| 9/4/2026 12:28:00 AM | McLaughlin is slated to be Tampa Bay's primary placekicker for the fourth consecutive campaign in 2026. |
| McLaughlin got limited opportunities early in his career, but he's played in 16 or 17 contests each of the past five years, the last three of which have been with the Bucs. He was incredibly accurate in making 94 percent of his FG attempts over his first two seasons with the club, and though that rate dropped a bit to 84 percent last year, McLaughlin also hit a career-high 11 field goals from 50-plus yards (on 12 attempts). He'll be in the final year of the three-year contract he inked in 2024, which could give McLaughlin additional incentive to make a big impact with his leg. | |
| 9/3/2026 3:50:00 PM | Loveland is listed as a starting tight end along with Cole Kmet on the Bears' unofficial depth chart. |
| The 10th overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Loveland had a slow start to his rookie season, coming out of Week 8 with 11 catches total on the campaign and one DNP due to a hip injury. From Week 9 through the Bears' divisional-round loss to the Rams, though, he ran roughshod over opposing defenses, hauling in 59 of 89 targets for 790 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games. Loveland capped that stretch with four consecutive contests with double-digit targets, indicating he left off last season as QB Caleb Williams' top option in the passing game. While Loveland still has to contend with WRs Rome Odunze and Luther Burden (groin) for the attention of Williams, the tight end is poised to make a leap to the NFL's best at the position. | |
| 9/3/2026 3:39:00 PM | Achane is set to lead a Dolphins backfield in 2026 that will also include Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon (ribs), based on Miami's initial 53-man roster. |
| The Dolphins traded for Jarquez Hunter shortly before cutdown day, but he ultimately didn't make the 53-man roster, though Hunter remains in the organization as part of the practice squad. Fullback D.J. Herman is also listed as a running back, but the team's backfield is otherwise unchanged from 2025, when Achane produced a career-high 1,838 scrimmage yards. The team around Achane went through an offseason overhaul, including the addition of mobile QB Malik Willis, but Achane projects to maintain a prominent role as the centerpiece of an otherwise unproven offense. | |
| 9/3/2026 3:02:00 PM | Henderson (ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. |
| Henderson has been sidelined for the last 10 days, and while there's been no indication he's dealing with a serious injury, it's starting to get close to the wire for Henderson to play in next Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks. Henderson will almost certainly need to return to practice before Monday to have a chance to face Seattle. If he can't go in Week 1, Rhamondre Stevenson would get a huge fantasy boost as a surefire RB2 based on volume projection. | |
| 9/2/2026 9:04:00 PM | Adams didn't suit up for any of the Rams' three-game preseason schedule. |
| After logging at least 1,000 receiving yards six times in seven seasons between 2018 and 2024, Adams put together just 789 such yards in his age-33 campaign last year over 14 regular-season games, though he did miss three contest due to a hamstring injury. He salvaged his season with an NFL-leading 14 touchdown catches, displaying an incredible rapport with QB Matthew Stafford. With the Rams' top WR, Puka Nacua, still tending to psoas soreness a week before the team's Week 1 matchup with the 49ers next Thursday, Sept. 10, Adams effectively could be Stafford's No. 1 target out of the gate if Nacua isn't 100 percent. | |
| 9/2/2026 7:25:00 PM | Bosa (knee) is making the trip to Australia and still could have a chance to play in the 49ers' Week 1 matchup against the Rams in Melbourne, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports. |
| It's generally encouraging news for Bosa, whose activity has recently been ramping up in anticipation of San Francisco's regular-season opener on Sept. 10. He is still working his way back onto the field after suffering a torn ACL early in the 2025 campaign, and he'll probably need to participate in some team drills before he's given the okay to suit up for game action again. | |
| 9/2/2026 6:49:00 PM | Harrison is listed as a starter on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart. |
| This comes as no surprise considering Harrison's standing as the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft and his average of 6.5 targets per game through two seasons in the NFL. However, he has yet to take off, even with QB Jacoby Brissett under center for most of the 2025 campaign, as heel and foot injuries contained him to only three appearances in the final eight contests. Harrison has had a clean bill of health since late July, and with a full training camp working with Brissett and fellow WR Michael Wilson, the trio is set to hit the ground running Week 1 under new coach Mike LaFleur. | |
| 9/2/2026 4:37:00 PM | Fellow RB D'Andre Swift said Monangai (knee) "looked good" while running Wednesday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports. |
| Since hyperextending his right knee in practice Aug. 16, Monangai has been described as "week-to-week" on multiple occasions by coach Ben Johnson, including as recently as Tuesday, according to Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com. Swift's view of Monangai one day later likely means the latter ran on the side versus in any drills, but it's at least the first positive sign that he's making progress in his recovery. If Monangai ends up being limited or even sidelined to begin the season, Swift likely would be a bellcow in the Bears offense, with Roschon Johnson on hand for any RB reps that linger. | |
| 9/2/2026 11:00:00 AM | St. Brown was a standout performer during the Lions' final practice of training camp Thursday, recording several receptions during team drills, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports. |
| St. Brown was particularly impressive on the Lions' second-to-last series of the day, when he had gains of 14, seven and four yards on receptions before beating cornerback Rock Ya-Sin on a post route for a 16-yard score to end the drive. He nearly added another touchdown to his ledger on the final drive, as he corralled a jump ball over Ya-Sin in the end zone before he was ruled to have bobbled the ball prior to stepping out of bounds. The performance marked an impressive end to what Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site labeled a "really strong camp" for St. Brown, who is once again ticketed for a high-volume role in the Detroit passing game and profiles as a strong first-round pick in fantasy drafts. | |
| 9/2/2026 9:41:00 AM | Meyers (hand) will participate in Wednesday's practice session, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports. |
| Meyers has been out of action since injuring his hand during a joint practice with the Panthers nearly two weeks ago, but he is set to return to the field Wednesday. With Meyers cleared to get some work in, it seems likely he is on track to take the field Week 1 against the Browns. | |
| 9/1/2026 1:03:00 PM | Stafford once again didn't play any offensive snaps during the preseason. |
| Stafford hasn't taken a preseason snap since the summer of 2019. The difference this year from last is that he's healthy. While back issues kept Stafford glued to the sideline last year, he's been a full participant in training camp this summer and appears poised to try and repeat as league MVP with a star-studded roster in Los Angeles. Despite the back issues last preseason and during camp, Stafford still started all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and led the league with 4,707 passing yards, 46 touchdowns and a 7.7 percent touchdown rate. He finished as fantasy's overall QB3 but is being drafted on average as the QB12 in fantasy leagues this year. | |
| 9/1/2026 12:26:00 PM | Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday that Hurts has "embraced" the new offense and is "excited about it" headed into the season, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. |
| "I think Jalen's adjusted really well to the new offense," Roseman said. "Now again, we're at a moment in time, we haven't played a game. This isn't in reference to Jalen; this is in reference to anything else. I think that a lot of the things that we'll do during the regular season when we have game plans, I think from an offensive perspective, they're going to be different than what we've done in the past. Jalen's embraced it. He's excited about it and obviously we've got to be better than we were last year." Hurts struggled with interceptions a bit over the summer during training camp and didn't see any action during the preseason, so Week 1 against the Commanders will be the first game action under new OC Sean Mannion. The 28-year-old Hurts is expected to once again be in the mix as a top-five fantasy quarterback after setting a new career high with 25 touchdown passes last regular season to go along with a career-best 1.3 percent interception rate. His rushing numbers fell off some, as he punched in just eight touchdown on the ground after averaging 14 over the previous three seasons. | |
| 8/31/2026 9:09:00 PM | Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Garrett (knee) is making "really good progress" in the edge rusher's recovery, with the goal of playing in Week 1 against the 49ers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. |
| Garrett, whom the Rams acquired in an offseason trade with Cleveland, didn't play in the preseason and has been unable to practice for most of August while dealing with swelling in his knee. The Rams remain hopeful that Garrett will recover by the time the team kicks off regular-season play against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, Sept. 10. Los Angeles added more star power to its defensive line Sunday by signing defensive tackle Aaron Donald to a one-year, $20 million contract. | |
| 8/30/2026 11:21:00 AM | Myers went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his lone PAT in Friday's 9-9 preseason tie against the Chiefs. |
| Myers converted a 46-yard attempt in the first quarter but missed a PAT in the fourth quarter to keep Seattle's lead at 9-6. After the Chiefs tied the game, Myers missed an opportunity to give the Seahawks their only win of the preseason by pushing a 52-yard field-goal attempt wide right on the final play of the game. Myers missed his only field-goal attempt in Seattle's preseason opener against the Cowboys and went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts while missing a PAT in the Seahawks' second preseason game. His preseason inaccuracy represents a significant departure from Myers' strong performance during the 2025 regular season, when he converted 41 of his league-high 48 field-goal attempts. | |
| 8/28/2026 11:56:00 PM | Dalton completed 12 of 19 passes for 104 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday. |
| Dalton took over for Tanner McKee to open the second half and got plenty of work, with the highlight of his night being a five-yard touchdown pass to Carson Steele late in the third quarter. Dalton finished the preseason having completed 18 of 35 passes for 168 yards with Friday's touchdown, and his performance against the Bengals may have been sufficient to garner him the No. 2 job to open the season. | |
| 8/28/2026 11:52:00 PM | McKee completed 12 of 22 passes for 55 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday. |
| McKee drew the start and played the entire first half, but as his final line indicates, he had significant trouble moving the ball downfield. The 2023 sixth-round pick had put together a markedly better performance in preseason Week 2 against the Patriots, when he'd completed 72.7 percent of his 22 pass attempts for 173 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. McKee's sluggish showing Friday paired with Andy Dalton's solid second-half numbers (12-for-19, 104 yards, one TD) may be enough to give the latter the inside track to the No. 2 job to open the season. | |
| 8/28/2026 5:47:00 PM | White (hamstring) isn't suited up for Friday's preseason game in Baltimore. |
| White has been tending to a hamstring injury since Aug. 19 that will keep him sidelined for the Commanders' final two exhibitions. He was able to mix into individual drills as recently as Monday, though, so he's making progress in his recovery. White will join No. 1 RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (lower body) and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps) on the sideline Friday. | |
| 8/28/2026 2:26:00 PM | Robinson is not believed to have sustained a concussion during Thursday's joint practice with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports. |
| Robinson took a hard hit during Thursday's session and underwent tests, which apparently ruled out a concussion. Per the report, the Titans will continue monitoring Robinson's symptoms, but the early indications are promising and he seemingly is on track to take the field in Week 1 against the Jets on Sept. 13. | |
| 8/28/2026 1:54:00 AM | Simpson completed 18 of 23 passes for 119 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while also rushing three times for 10 yards in the Rams' 20-18 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday. |
| Simpson drew the start and initially played the entire first half before reentering the game in the latter portion of the fourth quarter without attempting another pass. The rookie 13th overall pick put together a solid first two quarters, connecting with Brennan Presley for an 11-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter. Simpson did nothing to hurt his chances of earning the No. 2 quarterback job this preseason -- he completed 47 of 60 passes (78.3 percent) for 382 yards with a 3:0 TD:INT and added seven rushes for 19 yards -- but it remains to be seen whether he did enough to beat out the more experienced Stetson Bennett for the role. | |
| 8/27/2026 11:40:00 PM | Black rushed four times for 28 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the 49ers' 18-12 preseason win over the Raiders on Thursday. |
| Black didn't log a touch on the 49ers' opening three-and-out possession, but he gained 11 yards on back-to-back carries to start San Francisco's second drive. The rookie third-round pick then recorded his game-high 14 yard run on the last play of the first quarter, rounding out his relatively brief night in encouraging fashion. Black put together a solid two-game preseason during which he rushed 12 times for 61 yards, but his primary competition for the No. 2 running back role, Jordan James, had a productive night himself Thursday with 55 yards from scrimmage on nine touches. Consequently, it's possible the two backs share complementary work behind Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) to open the regular season. | |

| questionable | |
| 8/15/2026 11:18:00 PM | Payton completed four of nine passes for 37 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added three rushes for 45 yards in the Eagles' 24-7 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday. |
| The rookie fifth-round pick is strictly a developmental project, but Payton flashed some playmaking ability while saving the Eagles from a shutout with a late six-yard touchdown pass to Erik Ezukanma. Payton also accrued a team-high rushing yardage total with the help of a game-long 17-yard run, making it an eventful pro debut overall. Payton should continue to have ample second-half opportunities over Philadelphia's final two preseason games. | |
| 3/10/2026 7:37:00 PM | Chenal agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year contract with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. |
| Chenal always played a consistent role during his three years with the Chiefs, but he never surpassed 439 defensive snaps in a season. When he's on the field, he's quite dependable, stacking up 193 tackles, including 6.0 sacks, over 48 games through the last two seasons. With Bobby Wagner likely holding onto an every-down role, Chenal will need to battle for reps behind the likes of Dorance Armstrong (knee) and Frankie Luvu. | |
| 3/9/2026 6:18:00 PM | Walker agreed to terms Monday on a three-year, $40.5 million contract with Las Vegas, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. |
| Walker logged a career year with the Packers in 2025, racking up 128 tackles (58 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and five pass defenses over 14 regular-season games, and he'll now bring his talents to the Raiders as the team's new starting middle linebacker. The landing spot is positive for Walker's fantasy value in IDP formats, as new defensive coordinator Rob Leonard figures to rely on the soon-to-be 26-year-old linebacker as an every-down playmaker and schematic focal point. | |
| 3/9/2026 5:35:00 PM | Singleton and the Broncos agreed to a two-year, $15.5 million contract Monday that includes $11 million guaranteed, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. |
| Singleton's 2024 season was cut short due to a torn ACL, but the Montana State product bounced back in a big way in 2025. He led the Broncos in stops, finishing with 135 tackles (54 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games, and he added another 26 combined tackles over Denver's two playoff games. Singleton has posted 100-plus tackles in five of seven NFL seasons, and his return solidifies the Broncos' interior linebacker corps that also includes Justin Strnad but not Dre Greenlaw after the latter was released Monday, per Stevens. | |
| 2/5/2026 7:43:00 PM | Hamilton (concussion) intercepted a pass during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game. |
| The All-Pro safety suffered a concussion during Baltimore's Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh and had to exit in the second half. His participation in the Pro Bowl Games suggests he's past the issue. That's good for the Ravens, who committed to their 2022 first-round pick, who has made an All-Pro team after each of the last three seasons, with a four-year, $100.4 million extension last August. | |
| 1/8/2026 6:03:00 PM | Carter notched 106 tackles (53 solo) and four passes defensed, including one interception, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. |
| Carter compiled impressive production for a rookie fourth-round pick, though the actual quality of his play left something to be desired. Though Carter earned an every-down role in defense as a rookie, it won't be surprising if he has to compete to retain a starting gig this offseason, unless he manages to take a substantial step forward in his development. | |
