Eagles | Hamstring continues to sideline DeVonta Smith Tue Aug 11, 01:34 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed practice on Monday, Aug. 10. It was the fifth practice in a row that Smith has missed due to a hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: Fellow wideouts Makai Lemon and Britain Covey have also been absent due to hamstring injuries, leaving Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as the team's top healthy wideouts. Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper should also see more first-team snaps as a result. We'll continue monitoring, but as CBSSports.com notes, Smith's hamstring injury is seemingly minor, and the lengthy absence is a precaution.

Eagles | Makai Lemon misses fifth straight Tue Aug 11, 01:28 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not practice on Monday, Aug. 10, marking the fifth consecutive practice he's missed due a hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: The team is not expressing any long-term concern, but these are meaningful reps -- especially for a rookie. Lemon missed minicamp as well with a hamstring injury. He has served primarily as the starting slot receiver when healthy, but hasn't produced many splash moments to date. It's important that Jalen Hurts gets as many snaps as possible with his skill players as the offense breaks in a new system in the post A.J. Brown era. We'll continue to monitor.

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy makes partial return Tue Aug 11, 12:54 AM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) returned to the practice field on Monday, Aug. 10, but he was limited to individual work and did not take part in 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 reps.

Footballguys view: Worthy, who missed last week's practices with a sprained right shoulder, could be a full participant later this week ahead of the preseason opener Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. We'll watch for more on that, and suggest that as WR49, a healthy Worthy's 10th round price is appealing.

Titans | Carnell Tate continues to shine Tue Aug 11, 12:34 AM

Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed during his first training camp, per ESPN's Turron Davenport, who writes that the rookie's ability to run the full route tree is among his 'standout traits.'

Footballguys view: According to Davenport, Tate was on the receiving end of three touchdown passes from Cam Ward on Monday. The rookie wideout caught a deep pass for a score on a go route and made an impressive catch over CBCor'Dale Flott in the corner of the end zone on another play, and he caught a quick out-breaking route for his third score. "Tate has an innate ability to attack the ball," Titans receivers coach Greg Lewis said after practice. "He can make contested catches. He has long speed and is really smooth." He's being drafted as WR30.

Colts | Anthony Richardson not a lock for backup job Tue Aug 11, 12:25 AM

Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson is 'in a fight' for the No. 2 quarterback position with QB Riley Leonard, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder, who writes that both players have dealt with inconsistency thus far in camp.

Footballguys view: Richardson requested a trade in February and was granted permission to speak with other clubs to see if a deal might materialize. Nothing did, so Richardson is back trying to re-establish himself with the organization. Richardson on Sunday said his accuracy needs to be more consistent. He and Leonard will split preseason snaps as their competition continues.

Steelers | DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman sit out Tue Aug 11, 12:21 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Mike McCarthy said Pittman got banged up during the team's Saturday night practice, but the coach didn't disclose any issue with Metcalf. McCarthy has been tight-lipped about injuries and recovery timelines throughout camp. We'll be watching for more. With the pair out, Roman Wilson led off the wide receiver drills as de facto WR1.

Texans | Brevin Jordan dealing with injury Tue Aug 11, 12:20 AM

Houston Texans TE Brevin Jordan (knee) is considered day-to-day because of a knee injury, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.

Footballguys view: As Fansided's Clayton Anderson noted, after missing the last two NFL seasons due to multiple knee injuries, Jordan's opportunities to show his value to the organization were slowly dissipating. That said, there is no reason to believe it's a severe injury at this point. It does put his availability for Thursday's preseason game versus the Chargers into question. According to CBSSports.com, until Jordan is back, rookie second-rounder Marlin Klein could see an uptick in reps.

Dolphins | Zane Gonzalez placed on IR Mon Aug 10, 04:10 PM

Miami Dolphins PK Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Gonzalez has been competing with Riley Patterson, who was excellent for the Dolphins last year, making 93% of his field goals - a franchise record. As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted this week, Gonzalez has been the more accurate kicker to date in camp, but there's no reason to believe the Dolphins won't be comfortable rolling with Patterson again this fall. Gonzales, meanwhile, will miss the entire season unless the Dolphins release him.

Broncos | Bo Nix unsure about preseason game Mon Aug 10, 03:26 PM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix said he is not sure if he will play in the first preseason game.

Footballguys view: With Nix coming off ankle surgery and having a history of ankle injuries, a cautious approach to exhibition action makes sense. As USA Today suggested, if Nix stays healthy, the Broncos could make another deep playoff run this season. To play at his best, though, the QB will continue to make plays with his legs, and his ability to avoid hits and stay on the field will be a key storyline going into the 2026 campaign.

Dolphins | Greg Dulcich takes part in practice Mon Aug 10, 03:26 PM

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (hand) fully participated in practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Dulcich has been working in a red no-contact jersey. He's dealing with a right hand or finger injury that was reportedly heavily taped, so his return to full-contact work is encouraging. Once healthy, Dulcich is expected to operate as the top receiving tight end in a new-look Dolphins offense that lacks an established pecking order among its pass catchers.

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins leaves early Mon Aug 10, 02:34 PM

Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) left practice early Monday, Aug. 10, because of an undisclosed reason.

Footballguys view: Dobbins jogged off the field into the locker room with trainers during Monday's training camp practice. Dobbins left about midway through practice and did not return, according to reporters on site. Broncos coach Sean Payton was asked about Dobbins after practice. "Soft tissue; I think he's going to be fine," Payton said. "We're just being smart with it." We'll watch for more, but Dobbins' practice participation could be impacted ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons.

Broncos | Limited practice for Marvin Mims Mon Aug 10, 02:29 PM

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (undisclosed) was limited during practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Mims pulled up in discomfort while running a route on Friday, but he was on the field in pads Monday, working on the side. He appears to be on track to return soon.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle not on field Monday Mon Aug 10, 02:22 PM

Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (leg) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Waddle left last Wednesday's practice with muscle tightness. Waddle is expected to be fine going forward, but the Broncos are clearly playing it safe. He was on the field for Monday's session, getting in mental reps and doing light running on the side.

49ers | No practice for Christian McCaffrey Mon Aug 10, 02:03 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 10, because of tightness.

Footballguys view: Monday's practice is the first one the 30-year-old RB has missed in this year's camp. As USA Today's Kyle Madson suggested, given McCaffrey's importance to the 49ers, it's not a huge surprise they'd be cautious with any issue he's having. Even general tightness isn't worth pushing on Aug. 10 with a joint practice against the Tennessee Titans looming Tuesday. It's unclear whether McCaffrey will be ready in time to participate in that joint session. We'll follow up, but there's nothing to indicate McCaffrey will be out for any prolonged period.

Browns | Denzel Boston to work with starters Mon Aug 10, 01:12 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston will start working with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.

Footballguys view: Akron Beacon Journal beat writer Chris Easterling told us late last month that Boston was arguably the offseason MVP for Cleveland's offense. Given his size and physical style of play, Easterling believes Boston could emerge as more than a threat in the red zone; he might also draw the most targets and catch more passes than the rest of the team's wideouts. KC Concepcion, as WR51, is currently the first Browns receiver off the board, in the 11th round. Boston is WR60, available in Round 13. The team's quarterback will be a factor here, but Boston's drumbeat is getting louder.

Lions | Isiah Pacheco has sprained MCL Mon Aug 10, 11:40 AM

Detroit Lions RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament.

Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Campbell suggested Pacheco will miss some time. Campbell said he expects Pacheco to return before Detroit's Week 1 home contest against the New Orleans Saints and that he's "not concerned" about the injury. Expect Pacheco to remain the top backup to Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco's primary competition for snaps behind Gibbs, Sione Vaki, is currently sidelined by a broken nose.

Patriots | Hunter Henry extended Mon Aug 10, 09:46 AM

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry signed a two-year, $16 million extension Monday, Aug. 10. The deal is worth up to $20 million and includes $14.5 million guaranteed and a $4.2 million signing bonus.

Footballguys view: Henry has been one of quarterback Drake Maye's go-to targets in critical situations. Henry has logged 40-plus receptions in each of his five seasons with the Patriots, which is the second-longest streak by a Patriots tight end all time behind Ben Coates' six. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he totaled a career-high 768 receiving yards and enters this year third on the franchise's all-time list for receptions among tight ends (259). Henry, who finished 2025 as TE9, is being drafted as TE19.

Colts | Daniel Jones unlikely to play Thursday Mon Aug 10, 01:11 AM

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones is expected to practice in a joint session with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, Aug. 11, but he is not expected to play in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.

Footballguys view: Fantasy investors shouldn't read anything into this. According to The Athletic's James Boyd, the 29-year-old signal caller has looked about as healthy as anyone could have hoped, considering he's only eight months removed from undergoing surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon. Boyd added that Jones has been sharp in camp, with his accuracy and velocity turning heads, but it's his mobility that's really stood out. He's taken off on a handful of scrambles, and it's impossible to tell he was ever injured. Boyd's reporting mirrors what we've heard from others, yet Jones is still going as QB24.

Buccaneers | Chris Godwin returning to form? Mon Aug 10, 12:58 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is 'a lot healthier right now' than he has been in recent years, according to head coach Todd Bowles. 'He is still a playmaker for us, and he makes big plays in the passing and blocking game,' Bowles said. 'He is peaking at the right time.'

Footballguys view: In addition to being healthy, ESPN's Jenna Laine reports that Godwin has looked "energized: throughout practices, and we've seen him show some versatility in lining up all over the formation. According to Footballguy Matt Waldman, Godwin will likely be Baker Mayfield's favorite red-zone target and contend for the team lead in touchdowns. Waldman added, "The danger of a decline is near," but at Godwin's price -- he's WR40 -- the risk isn't great.

Ravens | Tyler Loop locked in Mon Aug 10, 12:55 AM

Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop made all eight of his field goal attempts during practice Sunday, Aug. 9, including three kicks from 50-plus yards.

Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Loop had a great rookie year after the team drafted him in the sixth round to replace longtime kicker Justin Tucker, but he missed a kick to win the AFC North and send the team to the playoffs against the Steelers. So there was some question about how he would respond in 2026. So far, so good. There are no signs that Loop's confidence has been permanently shaken.

Bills | Skyler Bell might struggle to routinely play Mon Aug 10, 12:55 AM

Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell has shown good separation skills and releases at the line during scrimmages. However, Bell's ball skills have held him back, and he appears to be behind the top four WRs DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer at this point.

Footballguys view: While Bell is expected to be a roster lock, his game-day role is expected to be determined by how he finishes through the team's three preseason games. Especially if the Bills keep Mecole Hardman as a sixth receiver and their primary punt returner, the Athletic's Joe Buscaglia contends it wouldn't be stunning if Bell begins the regular season as a healthy scratch.

Colts | Nick Westbrook-Ikhine battling for WR3 job Mon Aug 10, 12:50 AM

Indianapolis Colts WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been having a great training camp, and he has strengthened his case to be the team's third receiver behind WRs Josh Downs and Alec Pierce.

Footballguys view: While veterans Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell have made a few plays, neither has been as consistent as Westbrook-Ikhine. According to The Athletic's James Boyd, the 29-year-old always seems to be in the right place at the right time, and the chemistry he's building with Daniel Jones is easy to notice. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off a down year with the Miami Dolphins (11 receptions, 89 yards in 15 games). However, he totaled 32 catches for 497 yards and nine touchdowns with the Tennessee Titans in 2024, and so far, he's showing he's still capable of being a quality contributor.

Colts | DJ Giddens nursing hamstring injury Sun Aug 9, 05:13 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, allowing rookie RB Seth McGowan to take first- and second-team reps. Giddens has also dropped a few passes in training camp when he has been on the field. RB Ulysses Bentley IV has also made a push for the third job, putting additional pressure on Giddens.

Colts | Blake Grupe, Spencer Shrader continue to battle Sun Aug 9, 05:11 PM

Colts | Seth McGowan has carved out role Sun Aug 9, 05:06 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Seth McGowan has emerged as the top running back behind RB Jonathan Taylor, as the team likes his bruising running style and soft hands out of the backfield. If he wants to carve out a consistent role, he needs to improve in pass protection.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (groin) suffered a groin injury in practice Saturday, Aug. 8, and he is expected to 'miss a little time', according to a source.

Colts | Riley Leonard, Anthony Richardson to play Thursday Sun Aug 9, 04:32 PM

Indianapolis Colts QBs Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson are each expected to play in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 13, against the New England Patriots. Head coach Shane Steichen said the plan is to play the two signal callers, which means QB Daniel Jones isn't expected to be in action.
