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 ...

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.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.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 ...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.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 ...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 ...
