Packers | Jordan Love playing in preseason opener is 'current plan' Tue Aug 11, 04:44 PM

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love playing in the Packers' preseason opener against the Steelers is the current plan, according to HC Matt LaFleur on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: Love played the preseason opener in each of the last three seasons, so it's no real surprise the team will take the same approach this summer. LaFleur noted that he reserves the right to change his mind, but he also noted why he likes "getting your process down" ahead of the regular season. The Packers will be in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and they'll be back on the road against the Broncos for their second preseason game. Their only home game of the summer will be on August 28 against the Cardinals.

Falcons | Nick Muse signed by ATL Tue Aug 11, 04:35 PM

Free-agent TE Nick Muse (Lions) was signed by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The Falcons also have waived WR Le'Meke Brockington and LB Malik Verdon with waived/injured designations.

Rams | Puka Nacua leaves practice early Tue Aug 11, 04:16 PM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (undisclosed) left practice early with the trainer, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11. HC Sean McVay said he 'isn't sure what the deal is just yet.'

Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, the injury issue comes amid a rough day for Nacua investors. Not only might he be injured, but Adam Schefter also floated the possibility that the NFL could suspend Nacua for his offseason actions. There have been claims that Nacua was allegedly involved in a "biting" incident at a bar on New Year's Eve. The case is still open. Schefter states that a suspension is "within the range of outcomes." Schefter's tidbit and a lack of information on the injury are both concerns. We'll watch for more.

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza to get work during preseason Tue Aug 11, 04:11 PM

Las 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.

49ers | Mike Evans back at practice Tue Aug 11, 03:37 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: Evans is the 49ers' prized free-agent acquisition. The longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver is entering his 13th NFL season but continues to perform at a high level. He is expected to provide quarterback Brock Purdy with the best boundary target and red-zone weapon of his career -- as long as he's on the field. We'll be monitoring Evans' health all month. Remember, his WR27 ADP and fifth-round price don't reflect Evans' historic production.

Vikings | Minnesota remains hopeful with J.J. McCarthy Tue Aug 11, 03:06 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy 'has a future with the organization,' according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Kyler Murray was named the starting quarterback on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert, McCarthy showed incremental progress this summer but could not close the sizable gap that already existed with Murray. At 23, he is younger than most of the quarterbacks in the NFL's 2026 draft class. But after losing his entire rookie season to a torn meniscus in his right knee and then producing a season underwhelming enough that O'Connell sought out Murray, there is no longer an obvious path for him to recapture the job unless Murray is injured.

Seahawks | Jadarian Price misses practice again Tue Aug 11, 02:56 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper body soreness) missed his third straight day of practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: While HC Mike Macdonald told reporters Price is going to be hard to keep off the field, the rookie will have to be healthy. That's likely why Macdonald said the team was in no rush to get Price back on the field before the preseason opener. For what it's worth, George Holani is listed as the RB1 on the team's first unofficial depth chart. Price is listed as the RB2. Look for Price to return to practice soon and, assuming the glowing reviews he's been drawing are legitimate, move to the top of the depth chart.

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez listed as co-starters Tue Aug 11, 02:53 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the team's first unofficial depth chart.

Footballguys view: HC Liam Coen said last month that the team is expecting Tuten to have a big year for them, but Tuten has not nailed down the top spot on the depth chart. As CBSSports.com reminded readers, preseason depth charts can often be taken with a grain of salt. Still, in this case the "Tuten or Rodriguez" listing aligns with the notion that the Jaguars will employ a committee approach -- possibly resulting in Tuten and Rodriguez forming a 1A/1B combo. Adding to the intrigue, LeQuint Allen could factor in on third downs. Stay tuned. We'll be watching this one closely.

Colts | Anthony Richardson will start first preseason game Tue Aug 11, 01:49 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson will start Thursday's preseason game against the New England Patriots.

Footballguys view: Richardson has been competing with Riley Leonard in training camp to win the No. 2 job behind starter Daniel Jones. Leonard, HC Shane Steichen said, will play the second half before picking up the start in Week 2 of the preseason, with Richardson slated to relieve him in that game. The Colts do not plan to play Jones during the preseason. As James Boyd of The Athletic suggests, what makes the news of Richardson starting Thursday night against the Patriots most intriguing is his open trade request. This game could serve as a showcase for Richardson.

Colts | Josh Downs returns to practice Tue Aug 11, 01:26 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, Indianapolis isn't entering this season with enough proven depth to comfortably absorb long-term injuries at wide receiver, where Alec Pierce has yet to return to full practice. That makes Downs' return from a groin injury even more significant. He missed practices over the weekend, but head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated the injury was not serious, and getting him back on the field Tuesday is an encouraging development. Downs is being drafted as WR43, a price that doesn't fully take his WR2 role into account.

Packers | Josh Jacobs to miss at least another week Tue Aug 11, 01:24 PM

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will miss 'at least' another week of practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.

Footballguys view: Jacobs dealt with numerous injuries last season, finishing with 929 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns in 15 games (all starts). He also had 36 receptions for 282 yards and a score. MarShawn Lloyd has been a bright spot in training camp, LaFleur said, and is likely to work with the No. 1 offense in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. We'll have more on Jacobs as further details come to light.

Packers | Matthew Golden back at practice Tue Aug 11, 01:21 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: While there were big expectations for Golden in his rookie year, he didn't get as many targets as expected. In 2025, Golden had 29 receptions for 361 yards. As Packers Talk suggested, this year there is more hope for Golden. The former first-round pick has already entrenched himself as one of the three starting WRs. He worked with the first team upon return Tuesday. Most likely, Golden will start as one of the Packers' outside receivers. He's being drafted as WR48. There's room for upside there.

Seahawks | Rave reviews for Jadarian Price Tue Aug 11, 11:44 AM

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is going to be hard to keep off of the field, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald said Price 'doesn't feel like a rookie' based on his attention to detail and coachability.

Footballguys view: While HC Mike Macdonald told reporters the running back rotation will feature "two, possibly three guys in a game plan," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler contends Price will be hard to keep off the field. Teammate Julian Love says Price's burst is "like a prime Dalvin Cook." And A.J. Barner added that Price has a knack for following the "track" that blockers create. Seattle likes to spread the wealth at tailback, but Price's profile should only grow as we approach September.

Ravens | Zay Flowers back at practice Tue Aug 11, 11:31 AM

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter did not sound too concerned about Flowers after Monday's practice, so it is not too surprising to hear that he's back in the mix. Flowers, who finished as WR7 last year, is being drafted as WR15.

Seahawks | AJ Barner moving up pecking order Tue Aug 11, 11:24 AM

Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner said the team will use two tight ends very often in 2026. This will help facilitate the motions and shifts, a staple of the San Francisco 49ers offense from which offensive coordinator Brian Fleury came from. This facet has moved Barner up the pecking order in the offense, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Footballguys view: As ESPN noted, Barner is an ascending tight end who should come into his own in Year 3. He's finally healthy after multiple offseason surgeries. And Fleury's offense should accelerate his progress. Barner can do a little bit of everything. But he made a point of emphasizing another tight end when asked about up-and-comers on the roster: Elijah Arroyo. Those two will be working off of each other a lot in 2026 as a strength of the offense. Barner is being drafted as TE24; Arroyo is TE61.

Eagles | Hamstring continues to sideline DeVonta Smith Tue Aug 11, 01:34 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed practice on Monday, Aug. 10. It was the fifth practice in a row that Smith has missed due to a hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: Fellow wideouts Makai Lemon and Britain Covey have also been absent due to hamstring injuries, leaving Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as the team's top healthy wideouts. Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper should also see more first-team snaps as a result. We'll continue monitoring, but as CBSSports.com notes, Smith's hamstring injury is seemingly minor, and the lengthy absence is a precaution.

Eagles | Makai Lemon misses fifth straight Tue Aug 11, 01:28 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not practice on Monday, Aug. 10, marking the fifth consecutive practice he's missed due a hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: The team is not expressing any long-term concern, but these are meaningful reps -- especially for a rookie. Lemon missed minicamp as well with a hamstring injury. He has served primarily as the starting slot receiver when healthy, but hasn't produced many splash moments to date. It's important that Jalen Hurts gets as many snaps as possible with his skill players as the offense breaks in a new system in the post A.J. Brown era. We'll continue to monitor.

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy makes partial return Tue Aug 11, 12:54 AM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) returned to the practice field on Monday, Aug. 10, but he was limited to individual work and did not take part in 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 reps.

Footballguys view: Worthy, who missed last week's practices with a sprained right shoulder, could be a full participant later this week ahead of the preseason opener Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. We'll watch for more on that, and suggest that as WR49, a healthy Worthy's 10th round price is appealing.

Titans | Carnell Tate continues to shine Tue Aug 11, 12:34 AM

Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed during his first training camp, per ESPN's Turron Davenport, who writes that the rookie's ability to run the full route tree is among his 'standout traits.'

Footballguys view: According to Davenport, Tate was on the receiving end of three touchdown passes from Cam Ward on Monday. The rookie wideout caught a deep pass for a score on a go route and made an impressive catch over CBCor'Dale Flott in the corner of the end zone on another play, and he caught a quick out-breaking route for his third score. "Tate has an innate ability to attack the ball," Titans receivers coach Greg Lewis said after practice. "He can make contested catches. He has long speed and is really smooth." He's being drafted as WR30.

Colts | Anthony Richardson not a lock for backup job Tue Aug 11, 12:25 AM

Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson is 'in a fight' for the No. 2 quarterback position with QB Riley Leonard, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder, who writes that both players have dealt with inconsistency thus far in camp.

Footballguys view: Richardson requested a trade in February and was granted permission to speak with other clubs to see if a deal might materialize. Nothing did, so Richardson is back trying to re-establish himself with the organization. Richardson on Sunday said his accuracy needs to be more consistent. He and Leonard will split preseason snaps as their competition continues.

Steelers | DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman sit out Tue Aug 11, 12:21 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Mike McCarthy said Pittman got banged up during the team's Saturday night practice, but the coach didn't disclose any issue with Metcalf. McCarthy has been tight-lipped about injuries and recovery timelines throughout camp. We'll be watching for more. With the pair out, Roman Wilson led off the wide receiver drills as de facto WR1.

Texans | Brevin Jordan dealing with injury Tue Aug 11, 12:20 AM

Houston Texans TE Brevin Jordan (knee) is considered day-to-day because of a knee injury, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.

Footballguys view: As Fansided's Clayton Anderson noted, after missing the last two NFL seasons due to multiple knee injuries, Jordan's opportunities to show his value to the organization were slowly dissipating. That said, there is no reason to believe it's a severe injury at this point. It does put his availability for Thursday's preseason game versus the Chargers into question. According to CBSSports.com, until Jordan is back, rookie second-rounder Marlin Klein could see an uptick in reps.

Dolphins | Zane Gonzalez placed on IR Mon Aug 10, 04:10 PM

Miami Dolphins PK Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Gonzalez has been competing with Riley Patterson, who was excellent for the Dolphins last year, making 93% of his field goals - a franchise record. As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted this week, Gonzalez has been the more accurate kicker to date in camp, but there's no reason to believe the Dolphins won't be comfortable rolling with Patterson again this fall. Gonzales, meanwhile, will miss the entire season unless the Dolphins release him.
