It’s a devastating blow both for Austin and the Giants offense. Austin, who had impressed throughout training camp, was “going to play a significant role” in the New York offense, per Raanan, operating as the team’s primary slot receiver. He suffered the knee injury on Tuesday. Austin had 84 receptions for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns over three seasons with the Steelers before signing a one-year deal with New York this offseason. Malachai Fields could see a bigger role with Austin ...26 August 2026
Delp is dealing with a hamstring injury, missing the Saints’ practice on Tuesday. With Jordan Tyson (hamstring) slated to miss at least the next couple months, NFL Network’s Steve Wyche and Garafolo believe the Saints will lean on their tight ends. The rookie Delp is behind Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant on the depth chart. Based on Garafolo’s report, he won’t miss too much time with his hamstring strain; he has upside as a Dynasty stash but Juwan Johnson should be the top tight end as a l ...26 August 2026
The Chiefs add interior offensive line depth in Ezeudu, who was on the roster bubble for the Giants offensive line. The 26-year-old was a third-round pick of the Giants in 2022 and appeared in 33 games over the course of his New York tenure. He becomes guard depth for the Chiefs as roster cut-down day nears.26 August 2026
Gonzalez and the Pats have continued negotiations on a top-of-the-market extension for the 24-year-old cornerback, but are not yet close to an agreement. Fellow corner Devon Witherspoon signed his deal earlier in August but Gonzalez has still yet to sign a similar or slightly larger deal. He said, “it’s frustrating, but I’m focused on the season.” A deal can still come before the Patriots play in Week 1 but it’s clear Gonzalez is disappointed in negotiations despite not holding out.

Checking in on the star pass-rusher heading into the third preseason week, Garrett (knee) still has not practiced since early August. He is experiencing swelling in his knee and head coach Sean McVay continues to downplay his absence. It’s possible this is just veteran load management; we still expect Garrett to be ready for Week 1, though his absence is becoming more and more notable as the season inches closer.25 August 2026
Stowers missed his second straight practice Tuesday as he deals with a hamstring issue. There is no indication this is a major injury yet, but something to keep an eye on as the Eagles prepare for preseason Week 3. The rookie second-round pick has struggled in camp and comes into the NFL as a raw tight end prospect. Don’t expect the Eagles’ tight end rotation to change drastically should Stowers miss time in the 2026 regular season.25 August 2026
The Vikings spent a lot of energy having a pretend quarterback competition between McCarthy and Kyler Murray this offseason, but at least it kept them fresh for this second pretend competition where McCarthy will push Wentz for second-team duties. McCarthy is an obvious trade candidate and it would be surprising if he was higher than the third-team quarterback to open the season in Minnesota. One of these quarterbacks is more reliable than the other and somehow that quarterback is Carson Wentz. ...25 August 2026
It’ll be a total redshirt year for the 64th overall pick. Seattle also placed OL Mason Richman on injured reserve.25 August 2026
Kyle Shanahan indicated Evans should be back to practice next week before leaving for Australia. The line between “Evans is being treated very carefully” and “Evans is always hurt” has been blurred for a few years now, but it doesn’t seem like he’s in any danger of missing time yet.25 August 2026
Humphries appeared in eight games with the Rams last year, mostly as a reserve. His last real chance to start came when the Chiefs turned to him in 2024 and he was disastrous there, though admittedly he was playing through a hamstring injury. He’s a veteran depth add here as the Commanders try to muddle through life without Laremy Tunsil.25 August 2026
The 30-year-old veteran who missed all of last season due to a hip injury was released from the Giants’ competition in June and caught on with the Jets afterwards. “Jets kicker” is not traditionally a very valuable fantasy role, and this year, that will probably remain the case.25 August 2026
Tough break for the 28-year-old back. He didn’t figure to be a major part of the Saints backfield conversation, but he had a shot at a roster spot if healthy. He’ll likely need to prove he’s healthy before signing on for another shot elsewhere in 2027.25 August 2026
Olave walked off under his own power with trainers. We’re firmly in “murky training camp injury update” season, and this is another that qualifies as there was no word on if this was actually concerning or not. The Saints should have an update on Olave’s status in the near future. Will it be a useful update? That remains to be seen.25 August 2026
Another blurb brought to you by the idea of: “Probably nothing, but...” We’ll monitor Ferguson’s status but expect him to be ready for the Rams’ Week 1 opener in Australia.25 August 2026
Not a surprising update but sadly also not a helpful one. It does sound like Jeanty is going to avoid the PUP list based on what we’ve seen over the past few days following the Sunday ankle injury, but it doesn’t sound like he’s any lock to play in Week 1 either. Coaches aren’t required to talk about the injury report before the regular season starts. Mike Washington would likely slide into the main role if Jeanty is unavailable in Week 1.25 August 2026
“We’ll have to work him in slowly,” Reich concluded. Sadiq has plenty of upside, but it doesn’t sound like he needs to be on the redraft radar early in the year unless you play in a deep enough league to make stashing him worthwhile.25 August 2026
The Commanders started Julian Good-Jones, who has two regular-season snaps, at center in their dress rehearsal against the Lions. Starting Allegretti already figured to be a challenge — this has the potential to be the kind of hole that could torpedo the offense early in the season.25 August 2026
Chase was not being tended to on the sideline but did appear to be stretching out his leg. He didn’t return to practice but wasn’t getting any other medical attention. This is probably just going to wind up being a footnote, but it did scare everybody for a few minutes.25 August 2026
It doesn’t look good; most Giants beat writers are already moving on to talking about how his absence will open up a roster spot for the rest of the lower-roster receiver competition. Austin had just signed with the Giants this offseason after finishing his rookie contract with the Steelers. He was expected to return kicks, so this may open up a roster spot for someone else there as well if this is as serious as it seems.25 August 2026
This comes directly from Pats GM Eliot Wolf, who said Henderson left practice “under his own power” on Monday. Henderson remains in the “we think he’s probably fine but teams are being intentionally obtuse” injury window for at least one more update.
