Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said he thinks Brian Thomas is “alright” after an injury scare in Tuesday’s practice.

25 August 2026

Coen, per Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley, “indicated they willplay it safe with BTJ,” meaning the team could be without Thomas and Jakobi Meyers (hand) for tomorrow’s joint practice. The Jags have dealt with a string of wideout injuries over the past couple weeks, including Parker Washington dealing with an undisclosed injury. If Thomas is 100 percent healthy for Week 1 against the Browns, he should profile as a high-variance WR3 option in 12-team formats.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (ankle) is expected to return to practice this week.

25 August 2026

Pierce, who’s been sidelined since undergoing ankle surgery in the spring following the signing of his contract extension with the Colts, will practice this week barring any setbacks, Steichen said. It’s good news for Pierce’s Week 1 availability after the team’s de facto WR1 missed training camp while recovering from the ankle issue. Pierce is expected to see more intermediate targets this season after operating strictly as a field stretcher over the past few seasons. Piece in 2025 led ...

Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday.

25 August 2026

Giddens has been sidelined for weeks with a severe hamstring injury. His return comes a few weeks ahead of the Colts’ regular season opener against the Ravens. Giddens as a rookie in 2025 had 96 yards on 26 carries, appearing in nine games for the Colts. He’ll battle Seth McGowan for RB2 duties this season behind Jonathan Taylor.

Jets cut K Cade York.

25 August 2026

That leaves former Dolphins K Jason Sanders as the only kicker on the New York roster. Sanders and York competed for the starting gig throughout training camp, with both struggling at times. York missed his only preseason field goal try while Sanders has made both of his preseason attempts. Sanders would appear to be the team’s Week 1 starter, though the Jets could bring in more competition if Sanders — who missed 2025 with a hip injury — proves unreliable.

Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said the team’s downfield passing attack has to improve.

25 August 2026

Cam Ward’s preseason has been as bad or even worse than his rookie campaign. Ward in last week’s preseason game against Seattle completed eight of his 12 attempts for 69 yards. His average depth of target on completed passes this preseason . Carnell Tate, meanwhile, has been targeted five times on his 23 preseason routes and does not have a reception to show for it. Daboll has been somewhat defensive this month when asked about Ward’s immense struggles after working on basic fundamentals ...

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said he would not “speculate” who would start at quarterback in Week 1 against the Steelers.

25 August 2026

Three weeks ahead of the opening of the regular season, Stefanski seems no closer to naming a starting QB than he was at the start of training camp. Michael Penix, recovering from a 2025 ACL injury, made his return to 11-on-11 practice Monday while Tua Tagovailoa continued to struggled. “I can’t speculate on those types of things,” Stefanski said. “I want to really stay in today with Mike and see how he does in practice. I really have to stay in the moment with this one. Let’s see how ...

The Athletic’s Nate Atkins reports Davante Adams was “uncoverable” in joint practices with the Cowboys and Saints.

25 August 2026

“If there was concern over whether Adams still had it as a perimeter wide receiver at age 33, this camp has put a lot of those questions to rest,” Atkins said, adding Adams had retained his otherworldly connection with Matthew Stafford. “Adams looks fresh and explosive, and he was virtually uncoverable in the joint practices against the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints.” Atkins conceded that the Rams “might have to get creative again with load management at times” to ensure Ada ...

Dolphins LB Trey Moore underwent ankle surgery.

25 August 2026

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Moore, a fourth-round selection, could return at some point this season “but it’ll be a while.” Moore was one of the most impressive edge rushers in the country during his time at UTSA in 2022-2023, and his final season with the Roadrunners saw him accumulate 14 sacks while winning Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year before he transferred to Texas. He was set to play significant defensive snaps for Miami in 2026.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Ashton Jeanty’s ankle sprain is “more low than high.”

25 August 2026

We’re not sure if that’s an official medical diagnosis but it’s good news that the Raiders are not saying the second-year back sustained a real-deal high ankle injury, the kind of injury that often leads to an extended absence and significant rehab time. Rapoport said the Raiders are hopeful Jeanty can suit up for Week 1 against the Dolphins, though the team is far from certain Jeanty will be ready to go after suffering the ankle injury during Sunday’s practice. He added Jeanty’s inju ...

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta described WR Ja’Kobi Lane as a “ball of clay with a lot of upside.”

25 August 2026

Lane, selected with the 80th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has wowed coaches and beat writers throughout training camp with highlight contested catches while earning the trust of Lamar Jackson and first-year OC Declan Doyle. Lane, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, has “made a highlight-reel catch, several with one hand, on almost a per-practice basis over the past month.” In a preseason tilt against the Eagles, Lane caught all three of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown. “Th ...

Patriots acquired S Jaylen Reed from the Texans in exchange for WR Kayshon Boutte.

24 August 2026

The Patriots also received a 2028 seventh-round pick in the deal. While Boutte gets a chance to earn a role with the Texans following the loss of Jayden Higgins, Reed will likely serve as added depth for the Patriots secondary. Reed appeared in seven games last year as a rookie while making one start, with most of his snaps coming on special teams.

Former Pro Bowl WR Allen Robinson announced his retirement from the NFL.

24 August 2026

Robinson last appeared for the Lions in 2024, officially hanging them up after amassing 7,058 yards and 43 touchdowns on 565 career receptions. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2015 after leading the league in receiving touchdowns with 14 and notched more than 1,000 yards through the air in three separate seasons.

Lions placed RB Raheem Blackshear and WR Cedrick Wilson on injured reserve.

24 August 2026

The move ends the seasons of both players before they began, leaving them ineligible to play in 2026 unless released with an injury settlement. The team signed defensive back Jason Taylor and running back Roydell Williams in an associated move.

Chargers OC Mike McDaniel said the offense “sustained a mild setback” with RB Keaton Mitchell.

24 August 2026

This comes on the heels of a missed session on Sunday for the fourth-year back. The team has yet to release a complete injury update for Mitchell after failing to disclose an injury status the previous day, leaving fantasy managers stuck in limbo with less than three weeks until the start of the regular season. “We sustained a mild setback with Keaton, but realistically, that’s a position that you’re always wanting to have three, and I like what our young guys are doing to press into that ...

Rams HC Sean McVay said he remains undecided on who Matthew Stafford’s backup will be to start the season.

24 August 2026

Rookie Ty Simpson and 2023 fourth-rounder Stetson Bennett have both turned in solid performances in the team’s first two preseason games. Bennett drew the start in the first preseason game and has thrown for 219 scoreless yards on 37 attempts, while Simpson has thrown for 263-2-0, also on 37 attempts. McVay has already said that Simpson will “definitely” play in the team’s preseason finale against the Chargers, but didn’t commit to Bennett seeing snaps as well.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn said Breece Hall (groin) is on track to play in Week 1 against the Titans.

24 August 2026

This comes a few hours after it was reported that Hall was “moving well” while participating in agility drills on the sideline. Hall suffered a groin injury last week and is expected to miss two or three weeks, but a return in time for Week 1 was always in the cards. Hall is one of several players Glenn is hoping to have back in time for Week 1. He also said he expects TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) and CB D’Angelo Ponds (calf) to be ready for Week 1. Hall is in the mix as a fringe RB1/RB2 this ...

Saints RB Kendre Miller said he expects to see a bigger role this season with Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined.

24 August 2026


Broncos HC Sean Payton said the injury Riley Moss suffered in Friday’s preseason game is not considered serious.

24 August 2026

Moss exited Friday’s game with an apparent rib injury, but Payton said the team is choosing to make the smart decision by not practicing him. Moss totaled 57 tackles and one interception last season and has started all 31 games he has appeared in since 2024.

Cardinals waived RB Trey Benson (knee).

24 August 2026

The Cardinals waived/injured Benson, meaning he would revert to the team’s injured reserve list if he were to clear waivers. The third-year pro has been slowed by the same knee injury that ended his 2025 season and was already a cut candidate after the Cardinals signed Tyler Allgeier to a deal this offseason and drafted Jeremiyah Love. Benson has rush 92 times for 451 yards and one touchdown in his career while serving primarily as James Conner’s backup.
