| 9/3/2026 2:42:00 PM | Love wrapped up the Packers' preseason slate having completed eight of 12 passes for 74 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in two appearances. |
| Love led one drive apiece in Green Bay's first two exhibitions, with his sole TD a connection with RB MarShawn Lloyd over the middle in Denver in preseason Week 2. Love also linked up with each of his top three WRs Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden at least one time. Especially against the Broncos, Love appeared to be hitting on all cylinders, and he'll aim to carry it over to a Week 1 road matchup with the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13. | |
| 9/3/2026 2:38:00 PM | Kamara (knee) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. |
| Kamara was diagnosed with a sprained MCL a little over two weeks ago and was given a return timetable of "at least one month," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, so it's not at all surprising to see the veteran running back still sidelined. The Saints will begin official Week 1 prep next week, and it would be somewhat shocking to see Kamara practice and be available for the season opener against the Lions. With Kendre Miller (undisclosed) also missing practice time, Audric Estime could be the backup to Travis Etienne against Detroit. | |
| 9/3/2026 2:02:00 PM | Diggs is among the seven wide receivers on Washington's initial 53-man roster. |
| The depth chart behind Diggs appears uncertain, but the veteran wide receiver seems safely locked into a starting role opposite Terry McLaurin heading into the regular season. Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, Jaylin Lane and Luke McCaffrey also made the team. Diggs has fallen short of 1,000 receiving yards only once in the past eight regular seasons. | |
| 9/3/2026 1:41:00 PM | Watson is one of six wide receivers on the Packers' initial 53-man roster, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. |
| Watson sits atop a wide receiver depth chart that also includes Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton, Skyy Moore and J. Michael Sturdivant. Savion Williams (ankle) is on IR with a designation to return, so he could be eligible to play starting in Week 5. Watson failed to exceed 620 receiving yards in any of his previous four regular seasons while being plagued by injuries, but he's expected to lead Green Bay's wide receiver room as long as he's healthy. | |
| 9/3/2026 1:39:00 PM | Skattebo admitted Thursday in an appearance on FanDuel TV's "Up & Adams" that he briefly considered retirement after sustaining a severe right ankle injury in an Oct. 26 loss to the Eagles. "I would say probably a month in [to the rehab process] I was kind of like, 'Do I really want to do this?'" Skattebo said. "But I got to go back and play." |
| Skattebo told Kay Adams that coming out of college, he had determined that if he ever suffered a major injury, he would step away from football. However, after dislocating his right ankle just eight games into his rookie season, Skattebo determined that he still had too much good football left in him to justify an early retirement. Skattebo underwent surgery a day after suffering the injury and has bounced back well, as the Giants cleared him to take part in drills during June minicamp and made him available with no restrictions to begin training camp. After carrying four times for 19 yards in the Giants' preseason opener, Skattebo didn't play in either of the final two exhibitions, but he was held out merely as precaution. Skattebo is still likely to have his workload scaled back to some degree to begin the 2026 campaign after averaging 19.5 touches per game from Weeks 2 through 7 last season, but he'll head into the Sept. 13 opener versus the Cowboys as the Giants' clear lead option out of the backfield. | |
| 9/3/2026 1:35:00 PM | Broncos OC Davis Webb said Aug. 25 that Waddle is "going to play everywhere" on offense this season, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. |
| "He's going to play everywhere," Webb said. "He's really really good. He's going to play everywhere. Except offensive line." Coach Sean Payton has been moving Waddle all over the formation during training camp, and he recently beat Patrick Surtain for a 60-yard touchdown in practice. Payton added that Waddle "walks on water" with his traits. Acquired from the Dolphins over the offseason, Waddle missed some time early in camp with tightness. He's looking like a potential home run pick in the third and fourth rounds of fantasy drafts. Waddle is expected to be the engine of the Denver offense. | |
| 9/2/2026 12:56:00 PM | Walker (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports. |
| Walker dealt with some swelling around his ankle last week due to some cleat issues, but the star running back is back in action Wednesday with 12 days to go before the Chiefs open their season at home against the Broncos on Monday, Sept. 14. After splitting duties with Zach Charbonnet (knee) in Seattle, Walker is expected to operate as a three-down workhorse with Kansas City this season. Only fifth-round rookie Emmett Johnson and 2025 seventh-rounder Brashard Smith round out the depth chart behind Walker. | |
| 9/2/2026 9:37:00 AM | Corum was rested for all three of the Rams' preseason contests. |
| Though Kyren Williams remains listed as the top running back on the Rams' unofficial depth chart, head coach Sean McVay's decision to hold out Corum throughout the preseason along with many of the team's key players suggests that the 24-year-old is essentially being treated as a co-starter heading into his third NFL season. After seeing limited action as a rookie in 2024, Corum doubled up his snap count in Year 2, finishing the regular season with 746 yards and six touchdowns on 145 carries while chipping in eight receptions for 36 yards on 14 targets over 17 games. While Williams remains the better bet to lead the Los Angeles backfield in carries in 2026, Corum could be primed to take on at least a slightly larger share of the workload after he was highly efficient with his opportunities a season ago. | |
| 8/29/2026 5:32:00 PM | London played eight snaps on offense and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Falcons' 17-12 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday. |
| London was limited to playing the first quarter of Friday's exhibition game before observing the rest of the contest from the sidelines. Entering his fifth NFL season, the USC product has recorded at least 68 catches and 850 receiving yards in each of his four years with Atlanta. London has been one of the most productive receivers since entering the league in 2022, but his offensive output will be heavily tied to the production of the Falcons' starting quarterback, whether that's Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix (knee). | |
| 8/28/2026 9:07:00 PM | Purdy sat out Thursday's exhibition win over the Raiders. |
| San Francisco elected to rest its projected regular-season starters for the team's final exhibition game. Purdy saw very limited work during the preseason slate, getting into one game and completing four of six passes for 29 yards. He'll next take the field against the Rams in Week 1 of the regular season in Melbourne, Australia, on Friday, Sept. 11 (which will be Thursday, Sept. 10 in US time zones). Purdy will be working with a largely new wideout corps, including Mike Evans (groin), Deebo Samuel (returning after a one-year hiatus with Washington), rookie De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) and Christian Kirk (calf). | |
| 8/28/2026 8:57:00 PM | Moore didn't play against the Steelers in Thursday's exhibition victory. |
| Buffalo elected to rest the bulk of its projected regular-season starters, including Moore, for the team's final preseason game. The veteran wideout saw action in one exhibition contest, catching three of four targets for 61 yards. Moore left that game early due to an ankle injury but has since returned to practice, so he should be good to go as the Bills' top wideout Week 1 of the regular season versus a tough Texans defense. | |
| 8/28/2026 8:26:00 PM | Cook didn't play during Buffalo's exhibition win over Pittsburgh on Thursday. |
| The Bills rested most of their projected regular-season starters, so Cook's absence was expected. The star running back finished the preseason slate having appeared in one game, logging 21 yards on five carries. Cook now will look ahead to Week 1, when he's slated to lead Buffalo's backfield against a tough Texans defense on Sunday, Sept. 13. Ray Davis is expected to work as his top backup. | |
| 8/28/2026 7:12:00 PM | Jones completed one of his five pass attempts for seven yards in Thursday night's preseason finale against the Raiders. |
| Jones played just eight offensive snaps in the contest, marking a quick end to the preseason for the veteran backup. Despite the poor outing, Jones is still the most likely No. 2 option at quarterback behind starter Brock Purdy. With Kurtis Rourke (ribs) dealing with an injury, Adrian Martinez will likely fill out the QB room as the team heads into Sunday's cutdown day. | |
| 8/28/2026 2:15:00 AM | Dicker is "working through something," but head coach Jim Harbaugh is not concerned about his status, according to Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com. |
| Dicker went 1-of-2 on field goals and made his lone extra-point attempt in Thursday's preseason finale, but he apparently was not 100 percent during the game, with Harbaugh noting punter JK Scott would have attempted a field goal at the end of the game had an opportunity arose. Dicker's status is left uncertain for the time being, but as things stand it appears more likely than not he will be ready for what could be a high-scoring Week 1 matchup with the Cardinals. | |
| 8/26/2026 6:17:00 PM | Brooks (undisclosed) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. |
| Brooks is set to miss Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons but is all ready to go for Week 1 against the Raiders. The starting middle linebacker seems to have worked past his unknown injury and is being kept out for precautionary reasons. | |
| 8/25/2026 8:30:00 PM | Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Rourke (ribs) has a chance to return to the field next week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. |
| Rourke suffered three broken ribs during San Francisco's preseason opener versus the Titans, but it seems like the injury may not keep the quarterback on the sidelines much longer. Until Rourke is healthy again, Adrian Martinez still projects as the 49ers' third signal-caller behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones. | |
| 8/22/2026 11:33:00 PM | Borregales made his only field-goal attempt, from 41 yards out, and connected on all three extra-point tries in the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday. |
| Borregales had a shaky preseason opener against the Colts where he misfired on three field-goal attempts, but the UM product was able to convert every opportunity presented to him Saturday. Borregales does ostensibly have some slack after posting respective 84.4 percent and 96.4 percent success rates on field goals and PATs as a rookie in 2025, following up those solid numbers by making four of six field-goal attempts and all seven extra-point tries in New England's four-game postseason run. | |
| 5/4/2026 2:23:00 PM | Taylor (knee) is signing a contract with the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports Monday. |
| Taylor last saw game action in Week 14 of the 2025 campaign for the Jets, with whom he made four starts in the second season of his two-year, $12 million contract prior to sustaining a knee injury. The 36-year-old quarterback has since recovered from that injury and slots in as the favorite to back up Jordan Love in a Packers quarterback room that also includes Kyle McCord and Kyron Drones. | |
| 3/10/2026 7:09:00 PM | Elliss agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $33 million contract with the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Elliss played nearly every defensive snap for the Falcons over the past three seasons, piling up at least 107 tackles each year while totaling 12.5 sacks and two interceptions in that stretch. Now, he'll return to the team that drafted him in the seventh round back in 2019. The 30-year-old is set to receive $23 million guaranteed, which puts him in a strong position to start at inside linebacker next to Pete Werner in 2026. | |
| 3/9/2026 2:01:00 PM | Davis agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract with the Jets on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. |
| Davis is back with the Jets, who drafted him in the third round back in 2012 and employed the linebacker from 2012 through 2015 and in 2017. Heading into his 15th NFL campaign, Davis still seems to have some gas left in the tank, as he just notched a career-high 143 tackles across 17 games with the Saints in 2025. Once Davis' deal becomes official Wednesday at the start of the new league year, it will include $15 million in guaranteed money. | |
| 3/5/2026 9:33:00 PM | Hunter and the Texans agreed on a one-year, $40.1 million contract extension Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. |
| Hunter -- who is now under contract with Houston through 2027 -- is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he compiled 54 total tackles (28 solo), including 15.0 sacks, while also recording three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games. The defensive lineman has combined to produced 27.0 sacks over two years with the Texans, and his new extension certainly reflects his value to the franchise. Look for Hunter to have another productive season in 2026 while starting opposite of Will Anderson on Houston's defensive line. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:28:00 PM | Queen logged 120 tackles (56 solo), including a sack, along with four pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025. |
| Queen has yet to miss a regular-season game over his first six professional campaigns, and he's topped 100 tackles in five of those seasons. While he's recorded just one sack in each of his two seasons with the Steelers, he should remain involved during the playoffs and will presumably garner plenty of interest as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:08:00 PM | Wilson recorded 126 tackles (74 solo), including two sacks, along with an interception, two pass defenses and a fumble recovery while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025. |
| Wilson showed promise as a rookie in 2024 with 78 tackles (49 solo), an interception, two pass defenses, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and a touchdown, and he took a step forward in his second professional season by leading the Steelers in tackles. He had four games with double-digit tackles and should remain heavily involved in the playoffs and during the 2026 campaign. | |
| 1/8/2026 4:33:00 PM | Knight had 106 tackles (58 solo), including 3.0 sacks, as well as two interceptions among his seven passes defensed while playing in all 17 games in 2025. |
| Knight was one of the few bright spots in a tough season for Cincinnati's defense. The 2025 second-round draft pick appeared in every game of his rookie regular season and started 14 while showcasing a promising mix of run stopping and coverage ability. He'll likely reprise his role as the starting weakside linebacker in 2026, as the Bengals have plenty of other holes to fill on defense. | |
| 1/7/2026 7:52:00 PM | Bolton recorded 154 tackles (73 solo) including 1.0 sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble in 17 games with Kansas City in 2025. |
| Bolton retained his role as the Chiefs' top linebacker after they signed him to a three-year, $45 million contract back in March, and he led the team in total tackles for the second straight year. In fact, his season tackle total was tied for the seventh-best in the league. He has reestablished himself as one of the better linebackers in the NFL and projects as a strong IDP option for 2026. | |
| 1/6/2026 11:10:00 PM | Van Ginkel posted five tackles (four solo) and two defensed passes in Sunday's 16-3 win over Green Bay in Week 18. He concluded the campaign with 54 stops (28 solo), including 7.0 sacks, 10 defensed passes (including an interception) and two fumble recoveries across 12 games. |
| Van Ginkel missed four games early in the campaign due to a neck injury, marking the first time since his rookie 2019 season that he had to sit out any contests. The missed time likely contributed to his sack total dipping a bit compared to the 11.5 sacks he posted during the regular season in 2024, but it didn't keep Van Ginkel from registering a career-best 10 pass defenses (tied for most on Minnesota). Van Ginkel signed a one-year extension last April, so he should be back to help anchor the Vikings' defense again in 2026. | |
