Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) is questionable for Week 1 against the Cowboys.

11 September 2026

Nabers made clear yesterday that the decision to play, and how much, is up to him. The team appears to be respecting that. Nabers is, smartly, keeping his long-term health in mind. If active, he should probably be treated as a volatile WR2. Hopefully, we learn more later today or tomorrow.

Steelers CB Joey Porter (back) is questionable to play in Week 1 against the Falcons.

11 September 2026

Porter remained limited all week. He also lacks a lucrative contract extension. Hopefully, both issues are remedied before kickoff. The Steelers’ D/ST could have a fruitful outing against a Falcons offense run by backup QB Cooper Rush.

Breece Hall (groin) will play in Week 1 against the Titans.

11 September 2026

Hall suffered a groin injury in camp but never appeared to be at risk of missing any time during the regular season. He practiced in full throughout the week and even told reporters he could handle a full workload on Sunday. Hall will be a high-end RB2 versus the Titans this week.

Kenyon Sadiq (groin) will play in Week 1 against the Titans.

11 September 2026

Sadiq practiced in full throughout the week. Even at full strength health-wise, Sadiq will likely open the year as a pass-catching specialist, with Mason Taylor taking on the traditional inline role. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich even said the team would “scale back” his workload early in the year. Sadiq is worth stashing in deeper leagues but isn’t on the fantasy radar for his NFL debut.

Bears signed D’Andre Swift to a three-year, $33.75 million extension through 2029.

11 September 2026

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes $27.5M guaranteed. Swift’s 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns last year were both career highs. Swift is locked in as the Bears’ starting running back again this season, playing in an expectedly high-scoring offense. He is a high-end RB2 with a favorable matchup against the Panthers in Week 1.

Texans placed DT Kayden McDonald on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

11 September 2026

The Texans will be without their second-round rookie for at least four games. The front office traded up to acquire him in this year’s draft. This is unfortunate for the youngster, but the Texans’ exceptionally talented defense will be all right without him.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 1 against the Ravens.

11 September 2026

Pierce practiced for the first time this offseason on September 1st after undergoing ankle/heel surgery earlier this offseason. ESPN’s Stephen Holder said Pierce’s snap count is still to be determined, indicating that Pierce is unlikely to play a full complement of snaps. He can only be viewed as a boom-bust FLEX, but his field-stretching presence will trickle down to the pass-catching corps by keeping the safeties honest, which is good news.

Rome Odunze (calf) is questionable for Week 1 against the Panthers.

11 September 2026

Odzune was limited in all three practices this week. He appears to be on the right side of the questionable designation, but fantasy managers will still want to check on his status 90 minutes before kickoff. If he does miss Week 1, the Bears’ passing attack will run almost entirely through Colston Loveland and Luther Burden. Burden would be a top-24 wideout without Odunze. Loveland is likely penciled in as the TE2 for the week already.

Ozzy Trapilo (knee) is questionable for Week 1 against the Panthers.

11 September 2026

Trapilo went down with a torn patellar tendon against the Packers in the Wild Card round last season. Bears GM Ryan Poles initially said he would be out “deep into next year.” Trapilo has made a remarkable recovery and has a shot to suit up this week. Even if he isn’t quite ready, the Bears should have their starting left tackle back early in the season. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent (back) is also questionable for Week 1.

DLLS Sports’ Clarence Hill Jr. reports Malik Davis was carted off the field on Friday with an injury.

11 September 2026

Hill added that it doesn’t look good for Sunday, but the Cowboys are still determining the severity of the injury. Dallas cut Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue at the end of camp, briefly leaving Davis as the only backup running back on their roster. They eventually signed Emari Demercado after he was released by Kansas City. If the injury is serious, the Cowboys could bring either Mafah or Davis back, given their familiarity with the system.

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports the 49ers extended Kyle Shanahan during the offseason.

11 September 2026

The Shanahan victory lap continues after his well-slept squad easily toppled Sean McVay’s jet-lagged Rams in Australia last night. Per Pelissero, he was previously signed through 2027. Coaching contracts are not made public, so we don’t know exactly when his new deal is up. Still, it’s safe to assume he will remain in San Francisco for a very long time. One game into his 10th season as the 49ers’ head coach, Shanahan’s record stands at 83-67. He has two Super Bowl appearances to his n ...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Lions could sign TE Sam LaPorta to a contract extension early in the season.

11 September 2026

Schefter was exploring extension possibilities across the NFL with colleague Pat McAfee and noted that the Lions have a propensity for signing players to extensions in-season. The stud tight end spent the offseason rehabbing after undergoing back surgery. Perhaps the front office just wants to make sure LaPorta returns to his pre-injury form this month before signing him to a lucrative deal. He is scheduled to enter free agency next offseason. Signing him to a long-term deal makes sense. He is ...

Packers released WR Bo Melton.

11 September 2026

The former seventh-round pick never managed to carve out a reliable role for himself in Green Bay. Melton posted a career-best 16/218/1 stat line in 2023. The Packers eventually tried him out at cornerback in 2025. He has decent odds of landing elsewhere in the NFL.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is questionable to play in Week 1 against the Lions.

11 September 2026

Kamara logged two limited sessions to begin the week, and New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill said he thinks Kamara will play, barring a setback. We do not yet know Kamara’s practice participation level on Friday, but he is traveling with the team, which is a good sign. Kamara would be a PPR FLEX if active. He is expected to play on passing downs while starting RB Travis Etienne leads the team in carries. Etienne is the best bet to handle the primary red zone role, but Kamara has been a p ...

Saints ruled out Oscar Delp (hamstring) for Week 1 against the Lions.

11 September 2026

The mid-round dynasty darling will have to wait at least a week before making his NFL debut. Delp’s absence helps starting TE Juwan Johnson consolidate positional targets, but Delp does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will be a game-day decision for Week 1 against the Chargers.

11 September 2026

Two ESPN reports over the last 24 hours have indicated Love will likely play, though no one has actually confirmed this. LaFleur also said that Love is “trending well” while speaking to media members before Friday’s practice. If he practices fully, he should be good to go. He still has a chance to play even if he remains limited, but RB Tyler Allgeier might take on a few extra touches in that scenario. Stay tuned.

Ty Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for Week 1 against the Texans.

11 September 2026

Johnson returned to practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week with the hamstring issue. One practice might not be enough to get him on the field for Week 1, but it means he shouldn’t miss much more than Buffalo’s opening game. If he is ruled out, James Cook would likely pick up some extra work on passing downs.

Zachariah Branch (hamstring) will play in Week 1 against the Steelers.

11 September 2026

Branch was limited by the hamstring issue for the first two practices of the week. He got up to a full practice on Friday and was cleared for Week 1. Branch will likely see a few designed touches in his NFL debut, but fantasy managers will want to wait until he overtakes Olamide Zaccheaus on the depth chart before getting him into their lineups.

Ravens HC Jesse Minter said DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) will not play in Week 1 against the Colts.

11 September 2026

Despite being a limited participant in practice all week, the Ravens will continue to exercise caution with Madubuike, who is attempting to return from what was once believed to be a career-ending neck injury. The 28-year-old lineman has had an encouraging offseason and training camp and could find himself on the field soon, but the Ravens will give him at least one more week to prepare. We’ll see if he’s able to suit up for Week 2 when the Ravens play host to the Saints.

Cardinals CB Garrett Williams (Achilles) will not play in Week 1 against the Chargers.

11 September 2026

The Cardinals will also be without S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ribs) and RG Isaiah Adams (knee). Williams is working his way back from a torn Achilles he suffered in Week 16 of last season. He was able to avoid the PUP list to start the season and has been a limited participant in practice all week, but head coach Mike LaFleur is opting to give him at least one more week of rest before putting him on the field. We’ll see if he’s able to suit up in Week 2 when the Cardinals play host to the S ...
