Seahawks | Jadarian Price returns to full participation in practice Tue Aug 18, 04:20 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper leg soreness) has reportedly returned to practice on Monday and will still be ramped up for 'unlimited work', according to HC Mike Macdonald on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Footballguys view: Price had missed the previous five full practices. The 32nd pick in this year's NFL draft from Notre Dame looked as smooth and decisive on his cuts and running with the ball as he did in the first weeks of his first pro training camp, before the injury. Then, Price was coming into the starting offense in scrimmages after third-year veteran George Holani. That was reversed Monday. It was another indication that Price will be the lead back as Seattle drafted him to be on Sept. 9, when the Seahawks host the New England Patriots.

Giants | JuJu Smith-Schuster released Tue Aug 18, 03:32 PM

New York Giants WR JuJu Smith-Schuster was released by the team on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

49ers | Christian McCaffrey could have practiced Tue Aug 18, 03:13 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (muscle tightness) would have practiced on Tuesday, Aug. 18, if they were not joint sessions, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Footballguys view: There has been speculation that McCaffrey's injury is actually a hold-in, but Shanahan cleared the air on the situation. Shanahan said that speculation about McCaffrey not practicing for contract-related reasons "would be wrong." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the same on Monday night. McCaffrey's recent past -- in particular his injury-marred 2024 season -- makes it hard to take these issues at face value. But with multiple reports suggesting the star running back's absence is for exactly the reason stated, we remain optimistic. Also, we'll be watching closely for reasons not to be.

Jaguars | Parker Washington expected back next week Tue Aug 18, 03:04 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington (undisclosed injury) is expected to return to practice next week.

Footballguys view: The issue will certainly keep Washington from playing in Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers. It remains to be seen if Washington will see any action in the Jaguars' Aug. 28 exhibition finale, but, as CBSSports.com suggests, it doesn't appear at this time that his Week 1 status is in question. Entering his fourth season, Washington appeared in 16 games with seven starts last year, catching 58 passes for 847 yards with five touchdowns. Washington is being drafted as WR31 in Round 6. He has upside at that price.

Jaguars | LeQuint Allen to miss rest of camp Tue Aug 18, 03:01 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen will miss the rest of training camp after suffering a soft-tissue injury in practice.

Footballguys view: Even though he's listed behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr., Allen is the best blocker of the bunch and an outstanding pass-catcher. These traits made him a candidate to have an increased role on offense this season. Allen has time to recover for the season opener. If he's back at full strength by then, as expected, he'll be in a position to be a role player in this offense. Not having him would take away one dimension from the passing game, but it might also lead to more work for Tuten. We'll be watching for more.

Browns | Ben Patterson signs with Cleveland Tue Aug 18, 02:51 PM

Free agent WR Ben Patterson (Jaguars) signed with the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday, Aug. 18. No terms of the deal were disclosed.

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love will not need surgery Tue Aug 18, 01:55 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will not need surgery on his injured ankle, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.

Footballguys view: As the Arizona Republic noted, some took LaFleur's answer to mean that surgery had been under consideration for Love, elevating concerns. To be clear, there has been no indication that was the case. LaFleur was responding to a reporter's question, double-checking that Love would not need surgery. When surgery is not required, a typical recovery timeline for this injury is between two and six weeks. The Cardinals kick off their season on Sept. 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers -- one month to the day after Love suffered his injury. We'll continue to watch for more.

Bears | Kyle Monangai 'week-to-week' Tue Aug 18, 01:45 PM

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is considered 'week-to-week' from his injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson.

Footballguys view: What remains up in the air is Monangai's status for Week 1. In the short term, Monangai's absence will open the door for more first-team reps for Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed. If Monangai ends up missing time into the regular season, D'Andre Swift, who averaged 16 touches per game last season, could see his touches rise to north of 20 per game. As far as who spells Swift in that scenario is concerned, the most likely option will be Johnson, who worked ahead of Ahmed in preseason Week 1.

Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton exits Tue Aug 18, 10:54 AM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton (undisclosed) left practice Tuesday, Aug. 18, on the front of the cart.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Thornton has been firmly in the mix for a top-three spot on the Chiefs' receiver depth chart throughout the offseason. If Thornton is to miss time, rookie Cyrus Allen would have an increased opportunity to make an impression on the coaching staff. We'll continue to watch for more.

Packers | Josh Jacobs back at practice Tue Aug 18, 10:48 AM

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will return to practice Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Footballguys view: Jacobs had been sidelined by a groin injury, and the expectation was he would return to work this week. Last season, Jacobs rushed for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. he also caught 36 passes for 282 yards with a TD. Jacobs is being drafted as RB17 at the end of Round 3. It's a fair price if the veteran back is working at full speed in advance of Week 1.

Bills | Keon Coleman in a boot Tue Aug 18, 10:44 AM

Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman (foot) is in a walking boot Tuesday, Aug. 18, after suffering a lower-body injury over the weekend.

Footballguys view: Coleman played in the Bills' preseason opener, catching three passes on four targets for 17 yards. While he got banged up during the game, head coach Joe Brady said that he expected the receiver to be fine. Several receivers aren't practicing on Tuesday, with Khalil Shakir also sidelined. But DJ Moore is participating in the session. We'll monitor Coleman and Shakir and report back as needed.

Broncos | Jonah Coleman continues to shine Tue Aug 18, 12:54 AM

Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman has been 'work[ing] his way up the depth chart' and could have a role in the regular season, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold, who adds that Coleman continues to get reps with the first- and second-team offenses.

Footballguys view: Coleman played 12 snaps Friday night in Atlanta and had four carries for 24 yards, with his last carry coming with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. HC Sean Payton said he's seen enough from Coleman on the practice field to get the rookie out of the preseason opener that early. "I didn't need additional evidence of what I've been seeing for three weeks," Payton said. We'll be watching for more signs that Coleman is a viable candidate for a contributing role.

Saints | Jordyn Tyson likely to miss extended time Tue Aug 18, 12:26 AM

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for around two months because of a hamstring injury. He could be a candidate for the short-term Reserve/Injured list.

Footballguys view: The Saints will be able to designate him as eligible to return if they wait to put him on the reserve list until the cut to 53 players later this month. If he does go on injured reserve, he will have to miss at least four games before returning to action. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, it's a big blow to a Saints offense that was hoping to pair Tyson with Chris Olave to give quarterback Tyler Shough a pair of dangerous receiving threats in his first full season as a starter.

Bears | Kyle Monangai to miss a few weeks Tue Aug 18, 12:25 AM

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks because of a hyperextended knee, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Monangai is slated to work behind De'Andre Swift for a second-straight year. Monangai ran for 783 yards and five touchdowns on 169 carries in that role as a rookie. He also caught 18 passes for 164 yards. In the postseason, he added 21 carries for 63 yards and five catches for 58 yards. We'll continue to watch for more.

Rams | Puka Nacua expected back next week Tue Aug 18, 12:24 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is dealing with soreness but is expected to return to practice next week, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Footballguys view: Nacua left Los Angeles' joint practice against the Cowboys last Tuesday after experiencing discomfort. Last Thursday, McVay described the issue as "a little soreness" in Nacua's psoas, a muscle connecting the lower spine to the thigh bone. At the time, McVay said he anticipated Nacua returning the following week. Considering what Nacua means to the Rams' offense, Los Angeles has little reason to push him during the preseason, but we'll see if he returns to work next week.

Commanders | Jake Moody released on Monday Tue Aug 18, 12:19 AM

Washington Commanders PK Jake Moody was released by Commanders, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 17. PK Drew Stevens has won the kicking job for the Commanders.

Footballguys view: Moody had struggled with his consistency in training camp and booted a 29-yard attempt off the right upright that fell over the crossbar in Friday's 20-7 preseason win over Miami. Meanwhile, rookie Drew Stevens has been more consistent. Three of his five misses in training camp occurred in one day, and he made a 41-yarder down the middle vs. the Dolphins. Stevens was considered to have the stronger leg. He made eight of 13 field goal attempts from beyond 50 yards in his last two seasons at Iowa. Now he's set to open the season with sole possession of the job.

Jets | Injury update for Breece Hall Mon Aug 17, 11:24 PM

Updating an earlier report, New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) got confirmation that the groin injury he suffered in practice on Monday, Aug. 17, was minor, per SNY.tv's Connor Hughes, who adds that the team will be cautious with Hall. It's believed he will be ready to go in Week 1.

Footballguys view: Coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Hall's injury during his news conference, calling it a strain and not a big deal. Hall did undergo an MRI after leaving practice early on Monday. He played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, totaling four carries for 16 yards. In 2025, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns last season and added 36 catches for 350 yards with one touchdown. He's currently being drafted as RB14 in Round 3.
