Vikings | Day off for J.J. McCarthy Wed Aug 26, 02:07 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is receiving a day off from practicing Wednesday, Aug. 26, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said the plan is for McCarthy to play in the final preseason game.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings play the Broncos on Friday night. McCarthy is battling with Carson Wentz for the backup job to Kyler Murray. Some think McCarthy could be on the trade block, and many think he's not going to be with the Vikings much longer. We'll see what happens, but it's clear that McCarthy could use a fresh start. |

Falcons | Michael Penix to sit out Friday Wed Aug 26, 01:19 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) will not play in the final preseason game Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Penix has been cleared to practice and play 11-on-11 football, but it's too soon for him to see game action. Tua Tagovailoa is going to start the preseason finale against the Dolphins. He's been so bad in camp and the preseason the Falcons should start Penix ASAP. Now, does that mean Week 1? It seems unlikely given his health status. |

Cardinals | James Conner uncertain for opener Wed Aug 26, 01:05 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner's (foot) availability for Week 1 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur said there is no timetable to get Conner out there for 11-on-11 work. That means his Week 1 availability is certainly in question. Conner is coming back from the ankle injury that cut his 2025 season short in Week 3 last year. With a revised contract, the Cardinals can look at Conner (when healthy) as veteran insurance behind Tyler Allgeier and rookie Jeremiyah Love. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft clocking in Wednesday Wed Aug 26, 11:37 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) will participate in the joint practice Wednesday, Aug. 26.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Packers here. Kraft is going to get eased back into action, beginning with joint practice participation. Earlier this offseason, Kraft said the team will "probably" keep him on a snap count until halfway through the 2026 season. This means Fantasy GMs may have to wait for him as an option. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial as he can post TE1 numbers when healthy. |
