    Ravens | Lamar Jackson back at practice
    Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (groin) returned to practice Monday, Aug. 24.
    Footballguys view: Jackson has missed the last two days of practice with a groin strain. The Ravens will likely take it easy on Jackon during Monday's practice.

    Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa not a lock to be the backup?
    Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is in a competition for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Ryan Fitzpatrick with Josh Rosen, and the 'chances are greater' that Rosen will begin the season in that role unless Tagovailoa 'suddenly starts doing some magical things he hasn't shown yet,' in the opinion of the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero.
    Footballguys view: Tagovailoa is supposed to be the franchise quarterback that the Dolphins have been searching for since the days of Dan Marino. Rosen is a former first-round pick who is on his second team in only a couple of years. Behind the scenes with the Dolphins last year, Rosen was known as a hard worker but when he stepped onto the field to start in 2019 it was met with disastrous results. Tagovailoa should have no problem beating out Rosen but it sounds like that's not a done deal just yet.

    Bears | Chicago QB situation still murky
    Chicago Bears QBs Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles appear to be no closer to answering the question regarding the identity of the team's starting quarterback in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions.'It's not going to happen soon,' Matt Nagy said.
    Footballguys view: Trubisky has looked better according to camp reports and his teammates like what he's showing on the practice field. However, Foles has been there and done that so his experience could just make him the better option in the long run. Do not be surprised if the Bears begin the season with one guy and then make a change somewhere along the way. It's a make-or-break year for Trubisky that is for sure.

    Rams | Updates on Darrell Henderson, Taylor Rapp
    Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Rams RB Darrell Henderson (hamstring) could miss a few practices with a mild hamstring strain, according to Steve Wyche of NFL Network. S Taylor Rapp (knee) could be back before the end of the week, according to Wyche, who added that neither player looks to be in jeopardy of missing Week 1.
    Footballguys view: A few practices is different than the 'McVay hopes he's ready for Week 1' reports from earlier. Keep an eye on this Rams running back situation, and make sure to monitor the ADP of rookie Cam Akers -- the likely lead player in the Rams backfield.

    Eagles | Jalen Reagor making a fan out of his QB
    Philadelphia Eagles WR Jalen Reagor drew some praise last week when Carson Wentz observed that the rookie and Julio Jones share 'some similarities with how they run routes.''By no means am I saying this rookie is Julio Jones right now. Just the way that Jalen - his combination of speed and power - and just watching tape of Julio, I see some similarities with how they run routes,' Wentz told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
    Footballguys view: Reagor is a dangerous playmaker with the ball in his hands, and that's one of the reasons why Wentz should make him a preferred target. The rookie from TCU can score from anywhere on the field and he can make defenders look absolutely silly in the open field. Reagor has a current ADP of WR46 (10.07) in 12-team PPR leagues.

    Bears | Allen Robinson misses practice
    Chicago Bears WR Allen Robinson (ankle) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 23, but head coach Matt Nagy said he is not concerned about the injury.
    Footballguys view: Robinson is one of the lone bright spots on the Bears roster. Regardless of who wins the QB job between Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles, Robinson will be a focal point of the passing attack. Robinson is a WR1 for fantasy and he's got a current ADP of WR10 (3.08) in 12-team PPR leagues.

    Eagles | Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert on field Sunday
    Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz (undisclosed) and TE Dallas Goedert (thumb) participated in practice Sunday, Aug. 23.
    Footballguys view: The Eagles dynamic duo at tight end is a little banged up right now. They'll work to get as close to 100 percent as possible before the start of the regular season. Ertz is a TE1 for Fantasy GMs (as always) while Goedert has some 'what the heck' flex appeal in deeper leagues and is a helluva TE handcuff if your league is that deep.

    Titans | Darrynton Evans misses practice

    Browns | No practice for David Njoku
    Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (wrist) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 23.
    Footballguys view: The watch for Harrison Bryant to overtake Njoku is on. The Browns might end up wishing they had dealt Njoku when his camp demanded it.

    Bengals | A.J. Green does not practice
    Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (hamstring) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 23.
    Footballguys view: At this point, it would be a win if Green practices before the end of camp. He will come at a discount from his pre-camp ADP, but his Week 1 status will be in doubt until we see him on the field again.

    Jets | Denzel Mims still out
    New York Jets WR Denzel Mims (hamstring) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 23.

    Jets | No practice for Breshad Perriman
    New York Jets WR Breshad Perriman (knee) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 23, because of a sore knee but is expected to take part in practice Monday, Aug. 24, according to head coach Adam Gase.

    Rams | Darrell Henderson may be ready for Week 1 Sun Aug 23, 04:16 PM
    Los Angeles Rams RB Darrell Henderson (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a low-grade hamstring strain and may be available for the start of the regular season, according to a source.
    Footballguys view: Henderson still should drop some on boards as a second half of the draft flier and Cam Akers is now set to get the majority of the workload vs Dallas to open the season, with Malcolm Brown lurking at the goal line. If Henderson can get in a full practice in the week before the opener, then perhaps this will end up not changing his outlook, but we have to be cautious with hamstring injuries for speed players like Henderson.

    Chargers | Shoulder injury for Mike Williams
    Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (shoulder) left practice early Sunday, Aug. 23, because of a shoulder injury and is scheduled to undergo tests. The team did not find any problems with Williams' collarbone and hope that it is a minor injury.
    Footballguys view: This is still something to monitor, but as long as the tests don't show damage to the shoulder, Williams will still be a worthy upside pick later in drafts because Tyrod Taylor actually throws a nice deep ball.

    49ers | Brandon Aiyuk suffers injury
    San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) left practice early Sunday, Aug. 23, after suffering an apparent hamstring injury.
    Footballguys view: Aiyuk loses some appeal as a bench stash now unless this was a minor ding and he's practicing again before camp is over. The 49ers wide receiver group is a mess, so that makes George Kittle look better and better at ADP. Dante Pettis has a wider window to win redemption with Aiyuk ailing.

    Patriots | Cam Newton receives most of work Sunday
    New England Patriots QB Cam Newton received 30 repetitions during team drills Sunday, Aug. 23, while QB Brian Hoyer received 12 reps during 11-on-11 drills.
    Footballguys view: Newton is pulling away in the quarterback competition and he's certainly worth a pick as your upside QB2, but he isn't drawing rave reviews for his practice performances and might have a slow start to the season.
