    Seahawks signed CB Brandon Johnson, formerly of the Eagles.

    Johnson is a former undrafted free agent out of Oregon, spending his rookie 2025 season with the Eagles. He was primarily on the practice squad, appearing in three games and tallying three combined tackles for Philadelphia. After getting waived last month, the Seahawks add Johnson as cornerback depth ahead of training camp. Tight end Harrison Bryant was waived in a corresponding move.

    Bryant is a former fourth-round pick of the Browns, spending the first four years of his career in Cleveland and the last two years with the Raiders and Texans. As a receiver, Bryant is yet to surpass 300 yards receiving in a single season with the bulk of his production coming in tandem with David Njoku in Cleveland. He can line up inline and in the slot while his blocking is also a serviceable trait. Bryant was depth for the Texans last season, seeing just four targets in the regular season but five targets in the post-season amid injuries to the tight end room. The Seahawks will add him as depth to a room featuring A.J. Barner, Elijah Arroyo, and Eric Saubert.
  • HOU Tight End #86
    Schultz was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday, but it is clear the Texans trust him enough to manage him in practices. He’ll be a low-end TE1 against the Titans this week. Elsewhere in Texans TE land, Cade Stover (foot) is questionable in his first week of practices since opening his 21-day window, but with Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) officially out, Stover seems to be likely to suit up.
  • HOU Tight End #88
    The Texans ruled out six on Friday: C.J. Stroud (concussion), Jalen Pitre (concussion), Tytus Howard (concussion), Ed Ingram (knee), Ka’imi Fairbairn (quad), and Christian Harris (shoulder) — they’ll be joined by healthy scratch Jarrett Kingston on the inactives list today. Bryant was questionable and doesn’t figure to be much of a fantasy factor today.
  • HOU Tight End #87
    This move was expected after it was reported on Monday that Stover suffered a broken foot in Week 1. Harrison Bryant was signed to the active roster in a corresponding move. Stover’s injury should lock in Dalton Schultz for a full-time role, keeping him in the TE2 mix for Week 2.
  • HOU Tight End #88
    He didn’t survive last cuts, but the Texans now have their third tight end in place for the season. Bryant is likely third in the pecking order behind Dalton Schultz and Cole Stover, which means he doesn’t need to specifically be rostered in fantasy leagues.
  • FA Tight End #88
    The Texans traded for Bryant just nine days ago, so this could be some sort of procedural move. It would be unsurprising to see them sign him again shortly. He caught 2-of-2 targets for 13 yards in the preseason.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #8
    Jordan Schultz reports that the 49ers were also trying to trade for Metchie but the Eagles made a stronger offer. Metchie missed his 2022 rookie season, battling acute promyelocytic leukemia. He debuted in 2023 and has since caught 40-of-66 targets for 412 yards and one touchdown through his two active NFL seasons. He could compete with Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson for the Eagles’ No. 3 wide receiver role.
  • PHI Tight End #84
    Bryant will compete for the No. 2 role behind Dallas Goedert, who the Eagles had been considering dealing this offseason. While Bryant likely won’t surpass that spot on the depth chart, taking a chance on him makes sense. The 26-year-old tight end won the 2019 John Mackey Award in his final college season before earning PFWA All-Rookie Team honors in 2020. His career-best stat line occurred in 2022, when he caught 31-of-42 targets for 239 yards and one touchdown.
  • LV Tight End #84
    Bryant, the team’s No. 3 TE, and No. 4 TE Justin Shorter (illness) were both unable to practice on Wednesday but, fortunately, No. 2 TE Michael Mayer (personal) returned to play in Week 11 after an extended absence. Mayer’s presence helps negate concern over depth.
  • LV Tight End #87
    Mayer was a full participant in all three practices this week. He remains on the reserve/NFI list but should be removed over the weekend. His questionable tag is likely a formality. With Harrison Bryant out for Week 11, Mayer should immediately slot in as the team’s TE2.

    Kyren Williams believes Blake Corum is “a lot leaner” heading into 2026.

    “I would say he’s a lot leaner for sure, he looks a lot more explosive,” was Williams’ exact quote. The Rams’ in-house reporters claim “that explosiveness has been on display all camp.” A disappointing 2024 rookie, Corum successfully earned a 1B role as a sophomore and is pushing for more. It’s still difficult to believe he could crack the top 24 at running back in fantasy, but it is possible he continues to cut into Williams’ top-18 value. Williams and Corum’s workload split will be one of September’s most intriguing early-season storylines.

    ESPN’s Brady Henderson reports TE Elijah Arroyo has been a standout through the first week of Seahawks training camp.

    That apparently includes in both pad-less and padded practices. Henderson does add the same was true last summer before the then No. 50 overall pick went on to have a quiet rookie year. Arroyo dealt with knee issues after they were a red flag during his pre-draft process. Drafted in part to be an after-the-catch weapon, Arroyo could be left fighting for designed touches to begin the season. He is comfortably behind AJ Barner on both the depth chart and in average draft position. We’ll let you know if he keeps lighting up camp.

    ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reports Isaac Guerendo (pec, PUP) “seems to be healing well.”

    This is just one reporter’s opinion, but 26-year-old Guerendo’s health has taken on increased importance after Jordan James suffered a broken rib in the opening days of camp. Guerendo’s Niners future is murky at best, but a quick healing process could earn him a small role behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey, as well as make it more likely he would be a part of the committee were CMC to ever miss time with injury.

    Bo Nix has no plans to curtail his rushing despite last season’s broken ankle.

    “Absolutely not,” was Nix’s response when asked if he planned to run less following his unfortunate Divisional Round injury. “I’m going to roll, and I’m going to be as athletic as I can be. Like the earlier question, it’s a strength of ours and we have to use our strengths. For me, that’s when I feel at my best and that’s when I feel free.” Nix went on for several more sentences. That’s about as clear as you could ever expect a player to be. Nix’s legs have been a big part of his low-end QB1 value and streamer success. Now with an enhanced supporting cast via the addition of Jaylen Waddle, the third-year starter could be set up for another “surprise” step forward in fantasy.

    Lions DL Alim McNeill (neck) “believed to be okay” after leaving practice early Friday.

    McNeill was unable to finish the session Friday but is reportedly dealing with a minor ailment, with head coach Dan Campbell confirming that he is “believed to be okay” after initial testing. Speaking to media Saturday, Campbell added, “He’s a huge piece for us on defense.” McNeill has been no stranger to picking up various ailments having missed a combined 14 games in the previous three seasons.

    Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) is day-to-day with a bone bruise.

    This is about the best case scenario for the Chiefs after Allen was carted from the field Saturday after a special teams collision. Preliminary testing revealed the knee to be intact with no associated ligament damage, leaving Allen day-to-day with what is being called a shin bruise. The fifth-round receiver is expected to make an immediate impact on special teams while providing valuable depth behind Rashee Rice in the slot.

    Lions signed LB Devin White, formerly of the Raiders, to a one-year contract.

    The seven-year veteran spent five seasons with the Buccaneers before quick, one-year stops in Houston and Las Vegas. White set a career high with 174 tackles in 2025 after missing most of the 2024 season with injury, giving the Lions a veteran interior presence to move around with Jack Campbell. The financials of the contract were not immediately made available, although it appears to be a team-friendly, prove-it-style deal.

    NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reports Broncos “will explore bringing in free agent TE Taysom Hill.”

    Hill has played the entirety of his nine-year NFL career with the Saints after entering the league as a 27-year-old quarterback in 2017. Now 35 and without a home, there is the potential for Hill to reunite with Broncos head coach Sean Payton in Denver. It is difficult to see the team making another haphazard play at a potential Joker after the way Evan Engram’s season went in 2025, particularly after investing significant capital into wide receiver Jaylen Waddle earlier this offseason. File this away in the rumor category until we see anything of substance.

    Georgia Tech hired former NFL WR DeAndre Hopkins as assistant wide receivers coach.

    The 13-year NFL veteran previously visited with the Patriots regarding a potential spot within their coaching ranks, ultimately landing in the college ranks with Georgia Tech. While he has yet to formally announce a retirement, the move clearly points to his playing days being over after failing to draw interest in the free agent market this offseason. If this is the end of the road for Hopkins, his career ends with 1,006 receptions for 13,295 yards and 85 touchdowns, placing him at 18th on the all-time career receiving list. It would also leave Mike Evans as the active player with the most career receiving yards.

    49ers WR De’Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) held out of practice Saturday.

    The rookie wide receiver is reportedly dealing with “hamstring tightness” and the team stressed the fact that it was not a strain, likely indicating he will be back on the practice field in short order. That said, the team could look to take it slow with their No. 33 overall pick after losing fellow receiver Ricky Pearsall to knee surgery earlier in the day. For now, fantasy managers can simply monitor the situation in the coming days.
