Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he enjoyed that hard hits he took during the joint practice Wednesday, Aug. 26. 'I needed some contact like that to wake up the nervous system and get ready for Week 1,' Kraft said.
| Footballguys view: Kraft is coming back from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short, and taking that contact is just part of the process. He's admitted the team is likely to use him on a snap count for perhaps the first half of the regular season. Keep Kraft on your waiver wire speed dial as he can be a TE1 for Fantasy GMs when he's up to full speed. |

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) will participate in the joint practice Wednesday, Aug. 26.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Packers here. Kraft is going to get eased back into action, beginning with joint practice participation. Earlier this offseason, Kraft said the team will "probably" keep him on a snap count until halfway through the 2026 season. This means Fantasy GMs may have to wait for him as an option. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial as he can post TE1 numbers when healthy. |

Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller will likely be held out of the team's preseason game against the Houston Texans on Friday, Aug. 28. He is expected to take part in some team drills during the joint practice session, however.
| Footballguys view: Waller officially signed with the Panthers last Monday. The 33-year-old would not end up taking part in the joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday nor the ensuing preseason contest on Friday. As for this week, when the Houston Texans come to town, Canales says he expects almost the same for the former Pro Bowl pass catcher. Canales also stated that Waller is not expected to suit up for the preseason finale at Bank of America Stadium on Friday. |

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) is on track to be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq, the 16th overall pick in the 2026 Draft, underwent hernia surgery in the spring and then suffered a setback that has limited him to side work throughout training camp and the preseason. As CBSSports.com noted, Mason Taylor has been a standout with the first-team offense and is expected to open the season as the clear TE1 for the Jets. But that doesn't make Taylor -- or Sadiq -- fantasy relevant. Consider them waiver-wire watchlist players. |
Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich is a 'candidate to lead the team in targets,' in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
| Footballguys view: The 26-year-old is slated to handle TE1 duties for the Dolphins this season after he caught 26 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown over the final nine games last regular season. As CBSSports.com suggested, a catch-first athlete at the position, there's a world in which Dulcich paces this offense in receiving in 2026 due to the lack of proven playmaking at the wide receiver position. |

Link to storyNew York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) left practice Monday, Aug. 24, early after suffering an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: Johnson went down while blocking, prompting trainers to rush onto the field. According to local reports, Johnson walked off, slammed his helmet into the grass, ripped off his gloves, pulled his hood up, and headed briskly toward the locker room alone, appearing frustrated. Isaiah Likely has been the fantasy-relevant TE in New York all along, but we'll continue to watch for more on Johnson and report back as developments warrant. |
