Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase says 'he's good' Tue Aug 25, 03:49 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase says 'he's good' following him leaving practice on Tuesday, Aug. 25, following a fall in practice.
| Footballguys view: Chase landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and limped off the field without assistance from the medical staff. Chase spoke to trainers, but never left the field. Chase said on 1530 ESPN that he felt he could have returned to practice, but the team "pulled me" out of caution. "A little hyperextension, but other than that I'm fine," Chase said. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the Bengals' caution could extend to limiting Chase's practice time in the coming days, but it does not sound like there's much reason to worry about his availability for the start of the regular season. |

Link to story Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase leaves practice Tue Aug 25, 03:01 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase left practice early on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with an apparent injury after landing awkwardly.
| Footballguys view: Video of Chase landing awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and then limping off the field was all over social media on Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately, further reports from the practice field diminished immediate fears. Chase did not go to the locker room after making his way off the field and did not appear to be in pain as he spoke to his teammates on the sideline. We're still tracking the situation, but it looks like the Bengals dodged a bullet with their top receiver. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. is 'all right' Tue Aug 25, 01:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. is 'all right' after suffering an apparent shoulder injury on Tuesday, Aug. 25, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Thomas hauled in a highlight-reel catch for a 40-yard gain, but came up grabbing his shoulder after the play. He was ultimately sidelined for the remainder of practice but ultimately avoided significant injury and isn't expected to miss much time ahead of the start of the regular season. While Parker Washington is the first Jaguars wideout off the board as WR30, Thomas appears to be on track for a rebound season, which is reflected in his WR33 ADP. |
Colts | WR Alec Pierce expected to return to practice this week Tue Aug 25, 11:27 AM
Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) is expected to return to practice this week if all goes to plan, according to coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Steichen noted that the team has not had conversations about keeping Pierce, who has been sidelined since undergoing offseason ankle surgery, on the physically unable to perform list to start the season, another sign that the team is planning on having him for early in the season -- if not Week 1 itself. Pierce, 26, signed a four-year, $114 million deal with the Colts in March to stick with the club. He's coming off his best season, having caught 47 passes for 1,003 yards with six touchdowns in 15 games in 2025. He's being drafted as WR40 in Round 8. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette done for the preseason Tue Aug 25, 01:10 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (ankle, foot) won't take part in joint practices with the Houston Texans on Wednesday, Aug. 26, and won't play in the team's final preseason game. Legette will continue wearing a walking boot through Thursday, Aug. 27, per head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: That boot made an appearance this past Friday, as Legette was sidelined for the Panthers' preseason tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. Legette is coming off a disappointing 2025, where he experienced dips across the board from his rookie campaign. The 2024 first-rounder amassed 35 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns. Carolina will begin their regular season against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 13. |
Eagles | Makai Lemon believes he'll be ready for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:09 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) believes he'll be ready to play in Week 1, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: Lemon returned to practice last week after an extended absence due to a hamstring injury, and the rookie is confident he'll have enough practice time to be at full speed for the season opener. Lemon dealt with a hamstring injury in the same leg during the offseason program, but said he isn't worried about further issues. The Eagles picked Lemon as part of their plans for life without A.J. Brown in 2026, so anything he can do to ensure he's on the field and playing at a high level over the next few weeks will be welcome in Philadelphia. |
Bills | Mecole Hardman on the bubble Tue Aug 25, 12:17 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Mecole Hardman is currently projected to make the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg, but she adds that the team could change course if they feel someone else, such as kick returner RB Ray Davis, can handle the punt return duties that currently belong to Hardman.

Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers making progress Mon Aug 24, 03:41 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was not wearing a no-contact jersey during practice Monday, Aug. 24. He was catching passes while running at 75 percent speed during practice.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Nabers has been taking part in team drills for a little more than one week, but he was wearing the red jersey until Monday's development. This doesn't mean he's been cleared for all activity, but he is now closing in on the final stages of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. All signs are pointing toward Nabers being available Week 1 against the Cowboys. He's a prime pick in Round 3 at his current WR12 ADP. |
Bills | Skyler Bell back on field Mon Aug 24, 03:24 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell (groin) participated in practice Monday, Aug. 24, after missing some time because of a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Bell has yet to play in a preseason game, missing both of the first two contests. He told reporters after practice that it was a groin injury he was dealing with, but felt "like a kid in a candy store" getting back on the field, especially because he said he had never missed that much time before playing football. The rookie has work to do after missing so much time. We'll see if he can gain ground in coming days. |

Texans | Houston acquiring Kayshon Boutte Mon Aug 24, 02:37 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is being acquired by the Houston Texans in exchange for S Jaylen Reed and an undisclosed draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Texans, who needed a replacement for the injured Jayden Higgins, found an ideal option. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Boutte was the odd man out of the Patriots' revamped receiving corps. A sixth-round pick in 2023, Boutte caught 33 passes for 551 yards with six touchdowns in 14 regular-season games last year. He also had nine catches for 168 yards with a touchdown in four postseason contests. Viewing him in the same range as Higgins -- or another player joining a new team, Stefon Diggs in Washington -- is a starting point for fantasy investors. |

Browns | Isaiah Bond in protocol Mon Aug 24, 02:23 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond (head) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 24, because he is going through the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: The Browns initially announced that Bond was being evaluated for a concussion after he exited during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Bills. He was cleared to return in the third quarter but did not re-enter the game, with many of Cleveland's key players already finished for the day. Bond's absence Monday indicates that he developed symptoms after passing the in-game evaluation. He will now have to complete the league's concussion protocol before returning to practice. |
Rams | Puka Nacua remains not practicing Mon Aug 24, 02:11 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is working on a side during practice Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: The Athletic's Nate Atkins reported Monday that both Nacua and Myles Garrett are still sidelined by their injuries. Fortunately, there is a lot of time before the season opener, but they've now each missed the last two weeks. Both are set to do side work as they continue to rehab from injury. Both players missed last week's joint practice, but the Rams have continued to state that their absence is precautionary. We'll continue watching for more. |

Giants | Malik Nabers to shed non-contact jersey soon? Sun Aug 23, 04:16 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) might shed his non-contact jersey sometime this week, head coach John Harbaugh said Sunday, Aug. 23.
| Footballguys view: Everything is proceeding at a pace to expect Nabers to be full go for Week 1 against the Cowboys. His ADP may go up a few spots when he is officially cleared for contact. |

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling wearing non-contact jersey Sun Aug 23, 02:09 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) was able to return to practice Sunday, Aug. 23, although he was donning a non-contact jersey. He was forced to miss practice Saturday as a result of the ailment.
| Footballguys view: This shouldn't slow down his rise up the fantasy draft board, but it could become a problem if it recurs during the season. The 49ers will give him a lot of targets to harness his speed after the catch, so he'll get the fitness of that injured shoulder tested once the season starts. |
Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers unable to practice Sunday Sun Aug 23, 01:40 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hand) did not practice Sunday, Aug. 23. He has been dealing with a jammed thumb, and he has been wearing a brace on his right hand. Meyers reportedly wants to see some action in a preseason game before the regular season starts, however.
| Footballguys view: If you needed any more confirmation that Parker Washington would be at the top of the Jaguars target pecking order to begin the season, here you go. He is still undervalued in the sixth round of PPR drafts. |

Dolphins | Chris Bell not in uniform today Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was cleared for practice earlier in the week, but after taking part in pregame warmups in uniform, he is not in uniform for the game, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: We shouldn't expect Bell to be a contributor right away, but now that he has been activated from the NFI list, he should start the season on the active roster. Fellow third round pick Caleb Douglas should get a chance to be the primary deep threat while Bell is rounding into form. Bell should be ready to play at some point in the first month of the season, which is good news for quarterback Malik Willis in his first season as the Dolphins starting quarterback. |

| Footballguys view: Slayton has worked his way back from the core muscle surgery that kept him out of action in the spring. He might just be getting some extra (needed) reps to knock off some of the rust. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (tightness) was reportedly back at practice after leaving Tuesday's session with tightness, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Maiocco said on the Rich Eisen Show that Evans' absence was just "very much precautionary" and "not a strain or pulled muscle." It's good that the veteran is back out there on Saturday. Evans has a current ADP of WR29 (6.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

49ers | Two SF players banged up on Saturday Sat Aug 22, 05:08 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder) are both day-to-day with their injuries, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Stribling left Thursday's preseason game against the Chargers with this shoulder issue. Just this week, The Athletic's Matt Barrows suggested Stribling is "going to have a major role" in Week 1 against the Rams. If healthy, Stribling could perform like a flex play or WR3 with upside. Let's see if the rookie can get healthy and get back out there to practice soon. |
