New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been a no-show at training camp the past three days and the unexcused absences are believed to be contract-related, according to Adam Schefter. Kamara was asked about his contract on August 10 and said he wasn’t concerned with it at all, though clearly something has changed. The 25-year-old is due $2.133 million for the year, though he

After the Jacksonville Jaguars released running back Leonard Fournette on Monday morning, the backfield for the Jags looks a lot more difficult to project. Gone is the workhorse lead back in Fournette, but that loss should lead to an expanded role for Ryquell Armstead, a second-year back out of Temple who should now be the lead back for the team. Armstead’s 2019 numbers don’t look

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson could be in line for an expanded role after the team surprisingly released starting running back Leonard Fournette on Monday morning. Thompson was reportedly already seeing plenty of work in the team’s offense during training camp, including in the red zone. He probably won’t see many more carries as a strict pass-catching RB but his role in the red

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released running back Leonard Fournette, who was entering his final year under contract with the team. His high workload as a Jag made him a safe fantasy RB2 with upside as long as he was playing in Jacksonville, but now everything’s up in the air. Will Fournette find a new home this close to the season that will give him the

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown missed practice on Sunday after leaving halfway through it on Friday, per ESPN’s Turron Davenport. The reason why the WR missed practice remains unspecified at this time. Firmly entrenched as the WR1 on this team, Brown is expected to take on a huge role after amassing 52 receptions, 1,051 yards, 20.2 yards per catch, and eight touchdowns as a

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf was praised by offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer earlier this week for his determination and desire to become one of the best receivers in the game, according to a report from SeattlePI. The now second-year player has continued to stay motivated during training camp and has been shining on a consistent basis. Coach Pete Carroll hopes to put the 6’4″

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has developed a strong understanding of how to protect the quarterback as well as the importance of it, according to Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy in a report from Chiefs Wire. The 21-year-old is expected to take on a workhorse role as just a rookie because the other primary Chiefs RB, Damien Williams, has opted out of the

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp endured a low-ankle sprain in Saturday’s practice though it is said to be a minor injury, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport. The WR is expected to take it easy this week and maybe even skip practice altogether. The 27-year-old proved just how valuable he was to the Rams last season when he played all 16 games, amassing 94

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry focused very heavily on improving his pass-catching skills during Sunday’s practice, according to a report from NFL.com. The large back has rushed for over 1,000 yards the past two seasons, including notching 1,540 rush yards last season. Nevertheless, he doesn’t have any more than 206 receiving yards in any season during his four-year career. Henry is already considered to

When the Dallas Cowboys inked kicker Greg Zuerlein to a three-year deal during the off-season, they expected an elite kicker — thus far during training camp, Zuerlein has been just that. While the total is unofficial, Zuerlein has opened the warm-up session by going 30-for-31, missing his first kick Sunday — which came from 60 yards. But for those concerned about the kickers notorious right

The Houston Texans and linebacker Zach Cunningham agreed on a four-year, $58 million deal to keep the 25-year-old with the organization for the foreseeable future. Cunningham started all 16 games last year and made a career-high 142 combined tackles, seven of which were for a loss. In addition to defending two passes, Cunningham also added two sacks and two fumble recoveries. He has a safe

The Tennessee Titans have brought in two former elite kickers for a workout as of Sunday in Stephen Hauschka and Stephen Gostkowski. Hauschka has spent the past three seasons as a member of the Bills, having missed just one field goal inside of 40 yards, while Gostkowski is looking for a new home beyond New England for the first time in his career. Currently, the

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was held firmly in check by the teams second-tier defensive unit Sunday. Mayfield and his first-tier teammates lost a scrimmage to the Case Keenum-led second unit, with the Browns Week 1 starter tossing an interception in the end zone at one point. The Cleveland offense enters 2020 with a large question mark as Alex Van Pelt takes over as the

The Dallas Cowboys are without two of their top cornerbacks for practice Sunday as Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis are sidelined due to injury. Awuzie, a projected starter, has been battling a knee ailment while Lewis is wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Trevon Diggs appears to be a safe bet to start at one of the two CB spots irrespective of any

Running back Kalen Ballage will not be joining the New York Jets after all, at least not right away. After having been dealt by Miami, Ballage failed his physical due to a hamstring injury, which allows him to return to the Dolphins, who are not likely to hold onto him. Ultimately, Ballage could wind up back in New York, but it’s difficult to envision that

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired defensive end Yannick Ngakoue from the Jaguars, ending a months-long saga that involved the former Pro Bowler wanting to depart from the organization at any cost. Ngakoue additionally signed a new one-year deal, albeit a discount of what he would have received had he accepted a franchise tender from the Jaguars. With the move, Ngakoue will face Jacksonville on Dec.

New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell may be battling stout competition inside of his locker room, but he received the vast majority of reps during Sundays practice. Bell will have to jockey for carries alongside a stacked backfield, but he got six touches Sunday, including pulling down a receiving touchdown when lined up at receiver. After having been primarily a first-round selection in fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor will miss at least the next month as he recovers from a shoulder tear that he sustained during practice Sunday. Reagor was hurt while tackling a defender after quarterback Jalen Hurts tossed an interception. The teams first-round pick out of TCU in 2020, Reagor figured to play a prominent role in the offense as soon as Week 1 against

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was held out of Sundays practice due to a wrist injury, albeit one that head coach Kevin Stefanski seemed not overly concerned about. Garrett has been reinstated and cleared to play as soon as Week 1, with no residual suspension carry over from the 2019 incident that ended his year early. Garrett averaged a sack in every contest that

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James sustained a meniscus injury during practice Sunday, one which is likely to keep him sidelined for a prolonged period of time. Should James only need slight repairs to the ailment, he could be back in as little as four weeks, but if he needs a major surgery, he could miss as many as multiple months. Having been named the
