Giants | Calvin Austin on injured reserve Thu Aug 27, 04:59 PM
New York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the Giants here. Austin had been an impressive player this offseason, and many were speculating he would play a sizable role in the Giants' offense as the slot receiver. Now, the Giants could turn to Malachai Fields as an option behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Darnell Mooney. |
Saints | Devin Neal could be IR candidate Thu Aug 27, 04:49 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) could start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list after recently suffering a hamstring injury, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
| Footballguys view: Neal is a talented reserve back, but injuries have prevented him from playing up to his potential. He needs to get healthy, stay healthy, and show why the team has him as a developmental back behind guys like Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara. |
Lions | Payton Turner placed on IR Thu Aug 27, 04:35 PM
Detroit Lions DE Payton Turner (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Aug. 27.

49ers | Isaac Guerendo may stay on PUP list Thu Aug 27, 04:34 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) is a candidate to start the regular season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner.
| Footballguys view: It makes sense for a player who has missed all of training camp with a pectoral injury. The PUP list would require Guerendo to miss the first four weeks of the regular season. After that, the team could open up a practice window for him to see if he can be activated or put on season-ending Injured Reserve. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet could avoid PUP list Thu Aug 27, 04:30 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) may be able to avoid the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list if the team believes he will be able to play in a game before Week 5, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Brady Henderson.
| Footballguys view: Any player on the PUP list must miss the first four weeks of the regular season. It sounds like Charbonnet might be ready to get on the field before then. Now, whether or not he's 100 percent healthy at the time is a different story. The Seahawks open the season with Jadarian Price and George Holani as their top backs. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs formally charged Thu Aug 27, 03:35 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his May arrest. The NFL has been monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review, according to Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The NFL could end up suspending Jacobs once their investigation is concluded. That means Fantasy GMs need to consider Marshawn Lloyd late in drafts. Jacobs has a current ADP of RB16 (5.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. Lloyd is a talented back who has flashed during training camp and the preseason. If he stays healthy (a problem so far in Lloyd's pro career), he could be the lead back for the Packers if/when Jacobs has to miss time. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf restructures Thu Aug 27, 10:35 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf restructured his contract Thursday, Aug. 27, converting base salary into a signing bonus and creating nearly $18 million in 2026 salary cap space.
| Footballguys view: Signed through the 2029 season, this moves frees up cap space and gives the Steelers more flexibility in the future. Metcalf has missed time in training camp dealing with an undisclosed injury, but the veteran receiver insists that he'll be ready for Week 1. He's got a current ADP of WR27 (8.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Houston Texans OT Braden Smith (foot) is likely out a few weeks with an injury to his plantar fascia.
Link to story Texans | C.J. Stroud looking to run more? Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud changed his diet and added muscle this offseason in order to improve his speed. 'I do feel fast,' Stroud said. 'You want to be explosive, but I also think it has to do with making sure you're able to take hits.'
| Footballguys view: Reports out of Houston indicate Stroud is continuing to develop a strong relationship with OC Nick Caley, and this offseason it seems like he's got more command of the offense. Eligible for a new contract, Stroud has been business-like in his offseason work and reps in training camp. While he may not have to fill the air with footballs (having an elite defense means they may not be too pass-happy), Stroud is a QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs ....more upside if he's running a bit more. |

Jaguars | Work to do for Bhayshul Tuten? Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten needs to pay faster and trust his reads, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'We've just got to continue to work on his tracks, reading his keys, and just go play,' Coen said. 'Not overthinking where the ball maybe should go or could go, and just stick your foot in the ground and get north because when he does that, and he gets his shoulders square and downhill, it can be impressive.'
| Footballguys view: Coen has previously said the team would use an RBBC approach this season with Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez. Tuten is going off the board at RB28 (6.05) and Rodriguez at RB46 (13.09) in 12-team PPR formats. A second-year back, Tuten has incredible upside as a ball-carrier because of his home-run speed. It sounds like Coen believes the young back has some important things to work on in order to get the most out of his potential. |
Giants | Bigger role for Darnell Mooney Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney saw an 'increased workload' during practice Wednesday, Aug. 26, following the injury to WR Calvin Austin (knee), according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Mooney signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Giants this offseason ($3 million in dead money, $7 million in incentives). Drops, injuries, and inconsistent play plagued Mooney's game last year with the Falcons. He may never be the 1,000-yard receiver he used to be with the Bears (2021), but Mooney gives the Giants a veteran presence as their no.3 receiver behind Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft enjoys contact Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he enjoyed that hard hits he took during the joint practice Wednesday, Aug. 26. 'I needed some contact like that to wake up the nervous system and get ready for Week 1,' Kraft said.
| Footballguys view: Kraft is coming back from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short, and taking that contact is just part of the process. He's admitted the team is likely to use him on a snap count for perhaps the first half of the regular season. Keep Kraft on your waiver wire speed dial as he can be a TE1 for Fantasy GMs when he's up to full speed. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (calf) is dealing with a calf injury but expects to return to practice in the near future.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Downs had to miss some time in camp with a groin issue. Now, it's a minor calf injury that is keeping him out of action. When healthy, we could see Downs and Keenan Allen out there getting most of the work at the wide receiver position for the Colts. Alec Pierce (ankle) has missed this offseason recovering from surgery, but he should be eased into action now that the regular season is almost here. Stay tuned. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was scheduled to undergo some tests on the ankle injury he suffered during practice Monday, Aug. 25, according to a source. He did not have any issues walking after the injury.
| Footballguys view: Henderson slipped on the field making a cut in practice and removed himself from the drill. We'll see if these tests reveal anything serious about Henderson's ankle injury. Rhamondre Stevenson and Henderson are set to be in a 50/50 RBBC this season. |

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is dealing with a swollen ankle, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Reid said Walker's shoe caused some swelling around Walker's ankle, but the veteran coach expects his new starting running back to be fine. With Patrick Mahomes coming back from the knee injury that ended his 2025 season, the Chiefs might lean on Walker at the start of the regular season. Walker has a current ADP of RB9 (2.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
