Fitch, a 6-3/320-pound nose tackle, will be a reserve for Baltimore.

He’s visited the Saints, Seahawks, and Texans over the past few weeks. It seems likely that Arnold will eventually sign, though perhaps he’ll be in limbo while teams wait for his felony kidnapping and armed robbery charges play out in the courtroom.

Sweat has been on the PUP list for the entirety of training camp and has not worked out with the team in any way, shape, or form this offseason. Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said: “Yeah. I mean, there’s different parts of injuries and stuff like that that, you know, are...and I shouldn’t even call it injuries...but just getting himself right to be ready to roll. So, again, I like where he’s at. I know everyone probably is not believing me on that one, but again, I only try to speak truth to you guys.” Uh huh. Well anyway, we have no idea if Josh Sweat will play again any time soon. It certainly would appear from the outside that Sweat is pushing his leverage towards a trade despite the Cardinals’ denials.

“Pretty normal thing with ACLs,” said Kyle Shanahan. We’re not concerned about Bosa’s status for Week 1 yet, but we’d like to see him practicing.

Slater has not practiced since Thursday, but said it is “nothing to be concerned about.” OK, if you say so. After watching how the Christian Darrisaw situation unfolded last year in Minnesota, we think you’re well within your rights to be a little concerned about this even if we’re not in the realm of outright panic just yet.

Same. We’ll monitor this, but there’s not any actionable advice to hand out until we get a more detailed report. A non-minor Nacua injury, of course, would be stratospheric news in the fantasy community.

“Bears are hoping he can return for the playoffs,” Schefter notes. It’s a brutal blow for the Bears to lose their star free-agent acquisition before training camp even concludes. Chicago didn’t exactly have a stellar defense last year, so perhaps this will make every Bears game a track meet.

He was limited to individual work, but it’s a good sign that Evans is back on the field at all. It does seem like his quad injury isn’t much to worry about and that he can be drafted with that in mind.

Solak believes he is “not sure he’s the same athlete he was before,” but running quarterback is a way that Watson could find some fantasy usefulness in deeper leagues while he’s starting. We’ll believe it when we see it and there’s not a locked in job here for Watson, but perhaps this is a way to make him a bye week starter in superflex leagues.

Not a glowing review. Combine Bernard’s struggles with the idea that the Steelers might remain run-heavy this year (also espoused by Solak) and it feels like Bernard might just be a deep-league bench option this year. It should be noted that the overwhelming majority of the drumbeat about Bernard this offseason has been positive, so perhaps this was just an off-day.

Ah, that doesn’t sound ominous at all. Garrett told McVay he’s at “85 percent” at the moment. Garrett had been practicing before this, so perhaps this winds up being nothing and they’re merely holding him out to be safe. But knee swelling does not tend to lead anywhere good.
