Cardinals | Carson Beck sharp in preseason opener Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck completed 15 of his 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown during the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: Beck was the story of a surprisingly entertaining shootout to open the NFL preseason schedule. He was impressive enough that at least one Cardinals beat writer opined that the team needs to start Beck early in the season to see what they have him in before deciding what they will do at quarterback in 2027. This outcome was also a good sign for new head coach Mike LaFlwur's offense and its ability to get wide receivers open. |
Saints | Devin Neal exits early Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) did not finish practice Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara's services secured for another season, the Saints have a surplus of running backs behind him and free agent signing Travis Etienne. Neal didn't look out of place on an NFL field after Kamara went down last year before his season ended with a hamstring injury. It's not clear yet whether this is the same hamstring that caused a problem last year, but if it is, Neal could be an injured reserve candidate because the team also has Kendre Miller coming back from ACL surgery (but currently sidelined with a back issue), and Audric Estime, a 2024 Broncos fifth round pick who was a pleasant surprise after Neal went down last year. |
Cowboys | Jake Ferguson impressing in camp Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson has shown a 'clear connection' with QB Dak Prescott on intermediate and seam throws during training camp, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This might be more newsworthy if it was about a player who wasn't already fantasy relevant last season. In fact, Ferguson was the #1 tight end in fantasy leagues for a bit thanks to a spike in target volume when CeeDee Lamb was hurt. By the end of the season, Ferguson was a non-factor, so this is good news if you have been drafting him in spite of the second half swoon. |
Ravens | Tyler Loop adding distance? Fri Aug 7, 01:21 PM
Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop connected on all seven of his field goal attempts during practice Thursday, Aug. 6, including kicks from 53 yards and 61 yards.
| Footballguys view: Loop had a very successful rookie year after the Ravens took him in the sixth round to replace Justin Tucker, but his maiden voyage ended with a miss on an attempt that would have given the team the AFC North title and sent them to the playoffs. Instead, the rival Steelers advanced. It doesn't appear that he has any confidence issues in his second training camp after Loop made a kick at the end of a recent open practice to avert the disaster of the team having to do 50 pushups after practice. Earlier in the offseason, he also made a kick to get the team out of their last round of meetings following the end of mandatory minicamp. |

Vikings | Kyler Murray gaining momentum in QB battle Fri Aug 7, 01:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray has shown 'plenty of indications' that he remains the favorite to win the team's starting quarterback job, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
| Footballguys view: The tenor around this quarterback battle has changed in the last 2-3 days, with JJ McCarthy disappointing in his time on the practice field. Kevin O'Connell could be on the verge of calling this for Murray and giving him all of the first team reps to better prepare for the upcoming season. Carson Wentz is also on the roster, so McCarthy is going to fall to third string quarterback and could be traded if there is any team that will give draft capital to assume the requirements of his rookie contract. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy sits Friday Fri Aug 7, 10:45 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) remains out of practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs reassured us that this was minor when it happened earlier in the week, but the injury is to the same shoulder that basically ruined his 2025 when he dislocated it in a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce. Tyquan Thornton becomes a more attractive late round sleeper with every day that Worthy misses, as he has already demonstrated great deep ball chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, and the team brought him back on a two year, $11 million deal this offseason. |
Chiefs | Cyrus Allen returns to practice Fri Aug 7, 09:58 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) returned to practice Friday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: Allen's absence from practice was short, which is good news because Xavier Worthy is out right now with a shoulder injury. Allen has created enough buzz and had enough snaps with the starters to think that he has a real chance to play a lot right away and be a fantasy factor if he continues to dominate practice like he did before suffering a shin injury in punt gunner drills. Allen should be on your late round target list. |

Jets | Isaiah Davis to miss a few weeks Thu Aug 6, 04:40 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |

Link to story Browns | Solid practice for Deshaun Watson Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson 'had his best day to date' at training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The bar for "best day of camp yet" is very low for Watson, who had thrown six interceptions before this session. Shedeur Sanders has outplayed Watson, and there's buzz building that last year's third round pick Dillon Gabriel also deserves more snaps with the ones - and maybe should be included in the battle to start Week 1. It feels unlikely that Watson will make up enough ground to start. |

Buccaneers | Tez Johnson tweaked groin Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson (groin) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 4, to receive treatment for a groin injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Jalen McMillan is also dealing with a knee issue that has him sidelined indefinitely, so rookie third round pick Ted Hurst will get more work with Baker Mayfield and the starters for now. He could move onto our late round target list with strong performances in practice. Johnson was having a great summer before his injury. As long as he gets better soon and goes into the season as a primary backup receiver for the Bucs at multiple positions, we should keep Johnson on our waiver wire watch list. |
Lions | Sione Vaki to miss time Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Detroit Lions RB Sione Vaki (nose) will miss time after suffering a broken nose during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'We think he'll be OK,' Campbell said. 'He's just gonna need a minute here. It's just one of those freak things.'
| Footballguys view: Vaki hasn't been able to stay on the field enough to push Isiah Pacheco for snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs yet. This injury shouldn't affect Vaki for long, but it still solidifies Pacheco's status as the #2 running back after some speculated that Vaki could threaten his hold on the job. |
49ers | Hip issue for Jacob Cowing Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of a hip flexor strain.
| Footballguys view: With this injury, Demarcus Robinson is now the only healthy 49ers wide receiver among the top six on their depth chart. Ricky Pearsall is out for the year, but Cowing and the others aren't expected to be out for long. It's still an ominous trend when you combine it with three of the team's top four running backs being out, leaving only Christian McCaffrey as healthy enough to practice right now. |

Raiders | Dare Ogunbowale signs with Las Vegas Thu Aug 6, 02:33 PM
Free agent RB Dare Ogunbowale (Texans) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Ogunbowale is accomplished passing down back and he can also contribute on special teams. This complicates the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty, but fourth round size/speed back Mike Washington Jr. is still the favorite to get early down work if Jeanty goes down. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs misses practice Thu Aug 6, 02:26 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. The injury isn't considered to be long-term.
| Footballguys view: It's not a serious injury, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd has had an impressive camp - and more importantly stayed healthy so far after two injury-riddled seasons in the NFL. Jacobs could have more company in the backfield than he has in the past, and it's fair to wonder if he is wearing down after logging at least 260 touches in each of the first seven years of his career. |

San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) is back at practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. He has not practiced since Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Finally a piece of good news about the 49ers wide receivers and injuries. If Stribling can stay on the practice field, he should be in line for a large role to begin the season. The #33 overall pick should be on your late round target list. |
Patriots | No practice for Romeo Doubs for second straight day Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM
New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5 or Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: It's not clear yet what Doubs' issue is, but 2025 UDFA Efton Chism has been seeing more time with the first team while Doubs has been out. This should only fuel speculation that Kayshon Boutte is on the trading block and may not be a Patriot when the season starts. |
Dolphins | Greg Dulcich day-to-day Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM
Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: The team has revealed that Dulcich's injury is to his right hand/finger and that he may miss a week or two before he returns. The tight end has a chance to lead the team in targets and receptions because the wide receiver group is inexperienced. The sooner he can take reps with new starting quarterback Malik Willis, the better. |
Broncos | Jaylen Waddle leaves early Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) left practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Sean Payton told the media today that Waddle has a leg strain that will sideline him 4-5 days. As long Waddle returns to practice next week without incident, we can put this behind us, but if Waddle doesn't meet his return to practice timeline expectations or has a recurrence of this injury, we should feel less confident about his ability to stay healthy this season. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter not on offense often Thu Aug 6, 11:11 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars CB/WR Travis Hunter took 13 defensive snaps and four offensive snaps Thursday, Aug. 6. He has played 103 total snaps in training camp with 64 on defense and 39 offense. He has one catch on one target.
| Footballguys view: That split sounds about right for what we should expect from Hunter this year - about 38% of offensive snaps and 62% of defensive snaps. He could play more than that, but the ratio should be close that proportion even it is on a higher percentage of snaps on both sides of the ball. Hunter is an upside bench stash in fantasy leagues right now, which is in line with this outlook. Early reports have him taking most of his offensive snaps on the outside, which is good news for Parker Washington's fantasy outlook. |
Colts | Jonathan Taylor extended Thu Aug 6, 09:09 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension Thursday, Aug. 6. The deal includes $39 million guaranteed and is worth a maximum of $47 million.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is essential to the team's success, and this is a strong sign that the team agrees. He's a first round pick in fantasy leagues, but James Cook is breathing down his neck to be the next running back off of the board after Christian McCaffrey. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith rests his hammy Thu Aug 6, 01:50 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was held out of practice for a second straight day on Wednesday, Aug. 5, due to a sore hamstring.
| Footballguys view: We're not worried about this yet, but if Smith doesn't return to practice in the next week or so, then we will have to at least consider downgrading him because of the possibility of recurrence during the season, especially early in the season. The Eagles offense can't afford to be without Smith, so expect the team to be conservative with his return to the field. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Eagles | Makai Lemon out again Thu Aug 6, 01:44 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) missed practice for a second consecutive day on Wednesday, Aug. 5, due a sore hamstring.
| Footballguys view: It's time to start moving Lemon down your redraft board. He missed time this spring, and now is missing practice during the important installation of a new offense. Lemon is also missing out on reps that would strengthen his chemistry with Jalen Hurts. As of now, we should pencil Dontayvion Wicks in as the #2 receiver in Philadelphia. |
Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa likely to start in Week 1 Thu Aug 6, 01:12 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) did more work in 11-on-11 drills on Wednesday, Aug. 5, and ESPN's Marc Raimondi writes that it is 'fair to say Tagovailoa will be the team's Week 1 starter unless something major changes.'
| Footballguys view: This is probably based on Michael Penix not having enough time in practice to prove he should be starter because he is still rounding into shape after ACL surgery. Tagovailoa is a good fit for Kevin Stefanski's offense, but he has also had durability issues. Chances are we will see both quarterbacks at some point this season. |
