Isaac suffered a dislocated elbow in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas and will be sidelined for a few weeks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

A third-round pick out of Penn State last year, Isaac appeared in just four regular-season games as a rookie, logging four tackles (two solo) and one pass breakup. Now expected to miss multiple weeks, Isaac could be viewed as a candidate to be placed on injured reserve in Baltimore.

Johnson rushed the ball 11 times for 50 yards in Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers. He made one reception on one target for nine yards.

Johnson entered the game after Kenneth Gainwell and played deep into the third quarter, while Jaylen Warren rested. Johnson found running room difficult to come by for much of the contest, though he did rip off gains of 14 and nine yards on the ground. While his usage behind Gainwell suggests there is still plenty of room for Johnson to improve, he did seemingly take a step forward relative to his first preseason contest.

Wilson didn't gather in any of his three targets during Saturday's 31-12 preseason defeat to the Giants.

Wilson has yet to record a catch on four passes from new QB Justin Fields through two exhibitions, but the former's standing as the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Jets' passing game isn't in question. Once Week 1 rolls around, Wilson should be good for the typical 9.2 targets per game that he's averaged through three pro campaigns, all of which have resulted in 1,000-yard seasons.

Hall turned seven carries into 26 yards and didn't haul in his only target during Saturday's 31-12 preseason loss to the Giants.

Hall and Braelon Allen split the backfield work during the Jets' first two possessions of preseason Week 2, with the latter also earning seven carries (for 34 yards) on the evening. The operation under new head coach Aaron Glenn figures to be ground-based, considering the mobile Justin Fields will be directing the offense this season, but Hall appears as if he'll be ceding some carries to Allen on a weekly basis. Hall is coming off a third pro campaign in 2024 in which he notched 1,359 yards from scrimmage and eight total TDs on 266 touches across 16 regular-season games.

Conner exited Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos with a knee injury and will not return, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Conner went down and immediately started pointing to his inner leg, suggesting it could be a potentially significant injury. He was sixth-round pick out of Texas back in April.

Matthew exited Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens with a groin injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

The 28-year-old signed with the Cowboys last month and is competing for one of the final roster spots in the Dallas secondary. A seventh-round pick by the Cardinals in the 2022 Draft, Matthew didn't play in a regular-season game last season after being placed on injured reserve by the Ravens prior to Week 1.

Egbuka recorded one catch on two targets for five yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 17-14 preseason win over the Steelers.

Egbuka was on the field for the first three drives for Tampa Bay and made his impact on the final possession. His lone catch was an impressive grab in the corner of the end zone that he made around Brandin Echols in coverage. Egbuka has gotten strong reviews in training camp and has made an impact in both preseason contests, leaving him in a strong position to make an early impact in his rookie season -- particularly if Chris Godwin (PUP-ankle) is sidelined to open the campaign.

Coach John Harbaugh said after Saturday's 31-13 preseason win in Dallas that Mitchell is dealing with a hamstring injury but may be able to play in next Saturday's exhibition at Washington.

Mitchell hasn't practiced since suiting up in the Ravens' preseason opener on Thursday, Aug. 7, when he took nine carries for 68 yards and one touchdown. The nature of his injury wasn't revealed until Harbaugh touched on it Saturday, and even if he doesn't play next weekend, the running back will "be fine" for a Week 1 road matchup with the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 7. Once Mitchell is healthy, he's poised for a reserve role behind workhorse Derrick Henry and complementary option Justice Hill.

Irving rushed the ball eight times for 12 yards in Saturday's 17-14 preseason win over the Steelers. He added one catch on two targets for 15 yards and a touchdown.

Both Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans were on the sidelines for rest, but Irving was one of the few established starting skill-position players to take the field for Tampa Bay. He played three offensive drives and was used heavily on the ground with little effect, though he showcased his pass-catching ability with a nice contested catch in the end zone over Payton Wilson to cap the first offensive possession. Irving established himself as a strong pass catcher as a rookie, but this was still an encouraging preseason debut overall.

Gardner (calf) didn't play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Giants, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Coach Aaron Glenn said Gardner is still dealing with soreness in his calf. He missed practice most of this past week, but the severity of the injury isn't known. There's been no indication that Gardner is in jeopardy of missing Week 1 against the Steelers in three weeks.
