Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) is participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 15.

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) is participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The quad strain Evans has is considered 'very minor' from reporters around the team. Evans can still produce as a WR2 for Fantasy GMs if he's healthy. He has a current ADP of WR29 (6.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (foot) is still making progress in his recovery from a foot injury, but head coach Mike LaFluer said there is no timetable for when Conner will participate in team drills.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals have a jam-packed backfield when everyone is healthy, so many have speculated that Conner could be available via trade for a team in need of a veteran presence at the running back position. Conner is currently behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart - and he's competing with Trey Benson for the no.3 spot. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3 last year, and Conner has been steadily working his way back since then. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 15, and head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that neither receiver is likely to practice this week.
| Footballguys view: With no practice for either receiver this week, Metcalf and Pittman will miss the next preseason game against the Jets. In the third preseason game, they may not play either (many starters don't play in that contest). That means the next time we see both on the field at the same time is likely the start of the regular season. The injuries are undisclosed, but it's safe-ish to assume they'll be out there for Week 1. As always, stay tuned. |

Seattle Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon agreed to terms on a four-year, $132 million contract extension Saturday, Aug. 15, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Witherspoon is now the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history by both the total ($101 million) and average value ($33 million AAV) of the contract. The two sides have been working aggressively for some time to get this record-setting deal done for the superstar cornerback. |

Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (leg) sustained an apparent leg injury in the team's preseason opener versus the Miami Dolphins Friday, Aug. 14.
| Footballguys view: Mariota was able to walk off the field under his own power and was talking to trainers on the sideline. He was seen immediately limping after going to hand off the ball. Sam Hartman took over for an injured Mariota, and he's in line to elevate on the depth chart to no.2 (behind Jayden Daniels) if Mariota has to miss time. |

Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Geno Smith (foot) is considered day to day due to foot soreness which kept him out of the team's preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Reports suggest the team is not concerned about Smith's foot injury, and it's speculated that if this were a regular-season game, he'd be a go. Smith has been pushing the ball to all three levels of the defense during training camp. He's a seasoned veteran who is a QB3 (QB29, 21.09) for Fantasy GMs in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson's (hamstring) current hamstring injury is not related to hamstring issues that he experienced last year while playing for Arizona State, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: We have some clarity on this hamstring injury, which is good since Tyson missed the NFL Combine due to the college hamstring injury. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Tyson is seeking multiple opinions on his recent injury. We'll now see how much time it takes to recover from this latest hamstring problem - and if he can avoid further issues. Tyson has a current ADP of WR48 (8.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Indianapolis Colts RB Seth McGowan seems to be the clear favorite for the No. 2 running back job at this point since RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) is sidelined with an injury, in the opinion of ColtsWire's Paul Bretl.
| Footballguys view: Giddens had been tracking as the no.2 back behind Jonathan Taylor this offseason, but now he's likely lost that spot. McGowan, a seventh-round pick who finished his college career at Kentucky, runs with vision and decisiveness. He needs to work on his receiving and pass-blocking skills to truly play up to his potential in the pros. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial if you've drafted Taylor. |

| Footballguys view: Dart completed 3-of-4 passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings. We're excited to see what new HC John Harbaugh does with the second-year passer this season. Giants OC Brian Daboll has pushed Dart in practice to play fast. Dart has a current ADP of QB14 (10.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Chicago Bears TE Nikola Kalinic (undisclosed) left the preseason game early Saturday, Aug. 15, and went to the locker room for an undisclosed reason.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will be sidelined this week because of the ankle injury he suffered during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13, and will be reevaluated after the week is over, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: The team is going to evaluate after next week, and there's no telling if Love is going to be available for the team's third preseason game that week. The rookie has been flashing in camp and the preseason as the team's starter. If this ankle injury lingers, Tyler Allgeier could be more involved to begin the regular season. Stay tuned. |
