Cardinals | James Conner practices Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) practiced Thursday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: It is important that Conner practices so that he can retain trade value for the Cardinals, who have four viable running backs, and potential fantasy value as a target for any team that needs a veteran running back to bolster their depth chart or replace a starter who goes down with a practice or preseason injury. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett practices Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is scheduled to participate in practice Thursday, July 23, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: There's no holdout here, as reportedly "productive" talks to add compensation to Brissett's contract are ongoing. Brissett is on track to start Week 1, but it sems unlikely that he will be starting in Week 18, and he could be replaced by fourth round pick Carson Beck once the team is out of playoff contention, or even once they have an extended losing streak. |

Giants | Projection of No PUP list for Malik Nabers Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: This won't be confirmed until Nabers passes a physical, but it is a turn to a more optimistic view of Nabers recovery from knee surgery than we heard during the offseason. His ADP is likely to spike back into the second round, and Jaxson Dart's stock could also be lifted by this news. Still, it was reported elsewhere yesterday that Nabers has a "realistic chance" of playing Week 1, which indicates that this isn't exactly a routine return from a routine knee surgery. Nabers had a second surgery around late April/early May to "clean up" scar tissue that was causing stiffness. We will be monitoring this closely, stay tuned. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice cleared for practice Fri Jul 24, 04:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) has been cleared to practice during training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: This is good news after Rice had a minor knee surgery and then immediately reported to jail for 30 days for a probation violation. He was allowed to leave jail for injury rehab, and the surgery was in May, so as long as Rice doesn't have a setback, we can consider him healthy. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes has clearance to practice Fri Jul 24, 03:55 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) has clearance to practice 'fully,' according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise now, but it would have been right after he suffered a catastrophic knee injury and had surgery on December 15. That means he has been cleared to practice fully a little over seven months after going under the knife. He's just built different, mentally and physically. Still, you have to wonder if the team will limit his running, at least early in the season, which was a big source of fantasy value for Mahomes last year. |

Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers could play Week 1 Thu Jul 23, 03:22 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has 'a realistic possibility' to play in Week 1, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: Nabers should be able to avoid the PUP list according to this report. That means he could participate in a limited fashion at the start of training camp. We're not sure how much (if at all) Nabers will play in the preseason, but this is a positive update as he continues to recover from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short last September. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan to get more work in the slot Thu Jul 23, 03:14 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan is expected to play 'a lot more big slot' in 2026, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: This report indicates we could see the team double the amount of snaps McMillan had at 'big slot' last year. That could put him in the nearly 30 percent range of routes run against safeties and linebackers. McMillan has a current ADP of WR17 (4.02) and getting more 'big slot' opportunities will help him perform up to expectations. |
Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' Thu Jul 23, 03:10 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' returning to practice.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Panthers here. Brooks is set to be in an RBBC with Chubba Hubbard, and reports from the spring indicate Brooks has looked incredible. He's going off the board near the turn at the end of the 8th round (RB39), and Brooks certainly provides upside to do more if he can stay healthy. |
Raiders | Fernando Mendoza signs rookie deal Thu Jul 23, 02:04 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza signed a four-year, $57.27 million deal that is fully guaranteed and includes a fifth-year option on Thursday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: The no.1 overall pick is signed, and now we wait to see how long it takes for him to get into the starting lineup. The Raiders have Kirk Cousins as the seasoned veteran to likely begin the regular season as the starter. We imagine it won't take long for Mendoza to get out there. Perhaps in the middle of the season we'll see the rookie take over. |
Eagles | Nick Sirianni 'excited' for DeVonta Smith to get extra targets Thu Jul 23, 01:29 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith should see extra targets coming his way in 2026 following the trade of WR AJ Brown. Head coach Nick Sirianni is 'excited' about the opportunities he will have.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be excited about what Smith could do this year. There has been plenty of buzz about Smith being the Eagles version of Jaxon Smith-Njigba - meaning he's going to be in line for a ton of targets. He is going off the board near the beginning of the third round in 12-team PPR leagues. There's no doubt Smith could post WR1 numbers in 2026. |

Jaguars | Liam Coen expecting 'a big year' from Bhayshul Tuten Thu Jul 23, 01:21 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is expected to have 'a big year' from his head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Tuten steps into the lead role for the Jaguars with Travis Etienne gone. He's got a ton of speed and can eat up yards in a hurry. Tuten should win the starting job, but Chris Rodriguez will split time with him. We like Tuten as an RB3 with upside for Fantasy GMs. He has a current ADP around the turn near the end of the sixth round of standard formats. |
NFL | Tyreek Hill still struggling Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) said he still has no power in his left leg after suffering a dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears in Week 4 last season. 'So it's about 10 months after doing two surgeries,' Hill said. 'My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg, so I'm trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it's one day at a time.'
| Footballguys view: Hill didn't add a timeline for his recovery, but he did say that his timeline is "looking real good right now." Well, it seems like Hill is not going to be ready to play until late in the regular season or perhaps into the postseason. We'll see how many teams show interest when Hill is closer to playing. |

NFL | Jimmy Garoppolo open to playing Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Free-agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo (Rams) said he is open to playing in 2026 in the right situation.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo is not yet going to retire, although that's been a consideration for the veteran quarterback. Instead, he'll wait for the right situation (likely a Super Bowl contender) to open up. When injuries hit in camp and the regular season, there's likely a few teams that will have Garoppolo in mind in case of emergency. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett report for camp Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett reported for the start of training camp Wednesday, July 22, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Brissett wants to be paid as a starter, and he's been in talks with the team about getting a new contract that pays him appropriately. While talks may be ongoing, there's a chance Brissett is going to 'hold in' as things shake out. They have Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck as starting options if things go astray with Brissett. |

NFL | Joe Mixon done? Thu Jul 23, 09:55 AM
Free-agent RB Joe Mixon (Texans) has told former teammates his career is likely over due to his foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Mixon missed all of 2025 with this foot injury. He had surgery last year, and reports indicate the injury required another surgery. Mixon is on the mend, but he might never be able to be cleared to play again. He might be cleared to play later this season, but it seems like a long shot to see him ever suit up in the NFL again. |

Seahawks | Harrison Bryant let go Wed Jul 22, 04:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Harrison Bryant was released Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: Bryant signed with the Seahawks in April after spending last season with the Texans. He has previously spent time with the Eagles, Raiders, and Browns. A.J. Barner and Elijah Arroyo are the tight ends of interest in this offense, although neither is being drafted as a front-line fantasy prospect. |

Link to story NFL | Deebo Samuel ready to play Wed Jul 22, 04:24 PM
Free-agent WR Deebo Samuel (Commanders) said he is looking to continue his playing career and will be ready to play once the right opportunity comes around.
| Footballguys view: Samuel became a free agent in March when his contract with the Commanders expired. In a YouTube video, Samuel told viewers he's ready to hit the ground running once a chance to play materializes. Samuel scored 42 touchdowns as a receiver and runner over six seasons with the 49ers. He caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns after being traded to the Commanders last year. That production was down from his best years with the Niners, and it remains to be seen where he might get a chance to show he still has a lot in the tank. |

Link to story Cardinals | Jacob Brissett expected to be at start of camp Wed Jul 22, 02:50 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett should be in attendance at the start of training camp for the team, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Brissett will presumably be in attendance, but CBSSports.com suggests the veteran quarterback could still stage a "hold-in" due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Rapoport, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure. |

Cardinals | Carson Beck signs rookie deal Wed Jul 22, 02:08 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck signed his rookie contract for four years and $7.4 million on Wednesday, July 22.
| Footballguys view: Beck was drafted in the third round (pick No. 65) in this year's draft. The 24-year-old rookie is expected to battle with Gardner Minshew for the backup job behind starter Jacoby Brissett -- assuming Brissett gets the contract he's after before the season starts. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet placed on PUP list Wed Jul 22, 01:27 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was placed on the PUP list on Wednesday, July 22, ahead of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet can be activated from the list at any point in camp, but the timing of the injury means that it will likely be some time before the team will be moving him to the active roster. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. First-round pick Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones, and Jacardia Wright are the healthy options at running back in Seattle. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett in talks for pay raise Wed Jul 22, 12:16 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is in talks with the team on a pay raise, according to a report from NFL Network on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: "My understanding of the situation is the Arizona Cardinals are in agreement that Jacoby Brissett deserves more money," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. "The two sides have been negotiating for several months. They have not yet agreed on a number, but they do believe he is due a new deal and deserves one." Even though talks have been at a standstill, teammates clearly view Brissett as the starting quarterback. Carson Beck and Gardner Minshew are standing by, but Brissett took this offense to new heights last year, and fantasy managers should hope he ends up as the Week 1 starter. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta fully cleared for training camp Wed Jul 22, 12:09 AM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (herniated disc) was reportedly cleared in full for training camp but is expected to be full go, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta has settled in as one of the league's top tight ends. His TE1 season as a rookie defied history when it came to first-year tight ends as fantasy producers. But he's slowed down since, pulling in a combined 100 passes for 1,215 yards and 10 touchdowns in 25 games over the past two seasons. Nonetheless, he was on track for a third straight top-10 finish at his position last year, and he finished seventh in points per game. LaPorta is being drafted as TE8. |

Raiders | LV will 'sprinkle' first-team reps for Fernando Mendoza in camp Wed Jul 22, 12:08 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza will reportedly receive some first-team reps at quarterback during training camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com's Albert Breer noted, Mendoza got about six weeks of work in the spring as a ramp-up to camp, and that time was spent largely on fundamentals. New head coach Klint Kubiak had Mendoza start a detailed progression in learning the scheme's footwork. The Raiders also drilled him on working from under center, something he didn't do much in college. Kirk Cousins handled most of the first-team reps. A report this week suggested the Raiders would prefer Cousins to start all year, although Mendoza could take over at some point if he picks things up quickly. |
Patriots | NE places two on PUP list to begin training camp Tue Jul 21, 05:29 PM
New England Patriots TE CJ Dippre and LB Harold Landry were placed on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21. This means they are not yet cleared for practice, but can be activated at any time.
