  • Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Sits out preseason game

    Eskridge missed Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans with an undisclosed injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Eskridge's roster spot was always in jeopardy, and missing the week of practice and the second preseason game won't help his case. Particularly, Laviska Shenault has filled Eskridge's role admirably, working as a returner and a gadget player. Eskridge will need to get healthy quickly and perform well in the final preseason game versus the Browns in order to make the final roster.

  • Easop Winston WR | NYJ

    Seahawks' Easop Winston: Scores in presseason loss

    Winston caught three of four targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans.

    Winston started the game and scored on a 23-yard go route from Sam Howell in the first quarter. The 27-year-old now has 77 yards through two preseason games, the most of any Seahawks receiver. Winston is making a good case to earn one of the final roster spots, and his usage as a punt returner works in his favor, too.

  • Quez Watkins WR | PHI

    Steelers' Quez Watkins: Targeted once in preseason loss

    Watkins failed to secure his lone target while rushing once for six yards during Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills.

    Watkins was on the field for 53 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Saturday, but he didn't see many touches during the low-scoring loss. He didn't have any offensive touches during last weekend's preseason opener, and he could have to put together a productive outing during next Saturday's preseason finale against Detroit to bolster his case for a spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Dealing with minor injury

    Adams didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas after he "tweaked something" at practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Despite not suiting up for Las Vegas' second exhibition game, Adams is expected to practice Tuesday, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. It seems unlikely that the star wideout will see any action in the Raiders' final game of the preseason against San Francisco on Friday, as head coach Antonio Pierce stated Saturday that the team's starters won't take part in that contest, according to Reed. If Adams doesn't participate in that contest, he'll go into the regular season without seeing any snaps during the exhibition slate.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Titans' Tyler Boyd: Waiting on first catch with Titans

    Boyd did not play in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    The Titans have opted to play their starters sparingly this preseason, as Will Levis has attempted only five passes. Boyd has yet to find the stat sheet as a result, but he should have a significant role in the offense, particularly so long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is sidelined.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Long gains in loss

    Tucker secured three of six targets for 66 yards and returned two punts for 48 yards in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.

    Tucker secured a game-long 48-yard grab from Gardner Minshew on the first play of the second possession, a drive that ended in a field goal. Tucker also contributed solid gains on his other two catches and rattled off a 43-yard punt return while also seeing a 29-yard runback erased by an illegal block. This comes after Tucker had a trio of chunk plays in the preseason opener against the Vikings, meaning the 2023 third-round pick appears poised for a sizable Year 2 leap if his summer performances are any indication.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Comes up empty on four targets

    Meyers failed to bring in any of his four targets in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.

    Three of the four targets Meyers saw came from Gardner Minshew on the opening possession, and the final one came on third down from the Cowboys' 11-yard line during the Raiders' second drive. Despite the goose egg Saturday, Meyers is expected to once again serve as a valuable target for either Minshew or Aidan O'Connell in the upcoming campaign after posting a 71-807-8 line across 16 regular-season games in 2023.

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Records two catches

    Marshall recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 14 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets.

    The Panthers held out their top pass catchers, leaving Marshall among the first receivers to take the field. He made both of his catches on the team's second possession, the first of which helped the offense convert on third down. Marshall has yet to find his footing as a pro and is likely fighting for his roster spot this summer.

  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: First catch of preseason

    Mingo recorded one catch (on one target) for four yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets.

    None of Diontae Johnson (groin), Xavier Legette or Adam Thielen suited up, which left Mingo as one of the starting receivers. The Panthers made a clear effort to get him the ball early, as he tallied a four-yard catch prior to having an 18-yard gain negated by an offensive pass interference penalty on the first drive. Mingo had a very disappointing rookie season in 2023, and he's likely to begin the new campaign as the team's third or fourth receiver.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Jets' Malachi Corley: Two catches against Panthers

    Corley recorded two receptions (on two targets) for 10 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers.

    The Jets sat all of their projected starters, leaving Corley to catch the team's first pass of the game from Andrew Peasley. Corley has had a solid exhibition season, tallying six catches for 37 yards while also working as one of the team's kick returners. Special teams could be the primary path for him to find the field at the start of the regular season, though Corley could challenge Xavier Gipson for snaps in the slot as the campaign progresses.
