Bears | Luther Burden 'looks 100%', plan on him for Week 1 Sun Aug 30, 02:49 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (groin) 'looks 100%' and to plan on him being available in Week 1, according to HC Ben Johnson on Saturday, Aug, 29.
| Footballguys view: Burden's ADP didn't fall much after he suffered a groin injury early in camp, and it looks like he won't even miss a game. There's still the reconditioning period and playing at game speed without suffering a re-injury hurdles to get over before Burden is in the clear, but if you already drafted Burden earlier this summer or have him on a dynasty roster, this is the best news you could have hoped for. If you haven't drafted yet, know that you'll have to take Burden in the fourth round if you want him, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him go in the third round of some drafts now. |
Pittsburgh Steelers OT Broderick Jones was traded to the Dallas Cowboys with a 2027 fourth-round pick in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 29. The Cowboys have also released WR Denzel Mims in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: The new regime in Pittsburgh had a chance to work with Jones - who did work hard to come back from a neck injury - and decided they would rather get their sixth round pick back from the George Pickens deal and add a bump from the fourth to third round next year. They have the luxury of doing this after UDFA Dylan Cook played well in place of Jones last year and then the team ended up taking a tackle (Max Ihenachor, who is already showing signs of development) in the first round after the Eagles moved ahead of them to snipe Makai Lemon. Jones is a former first round pick and the Cowboys will hope that he can function as their swing tackle while they coach him up to be a potential starter in the future. |

Link to storyBuffalo Bills WR Mecole Hardman was released Saturday, Aug. 29, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Hardman signed with the Bills last year in November, but he only caught one pass for four yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round loss to the Broncos. Signed to a reserve/futures contact earlier this year, Hardman failed to impress in training camp and the preseason. He gets a bit of a head start as rosters are being trimmed across the league, so perhaps some team will want Hardman for veteran depth. A return to the Chiefs for a third stint would not be a surprise. |

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (foot) sustained a bruised foot during the first quarter of the preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Sean Payton. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and did not return to action.
| Footballguys view: Mims is an explosive playmaker at the wide receiver position, and he's an All-Pro return man for the Broncos. He doesn't get much work on offense, even though Mims seems to make plays anytime the team relies on him. Mims is behind Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Pat Bryant on the depth chart. He's competing with Troy Franklin to round out the position behind the top three. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle) will not return to the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers after exiting with an ankle injury Friday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: Signed to a futures contract back in January, Smith-Marsette was always going to be hard-pressed to make this roster. He's buried on the depth chart at the wide receiver position, and the team may just cut ties with the veteran. Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round pick out of Iowa back in 2021, and he's bounced around to six different NFL teams since then. He's mostly been a special teams player in the NFL. |

New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. and WR Isaiah Williams are 'engaged in a battle' for the No. 3 receiver job, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Cooper, a 2026 first-round pick out of Indiana, is known as a slot bully because of his run-after-the-catch ability. He needs to learn how to run the full route tree, but the potential is there for Cooper to be a dangerous playmaker. Williams, undrafted out of Illinois in 2024, is a return man who can flip the field with quickness and speed. Cooper should win the job, but Williams is not letting it go without a fight. Dynasty GMs should be invested in Cooper for the long-term outlook. |

Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell caught seven of his 10 targets for 49 yards and added a 28-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Bell was hurt for most of camp, but he showed out in this game to give the Bills an idea of what he could contribute. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir are banged up right now, so Bell should be on our waiver wire watch list because he plays with Josh Allen. |
Baltimore Ravens WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to make the 53-man roster but may be inactive most weeks since he is not a big factor on special teams, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley.
