Vikings | Kyler Murray gets first turns with starters to open camp Wed Jul 29, 04:55 PM
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Tuesday that Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy will both work with the first team as he makes his decision about who will be under center for Week 1. On Wednesday, we saw Murray in the lead spot. Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports that Murray was the first man up when the Vikings moved into 11-on-11 work and that he hit wide receiver Jordan Addison for a 30-yard gain.
| Footballguys view: The first practice of training camp also served as the kickoff for the final stage of their quarterback competition. "I'm not really too focused on the long-term vision of it," Murray said before practice. "I'm focused on the process, and that's day to day, coming out here with this walkthrough and then practice later . . . Prove to the coaches and guys what I'm capable of." As PFT notes, McCarthy will get his chances to prove the same point, and all of the developments on the field in Minnesota will be closely followed until O'Connell makes his call. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. says he'll be full-go for training camp Wed Jul 29, 04:38 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. says he'll be "full-go" for training camp after missing the offseason program due to groin surgery.
| Footballguys view: Adding to that, Akron Beacon Journal staffer Chris Easterling told us last week that team officials weren't at all concerned about Fannin's health. Now we have more confirmation of that. Fannin, who suffered the injury in Week 17 last season, said he was cleared about two weeks ago. He reported to camp last week with rookies and QBs and has been practicing. Fannin is currently being drafted as TE6, and we expect him to play a major role in Todd Monken's offense. |

Green Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave (neck) is on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list because of neck injury, and the team will be cautious with his return, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggests, if Musgrave is able to return to the practice field in short order, he may benefit from increased reps as Tucker Kraft (ACL), who is also on the active/PUP list, progresses in his own recovery. That said, Kraft expects to resume practicing soon and to be on the field for Week 1. His presence would obviously limit Musgrave's opportunities. |

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will share snaps with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: This is no surprise. Watson has been viewed as the frontrunner for the starting job most of the offseason, but Sanders was closing the gap as OTAs wound down. This now sounds like a real competition. It's worth noting that Watson and Sanders continued working with teammates this month, with the team's top receivers, Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Cedric Tillman, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston, among the attendees at the workouts in Miami. This one bears watching. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft expects to begin practicing very soon Wed Jul 29, 03:50 PM
Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst said earlier Wednesday that tight end Tucker Kraft will return "sooner rather than later." Kraft, who is on the active/physically unable to perform list, echoed that later Wednesday. Kraft said he expects to begin practicing "very soon," Ryan Wood of PackersNews.com reports.
| Footballguys view: Kraft tore the ACL in his right knee in a Nov. 2 game against the Panthers. He underwent surgery later that month. The season opener on Sept. 13 is still 46 days away, which is why Gutekunst says Kraft's participation in Week 1 is "very much a possibility." Kraft caught 32 passes for 489 yards and six touchdowns in the eight games last season before his injury. Based on Kraft's TE5 ADP, fantasy investors are buying the early return. |

Colts | RB Jonathan Taylor practicing as usual; has faith a contract will come Wed Jul 29, 03:32 PM
The Lions and Falcons are each dealing with apparent hold-ins by their respective star running backs. While Jonathan Taylor is not on his first pro deal, he is in a contract year. But he's not taking the same approach with the Colts. Taylor was on the field practicing with the team on Wednesday and said after the session that he feels like an extension is on its way. "There have been some good conversations, but I have faith between my agent and the front office," Taylor said. "I would love to be a Colt for life, and I have faith that things are moving in the right direction."
| Footballguys view: Taylor signed a three-year, $42 million extension with Indianapolis midway through the 2023 season. He's No. 1 in franchise history with 69 rushing touchdowns and No. 2 in rushing yards, needing 1,629 to take over the No. 1 spot from Hall of Famer Edgerrin James. Taylor is being drafted as RB4 this so far this year. |

49ers | Jordan James suffers rib fracture Wed Jul 29, 02:35 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James suffered a rib fracture in practice on Monday, July 29. There is no timeline for his return.
| Footballguys view: Even without a specific timetable, it's safe to assume James will miss some time. He was competing with rookie Kaelon Black for San Francisco's RB2 job behind Christian McCaffrey. While recent reports suggested James had the lead in the competition, NBCSports.com's Jennifer Lee Chan told us earlier this month that she expects Black to make a push in August. At the very least, James' injury opens the door to more opportunities for the rookie to prove himself. |
Panthers | Rookie WR Chris Brazzell likely to miss eight weeks Wed Jul 29, 02:30 PM
Joe Person of The Athletic reports that Panthers rookie WR Chris Brazzell suffered an LCL tear that is expected to keep him out for up to eight weeks.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell, the team's third-round pick in April's draft, was injured in Wednesday's training camp practice. He went down during a 7-on-7 drill and had to be carted off the field. Head coach Dave Canales said that Brazzell was held out of a couple of earlier practices because of knee soreness, although Person reports that the injury is not believed to be related to the previous issue. The Panthers saw linebacker Nic Scourton go down with a torn ACL during practice last week, so it has been a rough start to camp on both sides of the ball for Carolina. |
Giants | Malik Nabers is getting in some individual work Wed Jul 29, 01:51 PM
Malik Nabers has been running, cutting, running routes, and taking part in individual drills, per Joe Schoen.
| Footballguys view: Schoen, kicking off camp with a presser, told reporters "we're gonna see" with Nabers and that the Giants will "listen to the patient." Schoen added, "Hopefully he'll be ready," but "no predictions right now." Again, the fact that Nabers isn't opening camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list is a better initial outcome than expected. We'll continue to monitor, but expect Nabers' WR18 ADP to rise. |

Saints | Bryan Bresee feared to have torn ACL Wed Jul 29, 01:51 PM
New Orleans Saints DL Bryan Bresee is feared to have suffered a torn ACL at practice on Wednesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: Bresee was a 2023 first-round pick in New Orleans, and he started all 15 games he played during the 2025 season. He has 86 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 49 career games for the team. The Saints exercised Bresee's fifth-year option this offseason, so he is under contract for next season. |

Browns | Grant Delpit signs extension with Cleveland Wed Jul 29, 01:46 PM
Cleveland Browns S Grant Delpit signed a three-year extension worth $48 million, with $35 million guaranteed, on Wednesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick in 2020, Delpit missed his rookie season due to a torn Achilles suffered at practice in late August. He has since appeared in 78 games with 68 starts for Cleveland, delivering seven career interceptions with 21 passes defensed. He's also registered 6.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, and 17 quarterback hits. |

49ers | WR Ricky Pearsall dealing with knee issue; all options being explored Wed Jul 29, 01:45 PM
WR Ricky Pearsall is dealing with knee swelling related to the PCL injury he suffered last year. The 49ers say "all options" are being explored, and there is some "concern."
| Footballguys view: Injuries and bad luck have limited Pearsall since he arrived in San Francisco. So far, he has played 20 games and 13 starts over the past two seasons. Pearsall only has 928 yards over that time. He averaged a below-average 1.31 yards per route run during his rookie year. However, that jumped to 1.68 in his second NFL season. He has produced, but not enough. Today's news is made worse because recent reports suggested he appeared to be gaining ground so far this year. We'll watch for more. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. might be four weeks away from being cleared Wed Jul 29, 11:51 AM
Michael Penix Jr. told reporters that while it could be sooner, it might be four weeks before he's cleared to practice. How his body feels during camp will be a determining factor.
| Footballguys view: There was hope that Penix would be ready for that work at this point in his ACL rehab, but the quarterback said that everyone is taking a cautious approach to the final steps in his recovery. "I feel like I can do everything," Penix said. "But I have to be still smart about it. I can't afford to have somebody trip and fall and land on me right now." That's true, but a four-week timeline all but ensures Tua Tagovailoa is the Week 1 starter. |

Falcons | Bijan Robinson sitting out drills as he awaits a new deal Wed Jul 29, 10:48 AM
Per multiple reporters from Falcons training camp, running back Bijan Robinson is not participating in practice on Wednesday. Video from Alison Mastrangelo of WSB-TV shows Robinson on the field without a helmet and not performing drills. While head coach Kevin Stefanski did not address the situation in his press conference before the start of practice, this is likely due to Robinson seeking a new contract.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was a first-team All-Pro in 2025 after leading the league with 2,298 yards from scrimmage. He rushed for 1,478 yards with seven touchdowns and caught 79 passes for 820 yards with four TDs. Robinson is under contract through 2027 after the Falcons exercised his fifth-year option. But his performance over the last three seasons has put him in a position for a contract extension. Robinson's current ADP, RB2, shouldn't change based on this news. But with Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, the RB1, in a similar situation, we'll all be watching these situations closely. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs reports for training camp, but appears to be holding in Wed Jul 29, 10:40 AM
It appears the Lions have a hold-in on their hands. Via multiple reporters on the scene, running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in Wednesday's practice to open training camp. The Lions posted a picture of Gibbs having reported, which is an indication of a hold-in as opposed to a hold-out.
| Footballguys view: While HC Dan Campbell did not address the situation during his pre-practice press conference, Gibbs is eligible for an extension, and the two sides have reportedly been working toward a deal. Expect Gibbs to become the highest-paid player at his position. The No. 12 overall pick of the 2023 draft, Gibbs has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons. In 2025, he rushed for 1,223 yards with 13 touchdowns while catching 77 passes for 616 yards with five TDs. He's being drafted with the first pick overall in fantasy drafts. This situation shouldn't change that. |

Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa slowed by minor back issue Wed Jul 29, 09:57 AM
The Falcons' quarterback competition is on hold as the team starts training camp on Wednesday. HC Kevin Stefanski said that Tua Tagovailoa will not practice after an injury "flared up." Stefanski did not specify the injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the quarterback is dealing with back tightness.
| Footballguys view: Stefanski said the injury is not considered serious and that they expect him back sooner rather than later. The head coach also said that Michael Penix Jr. has not been cleared for team drills, so neither of the players vying for the starting job in Atlanta is participating in practice at this point. The Falcons are expected to sign former Cowboys and Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush to give them another option at the position as they wait for Tagovailoa and Penix to get the green light for full practice activities. We'll continue to monitor. |

Saints | Chris Olave in talks for extension Wed Jul 29, 12:47 AM
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: On the field, Olave (blood clot) is now "full go" and has no restrictions, as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp. Whether he gets a new deal or plays out the current contract, Olave is a solid fantasy prospect with a WR12 ADP. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield done negotiating extension for '26 Wed Jul 29, 12:41 AM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team have not come to an agreement on a contract extension, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. The sides are done negotiating and Mayfield will play this season under his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times and Greg Auman of FOX Sports both report that the talks have finished with the quarterback reporting to training camp on Tuesday. Mayfield will now have a cap number of $39.975 million in 2026 on the last year of his deal. Depending on how the season goes, the Buccaneers could franchise tag Mayfield in the 2027 offseason. That would put Mayfield in a position to earn $47.97 million on the one-year franchise tender. Whatever the case, Mayfield is once again betting on himself, a tactic that's worked well for him in the past. |

Texans | Tank Dell not on PUP to start training camp Wed Jul 29, 12:35 AM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) will not start Texans' training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell said in June that he felt he'd be ready to go at the start of training camp and it appears the Texans agree with his assessment of his health. The speedy wideout missed all of last season after suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024 and was able to do limited work during the team's offseason program. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons. His progress is notable and if he builds on it early in camp, expect his WR75 ADP to rise. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel to start camp on active/NFI list Wed Jul 29, 12:34 AM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (undisclosed) will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: According to According to SI.com, it's not clear what's occurred in his situation. The second-year wideout participated fully in the Texans' offseason program without any reported injury, so something happened since the last time the team was practicing. The issue could be something as simple as an illness, or it might be a more serious injury that could keep him out of participating in practice longer. Noel was expected to compete for first-team reps in the slot after a promising finish to his rookie campaign. We'll follow up as more information comes to light. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson to practice Wednesday Wed Jul 29, 12:30 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 27. 'I think we'll see him play football tomorrow,' New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The team's first-round draft pick (No. 8 overall) didn't do much on-field practice work after the first day of rookie minicamp as the team sought to manage the recurrence of a hamstring injury he suffered before he was drafted. Expect the Saints to be cautious, with Tyson ramping up to being able to fully participate in practice. |

Browns | Denzel Ward, CLE agree on two-year extension Wed Jul 29, 12:29 AM
Cleveland Browns CB Denzel Ward and the Browns have agreed on a two-year contract extension worth $62.2 million, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: The $31.1 million annual average value makes Ward the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time in his career. In the aftermath of the Browns' dealing defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in June, Ward became Cleveland's longest-tenured player. Last season, Ward recorded 39 tackles and an interception in 15 games played. The No. 4 pick in the 2018 draft, Ward has 18 interceptions, 104 passes defended, and 361 tackles in eight seasons. |
