  • Giants' Braxton Berrios: Nursing soft-tissue injury

    Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Berrios did not play in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins due to a soft-tissue issue, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    The injury is considered a minor one, so Berrios should be able to practice this week and play in the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets on Friday. The veteran wide receiver signed with the Giants in early June after appearing in four regular-season games for the Texans in 2025. If Berrios makes the Giants' 53-man roster for the regular season, then he is expected to see most of his playing time on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

  • Bub Means WR | NO

    Saints' Bub Means: Picks up hamstring injury Saturday

    Means injured his hamstring during Saturday's 34-0 preseason loss to the Rams, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Means went to the blue medical tent during Saturday's game and did not return, finishing with one catch on four targets for five yards. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but it puts him in jeopardy of missing the Saints' preseason finale against the Cowboys on Friday.

  • Chris Bell WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Chris Bell: Nearing return to full practice

    Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Saturday that Bell (knee) is "close" to being cleared to fully participate in practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

    Bell hasn't played in either of the Dolphins' first two preseason games, but he's been steadily increasing his practice activity since being reinstated from the non-football injury list Monday. He's in the final stages of his recovery from surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, a procedure he underwent in December. The rookie third-round pick could have an outside chance of being available for the Dolphins' preseason finale against the Falcons on Friday if he's able to get in a couple of full practices beforehand.

  • CJ Daniels WR | LAR

    Rams' CJ Daniels: Paces LAR pass catchers Saturday

    Daniels caught eight passes on 13 targets for 68 yards during the Rams' 34-0 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday.

    The rookie sixth-rounder saw far more work Saturday than he did in the Rams' preseason opener against the Chiefs. Daniels ended up leading both teams in catches, receiving yards and targets, and he logged receptions of 11, 17 and 11 yards on the Rams' final offensive series of the first half, leading to a 26-yard field goal by Harrison Mevis. Daniels is up to 10 catches on 18 targets for 86 yards through two preseason games, and he has real momentum toward earning a depth spot on the Rams' 53-man roster by the end of training camp. His last opportunity for an in-game audition will take place Thursday in the Rams' preseason finale against the Chargers.

  • Bryce Lance WR | NO

    Saints' Bryce Lance: Tallies two catches in preseason debut

    Lance caught both of his targets for 16 yards during the Saints' 34-0 preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday.

    Lance missed the Saints' preseason opener against the Jaguars due to an undisclosed injury, but he was cleared to play against Los Angeles. Several Saints starters -- including wide receivers Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele and rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) -- were idle for Saturday's exhibition contest, so Lance joined Bub Means and Kevin Austin as the starters at wide receiver. Lance didn't get off to a great start with a holding penalty late in the first quarter, but he did haul in a nice 12-yard pass from Zach Wilson on the final play of the frame. Lance worked with the Saints' first-team offense earlier in the week during joint practice with the Cowboys, and the North Dakota State product could be the team's WR3 behind Olave and Vele for the first few games of the regular season, considering Tyson is expected to miss several weeks due to his hamstring injury. The Saints will wrap up the preseason this Friday against the Cowboys in Dallas.

  • Ja'Kobi Lane WR | BAL

    Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Logs one catch vs. Minnesota

    Lane caught one pass on two targets for nine yards during the Ravens' 13-3 preseason win over the Vikings on Saturday.

    Quarterback Tyler Huntley missed Lane on a deep pass late in the first quarter, but the duo connected on a nine-yard catch early in the second frame, which led to a 49-yard field goal by Tyler Loop two plays later. Lane has been one of the Ravens' standout players in training camp, and the rookie third-rounder flashed that potential in Baltimore's preseason opener against Philadelphia, when he caught three passes on as many targets for 38 yards and a score. Lane could work his way up to the WR2 role behind Zay Flowers with a strong finish to training camp, considering Rashod Bateman is facing charges stemming from a domestic incident in June.

  • Dolphins' Kevin Coleman: Team's leading receiver in preseason loss

    Coleman (undisclosed) caught two of five targets for 32 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Giants.

    Coleman had previously dealt with an undisclosed injury that caused him to miss some practice time, but the rookie fifth-round pick suited up Saturday and paced the team in targets and receiving yards. The Dolphins rested their starters and got an ugly passing performance out of the backups, as Coleman was the only player on the team to exceed 12 receiving yards in the game. Coleman seems to be running well behind rookie third-round pick Caleb Douglas, as well as the more experienced Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell. Fellow rookie WR Chris Bell (knee) could also factor into the mix whenever he's cleared for game action.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Leading receiver in preseason win

    Slayton caught four of six targets for 58 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins.

    Slayton paced the team in receiving yards Saturday, showing a nice rapport with backup QB Jameis Winston. Winston connected with Slayton on his first two passes of the game, picking up gains of six and 29 yards. Starting QB Jaxson Dart was rested Saturday and WR Malik Nabers (knee) has yet to be cleared for game action. Slayton is trying to hold off newcomers Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham for a starting spot once Nabers returns to claim one of the starting roles on the outside.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    49ers' Mike Evans: Back in team drills Saturday

    Evans (quadriceps) took part in 11-on-11 work at Saturday's practice, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Evans has been on and off the practice field in training camp due to bouts with quad injuries, including this past Tuesday's session, when he exited early and was seen with a wrap on his upper left leg. He didn't suit up in either of the 49ers' first two preseason games, but the 13-year pro doesn't necessarily require exhibition reps to serve as QB Brock Purdy's top wide receiver Week 1.

  • Makai Lemon WR | PHI

    Eagles' Makai Lemon: Not playing Saturday

    Lemon (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game at New England, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Lemon has been dealing with a hamstring injury since at least Aug. 3, but he was listed as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday in advance of this preseason Week 2 matchup. With no game action to speak of yet during exhibition season, the rookie first-round pick seems like a candidate to play this coming Friday at Cincinnati if he progresses enough in his recovery.
