Coen talked up Ameer Abdullah as a potential replacement for Allen’s duties in pass protection. He also singled out Chris Rodriguez’s abilities in pass pro. Pass protection duties aren’t a direct source of fantasy value, but it usually means that player will be on the field for the two-minute drill, which can generate plenty of receptions for running backs. Bhayshul Tuten not getting those reps would be a notable ding to his fantasy outlook. Allen himself isn’t on the fantasy radar, hea ...02 September 2026
Holmes didn’t offer a timetable for Pacheco’s return. The former Chief injured his knee early in camp and then suffered a back injury, which ultimately landed him on injured reserve. He will miss at least the first four games of the season while on IR, though it sounds like a Week 5 return isn’t in the cards. For now, Jacob Saylors will serve as Jahmyr Gibbs’ backup. He shouldn’t see much work as long as Gibbs is healthy, but dynasty managers may want to give him a look on the waiver ...02 September 2026
Meyers missed some time late in training camp with a thumb issue that forced him to wear a brace on his right hand. Coen specifically said that Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) was practicing in full and didn’t say the same of Meyers. It’s possible the team is working Meyers in more slowly as the season approaches. Still, even a limited practice more than a week ahead of Week 1 should put Meyers in line to play. Meyers will be in a supporting role behind Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr . t ...02 September 2026
BTJ suffered a shoulder injury late in camp and has dealt with shoulder issues in the past, so this latest scare was a definite concern for fantasy managers and Jags fans alike. The good news is that he’s practicing in full over a week before the first game of the season. After a summer of hype for Parker Washington, Thomas Jr. is likely second in the pecking order for targets. Barring a setback with the shoulder injury, he should project for WR3 numbers in Jacksonville’s opener versus the ...

The team’s plan, per Graziano, is for Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks to split carries this season. That comes as little surprise. “If Hubbard stays healthy, he’s the one in whom they’ve built up more trust, so I’d expect him to be the one the Panthers lean on to try to grind out games when they have the lead,” Graziano said. “The split should be pretty close, but it would not be a surprise at all to get to the end of the season and see that Hubbard got the majority of the work.” Br ...02 September 2026
Graziano affirmed what every fantasy manager believes: Likely will probably be the team’s WR2 behind Malik Nabers this season. New York coaches, according to Graziano, “love the way he has embraced and evolved his relationship with Jaxson Dart since he has been in New York. Likely is a regular visitor to the quarterback room, and the connection he has formed with Dart on and off the field could pay major dividends.” Graziano said Likely could be Dart’s top option if Nabers needs time to ...02 September 2026
Graziano said the “Lions offense is going to hum this season, and Williams is the player poised to take the biggest leap.” That leap, he said, could come as Detroit coaches push Jamo “to expand his route repertoire and contribute as more than just a deep threat.” That in turn could create more short-area and intermediate opportunities and make Williams something more than a boom-bust WR3 play. Williams’ splits with and without Sam LaPorta are concerning, but he should be a high-upside ...02 September 2026
This, according to Rapoport, comes after “two positive days” of practice for the veteran tight end, coming off a late-season Achilles injury. Kittle is “trending in the right direction” to play against the Rams in the first game of the NFL season, and the first-ever game in Australia.02 September 2026
Van Noy spent time with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores in both Miami and New England, making this a reunion for the two. The 35-year-old linebacker spent the past three seasons with the Ravens, tallying 12.5 sacks during a 2024 Pro Bowl campaign. The Vikings will start Van Noy out on the practice squad, but fans shouldn’t be surprised to see him in the middle of the Minnesota defense later this season.02 September 2026
Miller left practice early under his own power Tuesday, an all-too-familiar picture for the oft-injured back coming off an ACL tear from last October. However, Underhill reports it is a minor issue for the 24-year-old. With Alvin Kamara (knee) missing time, Miller has seen a lot of preseason work. Miller, when healthy, can be the Saints’ RB2 and primary handcuff to Travis Etienne.02 September 2026
Vannett, 33, is a journeyman veteran tight end best known for his blocking skills. Starting his career with the Seahawks, he has jumped around the league with the Steelers, Broncos, Saints, Giants, Chargers, Titans, Vikings, and Rams. He signed with the Seahawks in the offseason but was let go in final cuts. The Ravens add Vannett as blocking tight end depth on the practice squad.01 September 2026
Hunter was notably acquired for Tutu Atwell in the preseason but was released during final cuts. The Dolphins now bring him back as depth in the running back room. Also notably on the practice squad is former first-round defensive lineman Mazi Smith. The Dolphins rounded out the practice squad with RB Carlos Washington, WR Jalen Reagor, WR Will Sheppard, CB Ethan Bonner, DE Max Llewellyn, TE Tre Watson, OT Gottlieb Ayedze, DL Jordan Miller, EDGE Clelin Ferrell, EDGE Amari Gainer, EDGE Rodney Mc ...01 September 2026
Braswell is a former 2024 second-round pick that could not get it going with the Bucs. He now joins a formidable defense on the Texans’ practice squad. Houston also adds WR Mitchell Tinsley; he is a former Bengals preseason standout who has a path to contributing for the Texans’ injured wide receiver group. Also signed to the Texans’ practice squad are RB Jawhar Jordan, RB Noah Whittington, WR Lewis Bond, WR Josh Kelly, WR Daniel Sobkowicz, TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden, OT James Neal III, C Ka ...01 September 2026
Licht said Hurst was initially slated for a learning role behind the deep Buccaneers wide receiver corps. However, he added that the rookie 22-year-old has “proven to us throughout camp, even OTAs, practice every day that he’s been very, very steady...it’s kind of evolved into okay, we can use him this year and he’s going to play a role.” Hurst has received generally positive reports out of training camp. With Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan continuing to deal with injuries throughout ...01 September 2026
Morris started several games for the Chiefs at left tackle over the past three seasons before the Falcons acquired him in the offseason. Atlanta chose to part ways and now the Cowboys add Morris as tackle depth heading into the season. Also signed to the Cowboys’ initial practice squad are RB Israel Abanikanda, WR Jordan Hudson, WR Anthony Smith, TE Michael Trigg, TE Mitchell Van Vooren, OT Marcellus Johnson, OL Nick Leverett, DT Tommy Dunn, DT Elijah Garcia, DT Adedayo Odeleye, LB Justin Bar ...01 September 2026
As it was last year, Uiagalelei remains in town after losing the backup gig to Trey Lance. Also signed to Los Angeles’ practice squad are: LB Lander Barton, LB Andre Carter, DL Jahmeer Carter, LB Junior Colson, RB Gregory Desrosiers, WR Gary Jennings, RB Amar Johnson, C Josh Kaltenberger, DB Nikko Reed, WR Devonte Ross, TE Evan Svoboda, LB Nadame Tucker, T Laekin Vakalahi, DB Isas Waxter, DL Terry Webb, OLB Caleb Murphy and CB Kaiir Elam.01 September 2026
Well, yes, we will see. The Raiders haven’t really given much of an indication from the inside on when Jeanty will return, but he wasn’t placed on injured reserve on cutdown day (he can still be placed there before the start of Week 1) and so long as it the location of his ankle sprain remains low and not high, we’re generally optimistic that Jeanty can make it back in the first month of the season.01 September 2026
It really strains the limits of credulity to have a 40-year-old practice squad player, but here we are. johnson remains QB3 in Cincinnati after being released at last cuts. Also on Cincy’s practice squad are: RB Kentrel Bullock, QB Sean Clifford, DT Howard Cross, DE Isaiah Foskey, LB Joe Giles-Harris, LB Shaka Heyward, DB Bralyn Lux, RB Kendall Milton, WR Jordan Moore, WR Noah Thomas and DB Russ Yeast.01 September 2026
Outside of Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders are also in front of McLaughlin. The 25-year-old back has landed in a nice enough spot though considering none of these backs outside of Judkins has proved all that much yet. Also joining the Browns practice squad are: CB Myles Bryant. DE Logan Fano. T KT Leveston. P Wes Pahl. CB D’Angelo Ross. DT Tyreak Sapp. DE Khordae Sydnor. S Zion Washington. LB Nathaniel Watson and WR Kole Wilson.01 September 2026
He’ll likely catch on with a practice squad in the next day or two, perhaps with the Cowboys again. Milton had initially made the 53-man roster in Dallas but lost his spot when they claimed Emari Demercado off waivers. The 26-year-old has an arm that was made to play quarterback and a decision-making process that was made to play quarterback in 1975.
