Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (hip) has missed practice on Wednesday, Aug. 19, but the team feels good about his health longterm, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: They can feel good about his health, but there's still no word on whether LaPorta will be ready for Week 1. He could be ready, but Campbell says he's not sure. That's not exactly the ringing endorsement Fantasy GMs want to hear with fantasy football drafts going hot and heavy this month. As they say in Mad Men, "not great Bob" as LaPorta is coming off a back surgery that cut his 2025 season short and now has a preseason injury. His current ADP is TE10 (8.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Colts | Tyler Warren suffers adductor strain Thu Aug 20, 11:37 AM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren suffered an adductor strain during practice today, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 19. In the words of a source, he 'is going to be fine' and is not expected to miss much time, if any, and should be back next week.
| Footballguys view: Colts HC Shane Steichen confirmed Warren suffered a groin injury on Wednesday. They are going to be wisely cautious with the injury that is not seen as serious. We'll see Warren's status for the rest of the preseason, but we're not expecting to see him on Saturday against the Falcons. |
Commanders | Rachaad White suffers hamstring injury Thu Aug 20, 11:37 AM
Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during the Commanders' joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: White will likely miss this Saturday's preseason game with the Detroit Lions, but the injury is not considered a long-term issues. Reports indicate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is flashing enough as a pass catcher this offseason to position himself for the largest role in the backfield. The group is a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, but Croskey-Merritt is the highest-drafted of the group (RB40). The Commanders' backfield is battling a few injuries right now with White (hamstring), Jeremy McNichols (quad), and Jerome Ford (hamstring) all banged up. |

Eagles | Makai Lemon returns Thu Aug 20, 10:31 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see the first-round pick out there for the Eagles. He's missed most of the offseason and training camp with this hamstring problem. Earlier reports suggested the team would be committed to getting Lemon the ball in a number of ways. Lemon has a current ADP of WR57 (10.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. We'll see if he can stay healthy and get ramped up before Week 1. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, taking part in a joint session with the Los Angeles Chargers.
| Footballguys view: This gives Black an edge over Jordan James because James is still sidelined with a rib injury. Christian McCaffrey has been missing practice with soreness, which could include his feeling about his contract after seeing Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson's new deals. Black was impressive early in camp and should be back on your late round target list. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan returns to practice Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (leg) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, but HC Todd Bowles did say McMillan won't play in Saturday's preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: McMillan has some extra injury upside now that Emeka Egbuka has been diagnosed with a toe sprain. Hopefully McMillan can stay on the field and Egbuka will be full go for Week 1. McMillan's ADP is down in the 150s, which seems cheap for a third year receiver who is in a productive offense and has already shown that he can hang on Sundays. |

49ers | Mike Evans comes out of practice on Tuesday Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (left quad tightness) came out of practice on Tuesday. He was icing his quad and watched the remainder practice, according to HC Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Shanahan called it tightness and didn't indicate concern or any worry of a serious injury. This could have been precautionary, but Evans hasn't been durable in recent seasons and it's already his second injury issue of the summer. You can get Evans in the mid-late fifth round, so the possible reward that comes with being the #1 target in San Francisco balanced out that known and apparent injury risk. |
