49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk missed practice due to a broken finger on Wednesday.

06 August 2026

Juszczyk missed practice Wednesday due to a broken finger. Also missing practice was WR Jacob Cowing, who was dealing with a hip flexor strain. It is unclear how much time the two will miss, but add them to the long list of offensive skill player injuries for the 49ers in training camp.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry said he “would like to finish [his] playing career with [the] Ravens.”

05 August 2026

In an appearance for the show, Henry said, “when I hang it up, Baltimore is the last place I want to be.” The 32-year-old later followed up on social media by saying he “would like” to finish his career with the Ravens, but clarifying he “never said anything about retiring.” Henry is still producing at a high level and is not headed for retirement just yet. However, when he does consider retirement, he hopes to close out his career with the Ravens. Henry has produced 3,516 rushing ...

Raiders signed TE Chris Myarick.

05 August 2026

Myarick is a fullback/tight end hybrid who last appeared in a regular season game for the Giants in 2022. The Raiders add him as a preseason body in training camp and his addition indicates Klint Kubiak has fullback plays he wants to draw up, with Connor Heyward already with the team at the position. Tight end Zack Kuntz and safety Tanner Wall were waived as a result.

Tyler Conklin (calf, PUP) passed his physical.

05 August 2026

He suffered the calf issue in the spring and has yet to practice, but that is set to change. Conklin will presumably be activated from the PUP list and return to practice tomorrow. He will serve as a depth option behind Sam LaPorta.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports people around the Eagles are “really excited” about Dontayvion Wicks.

05 August 2026

Fowler noted that Wicks has been taking advantage of his extra opportunities with both DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon sidelined. Philly traded for Wicks this offseason and even added an additional year to his contract after making the move. Wicks played under new OC Sean Mannion in Green Bay, giving him some extra familiarity with the offense. He may still be stuck with a No. 3 role once Lemon and Smith are healthy, but Wicks should produce the occasional spike week as the team’s deep ball spe ...

The Steelers listed Jaylen Warren as RB1 on their first preseason depth chart.

05 August 2026

Rico Dowdle is listed as the RB2. We wouldn’t read into this too much, but it does align with the approach fantasy managers have been taking to this backfield. Warren currently comes off the board at RB27 while Dowdle sits at RB32. With a larger role through the air also in his future, Warren continues to looks like a safe bet for FLEX-worthy fantasy numbers in 2026.

Rams hosted Aaron Donald for a workout.

05 August 2026

This comes from the league’s official transaction wire, unlike Donald’s previous visit with the Rams. According to PFT, he worked out in a helmet to see how he felt. The visit wasn’t meant for the Rams to evaluate Donald. We’re going to assume Donald has stayed roughly in football shape if he’s considering a return to LA. While it’s not a done deal just yet, all signs point to him playing with the Rams this year.

Commanders reporter Ben Standig believes Jacory Croskey-Merritt “is flashing enough as a pass catcher to position himself for the largest role in the backfield.”

05 August 2026

Writing in his Last Man Standig blog, Standig added that Bill has also improved in pass protection. Rachaad White was brought in to handle work on passing downs, but the Commanders only paid him $2 million on a one-year deal. JCM could easily eat into White’s role through the air if he rounds out his skill set. White currently goes ahead of JCM in Best Ball drafts. That ADP could easily flip with another round of Bill hype.

Chargers OC Mike McDaniel said Omarion Hampton has shown arguably “the most growth of any player” coming into training camp.

05 August 2026

McDaniel said you could see how focused Hampton was between the offseason program and the start of training camp. Coaches praising their players is nothing new, but it can’t hurt for a second-year back to catch the eye of one of the most successful play-callers in the NFL. Hampton appeared in only nine games as a rookie, and his role declined in the second half of the season. Currently going off the board as fantasy football’s RB8, Hampton needs to improve in year two to pay off his lofty A ...

Broncos coach Sean Payton said Jaylen Waddle left Thursday’s practice with “muscle tightness” and is expected to be fine.

05 August 2026

Waddle left practice early and did not return. Given his lengthy injury history, the news gave fantasy managers a few hours of anxiety before Payton downplayed the issue. Waddle may get a few days of limited practice, but fantasy managers can keep drafting him as a high-ceiling WR2.

Commanders signed Stefon Diggs, formerly of the Patriots.

05 August 2026

ESPN’s Adam Schefter later added that the deal is worth “up to” $12 million over one year. Diggs has been tied to the Commanders by local and national reporters for weeks. After seeing their lack of receiving weapons in training camp for a few days, GM Adam Peters finally pulled the trigger. Diggs will immediately slot in as the team’s No. 2 receiver, ahead of Antonio Williams and a cast of uninteresting veterans. The Pats limited Diggs to a 68 percent route rate last year, but he still ...

49ers signed KhaDarel Hodge, formerly of the Falcons.

05 August 2026

The team also signed defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo. Kevin Givens and Cameron Sample were waived in corresponding moves. Hodge caught three passes for 31 yards in Atlanta last year. The 49ers simply needed another body at receiver with all four of their top wideouts banged up to start training camp.

The Indianapolis Star’s Nathan Brown reports Blake Grupe “has the clear statistical lead” in the Colts’ kicking competition.

05 August 2026

Grupe is competing with Spencer Schrader for the Colts’ starting gig, and through a week of training camp, Grupe has been more accurate. Brown said the team is evaluating other factors as well, including ball flight and pre-practice kicks from Grupe and Schrader. The Colts in 2025 tied for tenth in team field goal attempts. That sort of opportunity will make Grupe or Schrader fantasy viable in 2026 as long as Daniel Jones is healthy.

Falcons LB Jalon Walker (ACL) will miss the 2026 season.

05 August 2026

The second-year linebacker will be sidelined for the entirety of the 2026 campaign after suffering an ACL tear in training camp this week. Walker was carted off the practice field and later diagnosed with the torn ACL. The 15th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Walker last year had 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. His absence will be a blow to an otherwise solid Atlanta defense.

Tank Dell (knee) practiced on Wednesday.

05 August 2026

It will likely be a limited session for Dell, coming off a catastrophic 2024 knee injury that wiped out his entire 2025 campaign. Texans general manager Nick Caserio said in late July that Dell would be limited in practice for a few weeks as he works his way back from the career-threatening injury. Even if Dell avoids setbacks in the coming weeks, he’s a long shot to be anything more than Houston’s third or fourth pass-catching option to begin the season.

NBC Sports’ Connor Rogers reports Geno Smith in training camp has shown “consistent effort ... to challenge all three levels of the field.”

05 August 2026

Rogers said Smith in a recent camp practice challenged the Jets secondary downfield enough to open up short-area opportunities for his pass catchers. “He wants to push the ball down the field to the WRs and hopefully that opens up the quick underneath throws,” Rogers said, adding that the Jets tight ends and rookie WR Omar Cooper were functioning as the main short-area pass catchers. Coming off a disastrous 2025 campaign in Vegas, Geno will look to bounce back with the Jets this season. Dur ...

The Athletic’s Paul Dehner, Jr. reports Chase Brown has been “at the center of unique twists” in the Bengals offense during training camp.

05 August 2026

Brown, according to Dehner, is “being used all over the formation, similar to the way Ja’Marr Chase has been deployed in recent years. Brown lines up in the slot and runs a slant one play, then takes a jet sweep the next. He’s part of 20 personnel with two running backs, motions into the backfield, behind a fullback and almost any other spot imaginable.” The Bengals are preparing to use motion at a much higher rate than they have during the Joe Burrow era, especially when Burrow is unde ...

Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson left Tuesday’s practice early with a groin injury.

05 August 2026

Johnson left practice early Tuesday to get treatment for an apparent strain. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said the 24-year-old wideout is dealing with a groin injury. The severity of the injury is unclear as Bowles said it’s too early to tell if any of the team’s top four wide receivers would miss next week’s joint practices with the Jets. Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan also missed practice out of maintenance and precaution. With Johnson and David Sills also exiting practic ...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports free agent TE Zach Ertz (ACL) is “cleared for all football activities.”

05 August 2026

Ertz tore his ACL in Week 14 last season with the Commanders. Schefter reports the 35-year-old is ready for football activities and was catching passes from Andrew Luck at Stanford on Tuesday. He caught 50 passes for 504 yards and four touchdowns last season, seeing at least 70 targets in each of the last two seasons with the Commanders. Ertz has expressed a desire to continue playing and Schefter reports the veteran is “expected to be ready to sign in mid-August.” His top-15 fantasy tight ...
