SI.com's John Shipley reports that Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten delivered a strong performance in Wednesday's joint practice with the Panthers. His review just might provide worthwhile info about both Tuten and the Jacksonville defense.
Jacksonville's Travis Hunter played 28 snaps on defense and just 2 on offense in 11-on-11 work in Wednesday's joint practice with the Panthers, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. That fits the recent camp trend: Hunter has been playing much more defense than offense.
Patriots WR A.J. Brown turned in what Mass Live's Mark Daniels called his best practice of training camp Wednesday. It's probably no coincidence that it came against his former team, the Eagles. Brown caught all 7 of his targets, including "multiple highlight-reel catches," per Daniels.
Carnell Tate collided with Kevin Winston Jr while making a catch on Monday that caused him to leave practice early. Turron Davenport of ESPN reported that Tate has been held out of practice since. Titans head coach Robert Saleh offered a different reason for Tate’s absence, saying he was held out of practice due to stiffness rather than the collision from a couple days prior, per Jon Burton of NC5 Nashville.
Christian McCaffrey has missed several practices dating back to early last week due to “tightness.” Unsourced speculation suggested that McCaffrey was sitting out for a new extension in response to the recent lucrative deals handed out at his position to Bijan Robinson, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs. But 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan dismissed the idea, saying “I think they make a lot of assumptions, and that would be one that they’re wrong on,” per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.
After signing with the Titans in his first stint in free agency, Wan’Dale Robinson appears primed for another high-target season. Titans beat writer Easton Freeze, who was at training camp practice this morning, said that “Robinson hauled in at least five balls by my count, with more than that in terms of targets.”
A few days ahead of the Colts’ second preseason game, Tyler Warren left practice with what appeared to be a groin injury, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Shortly after, Holder followed up: “He’s now back with teammates on the sideline, still in uniform, but without a helmet,” suggesting it doesn't seem to be a major injury.
Steelers WR Michael Pittman is dealing with a "minor" hamstring injury, according to Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh. Pittman has been out for a week and a half but expects to be ready for Week 1, per Farabaugh.
Texans WR Jayden Higgins will miss the 2026 season after suffering an ACL tear in Tuesday's practice, according to multiple reports. (It's not yet clear which leg he injured.)
Saints RB Alvin Kamara left a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the injury was a sprained MCL and will miss at least the next month with the injury. That sets up RB Travis Etienne for a full workload and makes Kamara undraftable in upcoming fantasy drafts.
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan returned to practice today from a leg injury. He missed a little over two weeks with the injury, but appeared to be a full participant according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara left a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury, reported by Nick Underhill of Neworleans.Football. HC Kellen Moore confirmed after the joint practice, though he declined to comment on the extent of the knee injury. Underhill also reported that Kamara did not tear anything and will be out a few weeks with the injury.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston is "not expected to miss much, if any," time with the lower-body injury he suffered in Tuesday's practice, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. He's "totally fine," a source told Schefter. We'll let you know if something changes with Johnston's status, but for now, consider his fantasy stock unaffected.
49ers WR Mike Evans exited Tuesday's joint practice with the Chargers and did not return. He initially had his left foot wrapped in ice before later getting his quad wrapped. HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward that it's the same quad that kept Evans out for two weeks earlier this month.
Browns HC Todd Monken said he wants to get the ball to WR KC Concepcion "as often as we can." We got a glimpse of Cleveland's plans for the rookie in the preseason opener, when Concepcion tallied 4 targets and 1 carry on 25 offensive snaps. He also returned a punt for 31 yards.
The Athletic's James Boyd projects Seth McGowan as the Colts' No. 2 RB and for RB D.J. Giddens to be cut. Those two were battling for the backup RB job, but Giddens has missed most of camp with a hamstring injury. That positions McGowan as the handcuff to RB Jonathan Taylor.
Shortly after scoring a TD during a joint practice between the Chargers and 49ers, Quentin Johnston went down with a lower-body injury. Kris Rhim of ESPN said that “Johnston just came up limping after attempting to make a leaping catch on the sideline.”
Keon Coleman was diagnosed with a sprained toe after suffering the injury in the preseason opener, according to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe. The injury has Coleman in a walking boot and will cost him practice time, but Bills head coach Joe Brady didn’t sound overly concerned.
Jayden Higgins, one of the most impressive players in Texans camp, went down in pain during practice. He got up on his own, but his day ended early, and Demeco Ryans had no update as Higgins continued to be evaluated for a leg injury, per Texans beat writer Cole Thompson.
The Giants are signing Najee Harris to a one-year deal, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nearly 11 months after tearing his achilles, Harris is joining a backfield with Cam Skattebo, who’s coming off a major injury of his own.
