Jeanty wasn’t targeted as the Raiders’ first-team offense barely played. It was an inauspicious evening: that meant absolutely nothing. Jeanty has been having a relatively quiet training camp, but we have yet to come across any new causes for concern. The pre-existing ones — Jeanty is a rookie, and Raheem Mostert could see meaningful playing time on third down — aren’t enough to dislodge him from the mid-range RB1 ranks.08 August 2025
Richardson can ill afford an absence of any consequence. “I’ll be good,” Richardson said. “I was able to spin it a little bit,” he added of a sideline throwing session post-injury. The star-crossed young quarterback has clearly avoided the worst, but even a few missed practices might set him back too much in his underdog bid to beat out Daniel Jones for Colts starting duties.08 August 2025
Not a gaudy statline, but the sixth-rounder’s physical style was on full display. That, per beat reporter Jay Morrison, is what hadn’t really been evident in camp simply because it has been practices instead of live games. Morrison adds that Brooks has looked “quick and explosive.” Brooks wasn’t able to light it up with the Bengals’ second- and third-team offense on Thursday, but he remains the strong favorite to earn No. 2 duties behind Chase Brown.08 August 2025
Horton’s touchdown was a rugged 10-yard catch-and-run score in traffic. Already generating buzz as the Seahawks’ potential No. 3 receiver over veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling, this will enhance Horton’s case. Whatever his depth chart standing, Horton will be up against it to carve out re-draft fantasy value behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but he had a college reputation as a big-time playmaker.

Not good. Coach Shane Steichen didn’t have an update after the game, which he did for the Colts’ more serious injuries. Maybe Tuimoloau has escaped with only a minor issue, though it’s also possible the team is simply waiting on imaging. Stay tuned.08 August 2025
It’s an awful blow for a player Indianapolis media believed was on track to earn a starting job opposite Charvarius Ward. Although it forces the Colts to tap into already questionable cornerback depth, it’s a far worse development for the player, who will already be 23 in September. He will hope for a speedy recovery and that his Day 2 draft pedigree gives him the inside track to a spot on Indy’s 2026 53-man roster.08 August 2025
It’s reportedly a torn ACL and MCL. It’s an awful development for the No. 178 overall pick. Already 23 years old, Kone will now redshirt on injured reserve instead of special teams or the practice squad. He will be on the outside looking in of the 2026 53-man roster as he deals with a new crop of draft picks and UDFAs trying to claim the Ravens’ final few openings.08 August 2025
The exact charges are unclear, but they appear to be felonies. Ward was arrested for domestic violence in June. The injury-plagued 34-year-old had been heading into his third Texans campaign, but it is hard to see that happening at this point. A stay on the commissioner’s exempt list figures to be coming in short order.08 August 2025
Higgins logged just 12 snaps in the one, four fewer than Ja’Marr Chase. The Bengals must carefully walk the line between ramping up Higgins for regular season rigors and pushing him to the point where it irritates his sensitive hamstrings.08 August 2025
Shipley was wonderfully efficient, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. He will need to maintain this level of play if he wants to fend off A.J. Dillon for the No. 2 role.08 August 2025
Dillon forced one missed tackle along the way. Reports have suggested that Dillon is playing well as a pass catcher, and his preseason showing reflected that. He appears to be in the hunt for the No. 2 job.08 August 2025
Jones relieved Anthony Richardson, who was forced from play after suffering a pinky finger injury on his throwing hand. Richardson’s injury details and expected recovery timeline have not yet been disclosed but Jones continues to be a steady presence in the Colts’ quarterback competition.08 August 2025
Giddens averaged just 2.8 yards per carry, as did Tyler Goodson. Neither player forced a missed tackle. Goodson currently sits in the No. 2 spot and could begin the year there by default if Giddens fails to win the job outright.08 August 2025
Mitchell showed off his big-play ability by generating explosive gains on both receptions. His overall catch rate was unimpressive though. We’ll see if he gets a chance to compete directly with Alec Pierce next week.08 August 2025
Although Warren had a seven-yard gain on a screen pass overturned, the usage is exciting. The rookie tight end looks the part of a featured passing game weapon in year one. PFF notably credits him with one contested catch in this one.08 August 2025
Mitchell also returned three kicks for 64 yards. Good for him. The diminutive back looked speedy and shifty as a rusher, forcing four missed tackles along the way. Reports have varied as to Mitchell’s expected role but if he continues to make splash plays, the Ravens will find a way to incorporate him.08 August 2025
Burrow was sharp as ever against the Eagles, completing passes at a 90.0 percent rate. Burrow lacks the season-long upside of the elite rushing quarterbacks but his precision passing keeps him firmly in the mid-tier QB1 conversation.08 August 2025
“Don’t know how long he’ll be out,” was Steichen’s exact quote to the team’s sideline reporter. Richardson’s throwing pinky was bent the wrong way after he never felt the blitz on a blown pass-blocking assignment. The timing couldn’t be worse, as even a 1-2 week absence could be enough to officially take Richardson out of the running for the Colts’ Week 1 starting job. Even before Richardson’s injury, Daniel Jones had remained the favorite despite increased Richardson hype of ...08 August 2025
Any doubts about Brown’s offensive role should be gone. The Bengals’ featured running back touched the ball eight times while forcing two combined missed tackles in this one.08 August 2025
Chase made it look easy, forcing two missed tackles while averaging 19.3 yards per reception. He remains in contention for the 1.01 pick in PPR leagues, catching passes from the surgical Joe Burrow.
