Link to storyMiami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers (groin) was able to do some throwing Wednesday, Aug. 19, and is making progress in his recovery, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As the primary backup to Malik Willis, the Dolphins are going to be wisely cautious with Ewers. He was injured last Friday and is back throwing in less than a week. Groin injuries can be tricky, but it sounds like he should be ready to hold a clipboard and be "one play away" come Week 1. |
Miami Dolphins WR A.J. Henning (back) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 20, because of a back contusion, according to a source.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Nabers avoided the PUP list to begin training camp, but he's not yet up to full speed according to HC John Harbaugh. So long as there are no setbacks, Nabers should be ready for Week 1. His current ADP is WR14 (3.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (shoulder) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Blue played in the preseason game against Seattle, but he missed the scrimmage against the Saints on Tuesday. He's back out there trying to win the backup job behind Javonte Williams. We'll see if he can win the job over guys like Phil Mafah and Malik Davis. |
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20, because of a scheduled day off.

Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20, because of an undisclosed injury.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is dealing with a nagging injury, but head coach Todd Monken said the team is not worried about the injury.
| Footballguys view: An undisclosed injury for a player like Judkins is something to keep track of. We'll know more hopefully in the near future as Judkins is set to be one of the key players on the Browns' offense. We'll see if Judkins (RB19) can pay off as an RB2 for Fantasy GMs this year. |
Free-agent RB Khalil Herbert (49ers) signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 20. Financial terms were not disclosed. The team also placed RB Patrick Taylor (undisclosed) on the Reserve/Injured list.

Link to storyDetroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (hip) has missed practice on Wednesday, Aug. 19, but the team feels good about his health longterm, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: They can feel good about his health, but there's still no word on whether LaPorta will be ready for Week 1. He could be ready, but Campbell says he's not sure. That's not exactly the ringing endorsement Fantasy GMs want to hear with fantasy football drafts going hot and heavy this month. As they say in Mad Men, "not great Bob" as LaPorta is coming off a back surgery that cut his 2025 season short and now has a preseason injury. His current ADP is TE10 (8.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren suffered an adductor strain during practice today, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 19. In the words of a source, he 'is going to be fine' and is not expected to miss much time, if any, and should be back next week.
| Footballguys view: Colts HC Shane Steichen confirmed Warren suffered a groin injury on Wednesday. They are going to be wisely cautious with the injury that is not seen as serious. We'll see Warren's status for the rest of the preseason, but we're not expecting to see him on Saturday against the Falcons. |
Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during the Commanders' joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: White will likely miss this Saturday's preseason game with the Detroit Lions, but the injury is not considered a long-term issues. Reports indicate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is flashing enough as a pass catcher this offseason to position himself for the largest role in the backfield. The group is a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, but Croskey-Merritt is the highest-drafted of the group (RB40). The Commanders' backfield is battling a few injuries right now with White (hamstring), Jeremy McNichols (quad), and Jerome Ford (hamstring) all banged up. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see the first-round pick out there for the Eagles. He's missed most of the offseason and training camp with this hamstring problem. Earlier reports suggested the team would be committed to getting Lemon the ball in a number of ways. Lemon has a current ADP of WR57 (10.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. We'll see if he can stay healthy and get ramped up before Week 1. |
Miami Dolphins PK Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) was released from the Reserve/Injured list with an injury settlement, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 19.

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. |

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. |

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. |
