Acuri, OL Austin Blaske, P Jack Bouwmeester, OL Wyatt Bowles, RB Dean Connors, S Alex Cook, OLB Devean Deal, WR Tru Edwards, CB Nyzier Fourqurean, LB Tomon Fox, CB Steven Gilmore, CB Al’zillion Hamilton, OL Blake Hance, OL Bryce Henderson, LB Nikha Hill-Green, S Tanner Ingle, DB Alex Johnson, TE Rohan Jones, DT Tim Keenan III, DB Cam Lamplin, DT Jaxson Moi, OL Larrell Murchison, LB Elias Neal, DL Bill Norton, LB Darryl Peterson III, WR Brennan Presley, LB Monty Rice, DL Tyler Scott and S Nate Valcarcel.

    San Francisco also brought in Alex Bachman and Trenton Irwin. With Christian Kirk and Ricky Pearsall already hurt, the team needs some extra bodies for at least the first week of training camp. Eskridge appeared in 13 games for Miami last year and totaled four catches for 62 yards.

    Thornton is not practicing due to a concussion. The 23-year-old has caught just eight passes this season and has become an afterthought in the pass-catching order. Also not practicing was WR Alex Bachman (thumb), who has primarily been a return specialist this season. Thornton’s potential Week 14 absence does not elevate any other Raiders receiver to be an interesting fantasy play against the Broncos.
  • LV Quarterback #5
    Miller finished with a 38.8 PFF offense grade for his 80 preseason snaps at quarterback. It would be surprising if the Raiders turned to him at any point this season, but perhaps he can take a step forward and show more next preseason. Also joining the Las Vegas practice squad are: WR Alex Bachman, RB Chris Collier, S Terrell Edmunds, DE Jahfari Harvey, WR Shedrick Jackson, LB Matt Jones, DT Treven Ma’ae, G Atonio Mafi, TE Albert Okwuegbunam Jr., TE Carter Runyon, WR Justin Shorter, OL Laki Tasi, S Trey Taylor, CB Greedy Vance, T Dalton Wagner and S JT Woods.
  • LV Quarterback #5
    Miller was the Raiders’ sixth-round pick, and it seems very likely that the signal-caller will be back with Las Vegas on their practice squad. Tommy Mellott — a former college quarterback who is making the move to wide receiver — was also part of the cuts for the Raiders. The full list of players who won’t make the 53-man roster: aived DT Zach Carter, RB Chris Collier, DE Jahfari Harvey, WR Shedrick Jackson, LB Matt Jones, DT Treven Ma’ae, G Atonio Mafi, RB Sincere McCormick, DE Ovie Oghoufo, TE Carter Runyon, WR Justin Shorter, OL Laki Tasi, S Trey Taylor, CB Greedy Vance, T Dalton Wagner and S JT Woods, WR Alex Bachman, S Terrell Edmunds and TE Albert Okwuegbunam while Lonnie Johnson Jr. was placed on the injured list and designated for return.
  • LV Wide Receiver #81
    Bachman saw extra time with both Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers sidelined. He was actually second among all wide receivers in targets but also trailed both running backs and both tight ends. It’s highly unlikely that Bachman will emerge onto the fantasy radar, but fantasy managers in deeper formats can store his name away in case Adams and Meyers continue to miss time.
  • LA Wide Receiver
    Bachman led the NFL in preseason receptions this summer, catching 19 of his 20 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in three games. Bachman, an undrafted free agent in 2019 who spent time with the Rams, has a decent chance to land on another team’s practice squad.

  • LA Wide Receiver
    Bachman (6'0/190) was reportedly the best athlete at the Pro Day, also recording a 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump. He impressed in front of the 31 NFL teams in attendance and even outperformed likely draft-pick Greg Dortch. Bachman had just 370 receiving yards on 30 receptions during the regular season prior to his nuclear 7/171/0 outing in the Birmingham Bowl. He’ll likely have to work his way onto an NFL roster as an undrafted free agent.
  • LA Wide Receiver
    The Demon Deacons were hit with a major blow when it was announced that star WR Greg Dortch (finger) would not be playing on Saturday, but Bachman showed up in a major way to help mitigate for that loss. The 6-foot, 190-pound senior was consistently rocking Memphis deep and averaged 24.4 yards per reception on the afternoon. This showing was made all the more impressive by the fact that Bachman entered the Birmingham Bowl having caught just 30 passes for 370 yards during the regular season. Heck of a way to go out on your college career, here, kid.

    Bachman (6'0/190) missed Thursday’s game against Boston College. He’s listed as a starter on the depth chart for the Irish.

    Giants signed QB Jameis Winston to a two-year, $13 million extension through 2028.

    Winston, 32, will remain in New York as QB Jaxson Dart’s mentor for the foreseeable future. He is a capable, fantasy-friendly backup who can bridge the gap if Dart misses time. Winston started two games last year, completing 37-of-65 passes for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, and rushing seven times for 23 yards and one touchdown while fumbling once.

    ESPN’s Mike Reiss reports that Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is “the clear-cut starter.”

    Stevenson’s position on the depth chart has been apparent for some time, but Reiss helpfully states it in plain terms after rhetorically asking how the Patriots will handle in-game running back reps if RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) cannot play in Week 1 against the Seahawks on Wednesday night. That said, if Henderson is unable to play, Stevenson will likely take on a larger-than-normal workload, with RB Corey Kiner and practice squad members RB Lan Larison and/or RB Hassan Haskins serving as his in-house touch competition. Although the Seahawks field a top-tier run defense, Stevenson can be treated as a high-end RB2 if Henderson is out, thanks to his hefty workload.

    ESPN’s Mike Reiss reports that Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is not present for the media-access portion of practice on Sunday.

    The injury has sidelined Henderson since August 24th. The Patriots face the Seahawks on Wednesday. At this point, Henderson must be considered questionable to play. Even if he were active, he would be slated for No. 2 duties behind starting RB Rhamondre Stevenson, and it is fair to wonder if the team would keep Henderson on a snap count. Reiss reported this morning that RB Lan Larison and/or RB Hassan Haskins would likely be elevated from the practice squad if Henderson cannot play, joining Stevenson and backup RB Corey Kiner on game day.

    NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell finalized a four-year extension.

    The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Goodell’s new extension runs through the 2030 season and expires at the end of March 2031, the same time that the current Collective Bargaining Agreement is also set to expire. Goodell, 67, succeeded Paul Tagliabue as NFL Commissioner in 2006.

    Vikings signed S Harrison Smith.

    The signing was first reported by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. It’s a one-year, $12.25 million deal with a maximum value of $16.25 million. Smith, 37, spent the offseason contemplating retirement before returning to the Vikings, the team that drafted him in the first-round in 2012, for his 15th season. He had a 68.9 overall PFF grade in 2025, which was 33rd out of 98 graded safeties.

    ESPN’s Mike Reiss reports Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) did not practice Saturday.

    The absence is notable considering the team kicks off the 2026 regular season Wednesday, with the team’s first full injury report due later today. Henderson has yet to participate in practice since sustaining the injury on 24 August and now appears to be in legitimate trouble of missing Week 1 when the Patriots square off against the defending Super Bowl Champions on the road in Seattle. Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line to soak up the bulk of the work out of the backfield should Henderson be forced to sit considering the only other back on the roster is recent acquisition Corey Kiner.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Falcons’ starting quarterback decision could be announced “as early as Monday.”

    Fowler notes that the official depth chart will be set on Wednesday, so the decision could be delayed by two days. Regardless, media members will surely ask coach Kevin Stefanski about it during Monday’s media session. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe previously reported that the Falcons plan to start QB Michael Penix (knee) “eventually.” That said, QB Tua Tagovailoa could start a game or two early on.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Patriots and CB Christian Gonzalez “remain apart on several key elements” in contract negotiations.

    Gonzalez is apparently “non-committal” about playing in Week 1 against the Seahawks. The Patriots, meanwhile, are reportedly prepared to make Gonzalez the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback by surpassing the $33 million-per-year mark set by Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon. The problem is that the two sides have “fundamental” disagreements over the deal’s length and structure. Kickoff is five days away. Stay tuned.

    49ers place EDGE Sam Okuayinonu on injured reserve with a foot injury.

    Okuayinonu totaled 30 tackles, 28 quarterback pressures and three sacks for the 49ers last season. He will be eligible to return in Week 5. Losing him softens San Francisco’s pass rush in the short term.

    Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said the team would be open to negotiating an extension with WR Parker Washington in-season.

    Washington, 24, is entering a contract year, coming off the best season of his career. He is reportedly expected to be the team’s No. 1 wide receiver. If Washington plays up to that standard, he will unquestionably be able to raise his asking price. Signing him to a deal right now could save the team money in the long term, but the front office evidently wants to see how he fares early in the year. Although this route could be costly, having a true No. 1 wide receiver affirm his financial value with top-tier play is a good problem to have.
