Giants RB Najee Harris rushed 11 times for 39 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Jets, adding one reception for 20 yards.

29 August 2026

Harris saw his first game action since he suffered a torn Achilles last year. The 28-year-old running back had 39 yards on 11 carries and his longest run was for nine yards. Harris added a 20-yard reception, giving him 59 scrimmage yards on 12 opportunities. Perhaps the most interesting development from this game as it relates to Harris’ fantasy value was that Tyrone Tracy left with an undisclosed injury. Regardless of Tracy’s health, Harris was brought in to be a “significant contributor ...

Giants announced RB Tyrone Tracy was evaluated for concussion, but was cleared.

29 August 2026

Tracy left Friday’s preseason game against the Jets with an apparent injury in the second quarter. The Giants announced Tracy was evaluated for a concussion, but was able to clear concussion protocol. Before leaving the game, Tracy had 37 yards and a touchdown on four carries. He doesn’t carry much standalone fantasy value in a crowded Giants backfield that also includes Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary.

Cowboys RB Malik Davis was held out with the starters in Friday’s preseason game against the Saints.

29 August 2026

Davis appears to have secured a roster spot, but we won’t know for sure until Sunday. The broadcast initially referred to him as the starter, but it was instead RB Phil Mafah who took the field. Mafah dominated backfield touches throughout the first half, repeatedly running into Saints defenders on runs up the middle. He was spelled by RB Israel Abanikanda. Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue does not seem to be playing this evening. Last Sunday, The Athletic’s Jon Machota predicted Blue would seize the ...

Bengals WR Dohnte Meyers caught 3-of-3 targets for 51 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Eagles.

29 August 2026

Meyers seemingly has the No. 4 wide receiver job locked up. On the first drive, he hauled in three passes. He bagged a nine-yard pass on an in-breaking route from the slot on the first, a 17-yard pass via a corner route from the slot and a 25-yard gain on the following play. The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. labeled Meyers a “roster lock,” saying at first a special teams returner role seemed to be Meyers’ ticket to a roster spot, but “the consistency of his playmaking at every turn of ca ...

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy left preseason Week 3’s game against the Jets with an injury.

29 August 2026

Tracy went down after an eight-yard run late in the second quarter. After he was on the ground for a while, Tracy headed to the locker room with a trainer. While the nature of his injury remains unclear, Tracy was an effective runner against the Jets with 37 yards and a touchdown on four carries.

The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. reports that Bengals WR Colbie Young is still “picking up the details of the complicated offense.”

29 August 2026

Per Dehner, Young has “made as many highlight catches as anyone, validating the Bengals’ fourth-round pick.” He believes “the seeds of a bright future were planted” for Young this summer. That said, Young is still developing and is likely to start the season as the Bengals’ No. 5 wide receiver.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts caught 3-of-3 targets for 59 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Dolphins.

29 August 2026

Pitts ripped off multiple double-digit gains, moved well and looked tough to bring down. He delivered a 37-yard catch on the Falcons’ first drive, securing the pass on a quick out route from bunch formation before taking off down the right sideline. He later had a 16-yard gain on a sort crossing route, where he again chewed up yards after the catch. Pitts is a mid-tier TE1 entering the year.

Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas was held out with the starters in Friday’s preseason game against the Falcons.

29 August 2026

Douglas has seemingly secured a starting role in his rookie season. The big-bodied downfield wide receiver looked good in the first preseason game and played just three snaps in the second one. The Dolphins are expected to field a run-heavy offense, but Douglas could warrant FLEX treatment before long. He should be targeted late in drafts.

Dolphins WR Chris Bell caught 2-of-5 targets for 22 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Falcons.

29 August 2026

Bell played in the preseason for the first time this evening. He got involved early and looked good. He snagged a four-yard catch on the first play from scrimmage and hauled in an 18-yarder on the next drive by finding the soft spot in the Falcons’ zone coverage on a post route. Bell got shaken up by a hard hit while unsuccessfully attempting to bring in another pass, but he remained on the field and came back out for the next drive as well. Bell’s return from an ACL tear seems to be going ...

Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 7-of-8 passes for 95 yards and lost one fumble in Friday’s preseason game against the Dolphins.

29 August 2026

It was a rough day for Tagovailoa. The Falcons quarterback was greeted by booes in his former home stadium this evening. He maintained his relatively low level of play, throwing short and, at one point, fumbling a snap, which was recovered by a Dolphins defender. It was not his worst showing, but it is unlikely to earn him the starting job either.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) won’t play in preseason Week 3 against the Broncos, reports Alec Lewis of the Athletic.

28 August 2026

The Vikings hoped that McCarthy’s ankle injury would heal, but ultimately the 23-year-old quarterback isn’t ready to play. The injury is considered minor and McCarthy is day-to-day, according to Lewis. While minor, McCarthy’s injury has cost him valuable reps as he now finds himself battling Carson Wentz for the QB2 job.

ESPN’s Nate Taylor reports that Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen’s “ability to be a quality route runner should make him one of the Chiefs’ top answers” against man coverage.

28 August 2026

Taylor stops short of declaring Allen a starter in three-wide receiver sets, so he is likely still stuck in the No. 4 wide receiver spot. The fifth-round rookie has at least carved out a role for himself, and Taylor dubs him “the biggest winner in camp.” Allen is a worthwhile late-round pick at this time.

The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. said he “wouldn’t be surprised if the Bengals double last year’s” number of runs from under center on early downs.

28 August 2026

Dehner has been covering the Bengals’ intent to increase the number of plays run from under center all summer. Last season, “the Bengals ran from under center 120 times on early downs. The league average was 210.” Per Dehner, it has become clear “over the weeks that the under-center offense would not be going away.” The Bengals are committed to changing their ways in pursuit of more explosive gains. Starting RB Chase Brown is a locked-in RB1.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Raiders QB Kirk Cousins is expected to be named the starter eventually.

28 August 2026

Appearing on NFL Live Friday afternoon, Fowler said that people inside the Raiders’ building and around the league still expect Cousins to be named the starter. Raiders HC Klint Kubiak declined to name a starting quarterback Friday morning. Following the loss of Thursday’s preseason game against the 49ers, Kubiak said rookie Fernando Mendoza needs another three preseason games before going as far as mentioning that Mendoza’s practice reps will decline once the regular season begins. While ...

Steelers waived TE Jaheim Bell.

28 August 2026

The Steelers also waived CB Jaylon Guilbeau, S Jack Henderson, DB Brandon Hill, DB Tamon Lynum, DB Daryl Porter, OL Gregory Crippen, RB Alex Tecza, WR Jakobie Keeney-James and WR Isaiah Winstead. The Steelers released WR Cornell Powell

The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. reports, “any doubt about” Bengals DT Dexter Lawrence’s “condition and impact evaporated from the first 11-on-11 session of camp.”

28 August 2026

The Bengals sent the No. 10 overall pick in this year’s draft to acquire the disgruntled former Giant. Per Dehner, Bears coach Ben Johnson described him as “a menace” in joint practices, and QB Caleb Williams referred to him as “an All-Pro guy” and a “force to be reckoned with.” It sounds like things are panning out for Lawrence. Whether he can spark a defensive turnaround in Cincinnati remains to be seen, but the 28-year-old defensive tackle could pose problems this season.

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes WR Josh Cameron would be the fill-in starter if a Jaguars starting wide receiver misses time.

28 August 2026

This might not matter, but it is worth noting. The Florida Times-Union recently reported that Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers () is sidelined, as is WR Brian Thomas (shoulder). Both picked up minor injuries recently, but according to Shipley, the team does not “seem overly concerned” about either issue. Cameron and fellow sixth-round rookie WR CJ Williams have had good training camps. Cameron is evidently the name to know for waiver wire purposes in-season.

Titans hosted free agent S Will Harris for a visit on Friday.

28 August 2026

A fibula injury sidelined Harris for Weeks 4-12 last season. He totaled two pass breakups, 27 tackles and one quarterback pressure while active.

Browns released TE Jack Stoll.

28 August 2026

The Browns also released CB Tre Avery, CB Tyler Hall and OT Tyre Phillips. The Browns waived TE Drew Biber, OT Jeremiah Byers, P Nik Constantinou, S Christopher Edmonds, CB Nate Evans, DT Coziah Izzard, DT Patrick Jenkins, CB Jeremiah McClendon, T Izavion Miller, DE Jamil Muhammad, WR Ben Patterson and TE Jermaine Terry II.

ESPN’s Ryan McFadden said “it looks like” Raiders RB Mike Washington “has changed the staff’s perspective of the running back room.”

28 August 2026

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak was asked about the backfield’s status with Washington coming off top-tier preseason play while RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) rehabs his recent injury. Kubiak said he is “not making any promises on percentages of play time,” but he thinks both backs “will prepare to play a lot of football and as these games unfold, you react to the game.” McFadden used the term “1-2 punch” to sum up Kubiak’s potential running back usage. McFadden also notes that “in May, ...
