Link to storyBaltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane has earned a role in the offense with his play in training camp, according to head coach Jesse Minter.

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. |
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. |

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

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.

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. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins was held out of practice Saturday, Aug. 8, because he violated team rules with his fight with DE Maxx Crosby at practice, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. He is scheduled to be back on the field Monday, Aug. 10.

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (leg) exited practice early Friday, Aug. 7, after stretching his left leg, but head coach John Harbaugh said he didn't think Skattebo was dealing with anything serious.
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh said Skattebo is still "working through the football shape part of... coming off of rehab" from a severe injury and surgery. We'll trust Harbaugh, but also note that Skattebo might not be his usual self early in the season in light of this admission by Harbaugh. |
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 7, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: The team updated Price's status to missing practice with "lower body soreness". The first-round pick who backed up Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame has done everything you could have hoped to earn trust in the passing game and set himself up for a big Week 1 role. As long as his practice absence isn't extended, Price will remain prominent on the mid-round upside running back picks. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |

Link to storyKansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) will probably not play in any of the preseason games, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes ACL/LCL surgery was in December, but he was still fully cleared for camp. It sounds like we won't get to see him in live game action before the season opener, a tough matchup against Denver in Kansas City. The next three matchups are against the Colts, Dolphins, and Raiders before an early Week 5 bye, which is a boon for Mahomes and the Chiefs to check in how his knee is responding. If you have Mahomes as your fantasy quarterback, you should have a good backup and one that preferably has a good matchup in Week 1. |

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. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck completed 15 of his 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown during the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: Beck was the story of a surprisingly entertaining shootout to open the NFL preseason schedule. He was impressive enough that at least one Cardinals beat writer opined that the team needs to start Beck early in the season to see what they have him in before deciding what they will do at quarterback in 2027. This outcome was also a good sign for new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense and its ability to get wide receivers open. |
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) did not finish practice Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara's services secured for another season, the Saints have a surplus of running backs behind him and free agent signing Travis Etienne. Neal didn't look out of place on an NFL field after Kamara went down last year before his season ended with a hamstring injury. It's not clear yet whether this is the same hamstring that caused a problem last year, but if it is, Neal could be an injured reserve candidate because the team also has Kendre Miller coming back from ACL surgery (but currently sidelined with a back issue), and Audric Estime, a 2024 Broncos fifth round pick who was a pleasant surprise after Neal went down last year. |
