Bo Melton Commands 11 Targets On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Bo Melton consistently popped up in the passing game, commanding 11 targets during Thursday's preseason game against the Chicago Bears.

Lakiem Williams Recovers Fumble On Special Teams

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lakiem Williams racked up one quarterback hit and one fumble recovery during Thursday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears.

DeeJay Dallas Factors Into Receiving Game

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas did a little bit of everything against the Chicago Bears on Thursday evening, getting involved as a runner, receiver, and special teamer.

Seattle Seahawks running back Darwin Thompson rushed six times for 34 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's preseason game against the Chicago Bears.

Daniel Jones: "Neck Is Great"

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones informed reporters on Thursday he underwent a non-football-related procedure on his neck during the winter. However, per the signal-caller, it wasn't associated with the issue that caused him to miss six games last season. Nevertheless, although the 25-year-old also conveyed his "neck is great," he must now turn his […]

Chris Jones May Play Versus Washington

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (back) has a chance to play on Saturday during the preseason matchup against Washington.

The 28-year-old has been in the league for […]

Mecole Hardman Has A Shot To Play On Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (groin) has a chance to suit up for Saturday's preseason game versus the Commanders, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Zach Wilson Has "Outside Chance" For Week 1

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) has an "outside chance" to play in Week 1, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The signal-caller had a meniscus trim after tearing it during the preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While things could have turned out much worse for Wilson, he is also dealing with a […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Tristan Wirfs (core) exited Thursday's joint practice with the Tennessee Titans. Although there hasn't been much information released surrounding the issue, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported the All-Pro is dealing "with some sort of left core injury." The team should have an update on his condition relatively soon. […]

Kyle Philips Impresses In Joint Practice

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Kyle Philips stole the show in joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Philips continued to get open all day, and he especially stood out near the goal line.

Jaylen Warren Surpasses Benny Snell Jr. As No. 2 RB

It appears that Pittsburgh Steelers undrafted rookie running back Jaylen Warren has supplanted Benny Snell Jr. as the team's No. 2 running back behind Najee Harris. Warren has done nothing but impress at training camp and has benefitted from first-team repetitions with Harris and Snell banged up a bit. The 23-year-old probably isn't worth anything […]

Michael Gallup Runs Routes Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) was running routes to close out Thursday's training camp practice against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday. It's the first time that Gallup has run routes since he had surgery to fix a torn ACL on Jan. 2, so it marks a significant step in his recovery. He […]

Joe Burrow Returns To Team Drills

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (appendix), who had an appendectomy on July 26 after his appendix ruptured, took part in team drills at training camp practice for the first time on Wednesday.

Ryan has mostly looked good in training […]

Kadarius Toney Takes Part In Practice Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (knee) wasn't in pads for training camp practice on Thursday, but he took part in individual drills and looked spry.

No Timetable For Tom Brady's Return

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles didn't have a timetable for quarterback Tom Brady's (personal) return to the team when asked on Thursday. "We'll see. We'll talk about it next week. I'm not concerned about it right now. We're trying to practice against Tennessee and play a game. I said sometime after Tennessee. There's […]

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Ty Chandler (ankle) isn't practicing at training camp on Thursday due to an ankle injury, but the team is hopeful that he can play in the second preseason game on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers.

According to Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, there's a good chance that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) returns to training camp practice next week.

Sterling Shepard Making Strides

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) looked great while running routes on a back field at training camp on Thursday, and he was very involved on the offensive sideline during practice. Shepard remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list at camp, but it appears that he's getting closer to returning from a […]

J.D. McKissic Misses Practice With Groin Injury

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that running back J.D. McKissic (groin) missed training camp practice on Thursday due to a little tightness in his groin. McKissic's groin injury is unlikely to be very serious, but the Commanders will take a cautious approach with the regular season quickly approaching. He's probably unlikely to play […]

Patrick Mahomes To See Preseason Action Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that the starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, would play as much as the first half in Saturday's second preseason game against the Washington Commanders. Backup Chad Henne will get the game off, so it will be Mahomes and Shane Buechele under center this weekend. Fantasy managers will […]

O.J. Howard Not A Threat To Dawson Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end O.J. Howard has been a slight disappointment this summer in training camp. He's a solid blocker who can help in two-tight end formations, but he doesn't look to be an immediate threat to Dawson Knox for playing time. Howard is a big body, but he's looked slow and has been predictable […]

Khalil Shakir Has Been Outstanding

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakir has had an outstanding training camp this summer, to the point where the team is likely trying to find ways to get him involved on game days. He was initially projected as a slot-only receiver, but he has also received a lot of work on the boundary. Shakir […]

Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis Will Be On The Field A Lot

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes that there isn't much standing in the way of Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis being on the field for 90-plus percent of the offensive snaps this year. Diggs continues to look explosive, and the team will give him more chances for yards after the catch. Davis […]

Bills Backfield Could Become Muddy Committee

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes that the Buffalo Bills running back situation could devolve into a muddy three-person committee this year between Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and rookie James Cook. Singletary is the most experienced in the system, and how he finished last year as the sole trusted back shouldn't be ignored. But the Bills […]
