He allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, who was also taken into custody for trying to stop the arrest. Billingsley was an undrafted free agent in 2008.

The Saints’ presumed passing down specialist is on track to play. Kamara sprained an MCL on August 18th, but the rehab is evidently going well. It is unclear whether Kamara could rotate in when the offense enters scoring position. Consider him a PPR FLEX option.

Delp is almost assuredly going to be ruled out tomorrow. The rookie tight end was unlikely to meaningfully challenge TE Juwan Johnson for targets early in the year, and the hamstring strain only reinforces that.

The Falcons’ third-round rookie wide receiver could end up playing this week, but his inability to practice fully will keep him in a pure backup role. Branch does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Tagovailoa was seen grabbing at his back before removing himself from team drills earlier today. It turns out he is dealing with an oblique issue. The media viewing session ended before the Falcons began team drills, so it was unclear whether he rejoined his teammates. Backup QB Cooper Rush later told reporters that he took all first-team reps thereafter. Tagovailoa is now firmly in the questionable column for Week 1.

Earlier today, we learned that the Falcons’ Week 1 starting QB Tua Tagovailoa removed himself from individual drills with an apparent back injury. A report shortly after practice revealed that he suffered an oblique injury. As things currently stand, Rush should probably be treated as the expected starter for the Falcons’ Week 1 game against the Steelers. He is a low-end QB2.

Bears OL coach Dan Roushar adds that the team would “rather be a day too late than a day too early” with Trapilo, but it sounds like the young offensive tackle could join his teammates in team drills soon. The team has “confidence he can quickly return to the level he finished last season at.” That would be great news for the offense as a whole. The 2025 second-round pick produced a promising rookie season before rupturing his patellar tendon.

It’s unclear whether Hall added the “if necessary” bit or if Cimini did, but regardless, this is good to hear. Hall is practicing in full leading up to the Jets’ Week 1 game against the Titans and can be treated as an RB1. Jets RB3 Isaiah Davis (knee) is also practicing fully.

It sure looks like the hamstring strain that Johnson suffered more than a month ago is going to keep him sidelined for the Bills’ season opener against the Texans. Starting RB James Cook was expected to play a larger role in the passing game this year. With Johnson sidelined, Cook could hog passing down snaps.

The Colts waived Jones only two days ago. He now hops across the AFC South to Tennessee. The Titans correspondingly waived CB Melvin Smith Jr.

Tagovailoa reportedly “missed the first week of training camp due to lower back spasms.” Perhaps they are still an issue. Tagovailoa grabbed at his back before sitting down. After returning to his feet, he walked off the field and watched his teammates practice for the rest of the media’s viewing period. Tagovailoa is slated to start in Week 1 against the Steelers, though he is only a low-end QB2. The team named QB Cooper Rush as the primary backup in front of QB Jack Strand.
