KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Four touches in Thursday's loss
Turpin carried the ball twice for nine yards, caught both his targets for 18 yards and added 81 yards on four kickoff returns in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.
The new kickoff rules helped Turpin gain a big chunk of all-purpose yards, but the fourth-year wideout didn't see a significantly larger role on offense than he did in 2024 -- he saw at least four touches on six occasions last year. Turpin is a threat for a big play whenever he gets the ball in his hands, but outside of formats that reward return yards, his fantasy value remains limited.

Ashtyn Davis SAF | SF
Dolphins' Ashtyn Davis: Playing in Week 1
Davis (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Davis upgraded to full practice participation Friday after beginning the week with back-to-back limited sessions, confirming that he's moved past his ankle issue in time to play in Week 1. The first-year Dolphin is expected to start at strong safety in 2025 after posting 35 total tackles and two interceptions with the Jets in 2024.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Out for Week 1
Berrios (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, there's optimism from the team Berrios will be able to return relatively soon. With both Berrios and Christian Kirk (hamstring) out for Week 1, the Texans are expected to lean on Nico Collins and rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel against the Rams. Veteran Justin Watson is also in line for an increased offensive role.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Status in question for Sunday
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that McCaffrey (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Shanahan added that McCaffrey's calf injury "came up yesterday" in reference to the running back's limited practice Thursday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, and that he didn't take part in any drills Friday. With his status for Week 1 up in the air and a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff on tap Sunday, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo are the 49ers' healthy backfield options in the event McCaffrey is inhibited or even sidelined.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Little usage in opener
Tolbert caught one of two targets for zero yards in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.
The Cowboys' target tree was narrow in their season opener, with CeeDee Lamb (13 targets), Jake Ferguson (six) and George Pickens (four) accounting for 23 of Dak Prescott's 34 throws on the night. Tolbert has little competition for the third spot on Dallas' wide receiver depth chart, but at least based on the first game with Brian Schottenheimer calling plays, it doesn't seem as though it's a role that will lead to much volume for the fourth-year player. Tolbert will try to get more involved Week 2 against the Giants.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Questionable for Sunday
Eskridge (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
After beginning Miami's week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, Eskridge was a full participant Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. However, the 28-year-old still needs to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Week 1. If he's unable to do so, Tahj Washington could see a bump in snaps as a reserve wideout.

Tre'Davious White CB | BUF
Bills' Tre'Davious White: Doubtful for Sunday night
White (groin) is doubtful for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
White didn't practice at all this week and doesn't appear to be particularly close to returning to the field after initially getting injured in late August. The good news for Buffalo is that fellow corner Christian Benford (groin) practiced fully Thursday and Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 1.
-
Sean Tucker RB | TB
Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Good to go Sunday
Tucker (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Tucker practiced in full all week and should be fine for his RB3 role in the Tampa Bay backfield. Rachaad White dealt with a groin issue earlier in the preseason but wasn't even listed on the injury report this week and has been practicing without limitations for the last couple weeks, leaving Tucker behind both Bucky Irving and White to open the season. Tucker would likely need an injury to one of the two in order to find his way into meaningful playing time and touches.

Cameron Heyward DE | PIT
Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Week 1 availability uncertain
Heyward said Friday he's "preparing" to play Sunday against the Jets, though he wouldn't commit to being on the field amid a lingering contract dispute, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Heyward's availability for Sunday's season opener may hinge on a reworked contract being worked out between him and the Steelers. The veteran pass rusher has been participating in practice, so he's unlikely to face a ramp-up period before taking the field. Heyward had 8.0 sacks and 11 passes defensed in the 2024 regular season.

Wyatt Milum OT | JAC
Jaguars' Wyatt Milum: NFL debut on hold
Milum (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Milum was held out of practice all week due to a knee injury, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined for the Jags' regular-season opener Sunday. The 2025 third-round pick is likely to serve as Jacksonville's top reserve guard once he returns to full health.
