Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa uncertain about return date Fri Jul 31, 04:05 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) has been limited to individual drills because of back tightness and said he is not sure when he will be able to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa said he hasn't dealt with this back issue before. Michael Penix said he could be four weeks away from being fully back from his 2025 ACL surgery, so the team has UDFA Jack Strand from Minnesota State-Mankato taking snaps with the team. They also signed Cooper Rush earlier this year. Not exactly how Kevin Stefanski wanted things to be going at the open of his first camp as Falcons head coach. |

Giants | Malik Nabers had a scheduled day off Fri Jul 31, 03:30 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers did not practice on Friday, July 31. The team had planned it as a day off as they work him back from his season-ending knee injury he suffered last season.
| Footballguys view: This is just a reminder that while Nabers avoided the PUP list, he's not 100% and we can't sound the all clear signal yet on worries about his injury recovery affecting his value early in the season. |
Panthers | Chris Brazzell II officially placed on IR Fri Jul 31, 02:59 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, July 31. He will miss the entire 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: There was an initial report that Brazzell would only miss eight weeks, but the team opted for season-ending surgery instead. 2024 first round pick Xavier Legette will be among the candidates for the #3 role that Brazzell had staked a claim to early in his first NFL training camp. John Metchie, Jimmy Horn Jr, Brycen Tremayne, and David Moore are other options the team will evaluate before they make any big move to replace Brazzell's expected impact. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins could be a three down back Fri Jul 31, 02:04 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins could play 'all three downs' in 2026, according to running back coach Duce Staley.
| Footballguys view: Staley has been challenging Judkins to get to a new level this year, and it sounds like Judkins is responding. When the Browns traded Myles Garrett, the chances of Judkins getting some positive game scripts for the running game went down, but if he is on the field in passing situations, he could still be a hit at a modest price of a pick around #50. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue sought as receiver Fri Jul 31, 11:49 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard,' Schottenheimer said.
| Footballguys view: Blue has carried over his excellent spring and should be able to parlay that into a dedicated offensive role as a true change of pace to Javonte Williams and dangerous speed threat in space. He would share work with Phil Mafah or Malik Davis on early downs if Williams goes down, but if he pops in his limited work, he would be the more valuable back to roster if Williams goes down. Blue is moving into the draftable in the late round range of typical drafts. |
Dolphins | Jordyn Brooks terms Fri Jul 31, 11:21 AM
Updating previous reports, Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks received a three-year, $48 million base extension. He's fully guaranteed $26.5 million with $2.5 million more in March 2027. He can earn $825,000 in annual incentives.

Packers | Tucker Kraft ready to go Fri Jul 31, 11:01 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 31, and will practice.
| Footballguys view: Kraft's stay on the PUP was short. He does not rely on explosive movements as a route runner or otherwise need to be at true full speed to harvest most of the fantasy value he can create. Kraft also has a warrior mentality on the field, so he should have no problem with the psychological side of returning from a serious injury. He was the #1 tight end in PPR leagues when he went down, so Kraft could end up being a great value going off of the board as TE5 in the seventh round in the latest Footballguys Consensus ADP. |

Saints | Four-year extension for Chris Olave Thu Jul 30, 05:05 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million.
| Footballguys view: Olave now ranks no.6 in the NFL (tied with DK Metcalf) for an AAV of $33 million, and the contract includes $90 million in guaranteed money. He had been held out of team drills early in camp because of this contract situation, and the Saints got it done. Expect Olave to post borderline WR1 numbers this year. He's got a current ADP of WR13 (3.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

| Footballguys view: He has been participating in individual drills during training camp. Reports indicate Nabers has been running routes for weeks, so there's a chance he's ready to play against the Cowboys in Week 1. Coming off a major injury, Fantasy GMs will continue to watch his status through camp. |

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza fine with situation Thu Jul 30, 04:21 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza said he is fine being the second quarterback behind QB Kirk Cousins and is more focused on improving his play each day.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza is unlikely to start in Week 1. We should see Cousins as the starter for the Raiders to begin the 2026 season. However, at some point this year the no.1 overall pick should see the field. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will miss the entire 2026 season if he needs to undergo surgery on his injured knee, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.
| Footballguys view: This is the same PCL injury that bothered him last year. Pearsall was recovering this offseason, but getting him fully healthy may not be in the cards this season. Maiocco is a veteran reporter who is not prone for hyperbole, so this news item is certainly one to watch. We'll see if Pearsall has to undergo surgery to correct the issue. |

Saints | Taysom Hill will not be returning Thu Jul 30, 02:14 PM
Free-agent TE Taysom Hill (Saints) is still deciding if he will continue his playing career but indicated he will not be re-signing with the New Orleans Saints if he plays in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Hill spent nine years with the Saints as a TE/QB/Swiss Army knife player. He may not have many suitors based on his age and declining skill set. However, Broncos HC Sean Payton used Hill in a variety of ways. Hill turns 36 in August, but he could be a versatile reserve tight end and quarterback for the Broncos. Stay tuned. |
