| Footballguys view: As if you needed another reason to take the Rams D/ST after they traded for Myles Garrett. Donald is getting $20 million to come back, so the Rams clearly believe they are getting more than a role player. |

Link to storyBaltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) still has not participated in team drills during training camp and could be a candidate to start the season on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: There was excitement about Madubuike potentially playing this year, but his return is not at hand yet. It has still been a great first camp for Jesse Minter's defense and we should consider them a top 10-12 unit. When Madubuike comes back, they could be even better. |

Link to storyArizona Cardinals DE Josh Sweat (knee) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: The return of Sweat answers the biggest question hanging over the Cardinals since training camp began. After notching a career-best 12 sacks last season, Sweat did not take part in any voluntary work and then was a surprise addition to the PUP list at the start of camp as he worked on his left knee. The knee has required maintenance since a serious injury when he was in college. The Cardinals, in desperate need of his impact in the pass rush, have three weeks to prepare for the season opener in Los Angeles on Sept. 13. |
