A former blue-chip recruit who was rated as the 44th overall player from the 2019 prep class, To’o To’o (6’1/227) spent his first two collegiate campaigns at Tennessee. He earned SEC All-Freshman Team recognition while starting 12 games and recording 72 in his first year on campus, and finishing fourth in the SEC with 10.0 TFL as a sophomore before shipping off to chase national titles at Alabama. He started every game for the next two years while accruing 205 tackles, 15.5 TFL, and 6.5 sacks while twice receiving All-SEC honors. To’o To’o’s 6.74 RAS shows decent athleticism, with his 97th percentile 1.55s 10-yard split being his most projectable test result in addition to middling jumps and agility drills. He’s a dependable, well-schooled field general who takes good angles, is adept at separating from blockers, and converts tackle opportunities. However, the Bama standout can be too easily overpowered by downblocks, isn’t a blitz threat, and is a step behind in coverage due to stiff hips. While To’o To’o has a lot of the intangibles you look for in a middle linebacker, he is more workmanlike than dynamic and should be able to provide credible production at MLB for a mid-round investment.

Garrett missed four practices with lower-body soreness, but suited up and practiced Wednesday. There is no concern for the star 30-year-old pass rusher; Garrett is back on the practice field and could be sharing the field with Aaron Donald soon.

Juszczyk missed practice Wednesday due to a broken finger. Also missing practice was WR Jacob Cowing, who was dealing with a hip flexor strain. It is unclear how much time the two will miss, but add them to the long list of offensive skill player injuries for the 49ers in training camp.

In an appearance for the Up & Adams show, Henry said, “when I hang it up, Baltimore is the last place I want to be.” The 32-year-old later followed up on social media by saying he “would like” to finish his career with the Ravens, but clarifying he “never said anything about retiring.” Henry is still producing at a high level and is not headed for retirement just yet. However, when he does consider retirement, he hopes to close out his career with the Ravens. Henry has produced 3,516 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns in two seasons with the Ravens and is currently under contract through 2027.

Myarick is a fullback/tight end hybrid who last appeared in a regular season game for the Giants in 2022. The Raiders add him as a preseason body in training camp and his addition indicates Klint Kubiak has fullback plays he wants to draw up, with Connor Heyward already with the team at the position. Tight end Zack Kuntz and safety Tanner Wall were waived as a result.

He suffered the calf issue in the spring and has yet to practice, but that is set to change. Conklin will presumably be activated from the PUP list and return to practice tomorrow. He will serve as a depth option behind Sam LaPorta.

Rico Dowdle is listed as the RB2. We wouldn’t read into this too much, but it does align with the approach fantasy managers have been taking to this backfield. Warren currently comes off the board at RB27 while Dowdle sits at RB32. With a larger role through the air also in his future, Warren continues to looks like a safe bet for FLEX-worthy fantasy numbers in 2026.

Fowler noted that Wicks has been taking advantage of his extra opportunities with both DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon sidelined. Philly traded for Wicks this offseason and even added an additional year to his contract after making the move. Wicks played under new OC Sean Mannion in Green Bay, giving him some extra familiarity with the offense. He may still be stuck with a No. 3 role once Lemon and Smith are healthy, but Wicks should produce the occasional spike week as the team’s deep ball specialist.

This comes from the league’s official transaction wire, unlike Donald’s previous visit with the Rams. According to PFT, he worked out in a helmet to see how he felt. The visit wasn’t meant for the Rams to evaluate Donald. We’re going to assume Donald has stayed roughly in football shape if he’s considering a return to LA. While it’s not a done deal just yet, all signs point to him playing with the Rams this year.

Writing in his Last Man Standig blog, Standig added that Bill has also improved in pass protection. Rachaad White was brought in to handle work on passing downs, but the Commanders only paid him $2 million on a one-year deal. JCM could easily eat into White’s role through the air if he rounds out his skill set. White currently goes ahead of JCM in Best Ball drafts. That ADP could easily flip with another round of Bill hype.

McDaniel said you could see how focused Hampton was between the offseason program and the start of training camp. Coaches praising their players is nothing new, but it can’t hurt for a second-year back to catch the eye of one of the most successful play-callers in the NFL. Hampton appeared in only nine games as a rookie, and his role declined in the second half of the season. Currently going off the board as fantasy football’s RB8, Hampton needs to improve in year two to pay off his lofty ADP.
