Colts QB Daniel Jones has been a full participant in training camp, according to The Athletic's James Boyd, taking every first-team rep across the first four training camp practices. Teammates say he looks like the same guy who opened last season strong before suffering a fibula fracture and then a torn Achilles.
The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes Browns QB Shedeur Sanders “might be taking the lead” over Deshaun Watson in the competition for the starting job. Sanders and Deshaun Watson have taken turns running the first-team offense, but Jackson suggested that the second-year QB has outplayed Watson so far.
Bears S Coby Bryant suffered a left knee injury in Monday's practice that's expected to cost him the next eight to 10 weeks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bryant hyperextended the knee and incured a bone bruise as well as a small fracture. He's not expected to need surgery.
Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich missed his second straight day of practice Monday, according to multiple reports. Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports that the injury "is not considered serious."
Patriots WR A.J. Brown dislocated his left thumb in Monday's practice but reportedly did not miss any time for it.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion "did not suffer anything serious" when he went down hard on his right shoulder at practice Monday. "The team is expecting him to be fine," Schultz added.
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten got off to a strong start in training camp while RB Chris Rodriguez was limited coming off a foot injury. But Rodriguez was a full-go for Monday's padded practice and impressed, according to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley.
49ers WR Mike Evans missed Monday's practice with a quad strain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. San Francisco already lost WR Ricky Pearsall for the season, and WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring), WR Christian Kirk (calf), RB Kaelon Black (adductor), and RB Jordan James (rib) are also currently sidelined.
Update: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Evans' injury "very minor."
Bears HC Ben Johnson said Monday that RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a soft-tissue injury. “We're taking it day-by-day,” Johnson added. “It should be on the shorter side.”
Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty changed his diet this offseason and is down to 207 pounds, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. Jeanty was 211 pounds at the Combine. It's a small change but one that will hopefully result in more big plays from Jeanty this season.
Patriots WR Romeo Doubs was quiet early in training camp, but he excelled yesterday catching all 5 targets in a seven-on-seven session. What may be more interesting is Doubs' role in the Josh McDaniels offense. According to Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar, Doubs’ primary role will be from the “inside” instead of the X outside WR he played on the Packers. That big slot role could open up easier targets for Doubs, giving him weekly fantasy upside if he's on the same page as QB Drake Maye.
The offseason arrival of OC Pete Carmichael sparked plenty of speculation that we'd see more receiving work for Buffalo RBs in 2026. Training camp has supported that notion so far.
Jaguars WR Parker Washington has been a daily standout in training camp, drawing praise from coaches and media alike. He looks primed to open the season as Jacksonville's best target bet.
You'd be forgiven if you didn't even realize that the Panthers have been playing TEs each year. The team hasn't ranked higher than 27th in total tight end PPR points since 2019. That was Greg Olsen's last year with the team; he finished 13th among TEs in total PPR points and 17th in points per game. So will any Carolina TE reach fantasy relevance this year? If so, The Athletic's Joe Person thinks Mitchell Evans has the best chance.
The Patriots plan to increase their offensive pace this season, which will be their second under OC Josh McDaniels (for his latest stint, that is). Last year's offense ranked third-slowest in the league at 30.6 seconds per play. They ranked 24th in 2021 (29.6 seconds), McDaniels' previous most recent Pats season. Before that came a No. 20 ranking in 2020 after eight straight seasons of finishing inside the top 12:
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that the Rams think TE Terrance Ferguson could "grow into one of the NFL's best tight ends." Per Breer, Ferguson put together a "fantastic offseason," showcasing the versatility to play multiple alignments and the run-after-catch skills the Rams covet.
Chiefs WRs Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen left Saturday's training camp practice with injuries, but neither is serious. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Worthy hurt a shoulder but "is believed to be OK." Allen, meanwhile, has been diagnosed with a shin bruise, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see when these guys are able to get back on the practice field, but it doesn't sound like either is in danger of missing the start of the season. Worthy remains primed to open as Kansas City's No. 2 WR, while Allen seems to be making a strong push for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart behind Rashee Rice, Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft returned to practice this week, less than nine months after surgery to repair a torn ACL and partially torn LCL and meniscus in his right knee. Kraft said his doctors told him his knee looks like it's more than a year removed from surgery. "[The doctor] told me my knee looks spectacular, almost like he had never seen rehabilitation like mine," he said. "So the fact that we're getting those results, the data will speak for itself and my comeback is ever-ascending day by day."
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs are "evaluating" a shoulder injury for WR Xavier Worthy.
Niners WR Ricky Pearsall will have surgery to repair the PCL in his right knee and will miss the season, the team announced Saturday.
