    Arizona Cardinals WR Andy Isabella is a player that head coach Kliff Kingsbury has identified as someone he wants to use more often in 2020.'I have to do a better job of expanding his role and finding ways to get him on the field and get him utilized,' Kingsbury told reporters Sunday, Aug. 30.

    Eagles | John Hightower making an impression
    Philadelphia Eagles WR John Hightower has 'done well all camp' and is a strong candidate to move up the depth chart after the team learned it would be without WR Jalen Reagor for approximately four weeks Sunday, Aug. 30, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

    49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo feeling more comfortable
    San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo has been more decisive in training camp this summer and shown a quickness mentally and physically that wasn't always there previously, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area.'When I say decisive, I mean just decisive when that ball is in his hands and out on his back foot. When he hits his back foot in his drop it's a thing of beauty and you're seeing more and more of it throughout camp,' 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said.

    Buccaneers | Ronald Jones back on field
    Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (foot) participated in practice Sunday, Aug. 30.
    Footballguys view: This is a good sign that the injury truly was minor. Jones will start the year as the Bucs #1 back and have a chance to hit his fantasy ceiling if he plays well, especially in the passing game.

    Eagles | Jalen Reagor to miss a few weeks
    Philadelphia Eagles WR Jalen Reagor (shoulder) has a small tear in his labrum and will miss at least Week 1 of the regular season, according to a source. He will not need surgery to repair the injury and his status for Week 2 is uncertain.
    Footballguys view: Reagor won't be startable until we see him on the field without any reinjury for one week, so probably not until Week 4 at the earliest. It doesn't affect his fantasy stock that much since he was mostly being drafted on upside, but it does give DeSean Jackson, Zach Ertz, and Dallas Goedert more room to make an early impact, and opens the door for JJ Arcega-Whiteside redemption.

    49ers | George Kittle sits again
    San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 30.
    Footballguys view: Kittle is a warrior, playing through a torn labrum for over a year, but we'll watch this to see if it threatens his availability or effectiveness for Week 1, with Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel also questionable at best. The 49ers passing game could be very limited against Arizona in the opener. Chances are this is just precautionary, but we want to see practice participation leading into Week 1 to confirm that.

    Bills | Zack Moss limited Sunday
    Buffalo Bills RB Zack Moss (neck) wore a non-contact jersey during practice Sunday, Aug. 30.
    Footballguys view: It's good that Moss was out there on the field, but neck issues can be tricky, so if this keeps him on the injury report or resurfaces during the season, it could be problematic. Don't throw away your Devin Singletary shares yet, but keep Moss on your undervalued player list.

    Bills | No practice for Stefon Diggs
    Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs (back) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 30.
    Footballguys view: This is probably a minor issue, but if Diggs misses any time, the values of John Brown and Cole Beasley change significantly, so if this comes up again during the season, we'll remember that it was a pre-existing problem.
