Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza will reportedly receive 'plenty of game reps' this Thursday in the Raiders' preseason game against the Cardinals and throughout the preseason, according to HC Klint Kubiak on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Kubiak did not disclose his exact plans for playing time this week, but there is a chance Mendoza will take some snaps with the first-team offensive line. Generally, Kubiak said Mendoza has grown throughout training camp. "It's been a really impressive training camp as far as how he's prepared," Kubiak said. "And then he goes out there to practice, and things don't happen on the drawing, on the paper in the playbook exactly as they do on the field. So, I think he's done a good job of adjusting." We'll all get to see that for ourselves Thursday night. |

Link to storyChicago Bears CB Dallis Flowers (leg) and S Gervarrius Owens (leg) suffered 'significant leg injuries' during practice Thursday, Aug. 6, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Neither Flowers or Owens were slated to play large roles this year, but the team has already lost projected starting safety Coby Bryant for 8-10 weeks and standout nickel corner Kyler Gordon is still out with a calf injury that is frustrating head coach Ben Johnson. Backup safety Elijah Hicks, who could start in place of Bryant to open the season, is also on the PUP list with a shin injury, but could join the team in practice soon. No matter how you add it up, the Bears secondary is a big question mark for Week 1 at the Carolina Panthers - a team that has had a plethora of injuries this summer themselves. |

| Footballguys view: The Bears are already missing top nickel corner Kyler Gordon, who is out with a calf issue that seems to be frustrating the team. First round pick Dillon Thieneman will be starting with a backup next to him against the Panthers - who have had injury problems of their own this summer - in Week 1. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (PCL) will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, according to GM John Lynch on Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: This is no surprise after Pearsall's knee did not respond well to the open of camp. The PCL injury happened last season, so someone did not manage the rehab of this previously not surgically repaired issue well. |

Free-agent LB Jamal Adams (Raiders) will reportedly sign with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: At one point, Adams, selected by the Jets with the sixth pick of the 2017 draft, was one of the best safeties in the league. In his three seasons (46 games) in New York, Adams made two Pro Bowl appearances and was named first-team All-Pro in 2019. He added another Pro Bowl appearance as a Seahawk in 2020. Adams played in five games with the Titans and Lions in 2024. He appeared in 17 games last season with the Raiders. In 102 career games (87 starts), Adams, 30, has recorded 546 tackles, 22.5 sacks, four interceptions, and 36 pass deflections. |

Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori's (ankle) availability for Week 1 is in question, head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Emmanwori's problem ankle got hurt in Week 1 - which caused him to miss three games - and then was reinjured in practice the week before the Super Bowl. He had surgery earlier in July, and the team surely won't rush him back. The Patriots, Cardinals, and Commanders open up the regular season schedule for Seattle and would benefit if Emmanwori is limited or out. |
Buffalo Bills S Cole Bishop (knee) said he is feeling good physically leading up to training camp. Bishop missed some offseason workouts because of his injury.

Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (undisclosed) and CB Tyrone Broden (undisclosed) were placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, it's currently unclear what landed Emmanwori on the PUP list, as he was a participant during the club's offseason program. But at this time of year, Emmanwori can come off the list to practice at any time. One of the league's best defensive rookies last year, Emmanwori tallied 81 total tackles with nine tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 11 passes defensed, and an interception in 14 regular-season games in 2025. We'll monitor his status as camp gets underway. |
