49ers | Kaelon Black returns Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, taking part in a joint session with the Los Angeles Chargers.
| Footballguys view: This gives Black an edge over Jordan James because James is still sidelined with a rib injury. Christian McCaffrey has been missing practice with soreness, which could include his feeling about his contract after seeing Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson's new deals. Black was impressive early in camp and should be back on your late round target list. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan returns to practice Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (leg) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, but HC Todd Bowles did say McMillan won't play in Saturday's preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: McMillan has some extra injury upside now that Emeka Egbuka has been diagnosed with a toe sprain. Hopefully McMillan can stay on the field and Egbuka will be full go for Week 1. McMillan's ADP is down in the 150s, which seems cheap for a third year receiver who is in a productive offense and has already shown that he can hang on Sundays. |

49ers | Mike Evans comes out of practice on Tuesday Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (left quad tightness) came out of practice on Tuesday. He was icing his quad and watched the remainder practice, according to HC Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Shanahan called it tightness and didn't indicate concern or any worry of a serious injury. This could have been precautionary, but Evans hasn't been durable in recent seasons and it's already his second injury issue of the summer. You can get Evans in the mid-late fifth round, so the possible reward that comes with being the #1 target in San Francisco balanced out that known and apparent injury risk. |

Link to story Colts | Tyler Warren leaves practice early Wed Aug 19, 04:07 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) left practice early Wednesday, Aug. 19, because of an apparent groin injury.
| Footballguys view: It doesn't appear to be a serious injury. Warren didn't return to practice and iced the groin injury on the sideline. We expect him to be ready for Week 1. His ADP is far enough behind his peers to make this development immaterial in the question of whether to target him at ADP. If you think he is going to become a foundational player in the Colts pass offense in his second year, a fifth round pick seems reasonable even with the injury seal broken. |
Jets | Geno Smith uncertain for Friday Wed Aug 19, 03:43 PM

Titans | Tony Pollard takes part in practice Wed Aug 19, 03:35 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) participated in practice Wednesday, Aug. 19, after being sidelined for a few days.
| Footballguys view: This injury issue is behind him, but Pollard was in what appeared to be a committee backfield with Tyjae Spears in the preseason opener, which is not what fantasy football rankings assume right now. If you are going to dabble in the Titans backfield, Spears is available for free late in drafts and is the better pick at cost as long as he can stay healthy. |

Link to story Texans | Torn ACL for Jayden Higgins Wed Aug 19, 01:04 PM
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during a joint practice Tuesday, Aug. 18, and will miss the 2026 season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Higgins was poised to take a big step forward this year, so this is a bummer for the Texans offense and CJ Stroud. Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel - who just returned from a hamstring injury and also missed time with a finger injury this summer - will pick up some of the slack, but the team could also just lean into the multi-tight end set trend that will help David Montgomery and the running game. Tank Dell was in street clothes at practice recently and the team said he is on his own plan regarding a timetable to return. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara out a month Wed Aug 19, 10:02 AM
Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, and he's expected to be out at least a month.
| Footballguys view: Travis Etienne's fantasy stock took a hit when Kamara and the Saints agreed on terms for him to stay with the team this season, but this opens a door for the free agent addition to assert himself as the lead back while Kamara mends. If you were on Etienne because of Kamara's age and recent injury history, then you should feel vindicated by this development. Etienne could climb back into the third round on this news. |

Giants | Najee Harris to be eased in Wed Aug 19, 12:54 AM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris will likely need 'a couple weeks' to get into football shape, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Harris took part in individual drills only on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Harris looked pretty good in his first practice, so Harbaugh's words don't seem as prohibitive when considering Harris's potential value this season. Cam Skattebo was listed as an -OR- with Tyrone Tracy as first string backs on the depth chart, so the new regime has not anointed Skattebo the lead back yet. Harris isn't a must draft with a late round pick, but we wouldn't talk you out of using a pick on him either. |

Giants | Malik Nabers on track for Week 1 Wed Aug 19, 12:34 AM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) took part in full-speed team drills on both Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18, in a red, non-contact practice jersey. He could transition to full contact as early as next week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, who writes that the 'expectation' is for Nabers to play in Week 1, barring a setback.
| Footballguys view: The important thing to note here is that despite the excitement about Nabers not starting camp on the PUP list, he still hasn't been cleared for contact. His demonstrated upside is still worth the third round pick it will cost to draft Nabers, but there are still a few more steps left in his recovery before we can say the offseason worry about his condition was unfounded. |
