Cowboys | Jaydon Blue sought as receiver Fri Jul 31, 11:49 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard,' Schottenheimer said.

Buffalo Bills WR Jalen Virgil (undisclosed) was released Thursday, July 30, with a non-football injury designation.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million.
| Footballguys view: Olave now ranks no.6 in the NFL (tied with DK Metcalf) for an AAV of $33 million, and the contract includes $90 million in guaranteed money. He had been held out of team drills early in camp because of this contract situation, and the Saints got it done. Expect Olave to post borderline WR1 numbers this year. He's got a current ADP of WR13 (3.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Free-agent QB Seth Henigan (Colts), RB Jarveon Howard (Bills), RB Ja'Quinden Jackson (Jaguars), WR Cam Camper (Jaguars), WR Jakobie Keeney-James (Packers), TE Zach Davidson (Giants) and TE Heinrich Haarberg (Panthers) worked out for the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, July 30.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he does not have a timetable for his return and that he will play when he is ready.
| Footballguys view: He has been participating in individual drills during training camp. Reports indicate Nabers has been running routes for weeks, so there's a chance he's ready to play against the Cowboys in Week 1. Coming off a major injury, Fantasy GMs will continue to watch his status through camp. |
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza said he is fine being the second quarterback behind QB Kirk Cousins and is more focused on improving his play each day.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza is unlikely to start in Week 1. We should see Cousins as the starter for the Raiders to begin the 2026 season. However, at some point this year the no.1 overall pick should see the field. |
Undrafted free-agent WR Liam Clifford (Penn State) signed with the Indianapolis Colts Thursday, July 30. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Quincy Skinner Jr. (Falcons) agreed to terms with the New York Jets Thursday, July 30, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived/injured WR Jalen Walthall (undisclosed).

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will miss the entire 2026 season if he needs to undergo surgery on his injured knee, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.
| Footballguys view: This is the same PCL injury that bothered him last year. Pearsall was recovering this offseason, but getting him fully healthy may not be in the cards this season. Maiocco is a veteran reporter who is not prone for hyperbole, so this news item is certainly one to watch. We'll see if Pearsall has to undergo surgery to correct the issue. |
Free-agent TE Taysom Hill (Saints) is still deciding if he will continue his playing career but indicated he will not be re-signing with the New Orleans Saints if he plays in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Hill spent nine years with the Saints as a TE/QB/Swiss Army knife player. He may not have many suitors based on his age and declining skill set. However, Broncos HC Sean Payton used Hill in a variety of ways. Hill turns 36 in August, but he could be a versatile reserve tight end and quarterback for the Broncos. Stay tuned. |

Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery on his torn lateral collateral ligament and will miss the entire 2026 season, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell should be placed on Injured Reserve in the near future. The initial thought was Brazzell might be able to avoid surgery. Instead, the Panthers are looking at long-term health for their rookie receiver. He should be 100 percent ready for training camp next year. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he is disappointed that the Buccaneers only offered him a two-year contract extension and that the team did not offer anything close to the $50 million per season he was looking for in the negotiations.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is coming off a down season, and without a new contract he's got a chance to break the bank with a bounce-back year. The Buccaneers were unwilling to commit to Mayfield in terms of annual salary and contract length. Anything is possible, but it seems like this could be Mayfield's final year with the Buccaneers. Mayfield has a current ADP of QB18 (11.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Washington Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) will not participate in practice Thursday, July 30, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Burks was re-signed earlier this year to give the Commanders veteran depth. He's in line to compete for the no.4 spot on the roster. Terry McLaurin, Antonio Williams, and Luke McCaffrey are ahead of Burks on the depth chart. |
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (illness) will participate in practice Thursday, July 30.
| Footballguys view: Coming off an injury-shortened 2025 season, Ridley reworked his contract to stay with the Titans this offseason. This year, with Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson at the top of the depth chart, Ridley is working to be the team's no.3 receiver. There's not much fantasy value there with Ridley, and we've got him as our consensus WR76 entering the 2026 season. |

Free-agent WR Gabriel Benyard (Bills) signed an undisclosed deal with the Carolina Panthers Thursday, July 30. DT Parker Petersen was cut.
Link to storyAtlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) returned to practice Thursday, July 30, doing individual work.
| Footballguys view: Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski said this was a "flare up" for the veteran quarterback. With Michael Penix saying he is likely a month away from doing more than 7-on-7 work, getting Tagovailoa back out there is good news for Atlanta. We are likely to see Tagovailoa as the Falcons' starter in Week 1. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was 'in sync' with QB Lamar Jackson during training camp Wednesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: In the spring, Ravens HC Jesse Minter said he's "got a lot of confidence in" Bateman. It sounds like that confidence is being somewhat rewarded with great chemistry continuing to develop with Jackson. What does that mean for Fantasy GMs? Everyone has tempered expectations as per usual, and Bateman has a current ADP of WR62 (21.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave only participated in position drills during practice Wednesday, July 29, because of his contract situation, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Health is not an issue for Olave, even though he missed time this offseason due to being on blood thinners to treat a blood clot (lung) found at the end of the 2025 season. Saints GM Mickey Loomis did say this week that Olave is "full go" at the start of training camp. We'll see now if Loomis get Olave a new contract that makes him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL. |

Free-agent WR DJ Turner (Raiders) signed with the Houston Texans Wednesday, July 29. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Louie Hansen.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave (neck) is on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list because of neck injury, and the team will be cautious with his return, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggests, if Musgrave is able to return to the practice field in short order, he may benefit from increased reps as Tucker Kraft (ACL), who is also on the active/PUP list, progresses in his own recovery. That said, Kraft expects to resume practicing soon and to be on the field for Week 1. His presence would obviously limit Musgrave's opportunities. |
