While the resounding feeling is that Kirk Cousins will open the season as the starting quarterback for the Raiders, the team still hasn't officially named a starter. The team’s head coach Kilint Kubiak avoided announcing their starting quarterback decision the morning following its final preseason game, saying “I still don’t think we need to name anybody.”

Emeka Egbuka is traveling with the team to Jacksonville for the team’s final preseason game but isn’t expected to play as he continues to rest his toe injury, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. Auman says he would be surprised to see Egbuka practice next week as well, as the focus and expectation are to have him back for opening weekend the following week.

Titans WR Wan’Dale Robinson was evaluated for a concussion after yesterday's joint practice with the Bears.

49ers RB Kaelon Black appears to be the frontrunner for the No. 2 job, according to Noah Furtado of the SF Chronicle. Black was a third-round pick in this year's draft and widely viewed as a reach after he wasn't invited to the NFL Combine.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson should be "good to go" for Week 1, a source tells The Boston Globe's Christopher Price. Henderson hurt his right ankle on Monday but avoided a serious injury, according to Price. We haven't moved Henderson in the RB rankings due to the ankle, although he has fallen a few spots this month with consistent reporting that Rhamondre Stevenson will open the season as New England's clear lead back.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is "trending in the right direction" for Week 1, according to 98.7 Phoenix's John Gambadoro. "Needs to keep progressing though," Gambadoro adds. "Still a ways to go but looking positive."

Packers RB Josh Jacobs was formally charged with two misdemeanors on Thursday, battery and criminal damage to property.
