Broncos RB Jonah Coleman rushed four times for 24 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Falcons.

15 August 2026

Coleman took a few snaps with tonight’s starters after replacing RB RJ Harvey on the second drive. Coleman picked up two first downs on the ground, barreling through contact on both plays. He earned one target as a receiver out of the backfield and took it for a five-yard gain. Unfortunately, the play was erased by a penalty, but it was good to see him get involved through the air regardless. Coleman looks like a capable player. He is worth speculatively stashing on fantasy benches at this ti ...

Cardinals OG Chase Bisontis will undergo surgery to repair a torn MCL in his knee and could miss the 2026 season.

15 August 2026

The report comes from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Bisontis is expected to miss most of the season and could end up missing all of it. Rapoport ambiguously adds that “only the MCL will be repaired,” leaving room for interpretation as to whether Bisontis’ knee took more damage in the injury. This is a very unfortunate situation for the second-round rookie. Hopefully, he makes a complete recovery and returns to form without issue.

Commanders QB Marcus Mariota exited Friday’s preseason game against the Dolphins after suffering an apparent knee injury.

14 August 2026

Mariota appeared to injure his knee when he turned to hand the ball off to his running back, and immediately started limping. He was seemingly patting his right knee while sitting on the field, talking to trainers after the play. He was able to leave the field under his own power, but we do not expect him to return. He was replaced by QB Sam Hartman.

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said the team’s running back usage “is going to have to be a little bit more by committee” this season.

14 August 2026

Coen discussed both RB Bhayshul Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez during his presser. Regarding Tuten, Coen said the second-year back has shown that he has “bought in” over the past year, and complimented his ability to take “hard coaching” while noting his 4.28-second 40 speed. Coen adds that Tuten has to continue working on making his reads and not overthinking things. Regarding Rodriguez, Coen complimented his recent downhill running and blitz pickups. Coen loves consistency at the runnin ...

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Bills, Bears and 49ers are among the teams that have inquired about Bucs DT Vita Vea’s availability.

14 August 2026

Garafolo says that the Buccaneers remain steadfast in their position that Vea is not available. The team has also apparently kept the lines of communication open with Vea regarding a potential new deal, although “a deal is not imminent.” Vea is set to make roughly $18 million in the final year of his contract. Garafolo notes that the top of the defensive tackle market is now around $38 million annually, and Vea believes his production qualifies him for a contract extension in that tier.

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes an expanded receiving role for Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen this season “seems legit.”

14 August 2026

Allen’s pass-protection skills have him locked in as the Jaguars’ third-down running back. He played in all 17 games last season, but earned just 11 targets — hardly enough for a PPR-relevant role. Per Shipley, “has gotten more looks in the passing game in training camp this year than he did at this time a year ago.” He adds that it is unclear as to how much more involved Allen will be once the regular season arrives, but he closes by saying that “it does seem like the uptick is abo ...

Jets QB Geno Smith (foot soreness) will not play in Friday’s preseason game against the Buccaneers.

14 August 2026

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the team is not concerned about Smith’s foot soreness, writing, “if this was a regular-season game, he’d be a go.” Smith has reportedly been pushing the ball downfield in practice. Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the Jets’ passing attack will have to check back next week to see if the foot issue has been resolved. Rookie QB Cade Klubnik gets the start tonight.

The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports that the Buccaneers “are very optimistic” about WR Emeka Egbuka’s (toe) Week 1 availability.

14 August 2026

Egbuka reportedly underwent more testing with a specialist today, who confirmed Ebuka indeed sprained his toe but determined that the injury is “stable.” This is great to hear. The second-year player is a high-ceiling WR2 candidate this season. The Buccaneers face the Bengals in Week 1, in what should be a fantasy-friendly environment.

Seahawks DE DeMarcus Lawrence said he plans to retire after the 2026 season.

14 August 2026

Lawrence was an impactful player on the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX defense, leading the team in forced fumbles (five) and ranking in the top two in quarterback pressures (65) and sacks (10) across the full season. Lawrence, 34, should be a productive player once again this season.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is seeking multiple opinions on his recent injury.

14 August 2026

Garafolo captioned a report from ESPN’s Katherine Terrell regarding Tyson’s new injury, adding that Tyson’s “timeline to return is TBD but doesn’t seem it’ll be anytime soon.” Here’s what we know: Tyson injured his right hamstring yesterday. Multiple right hamstring injuries derailed his 2025 college season and kept him from participating in the pre-draft process. Saints coach Kellen Moore initially said the new injury is unrelated to Tyson’s prior injuries, but New Orleans Fo ...

Ravens activated LB Teddye Buchanan from the active/physically unable to perform list.

14 August 2026

Buchanan suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 15 last year. Before the injury, the then-rookie racked up 93 tackles, five TFLs, and 0.5 sacks. The Ravens correspondingly placed OT Kendall Lamm on the reserve/retired list.

Kendall Lamm retired after 11 years in the NFL.

14 August 2026

The journeyman offensive lineman was on seven different teams over the course of his career. He initially entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Texans. He played for them for four seasons before making his way around parts of the league. Lamm had signed with the Ravens earlier this month, but they placed him on the reserve/retired list today.

ESPN’s Marc Raimondi reports that the NFL suspended Falcons EDGE James Pearce for the first eight regular season games.

14 August 2026

The NFL determined that Pearce violated the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. He will be suspended without pay, but is allowed to participate in all preseason activities, including games. The suspension begins on August 30th, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on November 2nd. The Falcons go on bye in Week 11, so Week 9 marks his earliest possible return to the field. Pearce was arrested in February and initially charged with three felonies and one misdemeanor, including aggravated bat ...

NFL suspended Titans DB Nazeeh Johnson for the first six games of the regular season.

14 August 2026

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said RB Josh Jacobs (groin) could “potentially” resume practicing late next week.

14 August 2026


ESPN’s Marc Raimondi reports that the NFL suspended Falcons EDGE James Pearce for the team’s first eight games in 2026.

14 August 2026


NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that the 49ers “are pretty excited about WR De’Zhaun Stribling” after Thursday’s preseason performance.

14 August 2026

Rapoport adds that Stribling’s “ability to catch basically everything has impressed.” The second-round rookie has soared since draft season. Once discussed as some film analysts’ preferred Day 1/2 options, Stribling now projects as a potentially reliable starter in the 49ers’ banged-up pass-catching corps.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper-leg soreness) participated in Friday’s walkthrough “after missing five of the previous six practices.”

14 August 2026

This comes from The News Tribune’s Gregg Bell, who may be correcting the record on Price’s ailment. Price’s soreness has variously been reported as lower-body soreness, leg soreness, upper-body soreness and now upper-leg soreness. The young man has certainly been sore, and the upper-body report is not like the others. A leg issue is seemingly the most likely answer. Regardless, the Seahawks play their first preseason game tomorrow. Bell previously said it “doesn’t sound like” Price ...
