Spencer Shrader K | IND
Colts' Spencer Shrader: Likely clinched placekicking job
Shrader took all the kicks in Saturday's preseason game, which likely means he's won the starting job, the Indianapolis Star reports. He made all four field-goal attempts, including a 56-yarder, and converted his lone extra-point attempt.
Maddux Trujillo is expected to get all kicking opportunities in the final preseason game. Shrader has been seen as ahead in the kicking competition throughout training camp.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Dealing with PCL injury
Mingo suffered a PCL injury in his right knee during Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Mingo will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, but it sounds like Mingo could miss some time. It's a tough break for Mingo after he made a splash play, reeling in a 49-yard catch versus Baltimore one play before he was injured. Mingo is competing for a role behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin in Dallas' wide receiver corps.

RJ Harvey RB | DEN
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Rush TD in preseason win
Harvey rushed three times for 18 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for two yards in the Broncos' 27-7 preseason win over the Cardinals on Saturday night.
Harvey, the first running back in the game for Denver, made good use of his trio of rushes, capping off a first-quarter drive he started with a two-yard catch by recording an eight-yard touchdown run up the middle. The rookie second-round pick saw a bit less work than in the preseason opener against the 49ers, but that could simply be a sign Harvey is already locked into what will likely be relatively high-volume No. 2 role behind J.K. Dobbins to open the season. Given his importance to the offense, Harvey may not see the field in Denver's preseason finale against the Saints on the road next Saturday afternoon.

Sean Tucker RB | TB
Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Minimal impact in preseason win
Tucker rushed the ball four times for six yards in Saturday's 17-14 preseason win over the Steelers. He added two receptions on four targets for 11 yards.
Bucky Irving handled all the running back touches on Tampa Bay's first three offensive drives before Tucker relieved him. Tucker had the chance to impress with Rachaad White (groin) sidelined, though he found little room to run with his longest gain going for only six yards. Tucker will begin the season as either the second or third running back on the depth chart, depending on White's availability.

Jacoby Brissett QB | BAL
Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sharp in preseason loss
Brissett completed six of eight passes for 57 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Cardinals' 27-7 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night. He also rushed once for two yards.
Brissett and the Cardinals' offense started slowly with a five-play drive that culminated in a punt, but the second possession was a different story. The veteran signal-caller helmed an 11-play, 67-yard march he capped off with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Simi Fehoko and in which he recorded five completions overall. Brissett had 12- and 17-yard connections with Andre Baccellia and Xavier Weaver during the drive, and he was done for the night following the scoring toss. Brissett is firmly entrenched as Kyler Murray's primary backup as the regular season approaches.

Cade Otton TE | TB
Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Makes preseason debut
Otton didn't make a catch on two targets in Saturday's 17-14 preseason win over the Steelers.
Otton has been sidelined for much of camp by a hamstring injury, but he returned to practice Monday. His participation in this contest is further confirmation that he should be on track to start the regular season, barring a recurrence of the issue. Otton played on three offensive drives with some of the Buccaneers' other starting skill-position players, including Bucky Irving.

Stetson Bennett QB | LAR
Rams' Stetson Bennett: Sharp in second preseason contest
Bennett completed 28 of 40 passes for 324 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.
Bennett has now played the entirety of both of the Rams' preseason contests and has performed well in both. Overall, he's completed 44 of 64 passes for 512 yards while throwing five touchdowns as compared to two interceptions. Bennett looks to be locked into the third spot on the depth chart.

Konata Mumpfield WR | LAR
Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Works as starter
Mumpfield recorded two catches on four targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.
The Rams rested all of their key pass catchers, including Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. That gave Mumpfield the chance to start, and he delivered a four-yard touchdown reception midway through the first quarter on a quick slant pattern. Mumpfield appears to be the favorite for the fifth spot on the wide receiver depth chart, particularly after drawing praise from coach Sean McVay earlier in training camp.
-
Jarquez Hunter RB | MIA
Rams' Jarquez Hunter: Another heavy workload
Hunter rushed the ball 15 times for 55 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers. He added one reception on one target for two yards.
Kyren Williams was rested, leaving Blake Corum as the starting back for the Rams. Hunter entered the game after one possession, but he appears to still be third on the depth chart entering the team's final preseason contest. He did show the ability to break tackles on a few of his carries while carrying a heavy workload in his second contest as a pro.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Still ahead of Hunter
Corum recorded four rushes for 22 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.
Kyren Williams and all starters in the Rams' offense sat Saturday, leaving Corum as the first back on the field. He played only one series before giving way to rookie Jarquez Hunter, but Corum still appears to be the favorite to begin the season second on the depth chart.
