Broncos | Marvin Mims has foot bruise Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (foot) sustained a bruised foot during the first quarter of the preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Sean Payton. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and did not return to action.
| Footballguys view: Mims is an explosive playmaker at the wide receiver position, and he's an All-Pro return man for the Broncos. He doesn't get much work on offense, even though Mims seems to make plays anytime the team relies on him. Mims is behind Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Pat Bryant on the depth chart. He's competing with Troy Franklin to round out the position behind the top three. |
Cardinals | Ankle issue for Ihmir Smith-Marsette Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle) will not return to the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers after exiting with an ankle injury Friday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: Signed to a futures contract back in January, Smith-Marsette was always going to be hard-pressed to make this roster. He's buried on the depth chart at the wide receiver position, and the team may just cut ties with the veteran. Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round pick out of Iowa back in 2021, and he's bounced around to six different NFL teams since then. He's mostly been a special teams player in the NFL. |

Jets | Omar Cooper Jr. locked in tight battle Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. and WR Isaiah Williams are 'engaged in a battle' for the No. 3 receiver job, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Cooper, a 2026 first-round pick out of Indiana, is known as a slot bully because of his run-after-the-catch ability. He needs to learn how to run the full route tree, but the potential is there for Cooper to be a dangerous playmaker. Williams, undrafted out of Illinois in 2024, is a return man who can flip the field with quickness and speed. Cooper should win the job, but Williams is not letting it go without a fight. Dynasty GMs should be invested in Cooper for the long-term outlook. |

Bills | Skyler Bell active against Pittsburgh Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell caught seven of his 10 targets for 49 yards and added a 28-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Bell was hurt for most of camp, but he showed out in this game to give the Bills an idea of what he could contribute. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir are banged up right now, so Bell should be on our waiver wire watch list because he plays with Josh Allen. |
Ravens | Elijah Sarratt may not see much time in 2026 Fri Aug 28, 05:07 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to make the 53-man roster but may be inactive most weeks since he is not a big factor on special teams, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley.

Jaguars | Travis Hunter getting exclusive work at cornerback recently Fri Aug 28, 03:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter, for the last two weeks, has taken snaps 'almost exclusively at cornerback' during practice, according to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is a late round pick at best right now, but he has the talent to be a very good fantasy wide receiver if injuries or a change of plans gives him the opportunity on offense. If he is listed at corner, he is still a good IDP pick this season. |
Titans | Wan'Dale Robinson cleared of concussion Fri Aug 28, 02:08 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson was cleared of a concussion on Friday, Aug. 28.
Link to story Giants | Malachi Fields like the WR2 Fri Aug 28, 11:28 AM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields is likely to be the team's No. 2 receiver. The team traded up to get him in the third round because they were infatuated with his size, physicality and ability to make contested catches. He has shown all of that in camp.
| Footballguys view: Fields is at least on our waiver wire watch lists, if not a deep league late round pick. He wins when the ball is in the air and could be a top red zone target for Jaxson Dart. Fields is still going to be in the shadow of Malik Nabers and maybe Isaiah Likely, so he's not a priority late round target. |
Titans | Carnell Tate impresses Fri Aug 28, 11:25 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed with his large catch radius and consistent hands-catching ability. The Titans have started to move Tate across the formation rather than always having him on the ball.
| Footballguys view: Tate is probably going to have some highlight reel plays that make a splash in the box score, but the Titans offense is going to be inconsistent to open the season considering its offensive line woes and new system, along with Cam Ward's preseason struggles. Tate is going in the 6th/7th round close to similar weekly boom/bust propositions like Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr.. |

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. |
