Former Carolina Panthers WR Kobe Prentice was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots Saturday, July 25, according to a source.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is still talking with the Saints about a possible contract extension, but his practice participation is not expected to affected by the contract talks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Olave is set to play the 2026 season on his fifth-year option, but there could be a new extension done before the start of the regular season. He's gained some muscle this offseason, and reports indicate he's looked 'great' in limited work. Olave and the Saints have been talking for some time, and there was hope a deal could get done before the start of camp. They're still talking, but we have to see if any movement comes from these most recent conversations. |
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford is healthy but will not participate in practice Sunday, July 26, since the team will have a plan for his workload during training camp in hopes of keeping him fresh for the regular season, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Last year, Stafford was quite limited in camp and the preseason. Then, he went on to have an MVP season for the Rams. They are hoping a similar approach in this year's camp/preseason will keep the future Hall of Fame QB playing at those MVP levels. |

Free-agent TE Tanner McLachlan (Chargers) agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers Saturday, July 25. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Khalil Dinkins (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk will remain on the left squad list, and the team will focus on the players that reported for training camp, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk has proclaimed that he would sign with the Commanders this offseason if the 49ers released him. Lynch made it sound like that's not going to happen anytime in the near future, so the NFL world waits (some more) for this Aiyuk situation to work itself out. Aiyuk did not play at all last year, and the last time he caught a pass in an NFL game was Week 7 of the 2024 season. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo tore his pec lifting weights earlier this spring, and the plan was for him to be ready somewhere near the end of training camp. On the PUP list, Guerendo can be activated at any time during camp/preseason. When healthy, Guerendo is competing for a backup spot behind starting RB Christian McCaffrey with guys like Jordan James and Kaelon Black. |
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Reports from earlier this month suggest Kittle is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Kittle admitted that he's had no setbacks earlier this offseason, and he believes that he's on track to play in Week 1. He has a current ADP of TE9 (9.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Cincinnati Bengals TE Josh Kattus (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Saturday, July 25.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams first-round draft choice QB Ty Simpson agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Rams Saturday, July 25, worth $25.4 million. The deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: The no.13 overall pick (that sent shockwaves around the NFL) can be seen as a future developmental starter for the Rams, and Simpson should be a good fit for the Sean McVay offense. While the Rams plan to manage QB Matthew Stafford's training camp reps, Simpson gets to impress the staff while competing with Stetson Bennett for the no.2 job. |
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua will report to training camp on time and participate in practices even though he is entering the final year of his contract, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: There was some speculation that Nacua could hold out as he seeks a new contract. One of the league's best receivers, Nacua has had a tumultuous offseason to say the least. Nacua could have to play out the year without an extension, even though Rams HC Sean McVay says he wants Nacua to be a Ram for a "really long time." We'll see him out there in camp, and then we'll monitor any progress on a new contract. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not take any snaps during the 11-on-11 portion of training camp practice Friday, July 24. However, he did some individual work and threw passes to WR Marvin Harrison Jr. after practice.
| Footballguys view: Brissett is set to be the starter for the Cardinals this year, but he's still playing on the two-year, $12.5 million contract he signed to backup Kyler Murray a year ago. Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said the team has had "productive" negotiations with Brissett as they work toward a new contract. Once a new contract is worked out, Brissett should work as the starter in all drills. |

Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas could be used on special teams, at wide receiver and in the backfield this season.
| Footballguys view: Another day, and another report about Thomas being used in a variety of ways. The rookie receiver from LSU has been impressing this offseason, and Dynasty GMs are loving the news. Veteran WR Kalif Raymond should be the Bears' no.3 receiver behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. However, Thomas and that world-class speed are going to be tempting to get on the field - both on offense and special teams. Expect Thomas to push Raymond for snaps as the season goes on. |
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has a chance to earn a starting role this season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Texas Tech in the 2026 NFL Draft, Douglas has a great size-speed combination. With a large wingspan and the ability to take the top off the defense, Douglas could be a big-play weapon for QB Malik Willis. However, he needs to play with more physicality at the catch point and cut down on his concentration drops to truly play up to his potential. We'll see in training camp and the preseason how the Dolphins' WR depth chart shapes up with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Douglas competing for the top spots. |
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) 'looks fast' during practice, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'He looks like the guy that I remember, and I'm really excited for that,' Canales said.
| Footballguys view: Brooks has been getting first-team reps in training camp, and there have been no limitations on him as he comes back from another knee injury. Most of his pro career has been missed due to ACL injuries, but expect a healthy Brooks to push for the eventual starting job in Carolina. At the beginning of the season, we expect Brooks and Chuba Hubbard to work in a RBBC. Brooks has a current ADP of RB38 (8.12) in 12-team PPR leagues. Injury risk is already cooked into his draft position, and clearly the upside is there for Brooks to do more. |
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) has been able to practice at training camp after missing time during spring activities with a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: While limited in the spring, McMillan was planning on being ready for the start of training camp - which he is. He had a spectacular season as a rookie (70 catches, 1,014 yards, seven touchdowns), so Fantasy GMs are taking him at WR17 (4.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. With reports suggesting McMillan will play more 'big slot' this year, he could outperform his ADP. |
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris is expected to be 'a legitimate part of the passing offense' in 2026, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This has been a consistent drumbeat this offseason - everyone is expecting a breakout season from Harris. The second-year pro has incredible run-after-the-catch skill, something that should serve him well in a Mike McDaniel offense. We like Harris as a WR7 for your fantasy team, and this positive offseason buzz means Fantasy GMs should be considering him a late-round flier. |
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) said he will start wearing a knee brace on his surgically repaired knee but does not knee if he will remove the brace at some point.
| Footballguys view: We'll see how Mahomes likes playing with the brace through training camp and the preseason. Mahomes has said that he plans to do "everything" he did before, and his recovery shows he's on track to do that. However, Mahomes has admitted that he might have run a bit too much last year. He plans to hand the ball off to RB Kenneth Walker "if all else fails" and "let him go to work." |

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) practiced Thursday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: It is important that Conner practices so that he can retain trade value for the Cardinals, who have four viable running backs, and potential fantasy value as a target for any team that needs a veteran running back to bolster their depth chart or replace a starter who goes down with a practice or preseason injury. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is scheduled to participate in practice Thursday, July 23, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: There's no holdout here, as reportedly "productive" talks to add compensation to Brissett's contract are ongoing. Brissett is on track to start Week 1, but it sems unlikely that he will be starting in Week 18, and he could be replaced by fourth round pick Carson Beck once the team is out of playoff contention, or even once they have an extended losing streak. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: This won't be confirmed until Nabers passes a physical, but it is a turn to a more optimistic view of Nabers recovery from knee surgery than we heard during the offseason. His ADP is likely to spike back into the second round, and Jaxson Dart's stock could also be lifted by this news. Still, it was reported elsewhere yesterday that Nabers has a "realistic chance" of playing Week 1, which indicates that this isn't exactly a routine return from a routine knee surgery. Nabers had a second surgery around late April/early May to "clean up" scar tissue that was causing stiffness. We will be monitoring this closely, stay tuned. |

New England Patriots WR Jimmy Kibble (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, July 24.
Link to storyKansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) has been cleared to practice during training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: This is good news after Rice had a minor knee surgery and then immediately reported to jail for 30 days for a probation violation. He was allowed to leave jail for injury rehab, and the surgery was in May, so as long as Rice doesn't have a setback, we can consider him healthy. |

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) has clearance to practice 'fully,' according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise now, but it would have been right after he suffered a catastrophic knee injury and had surgery on December 15. That means he has been cleared to practice fully a little over seven months after going under the knife. He's just built different, mentally and physically. Still, you have to wonder if the team will limit his running, at least early in the season, which was a big source of fantasy value for Mahomes last year. |
