49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling back at practice Thu Aug 6, 01:10 PM
San 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. |

Patriots | No practice for Romeo Doubs for second straight day Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM
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. |
Dolphins | Greg Dulcich day-to-day Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM
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. |
Broncos | Jaylen Waddle leaves early Thu Aug 6, 11:19 AM
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. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter not on offense often Thu Aug 6, 11:11 AM
Jacksonville 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. |
Packers | Carrington Valentine remains out Thu Aug 6, 10:55 AM
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.

Colts | Jonathan Taylor extended Thu Aug 6, 09:09 AM
Indianapolis 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. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith rests his hammy Thu Aug 6, 01:50 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was held out of practice for a second straight day on Wednesday, Aug. 5, due to a sore hamstring.
| Footballguys view: We're not worried about this yet, but if Smith doesn't return to practice in the next week or so, then we will have to at least consider downgrading him because of the possibility of recurrence during the season, especially early in the season. The Eagles offense can't afford to be without Smith, so expect the team to be conservative with his return to the field. |

Eagles | Makai Lemon out again Thu Aug 6, 01:44 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) missed practice for a second consecutive day on Wednesday, Aug. 5, due a sore hamstring.
| Footballguys view: It's time to start moving Lemon down your redraft board. He missed time this spring, and now is missing practice during the important installation of a new offense. Lemon is also missing out on reps that would strengthen his chemistry with Jalen Hurts. As of now, we should pencil Dontayvion Wicks in as the #2 receiver in Philadelphia. |
Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa likely to start in Week 1 Thu Aug 6, 01:12 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) did more work in 11-on-11 drills on Wednesday, Aug. 5, and ESPN's Marc Raimondi writes that it is 'fair to say Tagovailoa will be the team's Week 1 starter unless something major changes.'
| Footballguys view: This is probably based on Michael Penix not having enough time in practice to prove he should be starter because he is still rounding into shape after ACL surgery. Tagovailoa is a good fit for Kevin Stefanski's offense, but he has also had durability issues. Chances are we will see both quarterbacks at some point this season. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette injury update Thu Aug 6, 12:58 AM

Link to story Packers | Matthew Golden to fill Romeo Doubs' role in 2026 Thu Aug 6, 12:08 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden is set to 'step cleanly' into the role that current New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs filled for the Packers last season, according to ESPN's Ben Solak, who notes that with Doubs and Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks gone, there are 131 targets that are available to be filled this year.
| Footballguys view: Golden came on late last year, and he has the speed, toughness, and ball skills to a quality downfield target to complement Christian Watson's speed and Jayden Reed's ability to get open from the slot and add yards after the catch. Golden could be a big play threat if he develops and the Packers offensive line gels, but don't let this item scare you off of Reed, who already has proven that he can be a solid WR3/Flex even if he's not always on the field in two wide receiver sets. |
Saints | Barion Brown shining in pads Wed Aug 5, 09:57 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Barion Brown has impressed in one-on-one drills, and head coach Kellen Moore believes Brown can be more than just a kick returner. 'We watched a lot of evidence of him playing receiver and playing impactful plays in the SEC for a number of years, not just the LSU year, but the Kentucky years,' Moore said. 'And when you watch all that exposure and get to know Barion, you're really fired up to have this guy.'
