Rams | Demarcus Robinson draws praise from teammate Fri Jul 26, 03:23 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Demarcus Robinson boasts an 'unreal' movement pattern and 'can go out there and run every route,' according to teammate Puka Nacua.'The movement pattern he has, I think, is unreal. The energy that he has is something that we thrive off in the receiver room. He can go out there and run every route. Being the 'X' receiver, he's kind of on the back side solo. He has a lot of opportunities to run some of those 'X' receiver routes, but the versatility that he has to run the short game, intermediate game, and especially to go out there and run the deep ball. That's what we saw him do last year,' Nacua said.

Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa gets his long-awaited payday Fri Jul 26, 03:16 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $212.4 million on Friday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: It's Tua's turn, and he earned it, with an assist from Tyreek Hill and Mike McDaniel. He is a terrific fit for McDaniel's system and should keep this offense humming. He's still available outside of the top 12 quarterbacks because he doesn't add much as a runner. He'll all be a dicey Week 17 play at Cleveland. |

Steelers | No practice again for Russell Wilson Fri Jul 26, 01:51 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) was held out of practice again on Friday, July 26, but head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters afterward that Wilson did not practice so he could 'keep a minor thing from becoming major.'
| Footballguys view: Justin Fields has been inconsistent in Wilson's place, so the door to Fields overtaking him isn't exactly open. Fields and Wilson are both mere late round picks with the strong possibility that the Steelers have a hyperconservative pass offense and use both quarterbacks over the course of the game. |

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) did not participate in practice on Friday, July 26, due to illness. Jackson missed the first three training camp practices due to an illness and left practice early upon returning to work on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: This has now risen to the "probably nothing, but should be monitored" level. Josh Johnson is the backup in Baltimore and will be getting extra work with the first team while Jackson and the Ravens get this figured out. Stay tuned. |

Lions | Double duty for Jahmyr Gibbs Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs took part in wide receiver drills during practice Thursday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: This is actually good news for David Montgomery, because if Gibbs is deployed more often as a receiver, Montgomery will get more snaps in the backfield. Both Lions backs are worth taking at their ADPs in what could be the best offense in the league. |
Browns | David Njoku limited Thursday Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (undisclosed) worked on the side during practice Thursday, July 25, due to an undisclosed injury.

Falcons | Kirk Cousins expected to sit out preseason Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins said he wants to play during the preseason but that head coach Raheem Morris does not plan on playing him during those games.
| Footballguys view: Cousins knows the Zac Robinson well after he played under fellow Sean McVay disciple Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota and he avoided the PUP list to open camp after an achilles tear ended his 2023. We don't need to see him in the preseason. It will be exciting to watch #8 overall Michael Penix Jr. play with the first team in his place. |

Broncos | Bo Nix works with starters Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix worked with the first-team offense during practice Thursday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Nix only has to beat out Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson to start Week 1 at Seattle. Unlike JJ McCarthy and Drake Maye, the veteran bridge quarterback options for the Broncos won't be compelling enough to keep Nix off of the field unless he faceplants in the preseason. |
Titans | Tyler Boyd building chemistry with QB Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Boyd appears to have developed a good connection with QB Will Levis during the early part of training camp, in the opinion of TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
| Footballguys view: Boyd probably won't be fantasy relevant in redraft leagues, but he could be an important part of this pass offense and lower the target volume and ceiling of Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins. He will be running shorter, quick opening routes from the slot, which should help establish confidence for Levis. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson will continue running Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson will not have any limitations on his running this season because it is one of the strengths of his game, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: This could be the best thing for Richardson's value, or the worst. But if you are taking Richardson at ADP in a redraft league, it's what you want to hear, because his rushing upside along with Steichen's offensive wizardry is what gives the 2023 #4 overall pick #1 overall fantasy quarterback upside. This is also a confirmation that Steichen is aggressive as an offense designer and game planner, which we always prefer in fantasy football. |
Bengals | No injury for Ja'Marr Chase Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase's absence from practice Thursday, July 25, was not injury related, according to head coach Zak Taylor. Chase would not say if his absence from practice was related to his contract situation.
| Footballguys view: This confirms something we basically already knew. Part of the reason the Bengals didn't sign Tee Higgins to a long term deal is because Chase is also due for a deal and more essential to the team's success. This situation is much farther from escalating than the CeeDee Lamb holdout, but we'll be monitoring in case there are any changes and hoping the Bengals and Chase can figure something out soon. In the meantime, players like 2023 sixth round pick Andrei Iosivas and 2024 third rounder Jermaine Burton will get more reps with Joe Burrow and the ones. |

Jets | Xavier Gipson out a week or two Fri Jul 26, 11:20 AM
New York Jets WR Xavier Gipson (lower body) will miss a week or two due to an unspecified lower body injury, according to sources Friday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: Gipson is set as the team's #3 receiver and top slot receiver, so this should give third round pick Malachi Corley a chance to show what he can do. Garrett Wilson and free agent signing Mike Williams (currently on the PUP recovering from a torn ACL) are the starters. |
Chargers | Quentin Johnston making a good impression Fri Jul 26, 09:34 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston 'is going to be problem for people,' according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.'I just think he got a bad rap. I look at some of the clips coming out of training camp last year. Whatever it was, it just seemed like in somebody's mind he was a disappointment. He hasn't been that at all in my eyes. I see big, fast, strong, getting stronger. I think that's a piece that's really been addressed in the offseason with coach (Ben) Herbert. And Quentin, just getting stronger to go with that. With that speed, the agility, his ability to catch the ball, he plucks it out of the air. He's as good as anybody doing it. But then combining that speed and agility, getting that strength component to go along with it, he's going to be a problem. He's going to be a problem for people,' Harbaugh said about Johnston.
| Footballguys view: Johnston is still playing behind free agent D.J. Chark to open camp, and he is a work in progress as an outside receiver, so don't overreact to this in redraft leagues. If you're holding Johnston in dynasty, it is encouraging to hear positive words from a new head coach when Johnston's selection came during the previous regime. |
Lions | Michael Badgley out for season Fri Jul 26, 08:55 AM
Detroit Lions PK Michael Badgley (undisclosed) suffered a severe injury preparing for practice Thursday, July 25, and will miss the entire season.
| Footballguys view: It looks like UFL star Jake Bates, who did his kicking at Ford Field, will be the kicker for the Lions. With the quality of the Lions offense and most of their games coming indoors this year, Bates is a viable choice once Justin Tucker is off of the board. |

Giants | Malik Nabers to be the focal point offensively? Fri Jul 26, 01:29 AM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers was targeted four times and carried the ball once in 20 plays run by the first-team offense on Thursday, July 25, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan, who opined it's possible that Nabers could see 150 targets as New York's No. 1 receiver.
| Footballguys view: It would be more surprising if the Giants didn't make Nabers the focal point of the offense. Whether he pays off on the third round pick it costs to get him in redraft and best ball leagues depends on the quality of play from him and more importantly Daniel Jones, along with a rebuilt Giants offensive line that failed Jones and the other quarterbacks so often last season. |
Chargers | Ladd McConkey working with the starters Fri Jul 26, 01:14 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was one of the three receivers for starter-on-starter reps on Thursday, July 25, joining WRs Joshua Palmer and DJ Chark Jr.
| Footballguys view: McConkey has generated positive buzz from day one, and there's a real chance that he's Justin Herbert's favorite wide receiver right away. He's worth the 6th/7th round pick it would take to get him in best ball and redraft leagues right now. |
