Chiefs | Hollywood Brown back at practice Tue Aug 19, 12:07 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (ankle, foot) returned to practice Sunday, Aug. 17, and also participated in practice Monday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs plan to play their starters in their final preseason game, but head coach Andy Reid said that there's been no decision about whether Brown could be among them. "We'll see how he progresses through this thing," Reid said. "He's taking it slow, and we don't want any setbacks." Brown was limited to five games last season, so it's easy to understand why the Chiefs want to avoid further absences. Given the uncertainty about how long Rashee Rice will be available, it's all the more important for Brown to be on the field this fall. |

Lions | Isaac TeSlaa earning more work Tue Aug 19, 12:06 AM
Detroit Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa will be receiving more work with QB Jared Goff and the first-team offense moving forward after performing well with the second-team offense, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: While it was assumed Tim Patrick would start the season as the team's No. 3 wide receiver, TeSlaa's rapid ascension is threatening the veteran. Also, according to The Sporting News, Patrick has struggled mightily this offseason and is also injured. "He certainly has a chance to have a role in our offense and has done a great job getting better every day," QB Jared Goff said. Still, as impressive as he's been, TeSlaa has "barely" gotten run with the starters in practice, according to Jeremy Reisman of Pride of Detroit. Seems like that will change. |
Commanders | Quinn confirms Washington moving on from Brian Robinson Jr. Tue Aug 19, 12:05 AM
The Commanders reportedly are shopping running back Brian Robinson Jr.. The report gained significant credence when Robinson didn't play in Monday night's preseason game against the Bengals. After the game, Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that both he and G.M. Adam Peters spoke to Robinson on Sunday afternoon, and there are "a lot of moving parts" to the situation. Regardless of where the moving parts will go, the signs are pointing toward the Commander's moving on. "News like that's always not easy," Quinn said regarding the conversation with Robinson.
| Footballguys view: As a rookie, Robinson returned from being shot in the leg during a carjacking attempt in August to rush for 797 yards in 12 games. In 2023, he gained 733 yards in 15 games, along with 368 receiving yards. Last year, he ran for a career-high 799 yards in 14 games. He added 159 receiving yards. In the final year of his rookie contract, Robinson has a base salary of $3.4 million. Meanwhile, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt appears to be in line for a significant role going forward, although Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Austin Ekeler are also in the mix. |

Link to story Rams | McVay pleased with Matthew Stafford's return, but offered no specific updates Mon Aug 18, 04:02 PM
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced for the first time during training camp on Monday, with the team noting that he was a full participant in an hour-long practice. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters that Stafford looked good practicing, but added that he doesn't have any further updates. "It was good to be able to have Matthew out there. He did a good job today," McVay said. "I think there was a lot of intended information, but there are no updates. We're going to keep it a day, and really, a week at a time."
| Footballguys view: McVay did not share what the rest of the week would be like when it comes to Stafford's practice schedule. McVay also would not go into a level of confidence for Stafford being ready for the opener. "I think that would be putting the cart way before the horse," McVay said, via Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. "I thought he did a good job today." Stafford, 37, had not practiced in training camp until Monday as he's been dealing with a disc issue in his back. We'll continue to follow up as developments warrant. |

Link to story Dolphins | Darren Waller's return still uncertain Mon Aug 18, 03:38 PM
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) is still on the Reserve/Injured list, and head coach Mike McDaniel said there is no timetable for his return.
| Footballguys view: Waller, who turns 33 next month, was acquired by the Dolphins in a July trade with the New York Giants. The veteran tight end is returning from retirement after sitting out the entire 2024 NFL season. Miami placed Waller on the PUP list at the start of training camp. We'll continue to watch for more, but with Waller being drafted as TE28, he has a lot to prove before being viewed as fantasy relevant. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane likely to sit out this week Mon Aug 18, 03:37 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) is not expected to practice this week because of his calf injury, and head coach Mike McDaniel said the plan is to have Achane ready for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: As Miami Herald Omar Kelly noted, calves are typically viewed as tricky injuries, especially for players who rely heavily on their speed, such as Achane, because it could lead to other strains. With Achane sidelined, Miami will likely lean on Jaylen Wright, who has struggled this exhibition season, averaging 1.5 yards per attempt on 13 carries, and rookie Ollie Gordon II to handle the tailback workload in the final preseason game and during the practices that lead up to the regular-season kickoff. We'll be watching this one closely as Week 1 draws nearer. |

New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III (leg) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 18.
Link to story Vikings | Jalen Nailor week-to-week Mon Aug 18, 03:17 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor (hand) is considered week-to-week because of a hand injury. Head coach Kevin O'Connell will not say if surgery is an option for Nailor.
| Footballguys view: If the injury keeps Nailor out into the regular season, the Vikings will be thin at wide receiver. While Justin Jefferson is returning to practice after missing weeks with a hamstring injury, Jordan Addison is suspended for the first three weeks of the year. Lucky Jackson, third-round pick Tai Felton, and Jeshaun Jones are next on the depth chart for the Vikings. Nailor, who had 28 catches for 414 yards and six touchdowns for the Vikings last season, would be the presumptive starter with Addison out. |
Vikings | Justin Jefferson will be on field Monday Mon Aug 18, 03:08 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) will be at least a limited participant during practice Monday, Aug. 18, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson has been out since the second practice of training camp with a hamstring injury, and he was scheduled to be re-evaluated this week. It seems that assessment went well. "You'll see him take part in bits and pieces of it," O'Connell said. "It'll be kind of a ramp up." The Vikings play their first game three weeks from Monday, which gives Jefferson time to work his way up to full speed before the season opens in Chicago. Jordan Addison's three-game suspension makes having Jefferson all the more important for first-time starter J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota offense. |

Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan uncertain for Thursday Mon Aug 18, 02:56 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is dealing with a sore hamstring and may not be available for the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 18, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: McMillan, the eighth overall selection of the 2025 NFL draft, did not participate in Monday's practice. "T-Mac had a really sore hamstring," Canales told reporters. "Imaging looked fine, but he just kinda all stoved up . . . We just thought we'd shut him down for a couple of days and turn him back around." McMillan recorded two receptions for a game-high 43 yards in the preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 8. He was targeted twice, to no avail, during Saturday's outing in Houston. We'll continue to watch for more on this in coming days. |

Packers | Romeo Doubs back on field Mon Aug 18, 02:41 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (back) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Doubs missed nearly a week of practice after suffering an apparent back injury due to a collision last Tuesday. Getting him back on the field in at least a limited capacity is a positive, especially with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks already dinged up in one way or another. Over his first three seasons in the NFL, Doubs has accumulated 1,700 receiving yards on 147 receptions with 15 touchdowns to his name. With a 16th-round price, Doubs offers a nice floor for those who took risks earlier in their drafts. |
