Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) is not participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: With Alec Pierce still lacking a timeline on when he can play again after having offseason ankle surgery, the Colts wide receiver group is in dire shape right now. The team has been linked to Keenan Allen multiple times. This could be the development that pushes them over the edge to sign the veteran, who has experience with head coach Shane Steichen when both were with the Chargers. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins was held out of practice Saturday, Aug. 8, because he violated team rules with his fight with DE Maxx Crosby at practice, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. He is scheduled to be back on the field Monday, Aug. 10.

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (leg) exited practice early Friday, Aug. 7, after stretching his left leg, but head coach John Harbaugh said he didn't think Skattebo was dealing with anything serious.
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh said Skattebo is still "working through the football shape part of... coming off of rehab" from a severe injury and surgery. We'll trust Harbaugh, but also note that Skattebo might not be his usual self early in the season in light of this admission by Harbaugh. |
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 7, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: The team updated Price's status to missing practice with "lower body soreness". The first round pick who backed up Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame has done everything you could have hoped to earn trust in the passing game and set himself up for a big Week 1 role. As long as his practice absence isn't extended, Price will remain prominent on the mid-round upside running back picks. |
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jalen Nailor (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 7, but returned to practice on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Nailor could lead the Raiders wide receivers in targets, although he won't be the leading target earner on the team - that's Brock Bowers. JJ McCarthy had the most success throwing downfield to Nailor last year, so the free agent signing could have some fantasy value as a bye/injury depth play, especially in .5 and nonPPR leagues. |
Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (undisclosed) left practice early after suffering an undisclosed injury Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: Mims pulled up on a go route. He was seen in a jersey and hoodie on Saturday and will miss the controlled scrimmage with head coach Sean Payton in Canton to support Drew Brees at his Hall of Fame induction. |
New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (undisclosed) participated in practice Friday, Aug. 7, after missing the previous two practices because of an injury.
| Footballguys view: There were no outward signs that Doubs absence was ominous, but when teams don't disclose information about injuries, we always need to err on the side of caution. Now that Doubs is back on the practice field, we can take him off of our injured player to monitor list. Doubs has been working as the #2 receiver behind AJ Brown, with Demario Douglas playing the slot in three wide receiver sets. All observers are reporting that Kayshon Boutte has been outstanding in camp, but Drake Maye continues to talk about his presence on the team in uncertain terms, so we're still on the lookout for a trade. If Boutte doesn't get dealt, that will complicate Doubs fantasy outlook. |
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (leg) left practice early Saturday, Aug. 8, because of a leg injury.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter said Flowers is day-to-day with a quad contusion, so basically he suffered a bruise in a collision with another player. We don't have to worry about this in Flowers outlook this season, but the scare may encourage the Ravens to kick the tires on some veteran wide receivers since most of their depth chart after Flowers is made up of inexperienced players. |

Link to storyKansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) will probably not play in any of the preseason games, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes ACL/LCL surgery was in December, but he was still fully cleared for camp. It sounds like we won't get to see him in live game action before the season opener, a tough matchup against Denver in Kansas City. The next three matchups are against the Colts, Dolphins, and Raiders before an early Week 5 bye, which is a boon for Mahomes and the Chiefs to check in how his knee is responding. If you have Mahomes as your fantasy quarterback, you should have a good backup and one that preferably has a good matchup in Week 1. |

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion told reports he has an AC joint sprain in his shoulder from falling on it, but he is fine, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion and fellow Browns high draft pick Denzel Boston have stolen the show in camp and are on the fast track to be primary targets at wide receiver. We'll monitor the Cleveland practice reports to make sure he doesn't have a recurrence of the injury. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck completed 15 of his 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown during the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: Beck was the story of a surprisingly entertaining shootout to open the NFL preseason schedule. He was impressive enough that at least one Cardinals beat writer opined that the team needs to start Beck early in the season to see what they have him in before deciding what they will do at quarterback in 2027. This outcome was also a good sign for new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense and its ability to get wide receivers open. |
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) did not finish practice Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara's services secured for another season, the Saints have a surplus of running backs behind him and free agent signing Travis Etienne. Neal didn't look out of place on an NFL field after Kamara went down last year before his season ended with a hamstring injury. It's not clear yet whether this is the same hamstring that caused a problem last year, but if it is, Neal could be an injured reserve candidate because the team also has Kendre Miller coming back from ACL surgery (but currently sidelined with a back issue), and Audric Estime, a 2024 Broncos fifth round pick who was a pleasant surprise after Neal went down last year. |
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson has shown a 'clear connection' with QB Dak Prescott on intermediate and seam throws during training camp, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This might be more newsworthy if it was about a player who wasn't already fantasy relevant last season. In fact, Ferguson was the #1 tight end in fantasy leagues for a bit thanks to a spike in target volume when CeeDee Lamb was hurt. By the end of the season, Ferguson was a non-factor, so this is good news if you have been drafting him in spite of the second half swoon. |
Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop connected on all seven of his field goal attempts during practice Thursday, Aug. 6, including kicks from 53 yards and 61 yards.
| Footballguys view: Loop had a very successful rookie year after the Ravens took him in the sixth round to replace Justin Tucker, but his maiden voyage ended with a miss on an attempt that would have given the team the AFC North title and sent them to the playoffs. Instead, the rival Steelers advanced. It doesn't appear that he has any confidence issues in his second training camp after Loop made a kick at the end of a recent open practice to avert the disaster of the team having to do 50 pushups after practice. Earlier in the offseason, he also made a kick to get the team out of their last round of meetings following the end of mandatory minicamp. |
Cleveland Browns WR Jamari Thrash was waived by the team on Friday, Aug. 7.
Link to storyMinnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray has shown 'plenty of indications' that he remains the favorite to win the team's starting quarterback job, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
| Footballguys view: The tenor around this quarterback battle has changed in the last 2-3 days, with JJ McCarthy disappointing in his time on the practice field. Kevin O'Connell could be on the verge of calling this for Murray and giving him all of the first team reps to better prepare for the upcoming season. Carson Wentz is also on the roster, so McCarthy is going to fall to third string quarterback and could be traded if there is any team that will give draft capital to assume the requirements of his rookie contract. |

Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel was activated from the Non-Football Injury list on Friday, Aug. 7.
Link to storyKansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) remains out of practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs reassured us that this was minor when it happened earlier in the week, but the injury is to the same shoulder that basically ruined his 2025 when he dislocated it in a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce. Tyquan Thornton becomes a more attractive late round sleeper with every day that Worthy misses, as he has already demonstrated great deep ball chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, and the team brought him back on a two year, $11 million deal this offseason. |
Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) returned to practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: Allen's absence from practice was short, which is good news because Xavier Worthy is out right now with a shoulder injury. Allen has created enough buzz and had enough snaps with the starters to think that he has a real chance to play a lot right away and be a fantasy factor if he continues to dominate practice like he did before suffering a shin injury in punt gunner drills. Allen should be on your late round target list. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Aug. 6, but he did individual work on the side.
