Veteran WR DeVonta Smith also not practicing still with a hamstring injury of his own. Updates to come this week hopefully. - Per New Raven's HC Jesse Minter: WR Zay Flowers considered day-to-day with quad contusion. - Via @JordanRaanan: "Malik Nabers (knee) trending towards being ready for Week 1 barring setback". 📈 - Packers Reporter @RobDemovsky: "TE Tucker Kraft is back running routes at camp practice as he continues ramping up from ACL rehab." - Lions' HC Dan Campbell on RB Jahmyr Gibbs Season-Outlook: "We're gonna push him, because we think this kid can be one of the best, if not the best. We've only scratched the surface of him." 🚀 - Colts' HC Shane Steichen asked about WR Josh Downs: "Downs' groin injury is not serious and is day-to-day at this current time." - Per @RapSheet: "CLE QB Deshaun Watson "feels" more likely than QB Shedeur Sanders to start Week 1." - Arizona Cardinals BEAT: Rookie RB Jeremiyah Love taking first team reps over veteran RB Tyler Allgeier in team scrimmage on Sunday. - Via @AdamSchefter: "Patriots TE Hunter Henry is signing a two-year, $16 million extension worth up to $20 million and includes $14.5 million guaranteed and a $4.2 million signing bonus." - Reports from Minnesota after Annual Sunday Night Practice: 2nd-Year QB J.J. McCarthy "suddenly making things interesting" in the QB battle against newly signed veteran QB Kyler Murray, Via @WillRagatz: "I still think Murray has to be considered the favorite to win the job. But at some point, the Vikings will want to see him show consistent execution within their offense across multiple days in a row. At the very least, McCarthy is making things interesting." - Charger's HC Jim Harbaugh on 2nd-Year WR Tre' Harris: "I have him right there with Ladd [McConkey] and Q as our top guys." 👀 - INJURY UPDATE: Reports out of KC are that WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has returned to practice after missing consecutive sessions. Did some offensive work with QB Patrick Mahomes and headed to the trainer tent when starting Team drills. (Likely intended for 1st day back). - Lions RB Isiah Pacheco sprained his MCL, but HC Dan Campbell believes his running back should be ready for the regular-season opener. - With Veteran Lions backup QB Teddy Bridgewater deciding to step away from football, Detroit has signed veteran QB Josh Dobbs to a one-year, $1.425 million deal with $475k fully guaranteed. - Bills OC Pete Carmichael on RB James Cook: “Any time you can get the ball in his hands, you have an opportunity for a big play. I think he can bring value not only in the run game but in the pass game as well." The reports have been majorly positive and consistent all off-season w/Buffalo looking to get Cook more passing work this season. 🔥 - Via @Connor_J_Hughes on NYJ RB Breece Hall: "[Jets] are planning to utilize Breece Hall more prominently as a lead back in 2026." - More Good News out of Kansas City: WR Rashee Rice and Rookie WRs Camp Standout Cyrus Allen both in 11-on-11s today. First time both have done that on the same day. (per @mattderrick) 👏 - Per @DavidFurones_: "TE Greg Dulcich, now out of the red jersey today, holds on for a contested short sideline catch against Michael Taaffe." Good note that Dulcich is indeed back in action for camp! 👍 - Steeler's WR Michael Pittman Jr (leg) was NOT spotted at Monday's camp practice, later mentioned by HC Mike McCarthy he did get injured in Saturday's session but no comment on severity. Veteran WR DK Metcalf also absent from practice on Monday, but no injury reported, could be vet rest day. - Green Bay HC Matt LaFleur said he’s “not anticipating” either WR Jayden Reed (ankle) or WR Matthew Golden (toe) to return to practice today after they both missed practice yesterday. No further reports have mentioned if just cautionary days off, or if more than that. One to keep an eye on. - Minnesota BEAT @alec_lewis: "If you are searching for standouts at training camp, look for [Jordan] Mason. The 27-year-old returned this summer in exceptional shape, and his explosiveness shows up in team drills. O’Connell trusts Aaron Jones implicitly, but Mason’s burst and vision fit perfectly with the overhauled run concepts." 👀 - Multiple Reports out of Denver: WR Jaylen Waddle (soft tissue) is still not participating in practice but is in attendance catching balls and studying the playbook. HC Sean Payton mentioned last week he should be returning at some point this week. Will keep an eye out. On another note, WR Marvin Mims Jr. did return to practice for Monday's session. - Jag's BEAT @_John_Shipley on 2nd-Year RB LeQuint Allen: “Allen was the clear runaway winner for the third-down back role during the scrimmage, playing nearly every third down and even coming down with a touchdown catch in the red-zone from Lawrence. Allen's spot as the Jaguars' top passing-down back is as secure as anyone else's spot on the roster.” - Raider's @ryanmcfadden_ RB Takeaways: "It's hard to evaluate running backs, especially on days when the team is not in pads. But there have been plays from Jeanty and Washington that show they have the potential to be a formidable duo. Mike Washington Jr. has split reps with both the 1st and 2nd Team." - Steeler's BEAT @FarabaughFB: "Certainly appears that Roman Wilson will be the WR3 in the slot, but if the Steelers have an injury on the outside, Rookie Germie Bernard will step in first." - CLE HC Todd Monken: "Rookie WR Denzel Boston "deserves" the promotion and will be workin with the 1st team as the starting "X" receiver so veteran WR Jerry Jeudy can be "moved around the offense where he is best at". - Via @samwarren83: "Rookie WR Malik Benson continues to flash. Aside from the Nailor TD, he had the highlight of practice: a leaping, acrobatic grab over Darien Porter on the left sideline. Worked with 1s, 2s and 3s today. A guy to watch in Thursday’s preseason opener." Benson is stacking multiple big days in camp so far! 📈 - Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski on Rookie WR Zachariah Branch: "We give a little more to Branch every day", noted that he is "wired the right way." - Thank YOU for Reading!
