Fidone (undisclosed) caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason win over the Bills.

Fidone was hampered by an undisclosed injury throughout the week, but he was able to give it a go in the team's first preseason contest. The tight end is competing for a reserve role in 2025, and he'll look to build off of Saturday's performance moving forward.

Davidson (hamstring) recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bills.

Davidson recently missed time with the hamstring issue but looked good against Buffalo. Selected in the fifth round of the 2022 Draft, Davidson appeared in 12 regular-season contests last season, recording 23 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries.

Gilliam (groin) secured his only target for 19 yards during Saturday's 35-24 preseason loss to the Giants.

Gilliam had been managing a groin injury, but he was healthy enough to suit up for preseason action Saturday and connect with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky for a 19-yard gain in the second quarter. The fullback appeared in 15 regular-season games with Buffalo in 2024, though he only logged three carries for seven yards in that span.

Jackson (personal) played in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants and recorded three tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup.

Jackson missed minimal practice time tending to a personal issue earlier in the week. He's expected to be a big part of Buffalo's cornerback picture this season alongside Christian Benford, Taron Johnson, Tre'Davious White and rookie Maxwell Hairston.

Rupich (triceps) played 46 offensive snaps during Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to Tampa Bay, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Rupcich ended the 2024 season on IR, but he's now back to full health and competing for a depth role along the interior O-line. He played a backup role across Tennessee's first seven regular-season games of the 2024 campaign.

Shough completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 165 yards, one touchdown and one interception with one rushing attempt for three yards in Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

Shough entered Sunday's exhibition behind Spencer Rattler (7-for-11, 53 yards) but wound up producing the preferred stat line while operating the second-string offense. Both inexperienced arms committed a turnover apiece while playing roughly a combined three quarters of action. This is truly shaping up to be a tight competition for the starting gig in New Orleans come Week 1. It wouldn't be surprising to see Shough get the nod under center against the Jaguars next Sunday in order to give both players a fair shake at being evaluated this preseason.

Coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Jones (hamstring) remains without a timetable for return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Jones has been sidelined for the past two weeks and doesn't appear close to getting back on the field. A seventh-round pick in 2023, Jones started all 17 regular-season contests last season, finishing with 100 tackles (66 solo), 12 pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble. The Colts are counting on Jones to start opposite Charvarius Ward (leg) this season.

The Rams activated Edwards (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Edwards began training camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but he's now healthy enough to resume practicing. He'll look to use Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers as an opportunity to make up for lost time.

Duncan (shoulder) played 42 offensive snaps during Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Duncan missed Week 18 of last season due to a shoulder injury, but he's now healthy. The 2023 sixth-round pick projects to enter the regular season as a backup offensive tackle for Tennessee.

Rattler completed seven of 11 pass attempts for 53 yards and rushed three times for 22 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

Rattler was unimpressive in his preseason debut with the first-team offense, failing to generate points on any of the five drives he led Sunday. The 2024 fifth-round pick did pace the team in rushing yards (22), but he also was sacked three times and coughed up a fumble on the first play of the second quarter. Fellow starting candidate Tyler Shough also committed a turnover in relief of Rattler, but the rookie's interception was offset by scoring the team's only passing touchdown of the game. Rattler appeared to have the early edge in the starting QB competition coming into camp, but Shough had more success moving the ball on offense after one exhibition. The two young signal-callers will continue jockeying for position when the Saints host the Jaguars in next Sunday's preseason tilt.
