  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: More reason for optimism

    Reagor took part in Friday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Reagor was a surprising full participant in Thursday's practice, and his presence at Friday's session suggests he didn't suffer any setbacks with the shoulder injury that was expected to cost him at least a game or two. He isn't officially in for Week 1, but the arrow is certainly pointed in the right direction for the rookie.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Practicing again Friday

    Parker (hamstring) suited up for Friday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    It's not clear how much work Parker got in, but he was able to take the practice field for the third straight day. His status for Sunday's season opener against the Patriots will be revealed after Friday's session comes to a close.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Takes part in Friday's practice

    Evans (hamstring) took part in Friday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    It appears Evans was only able to practice on a limited basis Friday, but it's a good sign that he was on the field after sitting out the previous two days. While Evans' participation provides reason for optimism, his status for Week 1 has not yet been determined and may not be until game day.

  • Texans' Brandin Cooks: Records two catches in debut

    Cooks (quadriceps) secured two of five targets for 20 yards in the Texans' 34-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday.

    The offseason acquisition ended up making a modest impact in his Texans debut, although he did finish second on the team in targets to Will Fuller. Likely working against Cooks in his Texans debut was both the quadriceps injury that had him carrying a questionable tag into the day, as well as the limited opportunities he's had thus far to build chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fantasy managers can at least take solace in the fact Watson didn't hesitate to look Cooks' way a fair amount of times right from their first game together. The veteran receiver will now also have some valuable extra time to address both his recovering leg and synergy with his signal-caller before a Week 2 home matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Sept. 20.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Texans' Randall Cobb: Pair of grabs in team debut

    Cobb brought in two of three targets for 23 yards in the Texans' 34-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday.

    The veteran slot receiver's role in the offense was talked up by coach Bill O'Brien during training camp, but Cobb was missing in action for the majority of his Texans debut. The 30-year-old finally recorded his two catches in the fourth quarter, making it a relatively quiet night overall. The lack of the usual amount of on-field work this offseason likely didn't help matters for Cobb with respect to building chemistry with new quarterback Deshaun Watson, but he'll look to put together better production in a tough Week 2 home battle against the Ravens on Sunday, Sept. 20.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Finds end zone in win

    Hill brought in five of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 34-20 win over the Texans on Thursday.

    Hill had a quiet night by his lofty standards, but the Chiefs passing game as a whole ceded some production to the spectacular exploits of rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Hill still rewarded fantasy managers by making a three-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter to essentially put the game out of reach, as his touchdown pushed Kansas City's lead to 30-7 at the time. Hill should naturally continue to enjoy a robust role in the game plan each week despite the presence of an array of weapons that now includes Edwards-Helaire, and he'll look to up his yardage totals in a Week 2 matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

  • Seahawks' Phillip Dorsett: Limited again Thursday

    Dorsett (foot) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Dorsett has put together back-to-back limited showings so far this week, but coach Pete Carroll said the wide receiver "should be OK" for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Friday's injury ultimately will reveal Dorsett's odds to suit up this weekend.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Falcons' Russell Gage: Puts in full practice Thursday

    Gage (groin) practiced fully Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Gage missed some time recently due to a groin injury, including being listed as limited at Wednesday's session, but the Falcons allowed him to handle every rep Thursday. Now ready to face the Seahawks on Sunday, he slots in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

  • Papi White WR | JAC

    Papi White: Handed four-game ban

    White was suspended four games by the NFL for an undisclosed reason Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The reason behind the suspension remains unclear, however, White faces a four-game ban should he sign with another team as a free agent. White has never suited up for regular-season action, and he most recently spent time on the Titans' practice squad.

  • Keke Coutee WR | MIA

    Texans' Keke Coutee: Not playing Thursday

    Coutee (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday at Kansas City.

    Coutee starts this season much like he ended the 2019 campaign: on the inactive list. Granted, he dealt with a stress fracture in his foot during camp, but the injury didn't impact his practice reps in advance of Week 1. While he dons street clothes Thursday, the Texans will roll with Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, Kenny Stills and DeAndre Carter at wide receiver.
