  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Chris Moore: Staying with Baltimore on practice squad

    The Ravens signed Moore to the practice squad Monday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Moore was unable to crack the Ravens' 53-man roster for the upcoming season, but he's opted to stick around on the practice squad of the team that selected him in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Moore appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Commanders last year, finishing with 11 catches (on 23 targets) for 207 yards and a touchdown and 157 yards on six kickoff returns. He would be a candidate for elevation to the main roster should the Ravens require another pass catcher or contributor on special teams.

  • Chris Bell WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Chris Bell: Still working into football shape

    Coach Jeff Hafley said Tuesday that Bell is still working on getting into football shape, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Bell was cleared to return to full practice last week and ended up playing 14 offensive snaps in the Dolphins' preseason finale Friday, where he finished with two catches for 22 yards on five targets. After Miami traded Tutu Atwell to the Rams and dumped several other wideouts this past weekend, Bell is a candidate to see playing time out of the gates with the Dolphins, as he's competing with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and fellow rookie Caleb Douglas for snaps at the position. Bell likely needs to improve his conditioning after a long rehab from ACL surgery.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Bullish for Year 2 of WR tandem with Pickens

    Lamb said Monday that he believes that he and fellow wideout George Pickens can both improve upon their lofty production from 2025 heading into their second season as teammates, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. "We can be real, real vicious together. I know that. He knows that," Lamb said. "And every day we strive to do it. We've had a lot of success together. But I know there's much more out there for us."

    The presence of Pickens will make it difficult for Lamb to reclaim the elevated target shares he enjoyed earlier in his career, but better overall health might be enough for the latter receiver to bounce back to some degree in 2026. Despite missing nearly full four games because of a sprained ankle along with sitting out the second half of another game due to a concussion, Lamb still hauled in 75 passes and finished with his fifth straight 1,000-plus-yard receiving season in 2025. Pickens, meanwhile, feasted when Lamb was limited to just seven total snaps from Weeks 3 through 6 (24-427-5 receiving line on 35 targets), and remained plenty useful for fantasy purposes in the Cowboys' other 13 games (69-1,002-4 line on 102 targets). Heading into the upcoming season, neither Lamb nor Pickens will face any major threats to their perch atop the pass-catching hierarchy, but after scoring a career-low three touchdowns in 2025, Lamb may need to poach more high-value targets from tight end Jake Ferguson in order to justify his first-round sticker price in fantasy drafts. Ferguson emerged as a trusted option for quarterback Dak Prescott in the red zone, finishing with a team-high 24 targets in that area and hitting paydirt eight times.

  • Carnell Tate WR | TEN

    Titans' Carnell Tate: Working through stiffness

    Coach Robert Saleh said Tate (undisclosed) missed Tuesday's practice due to some "stiffness," Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    There's been no indication the first-round rookie wideout's status for Week 1 against the Jets is in any sort of danger. Tate played 38 offensive snaps during the preseason but failed to catch any of his six targets across the three exhibition contests. He's expected to serve as Cam Ward's top downfield weapon this season with slot man Wan'Dale Robinson (head) handling underneath routes, though Calvin Ridley is still in the mix at the position. There could be growing pains for Tate in 2026 in what is expected to be one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Practices Tuesday despite early absence

    Nabers (knee) was not spotted at the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, but he later took the field in uniform, according to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv.

    The apparent absence raised some alarms after he said Monday he was unsure about his Week 1 availability, but Nabers was able to join Tuesday's session midway through. It's unclear how much work he will get in Tuesday, however. Nabers played only four games last season before suffering a significant knee injury.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Gets back on practice field

    Coleman (right foot/toe) was present at Tuesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Coleman sustained a sprained right foot/toe in the Bills' preseason opener Aug. 15, but he ditched his low walking boot as of last Thursday and now appears set to mix back into drills. He has nearly two weeks to get healthy ahead of a Week 1 road matchup with the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 13.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Still not practicing

    Shakir (undisclosed) remains sidelined at Tuesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Shakir was able to suit up for preseason Week 1 against the Panthers on Saturday, Aug. 15, hauling in both of his targets for 41 yards while playing eight offensive snaps. However, he's been out of drills since Aug. 20 and didn't suit up for the Bills' final two exhibitions due to an undisclosed injury. Buffalo opens the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 13 at Houston, giving him less than two weeks to get himself ready for game action.

  • Bears' Luther Burden: Practicing Tuesday

    Coach Ben Johnson said Burden (groin) will participate in Tuesday's practice, Zack Pearson of BearReport reports.

    After suffering a groin injury during an Aug. 8 practice, Burden was expected to be sidelined for about one month, putting his availability for Week 1 in question. Since then, he missed the Bears' entire preseason slate but returned to individual drills last Wednesday. Chicago takes on the Panthers on the road in their regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Door still open for Week 1

    Colts GM Chris Ballard said Tuesday the "hope" is Pierce (ankle) will play in Week 1 against the Ravens.

    Pierce was on the practice field Tuesday, but it's unclear if he's truly been unleashed for full team drills as he makes his way back from offseason ankle surgery. He missed most of training camp and didn't see any preseason action, but the Colts remain optimistic their No. 1 receiver will be in the lineup in 12 days against Baltimore. Indy has other injury concerns in its passing game, with Pierce, Josh Downs (calf) and Tyler Warren (groin) all dealing with injuries, while 34-year-old Keenan Allen isn't yet up to speed after signing with the team two weeks ago.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Dealing with heel injury

    Higgins is tending to a heel contusion, but coach Zac Taylor said Tuesday that it isn't considered to be a major concern ahead of Week 1, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    No. 1 wideout Ja'Marr Chase is also currently recovering from a left knee injury that he suffered in practice last Tuesday. Fortunately for Higgins, he doesn't appear to have a serious injury, just one that he'll have to manage with a season-opening matchup with the Buccaneers on the horizon.
