  • Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Sustains injury Friday

    Berrios (undisclosed) went to the locker room with a Dolphins trainer during Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Berrios was on the receiving end of a big collision during a punt return in the second quarter. If he's unable to return Friday, he'll finish Miami's exhibition opener with two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards and two punt returns for eight yards.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: In line to play Friday

    Watson is expected to play in Friday's preseason game at Cincinnati, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Watson will join new Packers No. 1 quarterback Jordan Love in the starting lineup for the team's exhibition opener. In fact, with only Grant DuBose not slated to suit up Friday, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Samori Toure, among others, will be available at wide receiver for Green Bay.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Unlikely to play Friday

    Godwin isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason contest versus the Steelers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Both Godwin and Mike Evans aren't suiting up for Tampa Bay's exhibition opener, which will give Russell Gage, Trey Palmer, Deven Thompkins and David Moore, among others, a chance for reps at wide receiver. Godwin's next opportunity for some preseason action will happen Saturday, Aug. 19 at the Jets.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Not suiting up Friday

    Evans isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Both Evans and Chris Godwin aren't suiting up for the Buccaneers' exhibition opener, meaning Russell Gage, Trey Palmer, Deven Thompkins and David Moore, among others, will be the wide receivers available to the offense. Evans' next chance for some preseason action will arrive Saturday, Aug. 19 at the Jets.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Not slated to play Friday

    Waddle (undisclosed) is not in line to see action in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons.

    Waddle left Wednesday's practice with an unspecified issue, but either way, it seems unlikely he would have played in the contest, with other key players like top QB Tua Tagovailoa, fellow WR Tyreek Hill and RBs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson (undisclosed) also slated to sit this one out. Waddle's next chance to see preseason action will occur next Saturday against the Texans.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Sitting out Friday

    Hill isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    The Dolphins offense also won't include QB Tua Tagovailoa, RBs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson and WR Jaylen Waddle, leaving Cedrick Wilson, River Cracraft, Braxton Berrios and Robbie Chosen, among others, as the team's available wide receivers. Hill's next chance for exhibition action will arrive Saturday, Aug. 19 at Houston.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Lamb isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars, The Athletic's Jon Machota reports.

    This comes as no surprise. Lamb is expected to be joined on the sidelines by fellow veterans Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and Brandin Cooks. Lamb has unsurprisingly been a standout at Cowboys camp this summer and should be teed up as a surefire fantasy WR1 this season.

  • Cade Johnson WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cade Johnson: Released from hospital

    Johnson (concussion) was released from the hospital Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Johnson was taken to the hospital after taking a big hit during Thursday's preseason game against the Vikings. Tests at the hospital revealed no additional injuries beyond the concussion, and it's encouraging that Johnson has been released the next day. Nonetheless, he will have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before returning to the football field.

  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Browns' Elijah Moore: Continuing to star at training camp

    Moore has been "the offensive star" of Browns camp and has "proven to be the perfect complement" to Deshaun Watson, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Moore has carried his strong spring over to training camp, even after the pads have come on. "Lining up in the backfield, in the slot and outside, Moore has done it all in camp, while demonstrating excellent hands and adept route-running," wrote Cabot. By all accounts, Moore seems to have taken hold of slot duties and should be in the mix to finish second on the team in targets behind Amari Cooper. Moore will look to rebound in Cleveland and could flirt with WR3 fantasy numbers.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Injury reportedly minor

    The apparent right leg issue that caused Adams to exit Friday's practice is believed to be minor, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic.

    Adams' status is nonetheless something to monitor, but Reed's report suggests that the wideout avoided a major injury after walking off the field gingerly Friday. Coach Josh McDaniels downplayed the injury after Friday's practice. "I don't think it was crazy serious," McDaniels said. Adams will sit out Sunday's preseason opener against San Francisco, but he wasn't excepted to suit up even before getting hurt.
