Updating previous reports, Arizona Cardinals OT Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) and LB Josh Sweat (knee) are both on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list because of knee injuries, but neither injury is considered serious. Head coach Mike LaFleur said both could be back at practice next week.

Footballguys view: Now we have expectations set by the team. If Johnson and Sweat are back next week, we can take this off of our list of situations to monitor. If not, then we'll have consider what this team would look like without their starting left tackle or best pass rusher.

  Panthers | Serious injury for Nic Scourton    Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers DE Nic Scourton (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during practice Thursday, July 23, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Cameron Wolfe. He is scheduled to receive a second opinion to confirm the injury and is expected to have surgery in a few weeks if it is confirmed.

Footballguys view: The Panthers have lost their #2 defensive end - an ascendant 2025 second round pick - in addition to being without their starting left and right tackles to open the season. One of their starting guards and starting corners are going for scans to have back issues checked out. After it felt like the team was turning things around after pushing the Rams to the brink in the wild card round of the playoffs, Carolina has a lot of adversity to overcome before most teams have even started training camp.

  NFL | Aaron Donald testing his limits    Fri Jul 17, 01:07 PM

Retired DL Aaron Donald is putting himself through football workouts to gauge his level of readiness for the 2026 season if he decides to return, according to Bleacher Report's James Palmer.

Footballguys view: The possibility of the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year playing again emerged after the Rams' blockbuster trade for Browns superstar Myles Garrett. If Donald does decide to play again, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport contends we shouldn't expect the 35-year-old to handle an every-down role: "If he does show up, it would probably even be toward the end of training camp and could even be into the season because he's not going to be playing 50 or 60 plays on defense." Even in a limited capacity, Donald being in the mix would be a nightmare for opposing offenses.

  Ravens | Rehab going well for Nnamdi Madubuike    Thu Jul 16, 03:52 PM

Baltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) is still making progress in his recovery, and the team will have more information about his injury in the next two weeks, according to general manager Eric DeCosta.

Footballguys view: A two-time Pro Bowler, Madubuike's absence had a ripple effect on Baltimore's defense last season. Only two teams had fewer sacks than the Ravens' 30. Madubuike's 13 sacks in 2023 were the most among all defensive tackles. As the team's official website suggested, his return would give Baltimore a fearsome defensive trio with Travis Jones returning and Calais Campbell coming back to Baltimore.

  Broncos | Zach Allen intends to break team sack record    Sun Jul 12, 03:45 PM

Denver Broncos DL Zach Allen said Sunday, July 12, he expects the team to break the all-time team sack record after falling short in 2025. The team had 68 sacks in 2025, four behind the Chicago Bears (1984) NFL record of 72. The Bears also accomplished the feat in 16 games. 'We've got a lot of good guys and that's going to create a lot of opportunities for people. We came close to the sack record last year and we fully expect to break it this year,' Allen said.

  Rams | LA not in a hurry for Puka Nacua extension    Wed Jul 1, 01:00 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, but after trading for CB Trent McDuffie and DE Myles Garrett, the team doesn't seem to be in a hurry for any contract extensions, in the opinion of ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Tuesday, June 30.

Footballguys view: The Rams have a strong group of extension-eligible candidates from their 2023 draft class, and Nacua is at the top of that list. It remains to be seen whether the Rams get ahead of those contract extensions or focus instead on the 2026 season. The latter appears to be the way they are leaning. A deal could certainly get done -- one that makes Nacua the top-paid player at his position -- but Nacua's situation is further complicated by recent off-field issues. Of course, none of this changes Nacua's status as a consensus top-five fantasy pick.

Footballguys view: Jordan is back for his 16th season with the Saints. This incentive-laden deal saves the Saints cap space while giving the veteran an opportunity to earn more money. We'll see Jordan as a part of the Saints pass-rushing rotation.
