| 9/3/2026 4:06:00 PM | Hall (groin) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports. |
| Hall is still nursing the groin injury he suffered 17 days ago, but he was originally given a return timetable of 2-to-3 weeks and was spotted running without any noticeable issues on a side field last week. Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Hall should be fine for the season opener. Whether he sees his normal workload is another question, as Braelon Allen has looked the part in practice and during limited preseason action, where he rushed seven times for 48 yards (6.9 YPC) and one touchdown. | |
| 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 2:49:00 PM | Coach Shane Steichen said Pierce (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports. |
| It marks Pierce's first full practice of the summer after he underwent offseason ankle surgery. GM Chris Ballard said Tuesday that the "hope" was Pierce would be ready for the team's Week 1 opener against the Ravens, and this return to full work would suggest the wideout is on the path to playing Sunday, Sept. 13. Pierce is expected to operate as Daniel Jones' clear top outside field-stretching weapon this season, while Josh Downs (calf), Keenan Allen and Tyler Warren (groin) mostly work in the short and intermediate areas. | |
| 9/3/2026 2:45:00 PM | Gainwell is one of three running backs on Tampa Bay's 53-man roster, along with Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker (undisclosed), the latter of whom didn't practice Wednesday, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. |
| Gainwell signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the Buccaneers in March after leading the Steelers with 73 catches in the 2025 regular season. He's likely to fill a change-of-pace role while playing primarily in passing situations, much like Rachaad White did for the past couple seasons in a Buccaneers backfield that's expected to be led by Irving as long as the latter stays healthy. Tucker could be a thorn in the side of both Gainwell and Irving from a fantasy perspective if Tucker reprises his red-zone role from 2025, which helped him punch in a team-high seven rushing touchdowns. | |
| 9/3/2026 12:44:00 PM | Lawrence will have a new backup in 2026, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Jaguars traded for Quinn Ewers from the Dolphins on Saturday. |
| Ewers was retained on the 53-man roster after final cuts, while Nick Mullens was released during cut-down day, though Mullens subsequently signed with the practice squad. Lawrence remains locked in as the team's starting QB on the heels of a 2025 regular season in which he threw for 4,007 yards and a career-high 29 passing touchdowns. The first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has exceeded 4,000 passing yards in three of his first five NFL seasons. | |
| 9/2/2026 8:07:00 PM | Prescott didn't log any snaps during the Cowboys' three-game preseason schedule. |
| Prescott has had WR CeeDee Lamb to throw to since 2020, but the addition of George Pickens during the 2025 offseason helped the quarterback rack up the second-most passing yards in a season (4,552) of his 10-year career. Additionally, Prescott also tossed 30 TDs for the fourth time among his career-high 600 pass attempts. Dallas likely would like that latter number to come down in a more balanced offense, and a new defensive scheme under coordinator Christian Parker could mean Prescott and the offense are in catch-up mode less often. In any case, Prescott has a bonafide top receiving duo at his services, so another 4,000-yard campaign is entirely within the realm of possibilities in 2026 | |
| 9/2/2026 7:28:00 PM | Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Dobbins is "moving well" and on track to play Week 1 against the Chiefs on Monday, Sept. 14, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. |
| Dobbins' practice participation in training camp was limited by a soft-tissue injury, which also caused the veteran running back to be held out of all three of the Broncos' preseason games out of caution. There's no indication that the issue is long-term, and Dobbins heads into Week 1 leading a backfield group that also consists of RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman. Dobbins signed a two-year deal with the Broncos in March following his 2025 campaign with the Chargers, when he turned 153 carries into 772 yards (5.0 YPC) and four touchdowns while adding 11 catches (on 14 targets) for 37 yards across 10 regular-season games. | |
| 9/2/2026 4:27:00 PM | Taylor was rested for the Colts' 25-16 loss to the Lions in Saturday's preseason finale. |
| Prior to the game, head coach Shane Steichen said that he planned on having all of the team's offensive starters minus Taylor and quarterback Daniel Jones take the field for 8-to-12 snaps, per JJ Stankevicz of the Colts' official site. Taylor didn't play in the prior two preseason contests either, as the Colts didn't want to risk an injury to their lead back in advance of the regular season. After missing at least three games every season from 2022 through 2024, the 27-year-old played a full 17-game slate in 2025, playing north of 70 percent of the offensive snaps in all but one of those contests while accounting for 20 touchdowns, amassing 1,585 yards on the ground and setting career highs with 46 receptions and 378 receiving yards. He'll be primed for another hefty workload in 2026, and the Colts are hopeful that Jones' return from a torn ACL can help Taylor avoid the decline in efficiency that he experienced after the Colts' Week 11 bye last season (3.3 yards per carry in his final seven games). | |
| 9/2/2026 2:18:00 PM | Pickens didn't suit up for any of the Cowboys' three preseason games. |
| After surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving threshold just one time in his first three seasons with the Steelers, Pickens broke out with a 93-1,429-9 line on 137 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025 in his first campaign as a Cowboy. He was helped by the fact fellow WR CeeDee Lamb missed three contests due to injury, but Pickens still exhibited a tremendous rapport with QB Dak Prescott. Dallas extended the franchise tag to Pickens this offseason, and he signed it in April without reaching an extension before the deadline in mid-July, meaning he again will be in the midst of a contract year in 2026. | |
| 9/1/2026 7:13:00 PM | Howell is set to be the backup quarterback to Dak Prescott for the Cowboys' Week 1 game against the Giants. |
| The Cowboys waived Joe Milton on Tuesday, leaving Howell as the sole reserve quarterback on the 53-man roster. The 25-year-old signed with the team in March after failing to have his contract extended by the Eagles during the 2025 season. The 2022 fifth-round pick by the Commanders will now start his second NFL contract with a division rival. | |
| 9/1/2026 2:45:00 PM | Coach Ben Johnson said Burden (groin) will participate in Tuesday's practice, Zack Pearson of BearReport reports. |
| After suffering a groin injury during an Aug. 8 practice, Burden was expected to be sidelined for about one month, putting his availability for Week 1 in question. Since then, he missed the Bears' entire preseason slate but returned to individual drills last Wednesday. Chicago takes on the Panthers on the road in their regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13. | |
| 8/31/2026 7:26:00 PM | Bradley (thumb) reverted to Jacksonville's injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. |
| Bradley was waived/injured Sunday and subsequently reverted to IR after going unclaimed on waivers. He'll have to miss the entire 2026 season unless he works out an injury settlement with the Jaguars. Bradley played in all three preseason contests for Jacksonville and hurt his thumb in the final one, though he initially played through the injury. | |
| 8/31/2026 5:02:00 PM | Grupe has a clearer path to the Jets' kicking job after the team released Jason Sanders on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. |
| After being claimed off waivers earlier Monday, Grupe now is the lone kicker on the Jets' roster after the team elected to let Sanders go. Grupe appears to be on track to serve as the team's starting kicker this season after he went 29-for-37 on field-goal attempts while making all 25 of his extra-point tries over 16 regular-season contests with the Saints and Colts last year. | |
| 8/30/2026 7:06:00 PM | The Seahawks moved Charbonnet (knee) from the active/PUP list to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. |
| This move was merely procedural, as Charbonnet is still far away from returning to action following the ACL tear he suffered in his left knee in the divisional round on Jan. 17. In any case, he'll be sidelined for at least the first four contests of the season, while some combination of rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price and holdover George Holani will pace Seattle's backfield Week 1 and beyond. | |
| 8/29/2026 4:45:00 PM | The Dolphins traded Ewers to the Jaguars on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| The trade will send Ewers to Jacksonville in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Ewers appeared to be ahead of both Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski for the Dolphins' backup quarterback job behind starter Malik Willis. Instead, Ewers will head to Jacksonville, and it's unclear whether he'll be the team's QB2 behind Trevor Lawrence or whether the 2025 seventh-rounder will drop behind Nick Mullens on the depth chart. | |
| 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. | |
| 8/27/2026 7:49:00 PM | Brown isn't in uniform for Thursday's preseason game in Cleveland, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. |
| Brown thus won't see any game action during this exhibition season. He's expected to serve as the top target for QB Drake Maye in 2026, considering the key asset (a 2028 first-round pick) sent to Philadelphia to gain his services. In seven campaigns as a pro, Brown has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards six times while racking up 58 total TDs in 105 regular-season contests. | |
| 8/22/2026 11:28:00 PM | Elliott connected on all three of his extra-point tries and did not attempt any field goals in the Eagles' 24-21 preseason loss to the Patriots on Saturday. |
| The veteran kicker got some work in ahead of the regular season in Saturday's close loss. Elliott doesn't have any training camp competition despite the fact he's coming off back-to-back seasons with sub-80.0 percent success rates on field goals. Through two preseason games, Elliott has yet to attempt a field goal and has been perfect on his four PATs. | |
| 8/17/2026 8:56:00 PM | Overshown (lower body) participated at the Cowboys' training camp practice Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. |
| Overshown was dealing with a lower-body injury at practice last week, and he did not participate in the team's 17-7 preseason victory over the Seahawks on Saturday. The inside linebacker was handling first-team reps at practice Monday, and he now appears to be good to go ahead of the team's preseason matchup with the Cardinals on Saturday, if Dallas chooses to play its starters. | |
| 4/17/2026 1:40:00 PM | Anderson agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension with the Texans on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Anderson's extension includes $134 million in guaranteed money and gives him the highest salary in NFL history for a non-quarterback. This contract also includes a no-trade clause. The 2023 first-round pick has been among the most dominant defenders in the NFL since entering the league, generating 30.0 sacks through three regular seasons. | |
| 3/23/2026 2:36:00 PM | Rozeboom agreed to terms on a contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Rozeboom logged 15 regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2025, totaling 122 total tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. The 29-year-old now looks set to slide into a starting role at inside linebacker alongside fellow free-agent signee Alex Anzalone, presumably relegating 2025 breakout SirVocea Dennis to a reserve gig. | |
| 3/11/2026 9:05:00 AM | Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) is slated to sign a four-year, $112 million contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| After a trade agreement that would have sent star defensive end Maxx Crosby (from the Raiders) to the Ravens in exchange for two first-round picks fell apart, it didn't take long for the team to pivot to adding another impact pass rusher. Hendrickson is recovering from December core-muscle surgery, but he'll presumably be past the issue once Baltimore's offseason program begins. In seven games with the Bengals in 2025, the 31-year-old recorded 16 tackles and four sacks, but in both of the two seasons prior to that Hendrickson racked up 17.5 sacks. | |
| 3/9/2026 3:47:00 PM | Taylor agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract with the Titans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Taylor's contract, which can be officially signed at the start of the new league year Wednesday, includes $42 million in guaranteed money. He's expected to be a key piece in Tennessee's secondary after notching 52 interceptions in 64 regular-season games with the Saints across his first four NFL seasons. | |
| 2/9/2026 9:23:00 PM | Jones made 11 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. |
| The Seahawks shut down the Patriots' running backs to the tune of just 42 yards on 13 carries (3.1 YPC). Jones was instrumental in that effort, as he was all season. The 2021 third-round pick rung up 151 tackles (80 solo), 0.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and six interceptions through 18 games, including the postseason. Jones has two years left on his contract and will carry a team-friendly $11.0 million cap hit in 2026 as the Seahawks look to defend their title. | |
| 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. | |
