“His range and his hands remind me more of Colston,” Carmichael said. “He runs better than I think people give him credit. He timed real well at the Combine. I think that speed shows up on film.” Toon will compete with Lance Moore, Devery Henderson, and Adrian Arrington for playing time across from Colston.

Egbuka reportedly underwent more testing with a specialist today, who confirmed Ebuka indeed sprained his toe but determined that the injury is “stable.” This is great to hear. The second-year player is a high-ceiling WR2 candidate this season. The Buccaneers face the Bengals in Week 1, in what should be a fantasy-friendly environment.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the team is not concerned about Smith’s foot soreness, writing, “if this was a regular-season game, he’d be a go.” Smith has reportedly been pushing the ball downfield in practice. Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the Jets’ passing attack will have to check back next week to see if the foot issue has been resolved. Rookie QB Cade Klubnik gets the start tonight.

Lawrence was an impactful player on the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX defense, leading the team in forced fumbles (five) and ranking in the top two in quarterback pressures (65) and sacks (10) across the full season. Lawrence, 34, should be a productive player once again this season.

Garafolo captioned a report from ESPN’s Katherine Terrell regarding Tyson’s new injury, adding that Tyson’s “timeline to return is TBD but doesn’t seem it’ll be anytime soon.” Here’s what we know: Tyson injured his right hamstring yesterday. Multiple right hamstring injuries derailed his 2025 college season and kept him from participating in the pre-draft process. Saints coach Kellen Moore initially said the new injury is unrelated to Tyson’s prior injuries, but New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett noted today that Moore “changed his wording to say it wasn’t ‘necessarily’ related.” Moore also said that Tyson’s Week 1 availability may be impacted. Here’s hoping that Tyson’s decision to seek multiple opinions yields multiple positive reports. Stay tuned.

The journeyman offensive lineman was on seven different teams over the course of his career. He initially entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Texans. He played for them for four seasons before making his way around parts of the league. Lamm had signed with the Ravens earlier this month, but they placed him on the reserve/retired list today.

Buchanan suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 15 last year. Before the injury, the then-rookie racked up 93 tackles, five TFLs, and 0.5 sacks. The Ravens correspondingly placed OT Kendall Lamm on the reserve/retired list.

The league determined that Mathis violated the Substances of Abuse Policy. The suspension begins on August 30th. He will be eligible to return on September 28th.

Johnson was found to have violated the Performance Enhancing Drug Policy. He signed with the Titans this offseason after appearing in one game for the Chiefs last year. He is likely to play a backup role in Tennessee this year.

The league has ruled that Armstrong violated the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. Armstrong, 29, suffered a season-ending knee injury in October last year. He currently projects as a rotational edge rusher in Washington.

Jacobs has been sidelined since August 6th and still faces a possible suspension from the NFL if the league determines that he violated the Personal Conduct Policy. He is still the starting running back in what has been an efficient offense, but 28-year-old running backs have certainly enjoyed better circumstances in the lead-up to a new season. He makes for a risky RB2 candidate at the moment.
