM

San Francisco 49ers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling explains why he chose the Niners and a practice squad spot over going to the Pittsburgh Steelers to reunite with QB Aaron Rodgers. 'I had to weigh my options and see which one I wanted to do, which was going to be better for my career at this point, and I was excited about it,' Valdes-Scantling said. He added that the playbook familiarity is similar with 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak and Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, his previous stop.

Footballguys view: While the 49ers hope to have Jauan Jennings (calf) on the field Week 1, he's missed almost all of camp, and it seems like a reach to believe he'll be on the field against the Seahawks next weekend. That means Ricky Pearsall is your likely WR1 for now, and we should expect Pearsall, McCaffrey, and George Kittle to dominate targets in the tough matchup at Seattle. Even if Valdes-Scantling might get some opportunities, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to rely on him.

Steelers | Jaylen Warren agrees to extension Mon Sep 1, 09:37 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren agreed to a two-year extension Monday, Sept. 1. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Footballguys view: Warren joined the Steelers after going undrafted in 2022, and he's played 48 regular-season games for the team. Warren has 346 carries for 1,674 yards and six touchdowns to go with 127 catches for 894 yards. As Profootballtalk.com notes, Najee Harris was the lead back in Pittsburgh over Warren's first three seasons, but Warren is on top of the depth chart this year. If things go well, he's on track to stay there in 2026 and 2027 as well, although rookie Kaleb Johnson hopes to have some say in that at some point.

Cowboys | Trevon Diggs' status up in the air Mon Sep 1, 09:35 AM

Eagles | Tanner McKee unable to practice Sun Aug 31, 05:35 PM

Philadelphia Eagles QB Tanner McKee (thumb) said Sunday, Aug. 31, that he fractured his thumb hitting a helmet while throwing. He did not practice Sunday, and he would not say much about his availability for the Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday, Sept. 4. If he cannot go, QB Sam Howell would be the primary backup to starter QB Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia Eagles CB Adoree' Jackson was spotted warming up with the starting cornerbacks during practice Sunday, Aug. 31, while other players at the position were participating in special teams drills. Head coach Nick Sirianni has been vague about starting jobs, but this appears to be a hint that Jackson has earned a starting job.
