Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports a contract extension for Jahmyr Gibbs is “expected to be finalized soon.”

06 August 2026

Gibbs made a brief appearance at practice today. When Lions reporter Dave Birkett asked him if a deal was close, Gibbs gave a thumbs-up before heading into the indoor practice facility. The deal might not be officially signed yet, but it sounds like that should happen any day now. With the hold-in over and a contract in sight, Gibbs remains the 1.01 in early fantasy drafts.

Bucs GM Jason Licht said he thinks Baker Mayfield is a franchise quarterback.

06 August 2026

If Mayfield is to be believed, the Bucs don’t want to pay him like a franchise passer. Mayfield told ESPN last week that he was offered a two-year deal worth less than $50 million per year by the Bucs. Coming off a down season, Licht apparently wasn’t willing to commit to his supposed franchise quarterback long-term. Now Mayfield will play out the final year of his current contract before becoming a free agent next offseason. If he plays well, expect the Bucs to use the franchise tag to pre ...

Patriots hosted Greg Van Roten for a visit.

06 August 2026

New England addressed their offensive line issues in several ways over the offseason, but more depth can never hurt. Van Roten has started every game over the past three years, one in Vegas and two with the Giants. He did not miss a single offensive snap over his 34 games in New York. Even if he’s just a backup in New England, that type of consistency is invaluable.

Bucs GM Jason Licht said he has “no plans” to trade Vita Vea.

06 August 2026

Vea was looking for a new contract this offseason and the Bucs have not met his demands. In response, Vea requested a trade and is not currently participating in training camp. The team is calling it a back injury. We’re comfortable assuming it’s a bank issue. Vea can’t realistically hold out during the regular season, meaning he’s going to play football this year, one way or another. Whether that’s in Tampa and on his current contract remains to be seen.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Tristan Wirfs (hamstring) is expected to return during the preseason.

06 August 2026

Wirfs went down with a hamstring issue during the first week of camp. By the sound of it, he will miss several weeks of practice. For a six-year veteran, that’s not a major issue, as long as he is ready to go by Week 1 and doesn’t suffer any setbacks. Health permitting, the Bucs should have one of the league’s best offensive lines this year.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Kenyon Sadiq (hernia surgery) is only expected to miss “a couple of weeks.”

06 August 2026

Sadiq underwent the procedure early in the offseason but recently suffered a setback. The good news is that Glenn said it isn’t something that will sideline him during the regular season. Still, missing the first half of training camp is not a great start for a rookie, let alone one playing a position that is notoriously difficult to transition from college to pro. Sadiq will likely pick up steam as the season goes on, but he doesn’t figure to have much fantasy value during the first month ...

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said he is not sure how long Jalen McMillan (knee) will be out.

06 August 2026

McMillan was one of several Bucs wideouts held out of practice yesterday, but it sounds like the others were largely maintenance days. McMillan, on the other hand, is dealing with a rather mysterious injury, given that we have no timeline for his return. It could ultimately be a minor issue, but his absence in practice will free up reps for rookie Tedd Hurst. The two are likely competing for the final starting spot in three-receiver sets. McMillan’s knee issue now has Hurst firmly on the slee ...

Jahmyr Gibbs participated in the walkthrough portion of Thursday’s practice.

06 August 2026

According to Lions reporter Dave Birkett, Gibbs is in uniform “taking reps during the walk/through portion” of practice. He later stepped aside to work with trainers while individual drills were going on. Gibbs has already denied that he was missing practice because of his contract talks, but it’s hard to believe him on that front. His return to practice could mean that he and the Lions have reached an agreement on a new contract. Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor inked new contracts thi ...

Colts Roundtable’s Jake Arthur reports Anthony Richardson is having a “roller coaster” training camp.

06 August 2026

Richardson, as usual, has been impressive on deep balls, but has had “issues involving his timing and anticipation, securing the snap has been a problem, as he’s bobbled or dropped several shotgun snaps,” Arthur said. Richardson is competing with Riley Leonard for QB2 duties behind Daniel Jones. Leonard, according to Arthur, has seen “slightly” more work with the Colts’ second-team offense than Richardson has in camp. Leonard has been “finding the layups” in Shane Steichen’s o ...

Colts Roundtable’s Jake Arthur reports Daniel Jones (Achiiles) appears to be “completely fine physically.”

06 August 2026

Arthur said Jones, coming off a December Achilles tear, looks “as if he’d never had major surgery, taking off on full-speed scrambles multiple times. He’s been efficient and accurate, kept the offense in rhythm, and spread the ball around.” This is in line with everything else coming out of Colts camp just eight months after Jones ruptured his Achilles — an injury that often requires a year of recovery. If Jones is able to scramble as much as he did before the injury, he could be one ...

Colts signed Jonathan Taylor to a two-year, $44 million contract extension.

06 August 2026


Vikings WR Jordan Addison (jammed thumb) worked individual drills Wednesday.

06 August 2026

Addison jammed his thumb in Tuesday’s practice, but head coach Kevin O’Connell said tests did not reveal a serious injury. Running routes in individual drills Wednesday, Addison did not catch passes and worked off to the side during team drills. Ultimately, the injury is not serious and he should be back as the Vikings’ No. 2 wideout heading into the season.

Rams EDGE Myles Garrett (lower-body soreness) returned to practice Wednesday.

06 August 2026

Garrett missed four practices with lower-body soreness, but suited up and practiced Wednesday. There is no concern for the star 30-year-old pass rusher; Garrett is back on the practice field and could be soon.

49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk missed practice due to a broken finger on Wednesday.

06 August 2026

Juszczyk missed practice Wednesday due to a broken finger. Also missing practice was WR Jacob Cowing, who was dealing with a hip flexor strain. It is unclear how much time the two will miss, but add them to the long list of offensive skill player injuries for the 49ers in training camp.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry said he “would like to finish [his] playing career with [the] Ravens.”

05 August 2026

In an appearance for the show, Henry said, “when I hang it up, Baltimore is the last place I want to be.” The 32-year-old later followed up on social media by saying he “would like” to finish his career with the Ravens, but clarifying he “never said anything about retiring.” Henry is still producing at a high level and is not headed for retirement just yet. However, when he does consider retirement, he hopes to close out his career with the Ravens. Henry has produced 3,516 rushing ...

Raiders signed TE Chris Myarick.

05 August 2026

Myarick is a fullback/tight end hybrid who last appeared in a regular season game for the Giants in 2022. The Raiders add him as a preseason body in training camp and his addition indicates Klint Kubiak has fullback plays he wants to draw up, with Connor Heyward already with the team at the position. Tight end Zack Kuntz and safety Tanner Wall were waived as a result.

Tyler Conklin (calf, PUP) passed his physical.

05 August 2026

He suffered the calf issue in the spring and has yet to practice, but that is set to change. Conklin will presumably be activated from the PUP list and return to practice tomorrow. He will serve as a depth option behind Sam LaPorta.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports people around the Eagles are “really excited” about Dontayvion Wicks.

05 August 2026

Fowler noted that Wicks has been taking advantage of his extra opportunities with both DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon sidelined. Philly traded for Wicks this offseason and even added an additional year to his contract after making the move. Wicks played under new OC Sean Mannion in Green Bay, giving him some extra familiarity with the offense. He may still be stuck with a No. 3 role once Lemon and Smith are healthy, but Wicks should produce the occasional spike week as the team’s deep ball spe ...

The Steelers listed Jaylen Warren as RB1 on their first preseason depth chart.

05 August 2026

Rico Dowdle is listed as the RB2. We wouldn’t read into this too much, but it does align with the approach fantasy managers have been taking to this backfield. Warren currently comes off the board at RB27 while Dowdle sits at RB32. With a larger role through the air also in his future, Warren continues to looks like a safe bet for FLEX-worthy fantasy numbers in 2026.

Rams hosted Aaron Donald for a workout.

05 August 2026

This comes from the league’s official transaction wire, unlike Donald’s previous visit with the Rams. According to PFT, he worked out in a helmet to see how he felt. The visit wasn’t meant for the Rams to evaluate Donald. We’re going to assume Donald has stayed roughly in football shape if he’s considering a return to LA. While it’s not a done deal just yet, all signs point to him playing with the Rams this year.
