Collins brought in two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 20-3 preseason win over the Panthers on Saturday afternoon.

Collins played on the first two drives with the rest of the Texans' first-team offense and caught his touchdown from five yards out on fourth down to cap off the full first unit's time in the game. He's once again primed for a massive role in Houston's air attack this coming season, especially with Tank Dell (PUP, knee) still facing a highly uncertain return timeline.

Nwangwu (calf) is in line to play against the Giants in Saturday's preseason game, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Nwangwu has been nursing a calf injury that he suffered in the Jets' preseason opener against the Packers, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to play Saturday. With Isaiah Davis (ankle) ruled out, Nwangwu is in line to see the bulk of the backfield carries Saturday, assuming that Breece Hall and Braelon Allen are limited to the first couple of offensive series.

Gipson (shoulder) is in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Gipson has been cleared to play in Saturday's exhibition game after working through a shoulder injury for the past two weeks. The third-year wideout is competing for a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster as a returner and in a depth role at wide receiver.

Davis (ankle) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Davis has been working through a minor ankle injury, and the 2024 fifth-rounder will be held out of Saturday's exhibition contest to avoid aggravating the issue. If Kene Nwangwu (calf) is also ruled out, Donovan Edwards and Lawrance Toafili would be in line to manage the bulk of backfield carries, assuming Breece Hall and Braelon Allen are limited to the first couple of offensive series. Davis will aim to return to practice next week and be available for the Jets' preseason finale against the Eagles on Friday.

Taylor (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Taylor suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter and will leave Saturday's game with four carries for minus-six yards. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, leaving his status for the 49ers' preseason finale against the Raiders on Saturday, Aug. 23 up in the air. With Taylor and Corey Kiner (leg) both suffering injuries, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Jeff Wilson will handle backfield duties for the 49ers for the rest of Saturday's exhibition contest against Las Vegas.

Gabriel completed 13 of 18 passes for 143 yards and an interception in Saturday's 22-13 preseason win over the Eagles. He also gained one yard and lost a fumble on two carries.

The 2025 third-round pick looked good at times while playing the entire first half for the Browns, leading the team to three scores on five possessions, but he also made a poor decision on a pick-six that snuffed out a drive deep in Philly territory in the first quarter and botched a handoff to Pierre Strong in the second. Gabriel will continue to get valuable reps while Kenny Pickett (hamstring) and Shedeur Sanders (oblique) are sidelined, but based on Saturday's performance, he's still a long way from unseating Joe Flacco for the top spot on the quarterback depth chart.

Wilson is warming up and appears to be in line to start Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson is warming up alongside wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed), who all look set to join him on the field Saturday, though Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder) is dressed in street clothes. Wilson completed six of seven passes for 28 yards during New York's preseason opener against the Bills, and he'll now look to prove up to the challenge presented by the Jets' stout secondary.

Nabers (toe/shoulder) is present on the sidelines but not dressed to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nabers appears set to miss a second consecutive preseason contest due to lingering shoulder and toe injuries, while starters Russell Wilson, Darius Slayton (undisclosed), Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed) are all warming up and appear in line to play. The Giants haven't yet expressed any concerns about Nabers' availability for Week 1, but at this stage it remains to be seen if the star second-year pro will be in consideration at all for the team's exhibition finale against New England on Thursday.

Herbert (undisclosed) did not play in the Colts' 23-19 preseason loss to the Packers on Saturday.

Herbert has been sidelined for the past week due to an undisclosed injury, which prevented him from suiting up in Saturday's exhibition contest. The severity and nature of the injury are not clear, but Herbert's practice participation this upcoming week will be an indication of his chances of playing in the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Saturday, Aug. 23. He's battling against DJ Giddens and Tyler Goodson for backup duties behind Jonathan Taylor in the backfield.

Hyatt (undisclosed) is warming up Saturday and appears set to suit up for the Giants' preseason game against the Jets, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt wasn't able to suit up for New York's preseason opener against Buffalo and had recently been limited to individual drills, but the 2023 third-round pick now looks back to full health. A strong showing versus the Jets could assist Hyatt in his goal of securing the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (undisclosed). Hyatt has reportedly bulked up to around 190 pounds after playing last season at 172.
