Shedeur Sanders will start the season as the QB2 for the Browns.

24 August 2026

Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Deshaun Watson would be the starter for Week 1 against the Jaguars, with Sanders as the backup. Sanders was solid in his second preseason game, completing 9-of-11 passes for 74 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in one half of play, but this camp battle was always expected to work in Watson’s favor, barring an obvious breakout by Sanders in camp. While it’s not the result Sanders and his fantasy managers hoped for, Watson’s job is anything but ...

Dolphins WR Chris Bell was seen without a non-contact jersey at Monday’s practice.

24 August 2026

It’s yet another encouraging sign for Bell, who was activated off the PUP list last Monday after recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during his 2025 season at Louisville. The rookie third-rounder has been getting up to speed since making his return and could have a chance to contribute to the Dolphins’ offense later this season.

Steelers activated CB Jalen Ramsey from the active/PUP list.

24 August 2026

Ramsey was placed on the PUP list due to a knee injury he suffered in minicamp, but it never sounded like this would be something that could keep him out for an extended period of time. The 31-year-old corner will presumably resume practicing with the team this week and should be in good shape for Week 1’s game against the Falcons barring any setback.

Saints signed K Daniel Carlson, formerly of the Raiders.

24 August 2026


NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the Browns plan to name Deshaun Watson as their starter for Week 1 against the Jaguars.

24 August 2026


Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said S Bud Clark will miss “multiple months” after suffering a broken ankle in Sunday’s preseason game against the Titans.

24 August 2026


ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty “is believed to have sprained his ankle,” and it is not considered a long-term injury.

24 August 2026


Titans QB Cam Ward completed 8-of-12 passes for 69 yards in Sunday’s preseason game against the Seahawks.

24 August 2026

Ward would have cleared 100 yards in the box score had TE Gunnar Helm not stepped out of bounds while hauling in a downfield pass during a scramble drill. Ward’s ability to make wild throws off-script remains a plus and a minus. Playing within structure will be key to his development, and potentially his connection with rookie WR Carnell Tate. The duo went 0-of-2 out of five total pass attempts from Ward on the first drive this evening against Seattle.

Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo caught 2-of-3 targets for 50 yards and one touchdown in Sunday’s preseason game against the Titans.

24 August 2026

Arroyo played three drives this evening, scoring from 36 yards out on the first one. Arroyo lined up in line on the left side, ran a route up the seam, shaking a safety along the way and easily hauled in the uncontested pass from tonight’s starting QB Drew Lock. Scoring against the Titans’ first-string defense is a plus, but playing while the rest of the Seahawks starters sat was not a great sign. Arroyo seems to be firmly behind TE AJ Barner on the depth chart right now.

The Athletic’s Nate Atkins reports that the Rams are expanding TE Terrance Ferguson’s route tree and committing to the three-tight end sets.

24 August 2026

Rams coach Sean McVay devised the team’s three-tight end approach midseason last year, and per Atkins, those looks aren’t going anywhere. Ferguson is lining up all over the formation in training camp, taking reps at F, Z, Y and X. The Rams also plan to get the ball to Ferguson “quickly” near the line of scrimmage this year, after asking him to function purely as a big-bodied field stretcher as a rookie. This aspect is key to unlocking his ceiling outcome. Ferguson averaged 9.0 yards aft ...

Seahawks S Bud Clark exited Sunday’s preseason game against the Titans after suffering an apparent ankle injury.

24 August 2026

Clark got rolled up on after jumping over the pile after a play. He immediately went down and called for trainers, who applied an air cast to his lower leg after tending to his ankle. Losing the second-round rookie could be consequential. The Seahawks frequently put three safeties on the field, which put Clark in position to potentially start while S Nick Emmanwori works his way back from offseason ankle surgery. Clark now appears to be headed toward an extended absence. Fortunately, Emmanwori ...

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander reports that Texans TE Marlin Klein “will have some sort of role” this season.

24 August 2026

Alexander also lists Klein behind TE1 Dalton Schultz and apparent TE2 Foster Moreau, so this isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement. Klein has efficiently caught 4-of-5 targets for 62 yards thus far in the preseason, and OC Nick Caley unpromptedly complimented Klein’s run blocking. The latter aspect is likely Klein’s ticket to game-day snaps this season. Schultz is a trusted veteran. Klein will likely be a non-factor in fantasy this year, but perhaps he can gain some ground in-season and for ...

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander believes the rushing workloads for Texans RB David Montgomery and RB Woody Marks “might not be 50-50, but it will be close.”

24 August 2026

According to Alexander, the Texans have utilized both running backs nearly evenly throughout camp. Texans OC Nick Caley “doesn’t typically go away from what’s working,” which could result in a hot-hand approach on game day. For now, Montgomery should be treated as the starter, but Marks looked good in last week’s preseason game and should be stashed on benches in 12-team leagues at the very least.

Chargers WR Brenen Thompson (undisclosed) was seen practicing on Sunday.

23 August 2026

Thompson took first- and second-team reps in last Thursday’s preseason game against the 49ers. Chargers Nos. 2 and 2 WRs Quentin Johnston and Tre’ Harris were held out with what are believed to be minor injuries. Thompson eventually checked out of the game and entered the blue medical tent before being taken back to the locker room. He sported a yellow jersey today, which ESPN’s Kris Rhim dubbed the “working through something” jersey. He was likely a limited participant today. Thompso ...

49ers WR De’Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) resumed practicing in a non-contact jersey on Sunday.

23 August 2026

The team labeled Stribling as “day-to-day” yesterday. His limited return is a good sign for his Week 1 availability. Hopefully, the 49ers’ impressive rookie is back in pads before long. He can still be drafted as a FLEX starter with WR3 upside at this time.

The Mercury News’ Cam Inman reports that 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) left practice early as a “precautionary” measure.

23 August 2026

It would be really nice to see Evans consistently practice in full at this point, but both Inman and ESPN’s Nick Wagoner appear mostly unconcerned by today’s development. Per Wagoner, Evans stopped practicing after running a deep route on Sunday. Evans “seemed to be moving fine” after exiting. Wagoner adds that it is “clear he and the Niners want to be cautious to get him to the regular season ready to go.” Evans’ soft tissue concerns remain present, but as long as he takes the fi ...

Texans signed S George Odum, formerly of the
Colts

.

23 August 2026

Odum, 32, was a standout special teams player for much of his career, earning first-team All-Pro (2020) and second-team All-Pro (2022) with the Colts and 49ers. He sandwiched three seasons in San Francisco between two stints in Indianapolis. If he makes the team, he is unlikely to play on defense.

Jets signed RB Dominic Richardson, formerly of the Titans.

23 August 2026

The Jets also brought aboard EDGE Anthony Dunn and S Tanner Wall. The Jets correspondingly waived WR Caullin Lacy, RB Sam Scott and EDGE Nate Voorhis with injury designations. It is possible the team will re-sign all three to injured reserve.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty “got hurt in practice today and could not put pressure on his leg when leaving the field.”

23 August 2026


49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (tightness) said taking time off in training camp “was kind of part of the plan from the jump.”

23 August 2026

The most important takeaway is that McCaffrey has resumed practicing. Whether the planned aspect is true or not is secondary. That said, one wonders why the team chose to say their star running back was sidelined by “tightness,” rather than simply telling reporters he was taking veteran rest days, which is quite common for a 30-year-old player. McCaffrey said the team wanted him to “ramp up pretty big” early on, before taking time off, and later initiating another ramp-up period, “so ...
