Saints | Jordyn Tyson hamstring issue could linger Fri Aug 14, 03:29 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will miss time, and the injury could linger into the season, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: That Moore is allowing for the possibility of this injury keeping Tyson out four weeks - the amount of time until Week 1 - is discouraging. Hopefully the team is just being extra cautious with Tyson because of how long it took for to recover from his last right hamstring injury. Moore said this injury is not a recurrence of the previous injury, but that is small solace. Devaughn Vele and Juwan Johnson would pick up the slack in the passing game for any time that Tyson misses. |
Falcons | James Pearce Jr. suspended eight games Fri Aug 14, 02:23 PM
Atlanta Falcons LB James Pearce Jr. is being suspended for eight regular-season games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons already lost their other 2025 first round pick, Jalon Walker, for the season with a camp ACL tear. The Steelers, Packers, Panthers, and Saints will get to face this defense trying to figure out how to compete without two of their best players over the first four weeks. |

Link to story Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. flashes in preseason Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. rushed six times for 63 yards in the preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Washington's breakaway 53-yard run showed off great vision and footwork to unlock his speed. He has a rare size/speed combination and will be Ashton Jeanty's backup, if not earn more work than expected. Washington will force the coaches' hands if he keeps making highlight reel plays. |
Titans | Tony Pollard punches in TD, splits backfield with Spears Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed four times for 22 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Pollard and Tyjae Spears split the backfield, with Spears getting more snaps and the same number of carries, including a 25-yard run. This situation could be an RBBC even though ADP assumes Pollard will be the lead back and Spears the backup. |

Steelers | Drew Allar accounts for three TDs Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Drew Allar completed 10 of his 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns and added a three-yard rushing score in the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Allar completed easy throws easily, but that wasn't a given when he was at Penn State. All of the talk of the team rebuilding him from the ground up (and implication that Penn State didn't go a good job developing him) foreshadowed this auspicious debut. His value is up superflex dynasty leagues, but it is just one game. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love pops in preseason Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love rushed 11 times for 58 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Love was as good as advertised, perhaps even better depending on your expectations. With the Cardinals offense also impressing, the chances of him delivering on his ADP near the 2/3 turn in 12-team leagues is going up. He did leave with a minor ankle issue, but head coach Mike LaFleur said Love is "fine" and that he could have returned to the game. This was an alarming amount of work for such a valuable player in the first preseason game, but the Cardinals believe that rookie running backs need more live reps in preseason to prepare them than they have been given in the past. |
Raiders | Ashton Jeanty logs three carries Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty rushed three times for 16 yards in the preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty's offensive line actually helped him in this game, unlike what we saw more of last season. His best run of the night came behind big ticket free agent signing Tyler Linderbaum, which could be a common sight on Sundays this year. Jeanty's risk/reward range matches his late first round ADP. |
Cardinals | Michael Wilson has two catches Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught both of his targets for 23 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: The glass half empty take here is that Wilson gave way to Jalen Brooks for four snaps with the ones. The glass half full take is that Wilson still led the offense in catches and yards in that very small sample. With the Cardinals offense looking more game under Mike LaFleur, Wilson is becoming a more attractive pick around his 8th round ADP, especially in PPR leagues. |

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. snags TD Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught a seven-yard touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Harrison led the wide receiver group in snaps, but ran the same number of routes as Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne. He was able to separate on a crossing route in the red zone and Jacoby Brissett stood in to deliver a laser into a crowd for the score. That should build Harrison's confidence. It will be difficult for Harrison to have a true breakout season in this crowded offense, but as long as Brissett starts, it could be productive enough for Harrison to deliver his ADP value - which is in the sixth round of most drafts. |
Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett sharp in preseason Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed all five of his pass attempts for 44 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Brissett looked comfortable in Mike LaFleur's offense and zinged a short touchdown to Marvin Harrison Jr. on a crossing route that showed LaFleur understands how to use his receivers. The offensive line might have taken a big blow when second round pick Chase Bisontis went down with a knee injury that LaFleur called "not good", but otherwise it was an encouraging night for Brissett and the Cardinals offense. |

Packers | One grab for Jayden Reed Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed caught one of his two targets for 19 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reed's role did not grow to include two wide receiver sets in the offense's first action since Romeo Doubs left to sign in New England. That was Matthew Golden's spot. But Reed still ran as many routes as Golden and Christian Watson and got the most targets and catches. |
Jayden Reed player page
Bengals | Short night for Joe Burrow Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed five of his six passes for 39 yards against the Detroit Lions in the preseason Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's first snap under center produced an easy 16 yard gain on a dig route to Ja'Marr Chase, but later in the drive he was sacked. It was a mixed bag for the Bengals offense's first foray into a more traditional mode, but even a mere attempt to improve and diversify should be good for Burrow and company. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley leaves practice Fri Aug 14, 11:16 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 13, and had his ankle checked out by a trainer.
| Footballguys view: Barkley never went to the medical tent, but removed his cleat. Sounds like it's a minor issue, but we will be monitoring closely. Tank Bigsby has a high ceiling if Barkley misses any time this season. |
