Broncos | Denver with flurry of moves on Saturday Sat Aug 8, 05:34 PM

Free-agent WRs Kyre Duplessis, Kyrese Rowan, and DB Ricardo Hallman were signed by the Denver Broncos, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 8. The Broncos also waived CB Sam Webb.

Bears | Leg injury for Luther Burden Sat Aug 8, 03:06 PM

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (leg) left practice early Saturday, Aug. 8, after suffering an apparent leg injury.

Footballguys view: Burden got tangled up with CB Tyrique Stevenson, who finished practice, but was reportedly fighting through some pain. Burden got to the weight room on his own power, but was reportedly walking "gingerly". We will hold our collective breath while we wait for an update. Kalif Raymond is experienced in Ben Johnson's offense from their time together in Detroit, and he would be the next man up while Burden is on the mend.

Ravens | Rashod Bateman moving around Sat Aug 8, 02:31 PM

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman said he has been lining up at multiple positions during practices, and believes he can be more than a one-dimensional player in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's system.

Footballguys view: Bateman was a dud last year as the #2 receiver, but this sounds like a plan that could create conditions for a bounceback season. Bateman still isn't worth drafting in typical redraft leagues, but this should put him on our early season waiver wire watch list.

Eagles | Two receivers unable to practice Sat Aug 8, 02:01 PM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Britain Covey (hamstring) and WR Danny Gray (concussion) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.

Eagles | No practice for Makai Lemon Sat Aug 8, 02:01 PM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.

Footballguys view: Lemon missed some time with a hamstring issue in OTAs but was reportedly 100% at the beginning of training camp. Since he's a rookie, missing this much time is a bad sign for his ability to be fantasy relevant, at least early in the season. Lemon's ADP should be dropping in redraft leagues, and Dontayvion Wicks should be on our early season waiver wire watch list as the likely #2 receiver to begin the season.

Eagles | DeVonta Smith remains sidelined Sat Aug 8, 01:46 PM

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.

Footballguys view: Another day passes with no change to Smith's status. Hopefully he will return to practice soon and get a few sessions in without incident so we can feel safe drafting him at an elevated ADP that assumes he will be a high volume #1 receiver with AJ Brown traded to New England. If Smith's hamstring issues persist into the season, it will be a problem for the whole offense, not just Smith's fantasy stock.

Ravens | Zay Flowers day-to-day Sat Aug 8, 01:29 PM

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) is considered day-to-day because of a quadriceps contusion, according to head coach Jesse Minter.

Colts | Josh Downs sitting out Sat Aug 8, 01:27 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) is not participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.

Footballguys view: With Alec Pierce still lacking a timeline on when he can play again after having offseason ankle surgery, the Colts wide receiver group is in dire shape right now. The team has been linked to Keenan Allen multiple times. This could be the development that pushes them over the edge to sign the veteran, who has experience with head coach Shane Steichen when both were with the Chargers.

Raiders | Jalen Nailor not on field Friday, returns Saturday Sat Aug 8, 01:14 PM

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jalen Nailor (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 7, but returned to practice on Saturday.

Footballguys view: Nailor could lead the Raiders wide receivers in targets, although he won't be the leading target earner on the team - that's Brock Bowers. JJ McCarthy had the most success throwing downfield to Nailor last year, so the free agent signing could have some fantasy value as a bye/injury depth play, especially in .5 and nonPPR leagues.

Broncos | Marvin Mims injured Friday Sat Aug 8, 01:14 PM

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (undisclosed) left practice early after suffering an undisclosed injury Friday, Aug. 7.

Footballguys view: Mims pulled up on a go route. He was seen in a jersey and hoodie on Saturday and will miss the controlled scrimmage with head coach Sean Payton in Canton to support Drew Brees at his Hall of Fame induction.

Patriots | Romeo Doubs back on practice Sat Aug 8, 01:14 PM

New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (undisclosed) participated in practice Friday, Aug. 7, after missing the previous two practices because of an injury.

Footballguys view: There were no outward signs that Doubs absence was ominous, but when teams don't disclose information about injuries, we always need to err on the side of caution. Now that Doubs is back on the practice field, we can take him off of our injured player to monitor list. Doubs has been working as the #2 receiver behind AJ Brown, with Demario Douglas playing the slot in three wide receiver sets. All observers are reporting that Kayshon Boutte has been outstanding in camp, but Drake Maye continues to talk about his presence on the team in uncertain terms, so we're still on the lookout for a trade. If Boutte doesn't get dealt, that will complicate Doubs fantasy outlook.

Ravens | Zay Flowers leaves practice, day-to-day with quad contusion Sat Aug 8, 01:05 PM

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (leg) left practice early Saturday, Aug. 8, because of a leg injury.

Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter said Flowers is day-to-day with a quad contusion, so basically, he suffered a bruise in a collision with another player. We don't have to worry about this in Flowers' outlook this season, but the scare may encourage the Ravens to kick the tires on some veteran wide receivers since most of their depth chart after Flowers is made up of inexperienced players.

Washington Commanders WR Chris Hilton Jr. was released Saturday, Aug. 8.

Raiders | Dont'e Thornton Jr. banged up Fri Aug 7, 09:10 PM

Browns | KC Concepcion injures shoulder Fri Aug 7, 01:53 PM

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion told reports he has an AC joint sprain in his shoulder from falling on it, but he is fine, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.

Footballguys view: Concepcion and fellow Browns high draft pick Denzel Boston have stolen the show in camp and are on the fast track to be primary targets at wide receiver. We'll monitor the Cleveland practice reports to make sure he doesn't have a recurrence of the injury.

Browns | Jamari Thrash waived by Cleveland Fri Aug 7, 01:17 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Jamari Thrash was waived by the team on Friday, Aug. 7.

Texans | Jaylin Noel activated by Houston Fri Aug 7, 01:02 PM

Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel was activated from the Non-Football Injury list on Friday, Aug. 7.

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.

49ers | Mike Evans works on the side Thu Aug 6, 10:42 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Aug. 6, but he did individual work on the side.

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.

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.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle expected back Thu Aug 6, 03:26 PM

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling back at practice Thu Aug 6, 01:10 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

Panthers | Xavier Legette injury update Thu Aug 6, 12:58 AM

Updating an earlier report, Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (neck) suffered a stinger during practice on Tuesday, Aug. 4. As a result, Legette will not play in the team's preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, Aug. 6.
