Bears | Kyle Monangai limited Thu Sep 4, 05:26 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 4. The Bears did not hold a practice Thursday, so this is an estimation.
Footballguys view: Monangai is going to get some time behind D'Andre Swift in Week 1 against the Vikings. We love his upside in dynasty formats, and in re-draft leagues he might be worth a 'what the heck' flex early on. |
New Orleans Saints OG Trevor Penning (toe) and DE Chase Young (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 4. S Jordan Howden (oblique) and CB Alontae Taylor (groin) were limited during practice. DT Khristian Boyd (hand) fully participated in practice.

Houston Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is expected to miss at least Week 1 because of a strained hamstring, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Now we have more clarity on this situation. The Texans were relying on Kirk to be the no.2 receiver behind only Nico Collins. Now, they'll turn to their Iowa State rookie duo of Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. We think Noel could be the one taking over for Kirk in the slot for the Texans. |

Houston Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is not participating in practice Thursday, Sept. 4.
Footballguys view: Kirk is supposed to be the no.2 receiver for the Texans behind only Nico Collins. Behind Kirk, rookie WR Jayden Higgins and WR Jaylin Noel will compete to establish a pecking order. We'll see if the Texans have to rely on those rookies more in Week 1 if Kirk can't play. |

Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman (groin) was spotted at practice on Thursday Sept. 4, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reported. He was a limited participant on Wednesday.
Footballguys view: Good news for the Bills here. The big-bodied, second-year pro can be a red-zone threat for QB Josh Allen. We love Coleman in dynasty, and in Week 1 we like him as a 'what the heck' flex. |
Las Vegas Raiders WR Amari Cooper announced his retirement on Thursday, Sept. 4.
Footballguys view: Cooper just signed with the Raiders on August 25th. After 10 years in the NFL, Cooper decided to hang up his cleats. He finishes his career with 708 catches, 10,018 yards, and 64 receiving touchdowns. This retirement opens the door for a rookie we love in Donte Thornton. This week against the Patriots, we like Thornton as a 'what the heck' flex. |

Baltimore Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) did not practice on Thursday, Sept. 4, The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reported. Likely hasn't practiced since foot surgery on Aug. 1.
Footballguys view: Likely may not play in Week 1. That creates more opportunities for Mark Andrews as the Ravens take on the Bills. |
Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday, Sept. 4, and longer appears on the injury report for the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Footballguys view: We'll see if Brown's speed has been impacted by this ankle injury. Brown is a deep flex play for Friday's game in Brazil. |

Updating previous reports, New York Jets OG Alijah Vera-Tucker (triceps) will miss the entire season with a torn triceps.
Link to storyFree-agent PK Matt Prater (Cardinals) was signed to the Buffalo Bills' practice squad Thursday, Sept. 4.
Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation as Prater could be called up for Week 1 against the Ravens. Bills K Tyler Bass is dealing with a groin injury that could keep him out of action. Last year, Prater was perfect (6-for-6) for the Cardinals before missing the rest of the season with a torn meniscus. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings reached an agreement on a revised contract Thursday, Sept. 3, that will add $3 million in playing-time incentives. He can now earn $10.5 million instead of $7.5 million in 2025.
Footballguys view: Jennings has been wanting a new contract this summer, but the team gives him a bump in incentives instead. This is similar to what the Broncos did last year with Courtland Sutton (and Sutton got all his incentives). Jennings will have the opportunity to hit his incentives with the injuries at the position. Ricky Pearsall and Jennings should get plenty of work, especially early on while Brandon Aiyuk takes time to recover from his knee injury. |

New York Giants OT Andrew Thomas restructured his contract Thursday, Sept. 4, which freed up $12.2 million in salary cap space.
Link to storyDenver Broncos LB Nik Bonitto agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $120 million Thursday, Sept. 4. The deal guarantees him $70 million and makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in club history.
Footballguys view: Bonitto is one of the best pure rushers in the league. The Broncos have been working on his deal for some time, as he was a priority for them this offseason. Now, Bonitto is well paid and a key cog on arguably the league's best defense. |
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard 'won't be ran dry' early in the season, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Hubbard had almost 300 touches last year (250 carries, 43 receptions) as a workhorse for the Panthers. Perhaps this year, the team will give Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne some more work to give Hubbard a breather. This week against Jacksonville, we like Hubbard as an RB2 with upside. |

Free-agent WR Malik Cunningham (Ravens), free-agent WR Jerjuan Newton (Broncos) and free-agent WR Kendric Pryor (Bengals) worked out for the Detroit Lions Wednesday, Sept. 3.
Footballguys view: The Lions are just updating their emergency list here. Newton did some good things for the Broncos in training camp, and Cunningham is a converted quarterback with intriguing athleticism. |
