AJ Dillon RB | CAR
Eagles' AJ Dillon: Not slated to play Friday
Dillon isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason game at the Jets, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
After sitting out the 2024 season due to complications stemming from a stinger, Dillon joined the Eagles on a one-year contract in March. He then suited up for both of the team's first two exhibitions, totaling eight carries for 34 yards and four catches for 13 yards. He's been listed as Philadelphia's third RB on the unofficial depth chart behind Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley during training camp, which may not afford him much more than short-yardage work once Week 1 rolls around.

Lions' Graham Glasgow: Dealing with minor injury
Glasgow (lower leg) is nursing a minor injury after having exited Thursday's practice early, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Glasgow left practice early Thursday due to an apparent lower body injury, but the Lions have no long-term concerns about his availability. It sounds like the starting guard can be considered on track for Week 1 against the Packers on Sunday, Sep. 7, though it remains to be seen whether he'll be cleared in time for Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans.

TJ Moore CB | NYG
Giants' T.J. Moore: Undergoing surgery
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Moore (leg) will undergo surgery Friday or Saturday.
Moore currently remains in the hospital due to a leg injury he suffered during Thursday's preseason win over the Patriots, and for which he had to be carted off the field. The cornerback appears set for a prolonged absence, and Daboll did not comment on any tentative recovery timetable Friday.

Derrick Harmon DT | PIT
Steelers' Derrick Harmon: Expected to begin year on IR
Harmon (knee) is believed to have sustained an MCL sprain during Thursday's preseason win over the Panthers and is expected to start the regular season on IR, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Harmon will only have to miss the first four games of the regular season if Pittsburgh places him on IR with a return designation on the final cutdown day for the 53-man roster. The rookie first-round pick was carted off the field during Thursday's preseason win. Once fully recovered, Harmon will resume pushing for starting reps at defensive end opposite veteran Cameron Heyward, looking to bolster a pass-rush unit led by T.J. Watt.

Jaden Smith WR | DAL
Jaden Smith: Waived/injured by Buccaneers
Tampa Bay waived Smith (undisclosed) on Friday with an injury designation, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Smith will be set to revert to season-ending IR if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The nature and severity of the 6-foot-6 former Nevada standout's injury remain undisclosed, but if he does revert to IR, the only way Smith will be eligible to play in 2025 is by reaching an injury settlement with the Buccaneers.

Thomas Fidone II TE | NYG
Giants' Thomas Fidone: Catches TD in preseason finale
Fidone caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in a 42-10 preseason win against the Patriots on Thursday.
Fidone's touchdown came on a three-yard strike from Tommy DeVito in the third quarter. However, the tight end's most impressive play was arguably a 28-yard connection with DeVito early in the fourth quarter that finished just shy of the end zone, setting up a one-yard TD pass from DeVito to another tight end (Greg Dulcich). Fidone's performance capped a strong preseason three-game slate during which he caught eight of nine targets for 64 yards. While the Giants have a pretty crowded tight-end room, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post projects Fidone to make the team's initial 53-man roster, potentially as New York's third option at the position behind Theo Johnson and Chris Manhertz in a scenario that includes Daniel Bellinger being moved via trade.

A.J. Brown WR | NE
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Running routes pre-game
Brown (hamstring) went through a pregame workout Friday, John Clark of NBC Philadelphia reports.
Brown has been managing a hamstring injury since the first week of August, with no indication so far that it's considered a threat to his Week 1 availability. Fantasy managers will feel much better if he returns to full practice participation soon, but Friday's video of the pregame workout suggests Brown's hamstring is feeling much better, running routes and catching passes at close to full speed.

Kevin Foelsch TE | PIT
Kevin Foelsch: Parts ways with Steelers
Pittsburgh cut Foelsch on Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Foelsch has spent time with the Panthers, Jets, Eagles, Chiefs and Steelers since going undrafted out of New Haven in 2024, but he's still searching for a chance to make his regular-season debut. The second-year tight end will likely end up finding a spot on a practice squad this season.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Patriots' Hunter Henry: Among starters rested Thursday
Henry didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.
After logging six snaps in the Patriots' preseason opener, Henry didn't see action in the team's final two exhibition tilts, with an eye toward keeping him healthy ahead of Week 1. Henry, who is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a receiving line of 66/674/2 on 97 targets in 16 games, approaches the coming campaign as New England's top pass-catching option in a TE corps that also returns Austin Hooper, who recorded 45 catches on 59 targets while working in tandem with Henry last year.

Evan Hull RB | ARI
Evan Hull: Let go by Steelers
Pittsburgh cut Hull on Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Hull inked a reserve/future contract with the Steelers back in January, but despite spending the entire offseason with the team he couldn't secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster. He may be a candidate to resurface on the practice squad, however.
