San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 10, because of tightness.
| Footballguys view: Monday's practice is the first one the 30-year-old RB has missed in this year's camp. As USA Today's Kyle Madson suggested, given McCaffrey's importance to the 49ers, it's not a huge surprise they'd be cautious with any issue he's having. Even general tightness isn't worth pushing on Aug. 10 with a joint practice against the Tennessee Titans looming Tuesday. It's unclear whether McCaffrey will be ready in time to participate in that joint session. We'll follow up, but there's nothing to indicate McCaffrey will be out for any prolonged period. |

Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston will start working with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: Akron Beacon Journal beat writer Chris Easterling told us late last month that Boston was arguably the offseason MVP for Cleveland's offense. Given his size and physical style of play, Easterling believes Boston could emerge as more than a threat in the red zone; he might also draw the most targets and catch more passes than the rest of the team's wideouts. KC Concepcion, as WR51, is currently the first Browns receiver off the board, in the 11th round. Boston is WR60, available in Round 13. The team's quarterback will be a factor here, but Boston's drumbeat is getting louder. |
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mante' Morrow was waived Monday, Aug. 10.

Link to storyDetroit Lions RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Campbell suggested Pacheo will miss some time. Campbell said he expects Pacheco to return before Detroit's Week 1 home contest against the New Orleans Saints and that he's "not concerned" about the injury. Expect Pacheco to remain the top backup to Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco's primary competition for snaps behind Gibbs, Sione Vaki, is currently sidelined by a broken nose. |
Detroit Lions C Cade Mays (wrist) suffered a wrist injury, and head coach Dan Campbell said Mays will miss a significant amount of time.
| Footballguys view: A source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Mays fractured a small bone in his wrist that is expected to sideline him roughly eight to 10 weeks. Without Mays, the Lions are expected to try Juice Scruggs at center as they attempt to find the best fit at the position before the season opener against New Orleans on Sept. 13. According to Footballguys offensive line analyst Matt Bitonti, the loss of Mays drops Detroit from 16th to 19th in his O-line rankings. Bitonti added that Scruggs might be a slightly better run blocker than Mays. |
New England Patriots OT Caedan Wallace was released Monday, Aug. 10.

Link to storyNew England Patriots TE Hunter Henry signed a two-year, $16 million extension Monday, Aug. 10. The deal is worth up to $20 million and includes $14.5 million guaranteed and a $4.2 million signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: Henry has been one of quarterback Drake Maye's go-to targets in critical situations. Henry has logged 40-plus receptions in each of his five seasons with the Patriots, which is the second-longest streak by a Patriots tight end all time behind Ben Coates' six. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he totaled a career-high 768 receiving yards and enters this year third on the franchise's all-time list for receptions among tight ends (259). Henry, who finished 2025 as TE9, is being drafted as TE19. |

Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) could miss the entire season, but they'll have a better timeline after he undergoes surgery on his torn triceps.
| Footballguys view: Tunsil's injury is a crucial blow to the Commanders' offense, costing it a player considered one of the best at his position. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Brandon Coleman will be Washington's starting left tackle during Tunsil's absence. The Commanders are not planning to look outside the organization for additional help at the position, according to Quinn. Coleman started 12 games at left tackle as a rookie in 2024 and three more last year when Tunsil was injured. He had been competing with Chris Paul at left guard this year. |
Chicago WR Luther Burden III is expected to miss the preseason due to the strained groin injury he suffered Saturday. Still, the Bears believe he should be back for the team's regular-season opener vs. the Panthers, per sources.
| Footballguys view: While this isn't great news for Burden investors, an extended absence will almost certainly drive his price down for those who haven't drafted yet. We'll monitor closely, but for those able to handle the risk, there will be some value created. Meanwhile, QB Caleb Williams will rely on Rome Odunze, running back D'Andre Swift, and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet as his main options while Burden is sidelined unless one of the depth wide receivers steps up. |
Green Bay Packers OT Zach Bako-Bewele (knee) took his first 11-on-11 reps of training camp Sunday, Aug. 9, since undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon in the offseason.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones is expected to practice in a joint session with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, Aug. 11, but he is not expected to play in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy investors shouldn't read anything into this. According to The Athletic's James Boyd, the 29-year-old signal caller has looked about as healthy as anyone could have hoped, considering he's only eight months removed from undergoing surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon. Boyd added that Jones has been sharp in camp, with his accuracy and velocity turning heads, but it's his mobility that's really stood out. He's taken off on a handful of scrambles, and it's impossible to tell he was ever injured. Boyd's reporting mirrors what we've heard from others, yet Jones is still going as QB24. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is 'a lot healthier right now' than he has been in recent years, according to head coach Todd Bowles. 'He is still a playmaker for us, and he makes big plays in the passing and blocking game,' Bowles said. 'He is peaking at the right time.'
| Footballguys view: In addition to being healthy, ESPN's Jenna Laine reports that Godwin has looked "energized: throughout practices, and we've seen him show some versatility in lining up all over the formation. According to Footballguy Matt Waldman, Godwin will likely be Baker Mayfield's favorite red-zone target and contend for the team lead in touchdowns. Waldman added, "The danger of a decline is near," but at Godwin's price -- he's WR40 -- the risk isn't great. |

Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop made all eight of his field goal attempts during practice Sunday, Aug. 9, including three kicks from 50-plus yards.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Loop had a great rookie year after the team drafted him in the sixth round to replace longtime kicker Justin Tucker, but he missed a kick to win the AFC North and send the team to the playoffs against the Steelers. So there was some question about how he would respond in 2026. So far, so good. There are no signs that Loop's confidence has been permanently shaken. |
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell has shown good separation skills and releases at the line during scrimmages. However, Bell's ball skills have held him back, and he appears to be behind the top four WRs DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer at this point.
| Footballguys view: While Bell is expected to be a roster lock, his game-day role is expected to be determined by how he finishes through the team's three preseason games. Especially if the Bills keep Mecole Hardman as a sixth receiver and their primary punt returner, the Athletic's Joe Buscaglia contends it wouldn't be stunning if Bell begins the regular season as a healthy scratch. |
Indianapolis Colts WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been having a great training camp, and he has strengthened his case to be the team's third receiver behind WRs Josh Downs and Alec Pierce.
| Footballguys view: While veterans Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell have made a few plays, neither has been as consistent as Westbrook-Ikhine. According to The Athletic's James Boyd, the 29-year-old always seems to be in the right place at the right time, and the chemistry he's building with Daniel Jones is easy to notice. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off a down year with the Miami Dolphins (11 receptions, 89 yards in 15 games). However, he totaled 32 catches for 497 yards and nine touchdowns with the Tennessee Titans in 2024, and so far, he's showing he's still capable of being a quality contributor. |

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers DL Javon Hargrave (knee) was on the practice field Sunday, Aug. 9, for the first time at training camp. He missed the final part of the team's offseason program due to 'a little flare up', and he started camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. He did individual drills Sunday. 'Going to meetings and not being able to watch yourself is just a different feeling,' Hargrave said. 'It was just good to be out there to do something.'

Link to storyIndianapolis Colts RB Ulysses Bentley IV is pushing to make the team as the third running back with RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) nursing a hamstring injury, and struggling when he is on the field.
Link to storyIan Rapoport of ESPN/NFL Network reports that Bears WR Luther Burden III's injury from Saturday was a groin strain, and that he will miss "a little bit of time".
| Footballguys view: This isn't the best news we could have hoped for, but as long as Burden is back in practice by the end of the month, it should be a non-factor for his season outlook. Our injury expert Adam Hutchison said his database puts the average missed time for a WR groin strain at two weeks with only 14% going over five weeks - when the injury would affect Burden's availability for regular season games. |
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, allowing rookie RB Seth McGowan to take first- and second-team reps. Giddens has also dropped a few passes in training camp when he has been on the field. RB Ulysses Bentley IV has also made a push for the third job, putting additional pressure on Giddens.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts PK Blake Grupe has made 27 of his 30 field-goal attempts during training camp so far, while PK Spencer Shrader has misfired on 10 of his 30 tries. The two are battling in training camp and the preseason for the starting placekicker job.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts RB Seth McGowan has emerged as the top running back behind RB Jonathan Taylor, as the team likes his bruising running style and soft hands out of the backfield. If he wants to carve out a consistent role, he needs to improve in pass protection.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (groin) suffered a groin injury in practice Saturday, Aug. 8, and he is expected to 'miss a little time', according to a source.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts QBs Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson are each expected to play in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 13, against the New England Patriots.
