Edwards-Helaire logged four carries for six yards and caught his lone target for nine yards during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

Edwards-Helaire logged all four of his carries in the third quarter. He didn't get a chance to tote the rock until after Kendre Miller, Velus Jones and Cam Akers all logged rushing attempts in the first half. New Orleans was also without sixth-round rookie Devin Neal (hamstring) on Sunday. Once Neal is healthy, Edwards-Helaire will likely be left on the outside looking in at the depth chart. His next chance to play this preseason will come Sunday, Aug. 17 against Jacksonville.

Austin caught four of five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

Austin hauled in passes from all three quarterbacks who played for the Saints on Sunday, including Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough and Jake Haener. The fourth-year wideout finished second on the team in targets and receiving yards behind Dante Pettis (six) and Mason Tipton (54), respectively. Austin is competing with Pettis and Tipton for the Saints' final wide receiver spot this preseason. Tipton had the biggest highlight play with a 54-yard touchdown reception, but none of these three seemed to separate themselves in this competition during Sunday's preseason opener. Their next opportunity will come versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Aug. 17.

Shaheed did not play in Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

Shaheed was in uniform and warming up with the Saints' starters pregame, but he ultimately stayed on the sideline during Sunday's loss. He and Chris Olave (ankle) are the two wideouts who are guaranteed to have a starting spot for the Saints when healthy this season, so it's unlikely that either player will need to play much this preseason. The next opportunity for Shaheed and Olave to suit up this preseason will come versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Aug. 17.

Tipton logged one reception (three targets) for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

Tipton was on the receiving end of New Orleans' biggest highlight play Sunday, breaking wide open deep before catching a pass in stride from quarterback Tyler Shough for a 54-yard touchdown in the third quarter. This was the second-year wideout's first target of the game, and he finished in a four-way tie for the fourth-most targets on the team Sunday. Tipton was one of the standout players from last year's preseason for the Saints, and he appeared in 11 regular-season games during his rookie season. He'll be competing with Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and others for the team's final wide receiver spot heading into the 2025 campaign.

Whyle recorded one catch on two targets for seven yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Whyle appeared third on the Titans' initial depth chart, and his usage Saturday backed that up. He wasn't targeted until the fourth quarter and played behind both Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm. Whyle was reportedly on the roster bubble entering training camp, and his usage at the very least suggests his primary role could come on special teams if he sticks in Tennessee.

Hamilton (quadriceps) worked out for the Commanders on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hamilton injured his quad in Week 16 last season while with the Falcons and finished out the 2024 campaign on injured reserve. Now healthy, the 32-year-old is looking for a new opportunity ahead of the 2025 season. He has 109 regular-season games of NFL experience.

Dickerson was carted off the practice field with an apparent knee injury Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dickerson was favoring his right leg and was previously on the injury report with a knee issue. The star left guard was unable to put any weight on his leg as he got onto the cart. The Eagles already lost RG Mekhi Becton to the Chargers in free agency earlier this offseason and can't afford to lose Dickerson to a significant injury. Kenyon Green (shoulder) would be next up at left guard, but he was injured in Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals. Dickerson's injury is certainly one to monitor.

Jefferson did not catch his only target during Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

More important than his stat line, Jefferson played with the starting unit. He received his lone target on the opening drive and played 13 offensive snaps, comparable to Calvin Ridley's 11 and Tyler Lockett's 10. Jefferson was listed as a starter on Tennessee's initial depth chart, and his usage supported that.

Hall suffered a right shoulder injury in Sunday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Hall was injured while doing pass-rush drills. The 24-year-old played 49 defensive snaps in Friday's preseason opener against the Bengals, recording three tackles (one solo). Hall has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL contest.

Rogers exited Sunday's preseason game against the Saints with an undisclosed injury and didn't return, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Rogers limped off the field with the assistance of the team's training staff, and it looked to be a lower-body issue. He's never appeared in a regular-season NFL game.
