Johnson didn’t appear to be hampered by the groin injury that has been nagging him of late. He tied for the team lead with 10 targets, highlighted by an 11-yard fade for a touchdown. Remarkably consisted early on, Johnson has a touchdown in all three games this season. He’s a borderline WR1 next week at Cincinnati.

This is unfortunate. Wills spent 2025 rehabbing knee issues stemming from the 2023 season. The former PFWA All-Rookie Team (2020) member may be able to find a backup role elsewhere in the NFL. He left practice early last week and may have suffered an injury.

The trade was first reported by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, who added that the Jets and Raiders are “flopping” 2027 sixth- and seventh-round picks as part of the deal. Meredith started 19 games for the Raiders over the last two years and signed a one-year deal as a restricted free agent in the offseason. Now he’ll head to the Jets, where he’ll serve as much-needed interior offensive line depth.

Strong was released right after it was reported that the team was acquiring Kaleb Johnson from the Steelers. He spent the 2025 season on the Packers’ practice squad and was elevated for two games. Strong will likely find work on another practice squad once rosters are settled.

A three-year starter for the Bengals from 2022-24, Volson missed all of 2025 with a shoulder injury. That didn’t stop the Titans from giving him $2 million guaranteed in free agent. That was evidently a huge mistake. Now 28 years old with zero appearances since the 2024 season, Volson won’t be guaranteed to get a second chance elsewhere, but it’s possible a more stable franchise figures out how to better deploy him as a reserve interior lineman.

Per Maske, the NFL’s substances of abuse policy outlines a three-game suspension for a “first offense of a violation of the law involving alcohol,” which would encompass the two DWI charges levied against Allen early Sunday morning. There is no telling when a potential suspension would be on the table for the veteran receiver, leaving fantasy managers in the dark as they contemplate additional variance associated with his profile. The additional details surrounding Allen’s specific arrest could lessen league discipline as well considering he was parked illegally and not in the act of driving, but the law is clear in that any person sitting in a vehicle with keys is considered with intent to operate while intoxicated. More to come as the most recent saga plays out.

Watson played heavily in Week 1 of last season but drifted into the background as Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins got a larger snap share. The 30-year-old is a good special teamer and has a chance to catch on elsewhere.

The Browns hope to sign the rookie pass rusher to the practice squad, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. This will happen if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Trice has not played an NFL game yet after tearing an ACL in 2024 and missing 2025 due to a setback from the initial injury. He did play a bit in the preseason. We’ll see if he can catch on elsewhere after the injuries.

Seattle drafted Henderson with the No. 199 pick this year. He posted a breakout season at Kansas in 2025 and was a strong kick returner in college. He is a candidate to land on the Seahawks’ practice squad.
