Broncos head coach Sean Payton said EDGE Nik Bonitto underwent surgery because he “had a little spur” in his foot and the “goal” is to have him back next week.

14 August 2025

The small procedure reportedly required three stitches. Bonitto and the Broncos are currently in talks about a possible extension following his 15-sack season in 2024. Hopefully, the talented pass rusher returns without issue.

Marquee Sports Networks Scott Bair writes, Olamide Zaccheaus “has been so good that rookie Luther Burden III can’t crack the first team.”

14 August 2025

Per Bair, Olamide “has shown flashes every day of an excellent training camp to this point” and “it’s crystal clear” that Zaccheaus has Caleb Williams’ trust. The Bears’ team-released unofficial depth chart notably shows the team in 12 personnel (two WRs, two TEs, one RB), with DJ Moore and Rome Odunze listed as the two starters. Burden’s raw talent is not in question but Zaccheaus’ presence, coupled with the Bears’ potential 12 personnel reliance, is muddying his path to ear ...

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said most starters will not play in the team’s preseason Week 2 game against the Buccaneers.

14 August 2025

Per NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk, “players like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Jalen Ramsey, and Cam Heyward,” among others, will not play this weekend. The Steelers will instead use joint practices with the Buccaneers to get the starters valuable reps. Tomlin adds that Ramsey will get all of the reps against Mike Evans today.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said CB Jaylon Johnson and CB Kyler Gordon are dealing with hamstring injuries.

14 August 2025

It took a while for the team to disclose both players’ injuries but now we know why they are sidelined. Marquee Sports Network’s Scott Bair reports that the Bears “hope” Johnson is “healthy and can return for the Week 1 clash with the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings.” Gordon is considered week-to-week, and “the Bears are hopeful that he can return before the end of training camp.” Backup CB Tre Flowers left practice early on Thursday. This secondary could be one to target for f ...

Matt Breida announced his retirement after seven seasons in the NFL.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rashee Rice’s disciplinary hearing is scheduled for September 30.

14 August 2025

Rice was sentenced to five years of probation and 30 days in jail for his involvement in a multi-car crash in Dallas over a year ago. The ruling allowed the NFL to move forward with its disciplinary process, which will now take place after Week 4. Rice is expected to be given a multi-game suspension, though estimates for how long that will be range from two to eight games. No matter the length, it’s unlikely the suspension prevents him from playing in the fantasy playoffs. Fantasy managers sho ...

Bills signed DE Nelson Ceaser, formerly of the Seahawks, to a contract.

14 August 2025

Ceaser logged zero snaps in his 2024 rookie season. The Bills correspondingly waived WR Jalen Virgil and DE Justin Hollins with injury designations. The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia writes, “Virgil was quite limited during Wednesday’s practice, while Hollins was not on the field for the session.”

The Commanders worked out free agent OT Cam Fleming on Thursday.

14 August 2025

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that Fleming left without a deal but the two sides “plan to remain in touch moving forward.” The 32-year-old offensive tackle most recently played for the Broncos in 2024, earning a 71.3 PFF pass-blocking grade on 80 qualifying snaps.

Commanders signed CB Daryl Worley, formerly of the Titans.

14 August 2025

The team also signed journeyman wide receiver River Cracraft. Worley signed with the Titans midseason and ultimately made nine appearances with the team, seven of which were credited as starts. He broke up two passes with one interception and contributed some on special teams. Worley will be a depth option for the Commanders.

49ers placed OT Andre Dillard on season-ending injured reserve.

14 August 2025

San Francisco placed Dillard on the PUP list ahead of training camp. Dillard underwent offseason ankle surgery and was still recovering from the procedure. He came off the PUP list earlier this week. It’s unclear if he suffered a setback or if this is a new issue. Either way, the 49ers are down a potential swing tackle as the season approaches.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rashee Rice’s disciplinary hearing is scheduled for September 30th.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Sam LaPorta (undisclosed) will miss “a little bit of time.”

14 August 2025

Campbell didn’t give any specifics on the injury, only calling it a minor issue. Barring a setback, it doesn’t sound like this is something that will have any effect on LaPorta for Week 1. Still, it’s something for fantasy managers to monitor. LaPorta got off to a slow start last year after suffering an ankle injury in Week 3. He didn’t top 53 yards in a game until Week 15. LaPorta then surpassed 60 yards three times in his final four appearances. He should be able to ride that momentum ...

ESPN’s Tony Grossi reports Browns QB Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) is expected to be “full go” in Thursday’s practice.

14 August 2025

Gabriel has been dealing with a hamstring injury for over a week. He has been getting in some reps during team drills and now appears to be back at full strength. Gabriel is in line to start the Browns’ second preseason game versus the Eagles if he makes it to Saturday without any setbacks. With Shedeur Sanders and Kenny Pickett both sidelined because of injuries, Gabriel will get plenty of playing time if he’s active.

Falcons agreed to terms with CB C.J. Henderson, formerly of the Steelers.

14 August 2025

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Henderson still has to pass his physical. The deal will be official once that happens. Henderson spent a month on the Steelers’ practice squad last year before being called up to the active roster. He did not, however, appear in a single game as a Steeler. His last live reps came with the Panthers in 2023. He made 10 starts, appeared in all 17 games, and broke up six passes with two interceptions.

The PewterReport’s Scott Reynolds “would be shocked” if Chris Godwin (ankle) doesn’t start the year on the PUP list.

14 August 2025

That would sideline Godwin for at least four games. Godwin suffered a dislocated ankle in Week 7 last year and has yet to return to practice. He underwent an initial surgery after suffering the injury and needed a second procedure in the spring, though that was reportedly for a minor cleanup. Godwin looks like a safe bet to miss Week 1. Now the question is whether or not Tampa Bay will put him on ice for four games to open the year. First-round rookie Emekea Egbuka will take his place in the lin ...

Dolphins placed OL Germain Ifedi on season-ending injured reserve.

14 August 2025

The team signed offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste in a corresponding move. Ifedi made seven starts for the Browns last year and signed with the Dolphins as a depth piece less than two weeks ago. Cajuste’s last NFL snap came in 2022 with the Patriots. While Ifedi wasn’t projected to start for Miami, losing depth this early in training camp is never a good sign.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune’s Luke Johnson reports Saints QB Spencer Rattler got “an extended look with the first team” in Wednesday’s practice.

14 August 2025

Rattler began the preseason as the Saints’ starter and continues to get the practice reps for it. Johnson reports that rookie Tyler Shough and Rattler rotated with the first team in Wednesday’s practice, with Rattler getting “an extended look.” Meanwhile, Jake Haener took just four third-team scrimmage snaps. Johnson believes he is the odd man out of the starting quarterback competition. The Saints’ quarterback room has taken shape with Rattler starting, Shough the backup, and Haener t ...

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said “nothing” is preventing contract talks with EDGE Micah Parsons.

14 August 2025

The Cowboys front office and Parsons and his camp have yet to restart talks on a contract extension. Jones said ,"I don’t know that necessarily talks will” pick up when the team goes to Dallas and that “nothing” is preventing the discussion, though clearly there is a rift between the two parties. When approached by reporters on the topic, Parsons said, “my mouth’s closed.” The relationship between Parsons and the Cowboys still seems in the bitter stages of the contract dispute, tho ...

Saints placed WR Bub Means (leg) on injured reserve.

13 August 2025

The move ends Means’ season unless he is released with an injury settlement. Means went down with an apparent lower leg injury in the Saints’ preseason opener versus the Chargers and was carted to the locker room. The second-year wideout had a chance at carving out a rotational role behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed before going down with the injury. Brandin Cooks now appears to be locked into the WR3 job for New Orleans.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Browns QB Shedeur Sanders (oblique) will not practice on Thursday and is unlikely to play in the Browns’ second preseason game against the Eagles.

13 August 2025

Sanders injured his oblique early in Wednesday’s practice and did not return. He could return for Friday’s practice before suiting up versus the Eagles on Saturday, but that looks like an extremely unlikely outcome at this point. Dillon Gabriel is dealing with a hamstring issue but participated in 11-on-11 drills today, putting him on track to play in Cleveland’s second preseason game. Kenny Pickett is also dealing with a hamstring issue and looks unlikely to suit up. If healthy, Gabriel s ...
