Three-time Pro-Bowl selection Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions reached agreement today on a three-year, $67.5 million deal that could be worth up to $75.75 million and includes $51.5 million guaranteed, now making him the NFL's highest-paid running back.
| Footballguys view: Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor getting news deals seemed likely to generate some movement in Detroit, and here we are. Gibbs set a career-high with 320 touches and played the most snaps of his three-year career in 2025. This year, the arrival of new OC Drew Petzing and the departure of RB David Montgomery put Gibbs in position to do even more. He is one of the league's most dangerous playmakers in one of its most prolific offenses. Already going with the first pick overall in drafts this year, getting back to work will lend further confidence in Gibbs' ADP. |

Jacksonville Jaguars OG Emmanuel Pregnon (undisclosed) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 6, after suffering an apparent injury.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |
Free-agent FB Brock Lampe (Patriots) signed with the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived Lance Mason.

Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson 'had his best day to date' at training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The bar for "best day of camp yet" is very low for Watson, who had thrown six interceptions before this session. Shedeur Sanders has outplayed Watson, and there's buzz building that last year's third round pick Dillon Gabriel also deserves more snaps with the ones - and maybe should be included in the battle to start Week 1. It feels unlikely that Watson will make up enough ground to start. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson (groin) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 4, to receive treatment for a groin injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Jalen McMillan is also dealing with a knee issue that has him sidelined indefinitely, so rookie third round pick Ted Hurst will get more work with Baker Mayfield and the starters for now. He could move onto our late round target list with strong performances in practice. Johnson was having a great summer before his injury. As long as he gets better soon and goes into the season as a primary backup receiver for the Bucs at multiple positions, we should keep Johnson on our waiver wire watch list. |
Detroit Lions RB Sione Vaki (nose) will miss time after suffering a broken nose during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'We think he'll be OK,' Campbell said. 'He's just gonna need a minute here. It's just one of those freak things.'
| Footballguys view: Vaki hasn't been able to stay on the field enough to push Isiah Pacheco for snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs yet. This injury shouldn't affect Vaki for long, but it still solidifies Pacheco's status as the #2 running back after some speculated that Vaki could threaten his hold on the job. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of a hip flexor strain.
| Footballguys view: With this injury, Demarcus Robinson is now the only healthy 49ers wide receiver among the top six on their depth chart. Ricky Pearsall is out for the year, but Cowing and the others aren't expected to be out for long. It's still an ominous trend when you combine it with three of the team's top four running backs being out, leaving only Christian McCaffrey as healthy enough to practice right now. |

Free agent RB Dare Ogunbowale (Texans) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Ogunbowale is accomplished passing down back and he can also contribute on special teams. This complicates the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty, but fourth round size/speed back Mike Washington Jr. is still the favorite to get early down work if Jeanty goes down. |

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. The injury isn't considered to be long-term.
| Footballguys view: It's not a serious injury, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd has had an impressive camp - and more importantly stayed healthy so far after two injury-riddled seasons in the NFL. Jacobs could have more company in the backfield than he has in the past, and it's fair to wonder if he is wearing down after logging at least 260 touches in each of the first seven years of his career. |

Dallas Cowboys OT Tyler Guyton 'is still in a competition' for the team's starting left tackle role, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. He added that Guyton is currently in the lead.

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) is back at practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. He has not practiced since Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Finally a piece of good news about the 49ers wide receivers and injuries. If Stribling can stay on the practice field, he should be in line for a large role to begin the season. The #33 overall pick should be on your late round target list. |
Houston Texans LB Henry To'oTo'o agreed to terms on a two-year, $16 million extension with the team on Thursday, Aug. 6.

New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5 or Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: It's not clear yet what Doubs' issue is, but 2025 UDFA Efton Chism has been seeing more time with the first team while Doubs has been out. This should only fuel speculation that Kayshon Boutte is on the trading block and may not be a Patriot when the season starts. |
Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: The team has revealed that Dulcich's injury is to his right hand/finger and that he may miss a week or two before he returns. The tight end has a chance to lead the team in targets and receptions because the wide receiver group is inexperienced. The sooner he can take reps with new starting quarterback Malik Willis, the better. |
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) left practice Wednesday, Aug. 5, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Sean Payton told the media today that Waddle has a leg strain that will sideline him 4-5 days. As long Waddle returns to practice next week without incident, we can put this behind us, but if Waddle doesn't meet his return to practice timeline expectations or has a recurrence of this injury, we should feel less confident about his ability to stay healthy this season. |

Free-agent OL Greg Van Roten (Giants) is visiting the New England Patriots Thursday, Aug. 6.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars CB/WR Travis Hunter took 13 defensive snaps and four offensive snaps Thursday, Aug. 6. He has played 103 total snaps in training camp with 64 on defense and 39 offense. He has one catch on one target.
| Footballguys view: That split sounds about right for what we should expect from Hunter this year - about 38% of offensive snaps and 62% of defensive snaps. He could play more than that, but the ratio should be close that proportion even it is on a higher percentage of snaps on both sides of the ball. Hunter is an upside bench stash in fantasy leagues right now, which is in line with this outlook. Early reports have him taking most of his offensive snaps on the outside, which is good news for Parker Washington's fantasy outlook. |
Green Bay Packers CB Carrington Valentine (hamstring) remains out of practice Thursday, Aug. 6, and won't practice this week, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension Thursday, Aug. 6. The deal includes $39 million guaranteed and is worth a maximum of $47 million.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is essential to the team's success, and this is a strong sign that the team agrees. He's a first round pick in fantasy leagues, but James Cook is breathing down his neck to be the next running back off of the board after Christian McCaffrey. |
