Saints | Jordyn Tyson leaves practice Thu Aug 13, 01:27 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson left practice with an apparent leg injury and did not return on Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reports are indicating this is a hamstring injury, but it's said to be not serious. That sounds great, but we're also dealing with a rookie receiver that has been limited by a hamstring injury since the NFL Scouting Combine. Tyson has incredible upside in the pros, but his rookie season may not get off to a hot start if he can't shake this hamstring issue. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice not expected to be suspended for violating probation Thu Aug 13, 10:39 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is not expected to be suspended for violating his probation, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: This gives Chiefs fans and Fantasy GMs some clarity. Rice violated his probation and spent 30 days in jail because of it. He's not getting suspended, but he is coming back from offseason knee surgery. Camp reports about Rice have been "meh" (at best), and he's been somewhat limited on certain days. Rice has a current ADP of WR13 (3.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers may be more involved soon Wed Aug 12, 04:36 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) could start participating in team drills as soon as next week, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is making his way back from the knee injury that shortened his 2025 season after just four games. Barring any sort of setback, Nabers should be able to start against the Cowboys in Week 1 of the regular season. His injury status is baked into his ADP, and currently Nabers is going off the board at WR15 (3.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Giants | Two receivers not on field Wednesday Wed Aug 12, 03:57 PM

Jets | Omar Cooper having some missteps Wed Aug 12, 03:25 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
| Footballguys view: The team moved up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select Cooper at no.30 overall. He's an outside or slot target who can win with run-after-the-catch ability (think young Deebo Samuel here). The Indiana wideout should be the team's no.3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. |
Jets | Isaiah Williams pushing for bigger role Wed Aug 12, 03:24 PM
New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams has been one of the standout performers during training camp and is pushing for the No. 3 receiver job, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka injury update Wed Aug 12, 03:04 PM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (toe) suffered a toe injury during practice Wednesday, Aug. 12, but the injury is not believed to be serious, according to source.
| Footballguys view: We're not going to be alarmists here, but toe injuries can be turf toe injuries...and those can linger. If sources say the injury is not considered serious, then all we can do is monitor Egbuka for the rest of training camp and the preseason. If healthy and ready for Week 1 (and this report makes it sound like he should be), Egbuka is a WR2/flex with upside for Fantasy GMs on a weekly basis. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka limps off Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (undisclosed) limped off the field to be examined by trainers Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation. Egbuka limped off with the help of trainers, and then watched from the sidelines. The Bucs are going to be wisely cautious with Egbuka. When we know more about the injury, we'll have more of an idea as to what kind of timeline could be needed in recovery. |
49ers | Demarcus Robinson pushing for roster spot Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson enjoyed 'another big day' at camp on Tuesday, Aug. 11, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the veteran continues to show he could function as a 'valuable backup at multiple spots' for the team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Robinson can come through for his team, just like he did in the Wild Card win over the Eagles where he snared six passes for 111 yards and one touchdown. With the addition of Deebo Samuel, Robinson has moved down the depth chart and is competing for around the no.5 spot. |

Eagles | Elijah Moore continues strong camp Wed Aug 12, 01:12 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Elijah Moore has been one of the 'primary players' to take advantage of the continued absence of WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Makai Lemon (hamstring), according to ESPN's Tim McManus.
| Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on Moore in the preseason. He's a veteran player who can make plays in practice, but he's essentially the no.5 receiver for the Eagles on their depth chart. It's good he's making plays, and with Smith/Lemon banged up guys like Moore will get more looks in the preseason. |

Free-agent TE Nick Muse (Lions) was signed by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The Falcons also have waived WR Le'Meke Brockington and LB Malik Verdon with waived/injured designations.
Link to story Rams | Puka Nacua leaves practice early Tue Aug 11, 04:16 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (undisclosed) left practice early with the trainer, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11. HC Sean McVay said he 'isn't sure what the deal is just yet.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, the injury issue comes amid a rough day for Nacua investors. Not only might he be injured, but Adam Schefter also floated the possibility that the NFL could suspend Nacua for his offseason actions. There have been claims that Nacua was allegedly involved in a "biting" incident at a bar on New Year's Eve. The case is still open. Schefter states that a suspension is "within the range of outcomes." Schefter's tidbit and a lack of information on the injury are both concerns. We'll watch for more. |

49ers | Mike Evans back at practice Tue Aug 11, 03:37 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Evans is the 49ers' prized free-agent acquisition. The longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver is entering his 13th NFL season but continues to perform at a high level. He is expected to provide quarterback Brock Purdy with the best boundary target and red-zone weapon of his career -- as long as he's on the field. We'll be monitoring Evans' health all month. Remember, his WR27 ADP and fifth-round price don't reflect Evans' historic production. |

Colts | Josh Downs returns to practice Tue Aug 11, 01:26 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, Indianapolis isn't entering this season with enough proven depth to comfortably absorb long-term injuries at wide receiver, where Alec Pierce has yet to return to full practice. That makes Downs' return from a groin injury even more significant. He missed practices over the weekend, but head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated the injury was not serious, and getting him back on the field Tuesday is an encouraging development. Downs is being drafted as WR43, a price that doesn't fully take his WR2 role into account. |

Packers | Matthew Golden back at practice Tue Aug 11, 01:21 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: While there were big expectations for Golden in his rookie year, he didn't get as many targets as expected. In 2025, Golden had 29 receptions for 361 yards. As Packers Talk suggested, this year there is more hope for Golden. The former first-round pick has already entrenched himself as one of the three starting WRs. He worked with the first team upon return Tuesday. Most likely, Golden will start as one of the Packers' outside receivers. He's being drafted as WR48. There's room for upside there. |
Ravens | Zay Flowers back at practice Tue Aug 11, 11:31 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter did not sound too concerned about Flowers after Monday's practice, so it is not too surprising to hear that he's back in the mix. Flowers, who finished as WR7 last year, is being drafted as WR15. |

Eagles | Hamstring continues to sideline DeVonta Smith Tue Aug 11, 01:34 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed practice on Monday, Aug. 10. It was the fifth practice in a row that Smith has missed due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Fellow wideouts Makai Lemon and Britain Covey have also been absent due to hamstring injuries, leaving Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as the team's top healthy wideouts. Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper should also see more first-team snaps as a result. We'll continue monitoring, but as CBSSports.com notes, Smith's hamstring injury is seemingly minor, and the lengthy absence is a precaution. |

Eagles | Makai Lemon misses fifth straight Tue Aug 11, 01:28 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not practice on Monday, Aug. 10, marking the fifth consecutive practice he's missed due a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: The team is not expressing any long-term concern, but these are meaningful reps -- especially for a rookie. Lemon missed minicamp as well with a hamstring injury. He has served primarily as the starting slot receiver when healthy, but hasn't produced many splash moments to date. It's important that Jalen Hurts gets as many snaps as possible with his skill players as the offense breaks in a new system in the post A.J. Brown era. We'll continue to monitor. |
Chiefs | Xavier Worthy makes partial return Tue Aug 11, 12:54 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) returned to the practice field on Monday, Aug. 10, but he was limited to individual work and did not take part in 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 reps.
| Footballguys view: Worthy, who missed last week's practices with a sprained right shoulder, could be a full participant later this week ahead of the preseason opener Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. We'll watch for more on that, and suggest that as WR49, a healthy Worthy's 10th round price is appealing. |
Titans | Carnell Tate continues to shine Tue Aug 11, 12:34 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed during his first training camp, per ESPN's Turron Davenport, who writes that the rookie's ability to run the full route tree is among his 'standout traits.'
| Footballguys view: According to Davenport, Tate was on the receiving end of three touchdown passes from Cam Ward on Monday. The rookie wideout caught a deep pass for a score on a go route and made an impressive catch over CBCor'Dale Flott in the corner of the end zone on another play, and he caught a quick out-breaking route for his third score. "Tate has an innate ability to attack the ball," Titans receivers coach Greg Lewis said after practice. "He can make contested catches. He has long speed and is really smooth." He's being drafted as WR30. |
Steelers | DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman sit out Tue Aug 11, 12:21 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 10.
| Footballguys view: Mike McCarthy said Pittman got banged up during the team's Saturday night practice, but the coach didn't disclose any issue with Metcalf. McCarthy has been tight-lipped about injuries and recovery timelines throughout camp. We'll be watching for more. With the pair out, Roman Wilson led off the wide receiver drills as de facto WR1. |

Broncos | Limited practice for Marvin Mims Mon Aug 10, 02:29 PM
Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (undisclosed) was limited during practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle not on field Monday Mon Aug 10, 02:22 PM
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (leg) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 10.
| Footballguys view: Waddle left last Wednesday's practice with muscle tightness. Waddle is expected to be fine going forward, but the Broncos are clearly playing it safe. He was on the field for Monday's session, getting in mental reps and doing light running on the side. |
