Seahawks | Anthony Hankerson cut Mon Aug 24, 04:41 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Anthony Hankerson was waived Monday, Aug. 24.

Cardinals | Trey Benson waived/injured Mon Aug 24, 04:35 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was waived/injured Monday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: As SBNation's Seth Cox reminded readers, Benson has struggled to stay healthy in his two seasons in the NFL, and then the Arizona Cardinals spent an absurd amount of resources this offseason to fix the issues with the running back room. It left a crowded space with Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and James Conner at the top of the depth chart. Now, the Cardinals have one less decision to make, and the fact that reserve RB Zonovan Knight didn't play against Dallas on Saturday makes even more sense. We'll be watching to see if Benson catches on with another team.

Cardinals | Xavier Weaver placed on IR Mon Aug 24, 04:33 PM

Arizona Cardinals WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 24.

New England Patriots WR Kobe Prentice was waived Monday, Aug. 24.

Chiefs | Jeff Caldwell waived Mon Aug 24, 04:10 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Jeff Caldwell (knee) was waived Monday, Aug. 24, with an injury designation.

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love out another week Mon Aug 24, 03:53 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making progress in his recovery but will not participate in practice this week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.

Footballguys view: This is not a surprise. The No. 3 overall pick suffered what's believed to be a high-ankle sprain on the final touch of his exhibition debut against the Raiders two weeks ago. While the Cardinals are hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, there will be no practices in his immediate future. When he was playing, Love looked terrific. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. But expecting a slower start due to this injury would be wise. Love has fallen to RB16 in our latest rankings.

Giants | Theo Johnson leaves early Mon Aug 24, 03:50 PM

New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) left practice Monday, Aug. 24, early after suffering an undisclosed injury.

Footballguys view: Johnson went down while blocking, prompting trainers to rush onto the field. According to local reports, Johnson walked off, slammed his helmet into the grass, ripped off his gloves, pulled his hood up, and headed briskly toward the locker room alone, appearing frustrated. Isaiah Likely has been the fantasy-relevant TE in New York all along, but we'll continue to watch for more on Johnson and report back as developments warrant.

Giants | Malik Nabers making progress Mon Aug 24, 03:41 PM

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was not wearing a no-contact jersey during practice Monday, Aug. 24. He was catching passes while running at 75 percent speed during practice.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Nabers has been taking part in team drills for a little more than one week, but he was wearing the red jersey until Monday's development. This doesn't mean he's been cleared for all activity, but he is now closing in on the final stages of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. All signs are pointing toward Nabers being available Week 1 against the Cowboys. He's a prime pick in Round 3 at his current WR12 ADP.

Saints | Knee injury for Ty Chandler Mon Aug 24, 03:35 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Ty Chandler (knee) is believed to have suffered a serious knee injury during the last preseason game, according to a source.

Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, the injury is especially concerning considering the growing number of issues in the team's backfield. Alvin Kamara is expected to miss time with a sprained MCL, while Devin Neal is dealing with a hamstring injury. Kendre Miller also just recently returned after missing time with a back issue. New Orleans did add some insurance Sunday night by acquiring veteran RB Zamir White from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for linebacker Deion Jones. The move had already made sense given the team's injury situation, but Chandler's potentially significant absence makes the additional depth even more important.

Bills | Skyler Bell back on field Mon Aug 24, 03:24 PM

Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell (groin) participated in practice Monday, Aug. 24, after missing some time because of a groin injury.

Footballguys view: Bell has yet to play in a preseason game, missing both of the first two contests. He told reporters after practice that it was a groin injury he was dealing with, but felt "like a kid in a candy store" getting back on the field, especially because he said he had never missed that much time before playing football. The rookie has work to do after missing so much time. We'll see if he can gain ground in coming days.

Raiders | Noah Brown cut Mon Aug 24, 03:10 PM

Las Vegas Raiders WR Noah Brown was released Monday, Aug. 24.

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt to sit this week Mon Aug 24, 03:09 PM

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) will work on the side this week because of a lower body injury but is expected back on the field next week.

Footballguys view: According to local reports, Croskey-Merritt pulled up at the end of a catch-and-run at Thursday's practice, which kept him sidelined for Saturday's preseason game in Detroit. Head coach Dan Quinn told ESPN.com's John Keim that Croskey-Merritt is tending to a lower-body injury and likely will return to practice next week. Meanwhile, fellow RB Rachaad White (hamstring) will be back on the practice field Monday as a limited participant. Croskey-Merritt is currently being drafted as RB38; White is RB40.

Texans | Houston acquiring Kayshon Boutte Mon Aug 24, 02:37 PM

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is being acquired by the Houston Texans in exchange for S Jaylen Reed and an undisclosed draft choice, according to sources.

Footballguys view: The Texans, who needed a replacement for the injured Jayden Higgins, found an ideal option. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Boutte was the odd man out of the Patriots' revamped receiving corps. A sixth-round pick in 2023, Boutte caught 33 passes for 551 yards with six touchdowns in 14 regular-season games last year. He also had nine catches for 168 yards with a touchdown in four postseason contests. Viewing him in the same range as Higgins -- or another player joining a new team, Stefon Diggs in Washington -- is a starting point for fantasy investors.

Browns | Quinshon Judkins a limited participant Mon Aug 24, 02:37 PM

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 24, on a limited basis.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Judkins missed the final two practices of last week before sitting out Saturday's preseason loss to the Bills due to what coach Todd Monken described as "a little something nagging, nothing big. Even though he's mixing back into drills, it wouldn't be a surprise if the team goes easy on Judkins with Week 1 still nearly three weeks away.

Browns | Isaiah Bond in protocol Mon Aug 24, 02:23 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond (head) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 24, because he is going through the concussion protocol.

Footballguys view: The Browns initially announced that Bond was being evaluated for a concussion after he exited during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Bills. He was cleared to return in the third quarter but did not re-enter the game, with many of Cleveland's key players already finished for the day. Bond's absence Monday indicates that he developed symptoms after passing the in-game evaluation. He will now have to complete the league's concussion protocol before returning to practice.

Rams | Puka Nacua remains not practicing Mon Aug 24, 02:11 PM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is working on a side during practice Monday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: The Athletic's Nate Atkins reported Monday that both Nacua and Myles Garrett are still sidelined by their injuries. Fortunately, there is a lot of time before the season opener, but they've now each missed the last two weeks. Both are set to do side work as they continue to rehab from injury. Both players missed last week's joint practice, but the Rams have continued to state that their absence is precautionary. We'll continue watching for more.

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. uncertain for preseason finale Mon Aug 24, 01:02 PM

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) will start splitting snaps with the first-team offense during practice this week, but his availability for the final preseason game is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Footballguys view: Penix will participate in 11-on-11 drills for the first time this offseason, officially kicking off his competition with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With the two QBs splitting the first-team snaps, the Falcons will prepare like they would for a regular-season game. Stefanski was asked whether or not Penix had a chance to start Week 1, but he didn't give a definitive answer. "Sure, I can't speculate on those types of things," answered Stefanski; however, the fact that he did not rule it out is quite telling -- especially with Tua struggling. We'll be watching.

Saints | Daniel Carlson headed to NOLA Mon Aug 24, 11:02 AM

Free-agent PK Daniel Carlson (Raiders) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the New Orleans Saints Monday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: Tanner Brown and Charlie Smyth have been vying for the kicker spot in New Orleans. Brown missed a field goal in Saturday's shutout loss to the Rams, and Smyth missed one in the preseason opener. Brown was 2-of-2 on field goals in that game while Smyth made both extra points he attempted. Carlson spent the last eight seasons with the Raiders. He was 224-of-255 on field goals and 238-of-249 on extra points for the AFC West club.

Vikings | Demond Claiborne, Zavier Scott in heated battle Mon Aug 24, 12:12 AM

Minnesota Vikings RBs Demond Claiborne and Zavier Scott are in a heated battle in training camp for a spot on the 53-man roster. Claiborne has blazing speed, but he has had issues fumbling and catching the ball. Scott is more polished, and his experience is key, plus Scott worked on special teams last season.

Footballguys view: As long-time Vikings observer Judd Zulgad noted, Claiborne's 4.37 speed is difficult to dismiss, but he needs to work on his weaknesses -- and to be more patient in waiting for his blocks to develop. Given Claiborne is only 22 years old, those are things that will take time for him to learn. This is where keeping Scott has to be a consideration. Scott, 27, isn't flashy, but you know what you're going to get. It would not be a surprise if Scott is cut on Sunday and quickly signed to the practice squad.
