Jones (ankle) started Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins.

Jones got the start at left tackle and played 35 offensive snaps after missing Detroit's previous exhibition last week. The 29-year-old is competing for a backup tackle spot in Detroit.

Hassanein suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's preseason game versus Miami, Richard Silva of the Detroit News reports.

It sounds like Hassanein could miss some time, as coach Dan Campbell said, "Out of the (injuries) we had today, he might be the one that could be a minute. It could be a little bit." Hassanein was a sixth-round pick out of Boise State back in April.

Felton caught both his targets for 32 yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Patriots. He added 21 yards on one kickoff return.

The rookie third-round pick got the start with Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Jordan Addison (suspension) and Jalen Nailor (hand) all on the sidelines, but Felton didn't flash until No. 3 QB Brett Rypien entered the game. The duo connected for gains of 20 and 12 yards on the Vikings' final possession of the first half, setting up a Will Reichard field goal. Felton is battling with Lucky Jackson for the No. 4 spot on the wideout depth chart -- a role that could end up being significant early in the season with Addison set to miss the first three games -- and he may have gained an edge in that competition after Jackson caught only one of his five targets Saturday in a shaky performance. However, Felton did fumble on a kickoff return, which could hurt his chances to win a return job.

Gipson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.

Gipson has been dealing with a shoulder issue for two weeks but suited up to play Saturday. However, he exited early and went to the locker room after returning one kickoff for 23 yards.

Jackson caught one of five targets for nine yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to New England.

With Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Jordan Addison (suspension) and Jalen Nailor (hand) all held out of the contest, Jackson got the start but did very little with the opportunity. The second-year wideout out of Western Kentucky is battling with 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart -- a role that could end up being significant early in the season with Addison set to miss the first three games -- but Saturday's performance likely caused Jackson to lose ground in the competition.

Scott carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards, caught three of four targets for 44 yards and returned one kickoff for 20 yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Patriots.

The 26-year-old running back spent last season on the Vikings' practice squad, and Scott appears to have used his time well because he's on the cusp of taking the No. 3 spot on the depth chart away from Ty Chandler. Scott's usage as a return man might be the clearest sign yet he's moved past Chandler in the pecking order, as Chandler's special-teams role was thought to be his one clear edge in the battle. Even if he wins the job, Scott's snaps on offense will likely be very limited with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason entrenched in the top two backfield jobs.

Herbig exited Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers with a hamstring injury and will not return, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Herbig missed four regular-season games with a hamstring injury last season. A fourth-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Herbig recorded 22 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles in 2024. Herbig and Alex Highsmith (groin) are expected to be keys in the Steelers' pass rush opposite T.J. Watt this season.

Chandler gained 12 rushing yards on three carries and failed to catch his only target in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Patriots.

The fourth-year back got the start ahead of Zavier Scott, his main competition for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, but it was Scott who saw more work and led Minnesota in rushing yards on the afternoon. Chandler saw his yards per carry drop from 4.5 in 2023 to just 3.3 last year, and if he can't find another gear before the end of the preseason, he might find himself on the outside looking in for a spot on the Week 1 gameday roster.

Taylor suffered a dislocated shoulder in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

San Francisco's backfield is injured and ailing after Saturday, as both Taylor and Corey Kiner (ankle) suffered multi-week injuries to join Isaac Guerendo (shoulder), Jordan James (finger) and Ameer Abdullah (ribs, IR) on the shelf. Prior to leaving Saturday, Taylor rushed four times for minus-six yards.

McMillan won't return to Saturday's preseason game at Pittsburgh due to a back injury and also is under evaluation for a concussion, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

McMillan was undercut while making a leaping grab in the first quarter and landed hard on his neck and helmet. While he remained on the turf for a spell, he was able to walk off the field under his own power before being ruled out. If a concussion is confirmed, McMillan will be subject to the protocol for head injuries in order to practice and eventually see game action again.
