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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan to miss more time Mon Aug 17, 03:45 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (knee) is considered day-to-day or week-to-week because of a knee injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Expectations were high for McMillan, who suffered a serious neck injury last preseason that limited him to just four games during the 2025 season. He returned to action in Week 14. Two games later, he recorded the first 100-yard game of his career. He finished the final two weeks of the season with 12 receptions for 178 yards. During his rookie season in 2024, he totaled 37 receptions for 461 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games. We'll continue to follow up as developments warrant. |

Dolphins | Chris Bell cleared to practice Mon Aug 17, 03:22 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was activated from the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Bell, wearing a red non-contact jersey, practiced for the first time on Monday. He participated in stretching and individual drills, but he sat out of 11-on-11 work. Bell tore his ACL in December. His return to full health could potentially give Miami an exciting pair of young wide receivers. Fellow rookie Caleb Douglas has been one of the standout players at training camp and started the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Commanders. We'll continue to monitor Bell's progress. |

Rams | Puka Nacua sitting out Mon Aug 17, 02:51 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Nacua is dealing with a core muscle injury suffered during last week's joint practice with the Cowboys. The Rams will host the Saints for a preseason matchup on Saturday afternoon. Nacua was not expected to play even without being injured, as Los Angeles has not traditionally played starters in the preseason under head coach Sean McVay, who told reporters that Nacua should return to practice next week. We'll continue to watch this one closely. |

Falcons | Atlanta adding Beaux Collins Mon Aug 17, 02:07 PM
Free-agent WR Beaux Collins (Giants) agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons Monday, Aug. 17, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Collins, 23, signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2025. He played nine games as a rookie last season, catching two passes for 25 yards. Collins saw action on 84 offensive snaps and 109 on special teams before going on injured reserve, where he finished the season. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith back on field Mon Aug 17, 02:05 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) participated in practice Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Smith missed the last couple of weeks with his hamstring injury, so his return is obviously good news. The Eagles' pre-practice injury report said that Smith will be a limited participant. Smith's return means that the Eagles are now only waiting for Makai Lemon to fill out their receiver group. Lemon is also dealing with a hamstring injury and has been out since early August. |

Jets | No practice for Garrett Wilson Mon Aug 17, 01:51 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (illness) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 17, because of an illness.
| Footballguys view: Jets coach Aaron Glenn said the issue was a stomach bug. As CBSSports.com suggested, assuming Wilson is able to move past the illness and regain strength within the next few days, his preparation for the start of the regular season shouldn't be dramatically affected. Wilson, who's being drafted as WR20 with a fourth-round price, suited up for the Jets' preseason opener Friday against the Buccaneers and displayed a strong early connection with new starting quarterback Geno Smith, recording two catches for 32 yards on three targets in limited snaps. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel suffers setback Mon Aug 17, 12:48 AM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (hamstring, finger) will miss a few weeks after suffering a setback, according to wide receivers coach Ben McDaniels.
| Footballguys view: Noel, sidelined by a minor finger issue, was activated from the NFI list and was working off to the side in wide receiver drills to get back on the field. But Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports that Noel is now dealing with a hamstring injury in addition to the finger injury. It's a tough break for the Texans' second-year wideout, who, while he's expected to see a big bump in opportunities in 2026, can't seem to get on the field in training camp. We'll follow up as developments warrant. |

Dolphins | Jalen Reagor works as No. 3 receiver Sun Aug 16, 04:50 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Jalen Reagor worked as the No. 3 receiver in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Commanders. He was working ahead of WRs Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, and others, seeing reps alongside WRs Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington. 'He had earned the right through practices to put himself in that situation,' head coach Jeff Hafley said. 'I like the way he strained. He's catching the ball well. Run after the catch has good. He's blocking well.'

Chiefs | Cyrus Allen targeted five times Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen caught two of his team-high five targets for 20 yards in the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Allen has done nothing to slow down the momentum he has been building as a player who will be active and part of the offense immediately as a fifth round rookie. Given that neither Rashee Rice or Xavier Worthy is 100% right now and neither is known for durability, Allen should be a priority player on your late round target list. |

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane finds the end zone Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane finished with three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The hype train for Lane is not slowing down. He is firmly in the top three Ravens wide receivers, and could overtake Rashod Bateman in the target pecking order soon at this rate. Lane should be on your late round target list, with extra value in .5 and nonPPR leagues as a deep threat and playmaker. |
Browns | KC Concepcion runs for TD Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion caught three of his four targets for 27 yards and added a 14-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion looked like he is going to play a significant role in this offense, given his talent for adding yards after the catch on safe, high percentage short throws. This was the domain of Harold Fannin Jr. last year, so the rise of Concepcion might not bode well for Fannin's ceiling even though he should be even better in his second season. Concepcion remains worth a pick in the second half of your draft as a speculative bench stash, especially in PPR leagues, but if he and fellow rookie Denzel Boston are hits, Fannin probably won't live up to expectations. |

Bills | Two Buffalo receivers banged up on Saturday Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Buffalo Bills WRs DJ Moore (ankle) and Keon Coleman (lower body) were both tended to on the sideline, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 15. Trainers attended to Moore's ankle area after the second drive, but he stood on sidelines for the rest of the game. Coleman was tackled on third offensive drive after his last catch favored the lower body.
| Footballguys view: The injury mechanism for Moore looked like it could have been a high ankle sprain, but head coach Joe Brady said that Moore was "good to go" after the game. We'll wait to see his practice participation this week before closing the book on this injury scare. Coleman's injury is more mysterious, and maybe a bigger concern. Brady said he was okay after the game, but Coleman was wearing a walking boot while walking his dog in an instagram post made after the game. Coleman scored the first touchdown in the Bills new stadium and appeared to be gaining some momentum before the injury. |

Eagles | Darius Cooper plays 29 snaps in preseason opener Sun Aug 16, 02:58 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Darius Cooper, who is making a strong bid for a roster spot, played 29 offensive snaps, or 66 percent of the plays, in the preseason opener Saturday, Aug. 15, against the Baltimore Ravens. He led the team with 21 receiving yards on two receptions with a team-high five targets.

Raiders | Malik Benson sees first-team reps Sun Aug 16, 02:46 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has been getting first-team reps with the offense in practice. 'He's earned those reps but he's got to stay humble and stay hungry,' head coach Klint Kubiak said Sunday, Aug. 16.
| Footballguys view: Deep dynasty league players should have Benson on their radar, especially in .5/nonPPR leagues or leagues with big play bonuses. His deep speed is as good as any receiver in the class, and it sounds like he is taking to NFL coaching in his first training camp. |
