Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles indicated Saturday that it's not yet certain that WR Emeka Egbuka's injured toe will be ready for Week 1 action.

There's only one sure thing in the Giants backfield as of this writing: Cam Skattebo's set to lead the group. Behind him, though, we're still learning what the backup and supplementary plan will be. But murmurs about RB Tyrone Tracy being on the roster bubble might have been premature.

Ravens K Tyler Loop didn't face any competition in training camp or the preseason, but his performance in Friday night's finale might change that before Week 1. Loop missed left on attempts from 51 and 58 yards against Washington, which don't seem like terrible flubs. But new HC Jesse Minter expressed concern after the game.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims left Thursday night's preseason finale with a foot injury. But it doesn't sound like anything that will cost him regular-season time. That doesn't mean, however, that Mims is ready for a meaningful role on offense.

The Jets appeared to settle on Jason Sanders as their kicker earlier this week when they waived Cade York on Tuesday. But Sanders missed his lone extra-point attempt in Friday night's preseason finale against the Giants, and his lone FG attempt fell short from 54 yards out. That could motivate the team to work out more kickers ahead of the regular-season opener.

The Steelers rested starters for their final preseason game Friday night, and that group included third-year WR Roman Wilson. Rookie Germie Bernard, meanwhile, joined WRs Brandon Smith and Max Hurleman in the starting lineup, alongside QB Will Howard.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said after Friday's preseason game that he expects RB Josh Jacobs to remain on the roster this season. Jacobs is facing two misdemeanor charges for a May incident that remains under review by the NFL. "You've got to let everything play out," LaFleur said. "But I anticipate him being a member of our football team."

Dolphins WR Chris Bell made his preseason debut on Friday night, catching 2 of 5 targets for 22 yards on 11 routes. He confirmed afterward that he expects to play Week 1.

JJ McCarthy was announced as the Vikings' starting quarterback for their final preseason game, but Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports that he won't play tonight. McCarthy reportedly suffered a minor ankle injury last weekend and, after practicing lightly Monday and Tuesday, doesn't feel comfortable playing.

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.

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak talked about using RB Ashton Jeanty as a workhorse back in May. Since then, Jeanty suffered an ankle injury and RB Mike Washington has impressed in preseason action. That might have Kubiak rethinking his backfield plans.

Titans WR Wan’Dale Robinson was evaluated for a concussion after yesterday's joint practice with the Bears. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the team doesn't believe he suffered one and will continue to monitor him, but Robinson appears set to avoid the concussion protocol and any additional missed time.

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. But he seems to have bounced back from an early-August thigh injury and made a strong camp impression, putting him ahead of second-year RB Jordan James, who missed part of camp with a fractured rib.

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. Those charges are less serious than the potential charges tied to his initial arrest, which included felony strangulation and suffocation. The formal charges also carry no domestic-abuse modifier. Jacobs' first court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 17.

Cedric Tillman is being released by the Browns after the team spent a third-round pick on him three years ago, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Tillman spent five years at the University of Tennessee before playing three seasons with the Browns.

Wan’Dale Robinson left practice to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a massive hit in the Titans' joint practice with the Bears, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Saleh called the hit on Robinson “cheap,” as it cleared the benches between the teams.

Josh Jacobs now faces two criminal charges, per Wisconsin court records: misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. The charges stem from an alleged domestic violence incident in May.
