Texans | Graham Mertz feared to have torn ACL Fri Aug 14, 09:21 AM
Houston Texans QB Graham Mertz will have an MRI Friday, Aug. 14. The team fears he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 13.

Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza completed 10 of his 16 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, Aug. 13. He also ran twice for six yards.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza looked sharp and in sync with the play design and defensive reactions. It's easy to feel excited about Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty in a Klint Kubiak offense after watching Mendoza in live game action. Kirk Cousins is still the starter as of now, but Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell both earned first team snaps in practice going forward. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew completed 14 of 16 passes for 101 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the team's 27-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 13.

Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson completed 11 of 14 passes for 145 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception against the New England Patriots on Thursday, Aug. 13. He added 53 yards and a touchdown on six carries but lost a fumble.
| Footballguys view: This is still better than many expected after the not so encouraging reports out of training camp. Richardson isn't a complete lost cause yet, but he has to build on this performance to beat out Riley Leonard and back up Daniel Jones this year. He could also be dealt - if there is even any interest in him around the league. |

Free-agent CB Terrion Arnold (Lions) plans to sign with the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: As Schefter reports, the NFL must decide whether or not to put Arnold on the Commissioner's Exempt List. He was arrested in February in relation to a robbery and kidnapping (and there are eight felony charges pending). A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Arnold gives the Seahawks another playmaker in the secondary, if/when cleared to play. |
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas is listed as one of the starting wide receivers on the team's first unofficial depth chart because he has been consistent during training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Late in July, Cameron Wolfe from NFL Network suggested that Douglas might be a starter this year. It's a great sign that he's listed as one of the starters on the initial depth chart. We'll likely see the Dolphins go run-heavy on offense with Malik Willis at quarterback. However, if Douglas can be a favorite target - and maybe even a security blanket for Willis - there could be more fantasy value there than some think. |
New York Giants WR Jalin Hyatt (leg) will not play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, because of his injury.

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker has been open regularly during training camp and has been catching passes consistently during practices, according to ESPN.com's Mike Kaye.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs know that Coker can ball. His current ADP (WR55, 14.02) seems low for what his potential and upside could be in the Panthers offense. We love taking him late in drafts and stashing for at least some flex-worthy matchups. |
Jacksonville Jaguars OT Walker Little (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for at least one more week because of an ankle injury.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has been a standout performer during training camp and may be earning a meaningful role in the passing game, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden.
| Footballguys view: Benson has been getting first-team reps in camp, and he's impressed. We'll see how things shake out on the Raiders' depth chart at the wide receiver position. At this time, Tre Tucker (WR58) and Jalen Nailor (WR59) are the highest-drafted Raiders receivers in recent mock drafts. A big preseason for Benson could change that. |
Baltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) may be more involved in practice over the upcoming weeks, according to head coach Jesse Minter. Madubuike has been mostly working on the side during practices.
