New York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the Giants here. Austin had been an impressive player this offseason, and many were speculating he would play a sizable role in the Giants' offense as the slot receiver. Now, the Giants could turn to Malachai Fields as an option behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Darnell Mooney. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf restructures Thu Aug 27, 10:35 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf restructured his contract Thursday, Aug. 27, converting base salary into a signing bonus and creating nearly $18 million in 2026 salary cap space.
| Footballguys view: Signed through the 2029 season, this moves frees up cap space and gives the Steelers more flexibility in the future. Metcalf has missed time in training camp dealing with an undisclosed injury, but the veteran receiver insists that he'll be ready for Week 1. He's got a current ADP of WR27 (8.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Giants | Bigger role for Darnell Mooney Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney saw an 'increased workload' during practice Wednesday, Aug. 26, following the injury to WR Calvin Austin (knee), according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Mooney signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Giants this offseason ($3 million in dead money, $7 million in incentives). Drops, injuries, and inconsistent play plagued Mooney's game last year with the Falcons. He may never be the 1,000-yard receiver he used to be with the Bears (2021), but Mooney gives the Giants a veteran presence as their no.3 receiver behind Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. |

Colts | Minor injury for Josh Downs Wed Aug 26, 04:54 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (calf) is dealing with a calf injury but expects to return to practice in the near future.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Downs had to miss some time in camp with a groin issue. Now, it's a minor calf injury that is keeping him out of action. When healthy, we could see Downs and Keenan Allen out there getting most of the work at the wide receiver position for the Colts. Alec Pierce (ankle) has missed this offseason recovering from surgery, but he should be eased into action now that the regular season is almost here. Stay tuned. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers not on field Wed Aug 26, 02:56 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 26.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Flowers had to miss time with what was called a quad bruise after a collision with a defender. That was a couple of weeks ago, so this undisclosed injury might be something new - or a re-aggravation. When more information is revealed, we'll be able to decipher Flowers' health status for Week 1. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase says 'he's good' following him leaving practice on Tuesday, Aug. 25, following a fall in practice.
| Footballguys view: Chase landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and limped off the field without assistance from the medical staff. Chase spoke to trainers, but never left the field. Chase said on 1530 ESPN that he felt he could have returned to practice, but the team "pulled me" out of caution. "A little hyperextension, but other than that I'm fine," Chase said. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the Bengals' caution could extend to limiting Chase's practice time in the coming days, but it does not sound like there's much reason to worry about his availability for the start of the regular season. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase left practice early on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with an apparent injury after landing awkwardly.
| Footballguys view: Video of Chase landing awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and then limping off the field was all over social media on Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately, further reports from the practice field diminished immediate fears. Chase did not go to the locker room after making his way off the field and did not appear to be in pain as he spoke to his teammates on the sideline. We're still tracking the situation, but it looks like the Bengals dodged a bullet with their top receiver. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. is 'all right' Tue Aug 25, 01:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. is 'all right' after suffering an apparent shoulder injury on Tuesday, Aug. 25, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Thomas hauled in a highlight-reel catch for a 40-yard gain, but came up grabbing his shoulder after the play. He was ultimately sidelined for the remainder of practice but ultimately avoided significant injury and isn't expected to miss much time ahead of the start of the regular season. While Parker Washington is the first Jaguars wideout off the board as WR30, Thomas appears to be on track for a rebound season, which is reflected in his WR33 ADP. |
Colts | WR Alec Pierce expected to return to practice this week Tue Aug 25, 11:27 AM
Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) is expected to return to practice this week if all goes to plan, according to coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Steichen noted that the team has not had conversations about keeping Pierce, who has been sidelined since undergoing offseason ankle surgery, on the physically unable to perform list to start the season, another sign that the team is planning on having him for early in the season -- if not Week 1 itself. Pierce, 26, signed a four-year, $114 million deal with the Colts in March to stick with the club. He's coming off his best season, having caught 47 passes for 1,003 yards with six touchdowns in 15 games in 2025. He's being drafted as WR40 in Round 8. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette done for the preseason Tue Aug 25, 01:10 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (ankle, foot) won't take part in joint practices with the Houston Texans on Wednesday, Aug. 26, and won't play in the team's final preseason game. Legette will continue wearing a walking boot through Thursday, Aug. 27, per head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: That boot made an appearance this past Friday, as Legette was sidelined for the Panthers' preseason tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. Legette is coming off a disappointing 2025, where he experienced dips across the board from his rookie campaign. The 2024 first-rounder amassed 35 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns. Carolina will begin their regular season against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 13. |
Eagles | Makai Lemon believes he'll be ready for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:09 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) believes he'll be ready to play in Week 1, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: Lemon returned to practice last week after an extended absence due to a hamstring injury, and the rookie is confident he'll have enough practice time to be at full speed for the season opener. Lemon dealt with a hamstring injury in the same leg during the offseason program, but said he isn't worried about further issues. The Eagles picked Lemon as part of their plans for life without A.J. Brown in 2026, so anything he can do to ensure he's on the field and playing at a high level over the next few weeks will be welcome in Philadelphia. |
