Davis (knee) did not play in the Jets' 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers on Friday.

Davis has missed the Jets' first two preseason games due to a knee injury he sustained in training camp practice in early August. He's trending on the doubtful side of suiting up for the Jets' preseason finale against the Giants next Friday, but he could be available for the regular-season opener against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13. With Breece Hall (groin) also sidelined, Braelon Allen will serve as the Jets' top running back in practices, with Kene Nwangwu, Chip Trayanum and Sam Scott all in line for additional reps.

Shakir (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Cleveland, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Shakir will join DJ Moore, Keon Coleman (foot/toe), Joshua Palmer and Skyler Bell (lower body) on the sidelines for Saturday's exhibition contest. Shakir is currently working through an unspecified injury, and while it doesn't appear to be a severe issue, it could prevent him from playing in the Bills' preseason finale against the Steelers on Thursday.

Bell (lower body) will not participate in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Bell has been limited in practice due to a lower-body injury he sustained in practice before last week's preseason opener against the Panthers. The Bills made it clear the injury was very surmountable, but the team is being careful with the rookie fourth-rounder until the regular season commences.

Thompson (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Thompson exited Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers early due to injury. He was taken to the blue medical tent and his night was promptly over. It remains unclear what type of injury Thompson is dealing with, but a quick exit and inability to practice are not good signs. If the 23-year-old must miss time, KeAndre Lambert-Smith could see significantly more attention in the rest of the preseason and the start of the regular season.

Harris (undisclosed) will participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Harris was held out of Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers due to an unspecified injury. It doesn't appear to be a severe issue, as he'll be back on the field for Saturday's practice, putting him on track to play in the Chargers' preseason finale against the Rams on Thursday. Harris is slated to serve as the team's WR3 behind Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston (lower body).

Coleman (right foot/toe) isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Coleman suffered a sprained right foot/toe during the Bills' preseason opener against the Panthers this past Saturday, when he caught three passes (on four targets) for 17 yards and a touchdown in a 29-14 win. Coleman will be joined by DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir (undisclosed), Joshua Palmer and Skyler Bell (lower body) on the sidelines for Saturday's exhibition contest, leaving Mecole Hardman, Trent Sherfield and Dante Pettis as the Bills' top pass catchers

The Texans placed Ossai (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday.

Ossai persisted through a separate issue to be activated off the active/PUP list for training camp in late July. The linebacker has unfortunately succumbed to yet another injury and could now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season on the Texans' IR. Ossai will need to reach an injury settlement with the Texans if he wants to attempt a return to football with another team in 2026.

Jeudy will not play in the Browns' preseason game against the Bills on Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Jeudy played in the Browns' preseason opener against the Bears this past Saturday, when he caught both of his targets for 18 yards in a 34-10 loss. Jeudy, KC Concepcion and Cedric Tillman (undisclosed) will be sidelined against Buffalo, so Denzel Boston will lead the Browns' wide receiver corps, with Isaiah Bond, Tylan Wallace and Malachi Corley also in line for additional reps.

Slater (undisclosed) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Slater returns to practice for the first time since suffering an unknown injury in early August. The premier left tackle missed the entire 2025 season due to a kneecap injury he suffered in August of 2025. Slater's return, even in a limited capacity, is a good sign for the Chargers' starting offensive line heading into the Week 1 matchup with the Cardinals.

Johnston (lower body) will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Johnston sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's joint practice against the 49ers, which prevented him from playing in Thursday's preseason game against San Francisco. The fourth-year wideout is not expected to miss much time while recovering from his injury, but the Chargers could take the cautious route and hold Johnston out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Rams.
