Bills | Keon Coleman has a sprained toe/foot Tue Aug 18, 01:16 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman has been diagnosed with a sprained foot/toe suffered in the preseason opener, a source told NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: Coleman, who was seen in a walking boot today, will miss practice time, but head coach Joe Brady indicated he didn't have much concern. It's been a strong spring/summer for Coleman, who scored a TD Saturday. While he's clearly in a better spot than he's been in past seasons, Coleman has a way to go before being considered draft-worthy in most leagues. |

Giants | Najee Harris agrees to one-year deal with New York Tue Aug 18, 01:05 PM
Najee Harris has agreed to a one-year deal with New York, according to NFL Network. Harris took a visit with the club on Monday.
| Footballguys view: On Monday, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Harris looked good in his workout -- but with some caveats. "You know, he's not back 100 percent," Harbaugh said. "He's not in football shape yet. So, if we are able to do something, it'll be a process." Harris suffered a torn Achilles while playing for the Chargers last season. Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary sit atop the depth chart in New York. We'll see if Harris can change any of that. |

Jets | Breece Hall to miss 2-3 weeks; expected to be ready Week 1 Tue Aug 18, 11:23 AM
New York Jets starting running back Breece Hall is expected to miss two-to-three weeks with a groin strain, head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday. Hall strained his right groin in practice Monday but is expected to be "ready for the regular season," Glenn said.
| Footballguys view: Hall went down on the grass field without being touched. According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the Jets will be ultra-cautious with Hall, who has missed only two games over the previous three seasons. As a rookie in 2022, he tore an ACL and missed the final 10 games. Braelon Allen is Hall's backup. Isaiah Davis, their No. 3 back, has been sidelined by a minor knee injury. He's expected to miss at least another week. The Jets open the season in 27 days against the Tennessee Titans. |
Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton exits Tue Aug 18, 10:54 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton (undisclosed) left practice Tuesday, Aug. 18, on the front of the cart.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Thornton has been firmly in the mix for a top-three spot on the Chiefs' receiver depth chart throughout the offseason. If Thornton is to miss time, rookie Cyrus Allen would have an increased opportunity to make an impression on the coaching staff. We'll continue to watch for more. |
Packers | Josh Jacobs back at practice Tue Aug 18, 10:48 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will return to practice Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs had been sidelined by a groin injury, and the expectation was he would return to work this week. Last season, Jacobs rushed for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. he also caught 36 passes for 282 yards with a TD. Jacobs is being drafted as RB17 at the end of Round 3. It's a fair price if the veteran back is working at full speed in advance of Week 1. |

Bills | Keon Coleman in a boot Tue Aug 18, 10:44 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman (foot) is in a walking boot Tuesday, Aug. 18, after suffering a lower-body injury over the weekend.
| Footballguys view: Coleman played in the Bills' preseason opener, catching three passes on four targets for 17 yards. While he got banged up during the game, head coach Joe Brady said that he expected the receiver to be fine. Several receivers aren't practicing on Tuesday, with Khalil Shakir also sidelined. But DJ Moore is participating in the session. We'll monitor Coleman and Shakir and report back as needed. |
Broncos | Levelle Bailey suffered serious leg injury Tue Aug 18, 01:10 AM
Updating previous reports, Denver Broncos LB Levelle Bailey (leg) sustained a fractured leg during the team's preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. It's unclear if Bailey will be able to return this season.
Link to story Broncos | Jonah Coleman continues to shine Tue Aug 18, 12:54 AM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman has been 'work[ing] his way up the depth chart' and could have a role in the regular season, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold, who adds that Coleman continues to get reps with the first- and second-team offenses.
| Footballguys view: Coleman played 12 snaps Friday night in Atlanta and had four carries for 24 yards, with his last carry coming with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. HC Sean Payton said he's seen enough from Coleman on the practice field to get the rookie out of the preseason opener that early. "I didn't need additional evidence of what I've been seeing for three weeks," Payton said. We'll be watching for more signs that Coleman is a viable candidate for a contributing role. |
Chargers | Keenan Allen signs with Indianapolis Tue Aug 18, 12:27 AM
Via Jordan Schultz, Keenan Allen has agreed to terms with the Colts. It's reportedly a one-year deal worth up to $8.32 million.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick in 2013, Allen has played for the Chargers for 11 years, the Bears for one year, and the Chargers again in 2025. He has 1,055 career regular-season catches for 12,051 yards and 70 touchdowns. He joins a depth chart that includes Alec Pierce (who remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list with an ankle injury), Josh Downs, Ashton Dulin, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Anthony Gould, and Laquon Treadwell. Allen's time with the Chargers overlapped with Colts coach Shane Steichen, who worked in various roles with the Chargers from 2014 through 2020. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson likely to miss extended time Tue Aug 18, 12:26 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for around two months because of a hamstring injury. He could be a candidate for the short-term Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: The Saints will be able to designate him as eligible to return if they wait to put him on the reserve list until the cut to 53 players later this month. If he does go on injured reserve, he will have to miss at least four games before returning to action. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, it's a big blow to a Saints offense that was hoping to pair Tyson with Chris Olave to give quarterback Tyler Shough a pair of dangerous receiving threats in his first full season as a starter. |
Bears | Kyle Monangai to miss a few weeks Tue Aug 18, 12:25 AM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks because of a hyperextended knee, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Monangai is slated to work behind De'Andre Swift for a second-straight year. Monangai ran for 783 yards and five touchdowns on 169 carries in that role as a rookie. He also caught 18 passes for 164 yards. In the postseason, he added 21 carries for 63 yards and five catches for 58 yards. We'll continue to watch for more. |
Rams | Puka Nacua expected back next week Tue Aug 18, 12:24 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is dealing with soreness but is expected to return to practice next week, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Nacua left Los Angeles' joint practice against the Cowboys last Tuesday after experiencing discomfort. Last Thursday, McVay described the issue as "a little soreness" in Nacua's psoas, a muscle connecting the lower spine to the thigh bone. At the time, McVay said he anticipated Nacua returning the following week. Considering what Nacua means to the Rams' offense, Los Angeles has little reason to push him during the preseason, but we'll see if he returns to work next week. |

Commanders | Jake Moody released on Monday Tue Aug 18, 12:19 AM
Washington Commanders PK Jake Moody was released by Commanders, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 17. PK Drew Stevens has won the kicking job for the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Moody had struggled with his consistency in training camp and booted a 29-yard attempt off the right upright that fell over the crossbar in Friday's 20-7 preseason win over Miami. Meanwhile, rookie Drew Stevens has been more consistent. Three of his five misses in training camp occurred in one day, and he made a 41-yarder down the middle vs. the Dolphins. Stevens was considered to have the stronger leg. He made eight of 13 field goal attempts from beyond 50 yards in his last two seasons at Iowa. Now he's set to open the season with sole possession of the job. |

| Footballguys view: Coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Hall's injury during his news conference, calling it a strain and not a big deal. Hall did undergo an MRI after leaving practice early on Monday. He played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, totaling four carries for 16 yards. In 2025, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns last season and added 36 catches for 350 yards with one touchdown. He's currently being drafted as RB14 in Round 3. |

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is making more strides in his return from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season. Nabers took part in full-speed team drills for the first time at training camp on Monday.
| Footballguys view: According to PFT's Josh Alper, Nabers wore a red non-contact jersey and had his reps managed in both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods of the practice. Still, it was one more step toward being in the lineup without any restrictions when the Giants face the Cowboys in the first week of the regular season. Nabers didn't make any guarantees about playing in the opener, but obstacles to him doing so are getting harder to find, and it's starting to feel like a pretty safe bet that No. 1 will be on the field in Week 1. |
