Indianapolis Colts QBs Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson are each expected to play in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 13, against the New England Patriots. Head coach Shane Steichen said the plan is to play the two signal callers, which means QB Daniel Jones isn't expected to be in action.

Lions | Veteran backup Josh Dobbs added Sun Aug 9, 03:41 PM
Free-agent QB Josh Dobbs (Patriots) signed a one-year, $1.425 million deal Sunday, Aug. 9, with $475,000 fully guaranteed, national beat writers Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport reported. The team moved quickly to add Dobbs after QB Teddy Bridgewater surprisingly elected to retire Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Dobbs has experience under Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing when they were together in Arizona, so this should be a smooth transition in the wake of Bridgewater's unforeseen decision to retire. |
Lions | D.J. Reed suffers groin injury Sun Aug 9, 03:37 PM
Detroit Lions CB D.J. Reed (groin) suffered a groin injury in practice, but head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday, Aug. 9, that the injury is not considered serious. 'We feel good about that. When he's ready, he'll be ready to go,' Campbell said.

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling back on the field Sun Aug 9, 03:01 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) was back at practice Saturday, Aug. 8, and he was able to catch balls from multiple quarterbacks on multiple routes, making several splash plays. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Stribling has been picking things up in a hurry.
| Footballguys view: Finally some good news about a 49ers injury situation. With Ricky Pearsall already on the shelf for the year and veterans Christian Kirk and Mike Evans dealing with injuries, Stribling has a clear path to playing time right away. He should be on your late round target list. |
49ers | Dre Greenlaw returns to team drills Sun Aug 9, 03:00 PM
San Francisco 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw (general soreness) was able to return to team drills Saturday, Aug. 8, after missing some time due to general soreness.

49ers | Mike Evans appears close to full strength Sun Aug 9, 02:43 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Saturday, Aug. 8, but he was able to work on the side. Evans reportedly appears close to full strength, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans likely feels like he can return right now, but the team wants to be smart with the veteran receiver.
| Footballguys view: We just want to see Evans get in some practices intermittently with veteran rest days mixed in to feel ok about taking him at ADP. Evans is often available in the fifth round even though he should be the clear #1 target in a productive passing game. The age/injury risk is more than baked into his cost. |

Many of the players were able to do some work on the side.
| Footballguys view: This is not a complete list of the players who are out because of injuries. The 49ers have not played a preseason game yet. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan dealing with hip flexor strain Sun Aug 9, 02:09 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (hip) missed practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to a strained hip flexor, according to league sources. The team is hopeful he'll be able to return in about a week. Jordan has reportedly had a strong camp, as he battles RB Noah Whittington for the No. 3 job behind new starter RB David Montgomery and primary backup RB Woody Marks.
| Footballguys view: Jordan had a 100 yard game late in the season and clicked in the team's running game more than Marks did, so he was a player of note on our waiver wire watch list. Whittington is a swiss army knife back, more like Marks, so if he makes the team as the #3 over Jordan, he's less of a threat to Marks' upside if David Montgomery misses time during the season. |
Panthers | Bryce Young to play against Buffalo Sun Aug 9, 02:01 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young will play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, on the road against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Dave Canales said Young and the starters will play 10-20 plays depending on how the drives develop.

Packers | Christopher Brooks back at practice Sun Aug 9, 01:45 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks (hamstring) was able to take part in an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9. He was practicing for the first time at training camp after starting on the non-football injury (NFI) list due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Brooks had a chance to seize the backup RB job behind Josh Jacobs after the team let Emanuel Wilson walk as a restricted free agent, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd finally had a healthy offseason after seeing the Meyer Institute of Sport and learning how his recovery from a 2020 ACL tear had him overcompensating still, which caused a myriad of injuries. Lloyd is the back to target late in drafts behind Jacobs, who is dealing with a minor groin issue. |
Packers | Several players missing from practicing Sun Aug 9, 01:39 PM
Green Bay Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper (foot), LB Zaire Franklin (personal), CB Marlon Jones (undisclosed) and TE Josh Whyle (neck) are not taking part in an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9. However, head coach Matt LaFleur said none of the injuries or situations are considered long-term. Franklin, for instance, was away due to excused travel.

Packers | Matthew Golden nursing toe injury Sun Aug 9, 01:36 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) did not take part in a closed indoor practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to a toe injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
| Footballguys view: Of this and Jayden Reed's ankle injury, this might be slightly more worrisome because Golden's game is more predicated on speed, and toe issues can keep a receiver from being able to really open up the throttle. We will still trust coach LaFleur that this is not something to worry about re: Golden's outlook this season as long as he's back at practice soon. |
Packers | Jayden Reed sits to rest ankle Sun Aug 9, 01:33 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (ankle) did not at an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to an ankle injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
| Footballguys view: Matthew Golden also has a toe issue, so the Packers wide receivers are a little banged up right now. As long as Reed and Golden are back at practice soon, we will just chalk this up to normal camp wear and tear as players round into shape. |

Seahawks | Minor issue for Jadarian Price Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (legs) is dealing with general leg soreness but is expected to return in a few days, head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: We will take the Seahawks at their word that it is general soreness unless this absence extends for weeks, not days. It is important for Price get as many practice reps as possible because unlike a typical first round running back, he was a backup (to #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love) during his college career. George Holani would have a strong Week 1 outlook if this absence goes on longer than planned. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice limited Saturday Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was limited to individual drills Saturday, Aug. 8, and left practice early to receive treatment on his right knee.
| Footballguys view: This was planned according to team beat writers, so it shouldn't change our outlook for Rice. It is a reminder that like Patrick Mahomes, Rice might not be 100% to begin the season, or at least need to knock off some rust before performing up to previous levels. |

Commanders | Laremy Tunsil to miss significant time Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) suffered a torn triceps during practice Saturday, Aug. 8, and is expected to miss at least a significant portion of the regular season, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Tunsil is the best offensive lineman on the Commanders roster by a good margin. The team is installing a new offense, and now they will be adjusting to having a new left tackle. Swing tackle Andrew Wylie and backup left tackle/left guard Brandon Coleman will have a shot to start, but the team also signed three veteran offensive tackles, signaling an open mind to the places where they could find Tunsil's replacement. It is a lot more difficult today to see any Commanders overachieving in fantasy leagues than it was yesterday, and it wasn't easy yesterday. |
Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane endorsed by coach Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane has earned a role in the offense with his play in training camp, according to head coach Jesse Minter. 'There is consistency of making really contested, nice catches and being a really friendly target for the quarterback,' Minter said. 'He's certainly starting to see a vision of maybe what he can become in the offense.'
| Footballguys view: The drumbeat is loud and consistent about Lane, who was already known for circus catches, but is now more dependable than expected in his rookie camp and ready to play a dedicated role in the Ravens pass offense from day one. Lamar Jackson rarely supports more than one fantasy relevant wide receiver, but we should put Lane on our waiver wire watch list in case he is on a fast track to being a productive pro. |
Commanders | WAS signs three linemen Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Free-agent OT Daniel Brunskill (Dolphins), OT Max Scharping (Steelers), and OT Nicholas Petit-Frere (49ers) were signed by the Washington Commanders, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 8. The Commanders also released OG Tim McKay.
| Footballguys view: This is what happens when you find out you are losing your stud left tackle for a good part of the regular season. The Commanders will try to get by with backup left tackle Brandon Coleman (who was competing for a starting job at left guard) or swing tackle Andrew Wylie in place of Laremy Tunsil, who went down with a torn tricep, but they are open this group of veterans providing competition and at least giving them another option on the practice squad if the replacements already on the roster don't work out. |
Chargers | Tre Harris 'right there with top guys' Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris was mentioned as 'right there with Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as our top guys', according to HC Jim Harbaugh on Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: It's clear who the top three wide receivers will be for the Chargers, but the proportion of their roles compared to one another in the new Mike McDaniel offense is uncertain, and subject to change based on how everyone performs once the regular season is underway. Harris is going in the late rounds of drafts, well after Johnston or McConkey even though Harbaugh is including him with them in his assessment. We should have Harris on our late round target list. |

He was set to be the team's primary backup to QB Jared Goff. Now, QB Tom Kennedy will get a longer look, starting the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 13, against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Rams | Stetson Bennett's status for preseason opener uncertain Sun Aug 9, 10:05 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Stetson Bennett could see playing time in the team's preseason opener versus the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday, Aug. 15, although head coach QB Sean McVay hasn't made a final decision yet.
| Footballguys view: This is a sign that Bennett is ahead of first round pick Ty Simpson to back up Matthew Stafford. File this away in superflex leagues in case Stafford's back acts up during the season. Hopefully we won't see either quarterback play this season except in garbage time or in a meaningless Week 18 game. |
