New Orleans Saints center Will Clapp (foot) has suffered a serious foot injury that is believed to be season-ending, according to Jordan Schultz. Clapp is awaiting final confirmation on his test results, but will most likely require surgery. The 29-year-old has played in 66 career NFL games (22 starts) across seven NFL seasons. He spent 2024 with the Buffalo Bills but appeared in just one game. Clapp was in line to be a depth piece on the interior of the offensive line in New Orleans. Without him, Kyle Hergel could be the next man up if Saints starting center Erik McCoy were to get injured.

The Tennessee Titans have signed free-agent quarterback
Trevor Siemian and waived fellow signal-caller
Tim Boyle. Siemian spent time with the Titans in 2020 and 2024, but he has never appeared in a regular-season game with the team. The 33-year-old debuted with the Denver Broncos in 2015 and has since played in 40 games (33 starts), completed 58.5% of passes, and thrown 44 touchdowns against 32 interceptions. Siemian will now replace Boyle as the Titans' third quarterback behind rookie starter
Cam Ward and veteran backup
Brandon Allen. Boyle completed just 4-of-13 passes for 24 yards and two interceptions in the Titans' 29-7 preseason-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. Allen didn't shine either, going 6-for-12 for 62 yards and a pick. He'll have an opportunity to improve when the Titans face the Atlanta Falcons in their second preseason game on Friday. It's unclear if Siemian will see any action.

The San Francisco 49ers have placed running back
Ameer Abdullah (ribs) on season-ending Injured Reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Abdullah, who just joined the 49ers as a free agent on July 31, suffered a rib injury in a preseason-opening 30-9 loss to the Denver Broncos this past Saturday. While the 32-year-old was unlikely to make much of an impact this season (if any), it's another hit to San Francisco's depth in the backfield. The team is already set to go multiple weeks without injured
Christian McCaffrey backups
Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and
Jordan James (finger). The 49ers brought back
Jeff Wilson Jr. in free agency on Sunday in the wake of Abdullah's injury to provide some much-needed healthy depth behind McCaffrey.

Cleveland Browns running back
Pierre Strong Jr. (undisclosed) returned to practice as a limited participant on Monday. Strong had been down with an undisclosed injury. After appearing in 14 games and rushing for 108 yards on 26 carries last year, Strong is competing for a backup role this summer. He's currently third on the Browns' unofficial depth chart behind
Jerome Ford and rookie fourth-round pick
Dylan Sampson. The team also has rookie second-rounder
Quinshon Judkins, who remains without a contract as he deals with an ongoing misdemeanor battery/domestic violence case. The longer Judkins is away, the more opportunities Strong should receive. Strong didn't play in the Browns' 30-10 preseason-opening win in Carolina last week, and it's unclear if he'll suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles this Saturday.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed) once again did not practice on Monday, according to Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun. Mitchell, who's dealing with an undisclosed injury, hasn't practiced since an impressive preseason-opening performance against the Indianapolis Colts last Thursday. The 23-year-old carried the ball nine times for a team-high 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 24-16 win. Mitchell missed all but five games last season while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in 2023, his rookie campaign. If he's healthy this year, Mitchell will vie for touches behind superstar workhorse
Derrick Henry. The Ravens are set to play their next preseason game on Saturday in Dallas, but it's unclear if Mitchell will be available to follow up on his productive showing from last week.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver
Jordan Watkins (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain and will miss a month, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Watkins was injured in Saturday's 30-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in the preseason opener. Before getting hurt, he caught three of his six targets for 56 yards. The 23-year-old was a fourth-round pick back in April but might not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season in early September. Watkins wasn't going to be a starter on offense in his rookie season, but there is certainly opportunity in a banged-up Niners receivers room with
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) potentially not making his season debut until Week 6. With
Jauan Jennings and
Jacob Cowing also dealing with injuries in training camp,
Demarcus Robinson has a big opportunity to impress the coaching staff.

Cleveland Browns rookie fifth-round quarterback
Shedeur Sanders is listed as the QB4 on the team's second unofficial depth chart of the preseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Veteran
Joe Flacco is listed as the starter, with
Kenny Pickett (hamstring) behind him and rookie
Dillon Gabriel as the QB3. While Sanders was not perfect by any means in the preseason opener last Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, he did well for himself by going 14-for-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns while adding 19 rushing yards on four carries. The 23-year-old has gotten more opportunities in training camp with both Pickett and Gabriel missing time with hamstring injuries, but his strong performance over the weekend hasn't really moved the needle in terms of Sanders moving up the QB depth chart in Cleveland. He's going to need to show more.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that the team's starters will play "about a quarter" in the second preseason game this Saturday against the Green Bay Packers. All eyes will be on the ongoing quarterback competition between
Daniel Jones and
Anthony Richardson Sr. Jones will start Saturday's game, but Richardson will take the majority of the first-half reps. Receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. (groin) didn't play in the preseason opener, and neither did running back
Jonathan Taylor, but both should get back on the field for their first preseason action of the year this weekend. Both Pittman and Taylor will probably only see a few series with Jones this Saturday if they end up being active. Taylor will once again be the Colts' unquestioned RB1 in 2025, with
Khalil Herbert and rookie
DJ Giddens battling for backup duties.

Houston Texans tight end
Brevin Jordan (knee) had to be carted off the field at training camp practice on Monday with a knee injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Jordan was in an extreme amount of pain and had the rest of the team huddled around him. The 25-year-old came back from a torn ACL last year that limited him to just two games, so this would be a brutal blow for him if he suffered another serious knee injury just before the start of the 2025 campaign. There should be an update provided on Jordan either late on Monday or Tuesday morning. If he's out for an extended period of time,
Cade Stover and
Irv Smith Jr. will have a better chance of earning backup duties for the Texans this year behind starter
Dalton Schultz.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa "has been turning heads in camp and is working his way into a role within the offense," according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. The Lions love "his all-out effort every snap, his strong hands/ability at the catch point, and the way his blocking in the run game stands out," which is important for head coach Dan Campbell. Schultz thinks TeSlaa is a player to watch this year, especially after the Lions made a bold move to trade up to grab him in the third round in this year's NFL draft. The 6-foot-4, 214-pounder has 57 receiving yards and a touchdown in two preseason games working with backup quarterback
Kyle Allen, and if he continues to produce, he could factor into the WR3 role alongside
Tim Patrick this year. TeSlaa's college production didn't stand out, but he has the size and athleticism to make some noise.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn't thought about it much, but said that wide receiver
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) might return in Week 6. General manager John Lynch already said that he didn't think Aiyuk would be ready for Week 1 of the regular season in early September, but now it looks like the 27-year-old pass-catcher will be out much longer after tearing both his MCL and ACL in his right knee last October. Aiyuk is expected to begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which will require him to miss at least the first four games. He has not practiced with the team at all this year. Obviously, this is a big hit to Aiyuk's 2025 fantasy value. Aiyuk is stash-worthy in fantasy leagues that have designated Injured Reserve spots. In Aiyuk's absence, both
Jauan Jennings (calf) and
Ricky Pearsall stand to benefit as key members of the passing attack.

Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl offensive guard Landon Dickerson (knee), who suffered a meniscus injury on Sunday night, will have minor knee surgery in the coming days and is considered week-to-week, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport adds that the team's goal is to have him available for Week 1 of the regular season on Sept. 4 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. It's ultimately positive news for Philly's offensive line, although the 26-year-old may still not be ready for the start of the regular season as the Eagles begin their Super Bowl defense. The Eagles also lost Kenyon Green (shoulder) to an injury during the preseason opener last Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals, so it's possible that Matt Pryor or rookie Trevor Keegan get pushed into a starting role come Week 1.
