Seahawks | Tory Horton on field Thursday Fri Aug 29, 01:10 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 28. Head coach Mike Macdonald said the team hopes Horton will be a full participant at some point next week.
Footballguys view: Horton is set to open the season as the #3 receiver if he is healthy enough to play. #4 receiver Jake Bobo is in concussion protocol. It's possible that Dareke Young or Cody White will see snaps at wide receiver in the season opener against the 49ers. |

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys DE Micah Parsons was acquired by the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Aug. 28, in exchange for DT Kenny Clark and two first-round draft choices.
Footballguys view: This deal is a blockbuster, and you might categorize it as a win-win for both parties involved. The Packers get a superstar pass rusher in a championship window. The Cowboys get a haul for Parsons in return. The Packers' first-round picks may be late, especially if they win it all in the next two years. Clark gives the Cowboys a veteran run-stuffer in the middle of the line. |

Free-agent TE Brenden Bates (Browns) was signed to the Cleveland Browns practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys DE Micah Parsons is being acquired by the Green Bay Packers and has agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Packers worth $188 million. The team will include $136 million in guaranteed money. It is not known what the Cowboys will receive in return.
Footballguys view: Per Adam Schefter, this signing and makes Parsons the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. It's a move that clearly shows the Packers are going all in on a championship run in 2025. Parsons is one of the best defenders in the league and can get after the passer with the best of them. |

Free-agent WR Courtney Jackson was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28. The team also released RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad.
Footballguys view: Jackson was impressive for the Broncos this summer in training camp and the preseason. He's a speedy receiver with the ability to be a return man as well. In crazy deep dynasty formats we'll keep an eye on him. |

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (49ers) and RB JaMycal Hasty (Patriots) were signed to the Miami Dolphins practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Wilson is back with the Dolphins, and he fits the system. With his speed and three-down ability, Fantasy GMs in super deep leagues should monitor his situation. If injuries strike at the position, Wilson is the type of veteran the Dolphins could turn to. |

Puni was seen running on a side field and had no sleeve on his knee like he did last week. He injured his right posterior cruciate ligament in a preseason game against the Las Veges Raiders on Aug. 16

Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) will miss the first month of the season and possibly more, general manager Jason Licht announced on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Godwin will miss at least the first month of the season, so it could be more than just four weeks. While Godwin is out, rookie WR Emeka Egbuka will be tasked with doing more opposite Mike Evans. Once Godwin returns (and perhaps takes some time to shake off the rust), he should perform like a WR3/flex play. |

Free-agent WR Russell Gage Jr. (49ers) signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 28. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: The 49ers continue to add to their wide receiver room here. Gage could be involved early in the season with guys like Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (calf), and Demarcus Robinson (suspension) out of action. Even with more snaps, Gage is just a 'what the heck' flex in super deep leagues. |

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) returned to practice and was in pads on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Good news for Wicks here. He suffered a calf injury early in August, and Wicks had to miss practice time because of it. With Jayden Reed (foot) banged up, the Packers need all the help they can get at the position. Wicks will compete for time as the no.3 or no.4 wide receiver option. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Tyler Goodson (elbow) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers LT Ikem Ekwonu (appendectomy) appears to be on track to be ready for the opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to The Athletic's Joe Person. Ekwonu didn't practice on Thursday, Aug. 28, and likely won't on Monday either as the players have the long weekend off. However, head coach Dave Canales told reporters on Thursday that he is 'super hopeful' that Ekwonu will be available.

Link to storyDenver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 28, but will return Monday, Sept. 1, according to head coach Sean Payton. Mims was evaluated for a groin injury on Wednesday, an injury the team didn't consider serious, according to the Denver Gazette's Kyle Fredrickson.
Footballguys view: The injury is not considered serious, but it's something worth monitoring. 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. |
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (foot) was wearing pads at practice on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Our Adam Hutchinson has this to say about Reed: Per Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin, Reed is playing through a Jones fracture, a notoriously difficult injury to manage because of the slow healing timeline associated with the injury. Typically, this injury requires a minimum 10-week recovery timeline. Unfortunately, the Packers have not been forthcoming with details. We do not know when Reed's injury originally occurred, making it hard to assess his true recovery window. The first public indication came on August 9, when Reed was sighted in a walking boot. If the fracture began around that time, the earliest safe return would likely be after Green Bay's Week 6 bye. It sounds like Reed is ignoring medical advice and trying to play through the injury. With so much uncertainty and the inherent risks of this injury, drafting Reed at his current ADP of 104 overall feels aggressive. I would recommend avoiding him in drafts or exercising caution when selecting him. |

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Dolphins GM Chris Grier told reporters Achane is expected to play in Week 1 against the Colts. He's a speed back, so a calf injury could slow him down a bit. However, the Dolphins continue to express confidence in his status and availability. Let's circle back next week to see what Achane's practice status is. |
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard acknowledged Thursday, Aug. 28, that he expects to get most of the carries this season, according to a report from ESPN.com Turron Davenport. Pollard said that knowing he'll get the bulk of the carries won't change his preparation, but that 'it is a good feeling to know he'll be in for the whole game, not coming in and out, so he can be more relaxed and get into a good flow.'
Footballguys view: Tyjae Spears (ankle) is on IR designated to return, so he's out the first four weeks of the regular season. That means it's Pollard as the Titans three-down back and featured player on offense. We'll see what rookie QB Cam Ward can do, but having a rushing quarterback could help open things up for Pollard. Fantasy GMs see Pollard as a RB3/flex option. |

Free-agent WR Hunter Renfrow (Panthers) is receiving interest from multiple teams and is weighing his options, according to sources.
Footballguys view: It's not a surprise as Renfrow can be a reserve, chain-moving wide receiver. He's weighing his options and is unlikely to land more than a backup role. That means Renfrow is off the fantasy radar. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb) was back at practice and wearing pads on Thursday, Aug. 28. It was his first padded practice since he underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb on Aug. 12.
Footballguys view: It's good news for the Packers as expected. Love suffered this injury to his non-throwing hand, and now he should be good to go. |
