According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, the Giants have been targeting a Week 1 return for Malik Nabers.
| Footballguys view: We finally got some concrete news on Nabers' status when we learned the star wideout won't be on the physically unable to perform list when training camp opens Wednesday. By keeping Nabers off the list, the Giants can integrate him into practice as he progresses. He will have a reduced workload early in camp, but the team will have the freedom to determine his participation on a day-to-day basis. Even if Nabers isn't ready for the opener, the Giants can evaluate him weekly rather than locking in a four-game absence. |

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard says the plan is to keep QB Daniel Jones, QB Riley Leonard, and QB Anthony Richardson 'as of now.'
| Footballguys view: That despite the fact that Richardson's trade request, made earlier this year, remains in place. "It is. I think they're realistic and we're realistic," GM Chris Ballard said. "We're not just giving him away, not going to do that." As Profootballtalk.com points out, Ballard's comments suggest the Colts' commitment to keeping all three quarterbacks could shift if another team makes an aggressive play for the 2023 first-round pick. The absence of such a play this offseason may mean that it will take an injury elsewhere in the league for someone to offer the Colts anything that would change their mind. |

Green Bay Packers K Lucas Havrisik was waived by the team on Tuesday, July 28.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons is expected to miss 'the first month and a half of the season,' according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.
| Footballguys view: Schneidman believes Parsons ' return in Week 6 is the best-case scenario. Nine months of no football gives him a practice return of Week 4 prep and a couple of weeks to ramp up. "Never doubt a guy with his physical gifts," Schneidman said, "but we also don't know how the rest of his rehab will go." Stay tuned. |

Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy will both get first-team reps as they compete for the starting job in training camp, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: In announcing the plan for the two QBs to share reps, HC Kevin O'Connell told reporters the Vikings are looking to see who can elevate those around them and run the offense with comfort. The shared snaps were expected. Murray still seems like the favorite, but McCarthy reportedly closed the gap in the team's final mini-camp. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Minnesota Vikings OT Brian O'Neill signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the team on Tuesday, July 28.
Link to storyThe Athletic's Matt Schneidman, appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, reported: "Tucker Kraft told us that he expects to play in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings."
| Footballguys view: Although he opened camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Kraft has been targeting a Week 1 return from the torn ACL he suffered last season. We'll continue to monitor that. Kraft can be activated from the PUP list at any time. In addition to being ready to play, Schneidman told viewers he wouldn't be surprised if Kraft becomes the "highest paid tight end in the league in the next couple of weeks." |

Philadelphia Eagles DL Jalen Carter signed a four-year, $152 million extension worth up to $160 million, including $106 million guaranteed, on Tuesday, July 29.

Carolina Panthers TE Mitchell Evans was carted off the field at practice on Tuesday, July 28. It appeared as a lower-body injury with no details shared at the time of reporting.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (knee) is a week or two away from practicing, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Pierce, who underwent offseason ankle surgery, was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday. He can come off the list at any time. Remember, the Colts re-signed Pierce this offseason and paid him to be their WR1. It would be great to see him get some work in that role before the season starts. If he's healthy, that role and his WR36 ADP would offer a substantial potential reward for the risk. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team haven't made significant progress on a contract extension as his self-imposed deadline nears Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield, who is set to report to training camp on Tuesday without a new contract, has publicly stated that he does not want to continue negotiations past the start of camp. After signing a three-year, $100 million deal during the 2024 offseason, there's one year left on his current contract. It was recently reported that Mayfield would be willing to play under the franchise tag in 2027, which would be a one-year deal worth $47.97 million. But that, of course, depends on the Buccaneers electing to tag him. We'll continue to monitor, but there's no immediate fantasy impact. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers confirmed Tuesday, July 28, this is his final season.
| Footballguys view: It's not the first time Rodgers has laid out his plan. The four-time MVP will turn 43 during the season. While he has more experience leading the Steelers to the postseason than any other quarterback on the roster, Rodgers isn't getting any younger from here. While anybody can have a change of heart, Dynasty managers should take him at his word and plan accordingly. |

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been fully cleared for training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Achane is expected to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season, and the expectation was that he would be ready for training camp. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health. Achane has been a high-end producer since his rookie season, but with the Dolphins starting a rebuild, 2026 will be the biggest challenge of his career. The uncertainty due to the changing circumstances has Achane falling into Round 2. |

Carolina Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (toe) was activated from the non-football injury list Tuesday, July 28. He suffered a cut on his toe while running that required stitches and has been running on the side during practices.
| Footballguys view: Horn landed on the list as camp opened last week due to a cut on his foot. He worked on side fields while the rest of the Panthers practiced last week, and Tuesday's move clears him for a full slate of activities. Tuesday's practice will be the first fully padded one of the summer for the defending NFC South champions. Four Panthers remain on the team's injury lists, and offensive tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton are expected to remain out into the regular season. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is reportedly making the most of the opportunity before him and has impressed in the early days of training camp, in the opinion of The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: According to Condotta, what has stood out the most is Price's pass-catching and apparent knack for understanding pass protection. Those were two things he wasn't asked to do a lot at Notre Dame. Those were cited as concerns by many analysts when the Seahawks selected him 32nd overall. Head coach Mike Macdonald suggested that Price has a chance to become an immediate starter with Ken Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet still sidelined while recovering from an ACL injury suffered in January. Contributing to the passing game would open the door to that. |
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner (undisclosed) is 'feeling really good' after two offseason surgeries in the spring, according to a source on Monday, July 27. Barner avoided the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and will likely have his reps in training camp managed.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggested, Barner's availability to open camp is a positive early sign after he missed offseason workouts due to a pair of undisclosed surgeries. The 2024 fourth-rounder is looking to defend his role as the Seahawks' clear top tight end in a room that also includes second-year option Elijah Arroyo. Barner started all 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 52 catches (on 68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns. |
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh will be waived by the Seahawks, according to a source on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: The 2023 seventh-round pick began training camp on PUP while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last summer. HC Mike Macdonald recently said McIntosh would return this season, but he left the impression it wouldn't be soon. |

Green Bay Packers RB Chris Brooks (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: The NFI list is for players who are injured away from team activities. Brooks was likely injured at some point outside the team's offseason workout program, reported among the team's injured players on Monday and failed his physical. Unless he can come off the NFI list before Wednesday morning, Brooks will miss the team's first training camp practice. Brooks signed a two-year deal to return to the Packers this offseason. A versatile running back who can catch and block, Brooks is likely to be a top backup behind Josh Jacobs in 2026. |
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea has requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after talks on a contract extension have stalled, his agent, Collin Roberts, told ESPN on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Vea, 31, is entering the final year of a four-year, $71 million contract. He is set to earn $17 million this season, but none of it is guaranteed. He also is set to earn a per-game roster bonus that is capped at $1 million total. Last season, Vea appeared in all 17 games, finishing with 4.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits and 34 tackles. He has 35 sacks in eight seasons since the Buccaneers selected him with the 12th pick in the 2018 NFL draft. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2024. |
Free-agent LB Jamal Adams (Raiders) will reportedly sign with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: At one point, Adams, selected by the Jets with the sixth pick of the 2017 draft, was one of the best safeties in the league. In his three seasons (46 games) in New York, Adams made two Pro Bowl appearances and was named first-team All-Pro in 2019. He added another Pro Bowl appearance as a Seahawk in 2020. Adams played in five games with the Titans and Lions in 2024. He appeared in 17 games last season with the Raiders. In 102 career games (87 starts), Adams, 30, has recorded 546 tackles, 22.5 sacks, four interceptions, and 36 pass deflections. |

Link to storyMinnesota Vikings WR Luke Wysong (undisclosed) was waived Monday, July 27, with an injury designation.
Link to storyThe Colts placed WR Alec Pierce on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: The move was expected after Pierce underwent off-season ankle surgery. While some reports have suggested the wideout could miss time, Pierce and the Colts have remained optimistic. Players placed on PUP can be removed at any point during the preseason prior to the Aug. 30 roster cut-down. If a player remains on PUP after the cut to 53, they transfer to Reserve/PUP and will miss at least the first four games of the season. We'll be watching for more on Pierce, who was paid to serve as the team's WR1 earlier this year. |
Undrafted free-agent TE Tyler Moore (Iowa State) agreed to terms with the New York Giants Monday, July 27. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyAccording to the NFL transaction wire, the Packers placed TE Tucker Kraft on the Physically Unable to Perform list as training camp opens.
| Footballguys view: Kraft, who is coming off a torn ACL, has stated that his goal is to come back "bulletproof" and stronger than ever. He's aiming for a Week 1 return with no limitations, despite starting on the PUP list. Kraft can be activated at any time during camp. |

Free-agent WR Zay Jones (Cardinals) met with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, Jones played in 27 regular-season and playoff games for the team over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He had 116 catches for 1,144 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season and 13 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown in two postseason outings. Jones spent the last two seasons with the Cardinals and caught 20 passes for 267 yards. Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Travis Hunter, and Parker Washington head up the receiving corps in Jacksonville. |

A May 2026 arrest of Packers running back Josh Jacobs following a domestic disturbance resulted in no charges being filed. But Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports the Brown County District Attorney's Office said via email on July 23 that the investigation is "still open" and that "there will be an update provided once a resolution is reached."
| Footballguys view: Jacobs remains available to practice and to play. As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, the possibility of paid leave would arise if he's formally charged with one or more crimes relating to domestic violence, or if the league determines, based on its own investigation, that paid leave is required. For now, it appears that there will be no information until he's charged. Even if he isn't charged, Jacobs could be subject to discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy. We'll continue to monitor while reminding you that MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks are next men up at the position. |

49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling joined the 49ers with the top pick of the second round, and the selection drew some negative reviews because of who else was available at that point in the draft. Stribling can't do anything to change the initial response, but the long-term opinion of the choice will be shaped by what the receiver does now, and quarterback Brock Purdy thinks Stribling is going to make an impact. "Dude is a baller, and I mean that," Purdy said.
| Footballguys view: The QB continued: "It's hard to say that for a rookie, right off the jump, but just seeing him run routes, going up against defenders in OTAs and then in camp yesterday. He's a great route runner. He's smart. He's learned the playbook really quick, which is awesome. And then, on top of that, you can see his strength, too." The 49ers also signed Mike Evans and Christian Kirk to go with Ricky Pearsall, so there's a lot to sort out when it comes to doling out playing time for the regular season. The three veteran wideouts have had injury issues, however, and that could make the rookie an important piece of the puzzle right away. |
