Alvin Kamara (knee) is not practicing on Tuesday.

01 September 2026

This isn’t a surprise, as Kamara’s timeline to return per Adam Schefter as of August 19 was a month away. What was a minor surprise is that Kamara wasn’t placed on injured reserve before the start of the season. Perhaps there is still a chance he can go in Week 1, though we’d call him doubtful at this point based on the initial timeline.

Cardinals placed TE Tip Reiman on the reserve/PUP list.

01 September 2026

He’ll miss at least the first four weeks of the season. Reiman went down with a gruesome leg injury in Week 5 against the Titans and was put in an air cast. Hunter Long, who the Cardinals acquired at last cuts, will likely fill in Reiman’s role early on this season.

Raiders placed EDGE Keyron Crawford on season-ending injured reserve.

01 September 2026

The rookie third-round pick suffered a season-ending ankle injury in his final preseason game. Crawford will likely pick things back up next year with a chance to make real noise for the Raiders — and perhaps without Maxx Crosby in front of him — assuming no setbacks.

Eagles placed TE Grant Calcaterra on injured reserve.

01 September 2026

It’s unknown what injury he has at this time. Calcaterra will miss at least the first four weeks of the season. It doesn’t seem like Eagles fans are particularly upset about this. Assuming they don’t bring in Zach Ertz as a secondary tight end, Johnny Mundt and Eli Stowers figure to be the main players behind Dallas Goedert this year.

Saints signed WR Cedric Tillman to their practice squad.

01 September 2026

In theory Tillman could put pressure on the back of the Saints wideout corps. In actuality, if they really thought that, they probably would have signed him to the active roster. Still, with only four healthy wideouts on the roster, Tillman could be elevated early. Zamir White is the other big name on the Saints practice squad and is joined by TE Stone Smartt, DE Fadil Diggs, RB CJ Donaldson, DB TJ Hall Jr., T Alan Herron, T Easton Kilty, WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper, WR Trey Palmer, LB Jackson Sirm ...

Jaguars placed OL Patrick Mekari (back) on injured reserve.

01 September 2026

Mekari, who underwent back surgery, will miss at least the first four weeks of the season. We’d bet on him missing more than four. Emmanuel Pregnon seems likely to start at left guard for the Jaguars as a rookie.

Patriots placed EDGE Harold Landry on the reserve/PUP list.

01 September 2026

The 30-year-old edge will miss at least the first four games of the season. He barely practiced this offseason and never got off the active/PUP list. It remains to be seen if Landry will get healthy enough to play this season.

Bills placed Tyrell Shavers (knee) on the reserve/PUP list.

01 September 2026

He’ll miss at least the first four weeks of the season after tearing his ACL in the playoffs. No surprise there. Shavers will likely be a late-season reinforcement, if that, in 2026 after coming on strong when the Bills needed receiving help last year.

Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) did not practice on Tuesday.

01 September 2026

Neither did Ty Johnson (knee), with both players still having plenty of time to get back before next Sunday’s Week 1 game against the Texans. It’s hard to tell how seriously to take these because Joe Brady has been a brick wall on injury questions, but we’ll get a better indication next week when injury reports start to hit.

Titans coach Robert Saleh said Carnell Tate is “working out some stiffness” and did not practice on Tuesday.

01 September 2026

This is, to be a broken record, probably not much to be concerned about just yet. The 21-year-old Tate is in a weird spot as a clear high-volume target on a passing offense that has not looked good all preseason and probably should be eyed skeptically heading into 2026. Nevertheless, Tate has the goods to be a fantasy producer this year if the offense around him is good enough to let that happen.

Steelers signed RB Lew Nichols to the practice squad.

01 September 2026

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes Nicholes is the player he’d promote to join the carries split if either Jaylen Warren or Rico Dowdle is injured. Perhaps that’s enough of an endorsement to get him on the deep dynasty radar. RB Travis Homer, DB Doneiko Slaughter, WR Brandon Smith, WR Max Hurleman, OL Doug Nester, OL Steven Jones, DL Esezi Otomewo, DL Kyler Baugh, DB Sebastian Castro, LB Jacoby Windmon, TE Lake McRee and DE Julius Welschof were also signed to the practice squad.

Jets claimed K Blake Grupe off waivers from the Colts.

01 September 2026

Jason Sanders, who had won the Jets kicker competition, is instead released to make way for Grupe. As we wrote about Sanders a few days ago: Winning the Jets kicker competition is not an endorsement that provides many fantasy points. Grupe will probably be stuck in the 20s in weekly ranks in most of the Jets games this year.

The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt believes Omar Cooper Jr.'s role “should grow over time.”

01 September 2026

Cooper “started to show some signs of life by the end” of training camp. The first-rounder will split time with Isaiah Williams in the slot and also operate “as a gadget player.” Keep him out of lineups early, but he is still on the dynasty radar and should be monitored on the waiver wire in shallow leagues.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Ja’Marr Chase (knee) will be “limited this week” but that he “feels good about his progress.”

01 September 2026

We’re not viewing this as a major cause for concern, the Bengals have no reason to rush Chase back on the field after he hyperextended his knee last week. If he’s still drawing limited tags on the official injury reports next week, then we can start Panic Mode. Taylor added that Higgins (head contusion) may also be limited this week. "(Tee) and Ja’Marr will be good at the end of the week,” said Taylor.

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Keylan Rutledge would start at left guard.

01 September 2026

He called him “their best offensive lineman.” The big news here is that free-agent addition Wyatt Teller will start on the bench with Evan Brown starting at center. We’ll see if the Texans have finally hit on a formula that will help them run the ball, but it’s not great news for Teller that even the Texans don’t want to start him.

Texans GM Nick Caserio said there were “productive talks” on a contract extension for QB C.J. Stroud and that if a deal isn’t done before the start of the season, they’ll pick it up next offseason.

01 September 2026

There’s really no reason for Stroud to want to negotiate off last year’s end-of-season performance, so we’re not stunned that there’s been no extension. It does sound like the Texans are at least laying the groundwork for next offseason. The general NFL expectation has been that Stroud will go into the year without an extension. The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan Alexander reported that league sources believe the Texans and Stroud’s camp “are not far off on what they think Stroud’ ...

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Tank Dell (knee) is “close” but “not quite there.”

01 September 2026

He was already placed on injured reserve, so he’ll miss the first four games of the season. Reading between the lines it sounds like Dell has a chance to miss more than just the first four games of the season. Kayshon Boutte and Dalton Schultz will battle for the role of lead secondary target behind Nico Collins while Dell is sidelined.

Browns signed CB Noah Igbinoghene.

01 September 2026

Igbinoghene didn’t survive last cuts with the Commanders, but catches on as a depth add in Cleveland. The 2020 first-rounder is entering his age-27 season. The Browns waived Michael Coats Jr. in a corresponding move.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said the team traded for Kyle McCord to be the team’s No. 2 quarterback, but that he expects recently-claimed Brady Cook to “make a push.”

01 September 2026

Riveting situation. The main fantasy takeaway here is probably something like “if Malik Willis gets hurt this year, all Dolphins pass-catchers will take major downgrades.”

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said WR Savion Williams (ankle/IR) has a high-ankle sprain.

01 September 2026

Williams was placed on IR at last cuts without an explanation of the injury, so here it is. Gutekunst said he thinks Williams will be ready when the four-week mandatory stay on IR is over.
