Howe cites “several high-ranking league sources” in the report. Recent buzz around Hill has not been great and he is now nursing an oblique injury. Still, the Dolphins do not appear to be interested in allowing the 31-year-old wide receiver to play elsewhere and Howe thinks that “there’s reason to believe [the distractions have] been left in the past.” If Hill really is turning a corner in his commitment to football, and the Dolphins can get him back to performing at an elite level, it ...15 August 2025
Broncos head coach Sean Payton adds that five or six starters who currently “have a lack of reps” will play on an “eight-play pitch count.” Those five or six players will be worth watching, namely to determine if the group includes players like RJ Harvey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and/or Pat Bryant. Should any of those players take the field, it would be nice to see them get the start and leave quickly thereafter.14 August 2025
The Raiders briefly rostered Steiner after he went undrafted earlier this year. Steiner will technically be listed as the FB3, with standout rookie FB Robbie Ouzts penciled in as the starter and FB Brady Russell spending half his time at TE. The signing reinforces the notion that Seattle is committed to establishing the run this season, which is good news for both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. The team correspondingly waived LB Michael Dowell.14 August 2025

Mike Evans and Lavonte David are the only starters who will not play. This game could provide insight into Baker Mayfield’s connection with rising rookie WR Emeka Egbuka, as well as the Buccaneers’ backfield usage with Rachaad White (groin) likely sidelined. Mayfield did not play last week.14 August 2025
Earlier today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that “the sexual assault case against former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond has been no-billed and he faces no further criminal charges.” Shortly thereafter, Bond posted a message on social media ostensibly indicating that the Browns had signed him. In the post, Bond thanked the Browns for giving him “this opportunity,” and committed to “learning this offense” and building strong relationships with his “teammates.” Cabot follows up ...14 August 2025
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan “hopes” Bosa will be back next week, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. The 49ers’ defensive line is a little banged up. Defensive line rookies, DL Mykel Williams and DT CJ West, both recently hyperextended their knees. Hopefully, all three get fully healthy in time for Week 1.14 August 2025
NFL players frequently play through pain when function is not an issue, so McVay’s response is unsurprising. Still, having the supposition confirmed is never ideal. Stafford is scheduled to participate in a workout on Saturday, which will determine his practice availability next week. Fingers crossed that at least his functionality improves.14 August 2025
Bond announced the signing on social media shortly after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that “the sexual assault case against former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond has been no-billed and he faces no further criminal charges.” Bond went undrafted out of Texas this year following his arrest and subsequent charges.14 August 2025
Nailor was expected to function as the Vikings’ fill-in No. 2 wide receiver with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three games of the season. Justin Jefferson is sidelined by a hamstring injury and Rondale Moore recently suffered a season-ending knee injury. The Nailor news leaves the wide receiver corps worryingly thin, and early-July reports on dynasty darling, rookie WR Tai Felton, indicated he may be best suited to special teams work in year one. The Vikings could make a move to acqui ...14 August 2025
The Jets also worked out QB Nathan Peterman, with backup QB Tyrod Taylor sidelined for the rest of the preseason after undergoing surgery on his injured knee. Beathard last took regular season snaps with the Jaguars in 2023, while Peterman did so with the Bears that same year.14 August 2025
Observing Herbert’s connection with his recently revamped receiving corps will be worthwhile for fantasy managers. Keenan Allen’s return to the lineup could have a fantasy-unfriendly effect on players like Quentin Johnston, Tre’ Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith. Derwin James and Khalil Mack are the only two starters who will not play.14 August 2025
This is somewhat concerning. A soft tissue strain suffered in mid-August could have early-season ramifications. The Athletic’s James Boyd reports, Downs “came off during one of the team periods complaining about pain in his hamstring” and headed straight toward the team’s trainers.14 August 2025
If Judkins begins practicing with the team before the regular season kicks off, he can still seize the team’s lead rushing role. The NFL’s investigation could still result in a suspension, however, though the expected timeline for said investigation is currently unknown. Nos. 2 and 3 RBs, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson, make for precarious fantasy football draft picks at this time.14 August 2025
Scherff retires with five Pro Bowl nominations, one first-team All-Pro honor and a 2015 PFWA All-Rookie Team award on his mantle. He spent his first seven seasons in the NFL playing for the Commanders, who drafted him fifth overall. He spent his remaining three seasons with the Jaguars. The former offensive guard was recently inducted into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame.14 August 2025
McCarthy played well last week, and the Vikings no doubt want to avoid him suffering another preseason injury. The strong-armed Howell gets the start instead, which should make for fun viewing.14 August 2025
Per Schultz, “this clears the way for him to return to the team,” which is likely to happen “in the near future.” Judkins was previously charged with misdemeanor domestic battery. He and his agent will ostensibly begin negotiating his rookie contract with the Browns’ front office.14 August 2025
The workout will be similar to what he did on August 9th, when he threw more than 60 passes. The team used that workout to assess whether Stafford was ready to resume practicing. Unfortunately, he wasn’t. McVay hopes Stafford’s back “responds a little bit better” this time around.14 August 2025
Payton also told us Greenlaw would return “next week” on August 1st. He has at least been spotted wearing pads at practice recently, so the claim is more plausible this time around. The fact that Greenlaw is dealing with scar tissue certainly isn’t great though.14 August 2025
Shanahan said West’s ACL appears to be intact after undergoing initial tests, saying West suffered an injury similar to that of DL Mykel Williams. The team used fourth- and first-round picks on West and Williams, respectively, this offseason.
