Patriots | Christian Gonzalez facing uphill battle? Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM

New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez's (hamstring) conditioning could prevent him from being ready for the season opener, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. 'In my own personal experience, you can only ride the bike so long or do the stair climber or something,' Vrabel said. 'You actually have to come out here, put pads on, run and get into football conditioning.'

Footballguys view: The Raiders are coming to Foxboro for the season opener. This could help Geno Smith, Dont'e Thornton and Jakobi Meyers get off to a good start. The Patriots depth behind Gonzalez is largely untested. Jeff Howe of The Athletic wrote that it is "tough to pin down a timetable on his return".

Vikings | Health issue for Harrison Smith Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM

Minnesota Vikings S Harrison Smith (undisclosed) has been sidelined for most of the month of August with a personal health issue, according to multiple sources. Smith will be evaluated on a weekly basis but is expected to make a full recovery.

Footballguys view: Smith's Week 1 status becomes uncertain with this news. The Vikings signed K'Von Wallace to the practice squad. They like backups Theo Jackson and Jay Ward, so if Smith misses the game, it might not be that big of a hit to the defense.

Dolphins | Cam Smith on NFI list Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM

Miami Dolphins CB Cam Smith (illness) was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list Thursday, Aug. 28.

Footballguys view: Smith was a 2023 second round pick. He has failed to develop under two different defensive coordinators and was beat out by Storm Duck this summer. He's probably on the roster bubble. The Dolphins secondary was completely overhauled this offseason and they added JuJu Brents and Rasul Douglas in recent days as an admission that the current group isn't going to get it done. Daniel Jones and the Colts passing game could start hot vs. Miami next week.

The Ravens had exercised Hamilton's fifth-year option, and he's become one of the best safeties in the league. With this extension, Hamilton is on the books with the Ravens through the 2030 season.
