Vikings | Christian Darrisaw feeling strong Fri Jul 31, 05:28 PM
Minnesota Vikings OT Christian Darrisaw (knee) said he finally feels like himself after his 2024 knee injury. 'Feel the best I've felt in two years,' Darrisaw said.
| Footballguys view: If there is going to be a redemption story written by the Vikings offense this year, it is more likely to come through better offensive line injury luck than last year, when the team had three starters - including Darrisaw - miss significant time. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier has been 'has been getting the majority of the carries' with the starters through the first eight days of training camp, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals have been expected to do this even though they spent the #3 overall pick on Jeremiyah Love. It's going to be tough for Love to pay off at ADP unless he is the team's leading passcatcher, which would be a problem for Trey McBride among others. |
Washington Commanders TE Ben Sinnott said he is excited with how the tight ends are being used in the offense this year. 'We're just doing everything,' Sinnott said. 'It's so much fun. It's a breath of fresh air for this offense and how it uses tight ends.'
| Footballguys view: The 2024 second round pick has been considered a bust to this point in his career, but he should get on the field more in two tight end sets as the Commanders have Jayden Daniels line up under center to set up the running game better this year. Keep tabs on Sinnott in deep tight end premium dynasty leagues. |
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray took a 'hefty amount of snaps' with the first-team offense Thursday, July 30.
| Footballguys view: Most observers said that JJ McCarthy was more comfortable than Murray, but that is to be expected at the open of camp with Murray in a new offense. If that is still the case two weeks from now, or McCarthy starts to get a larger role of the first team reps, then we might have to change our outlook that installs Murray as the favorite to win here. |

Free agent WR Deebo Samuel is signing back with the 49ers. The former Commanders and San Francisco pass-catcher returns where it all began on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million.
| Footballguys view: With Ricky Pearsall's status murky with a PCL injury dating back to last season and Christian Kirk missing time with a calf injury, a reunion makes sense. As 49ers Webzone's David Bonilla suggested, Samuel wouldn't represent a long-term solution at wide receiver, but the 49ers still believe they're in a championship window. Adding an experienced, proven playmaker is the right move. |

Link to storyIndianapolis Colts LB C.J. Allen (calf) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 31.
| Footballguys view: Thankfully for the Colts defense, Allen's stay on the PUP list was not long. The second round pick is slated to be the "green dot" linebacker, and could have another rookie (fourth round pick Bryce Boettcher) starting next to him. |
Detroit Lions DT Alim McNeill (neck) and LB Jimmy Rolder (leg) left practice early Friday, July 31, because of injuries.

Link to storyAtlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) has been limited to individual drills because of back tightness and said he is not sure when he will be able to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa said he hasn't dealt with this back issue before. Michael Penix said he could be four weeks away from being fully back from his 2025 ACL surgery, so the team has UDFA Jack Strand from Minnesota State-Mankato taking snaps with the team. They also signed Cooper Rush earlier this year. Not exactly how Kevin Stefanski wanted things to be going at the open of his first camp as Falcons head coach. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers did not practice on Friday, July 31. The team had planned it as a day off as they work him back from his season-ending knee injury he suffered last season.
| Footballguys view: This is just a reminder that while Nabers avoided the PUP list, he's not 100% and we can't sound the all clear signal yet on worries about his injury recovery affecting his value early in the season. |
Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, July 31. He will miss the entire 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: There was an initial report that Brazzell would only miss eight weeks, but the team opted for season-ending surgery instead. 2024 first round pick Xavier Legette will be among the candidates for the #3 role that Brazzell had staked a claim to early in his first NFL training camp. John Metchie, Jimmy Horn Jr, Brycen Tremayne, and David Moore are other options the team will evaluate before they make any big move to replace Brazzell's expected impact. |
Free agent OG Andrus Peat (Steelers) announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday, July 31.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins could play 'all three downs' in 2026, according to running back coach Duce Staley.
| Footballguys view: Staley has been challenging Judkins to get to a new level this year, and it sounds like Judkins is responding. When the Browns traded Myles Garrett, the chances of Judkins getting some positive game scripts for the running game went down, but if he is on the field in passing situations, he could still be a hit at a modest price of a pick around #50. |
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (personal reasons) was not present at practice on Friday, July 31.

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard,' Schottenheimer said.
| Footballguys view: Blue has carried over his excellent spring and should be able to parlay that into a dedicated offensive role as a true change of pace to Javonte Williams and dangerous speed threat in space. He would share work with Phil Mafah or Malik Davis on early downs if Williams goes down, but if he pops in his limited work, he would be the more valuable back to roster if Williams goes down. Blue is moving into the draftable in the late round range of typical drafts. |
Updating previous reports, Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks received a three-year, $48 million base extension. He's fully guaranteed $26.5 million with $2.5 million more in March 2027. He can earn $825,000 in annual incentives.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 31, and will practice.
| Footballguys view: Kraft's stay on the PUP was short. He does not rely on explosive movements as a route runner or otherwise need to be at true full speed to harvest most of the fantasy value he can create. Kraft also has a warrior mentality on the field, so he should have no problem with the psychological side of returning from a serious injury. He was the #1 tight end in PPR leagues when he went down, so Kraft could end up being a great value going off of the board as TE5 in the seventh round in the latest Footballguys Consensus ADP. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million.
| Footballguys view: Olave now ranks no.6 in the NFL (tied with DK Metcalf) for an AAV of $33 million, and the contract includes $90 million in guaranteed money. He had been held out of team drills early in camp because of this contract situation, and the Saints got it done. Expect Olave to post borderline WR1 numbers this year. He's got a current ADP of WR13 (3.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he does not have a timetable for his return and that he will play when he is ready.
| Footballguys view: He has been participating in individual drills during training camp. Reports indicate Nabers has been running routes for weeks, so there's a chance he's ready to play against the Cowboys in Week 1. Coming off a major injury, Fantasy GMs will continue to watch his status through camp. |
