Greenlaw (quadriceps) is not in uniform for Saturday's preseason matchup against the 49ers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton had offered optimism that Greenlaw would take the field Saturday, but the veteran linebacker will instead remain sidelined as he continues to manage a quad injury. Denver may simply be taking a cautious approach to the starting linebacker's health, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be cleared to suit up for preseason action Saturday, Aug. 16 versus the Cardinals.

Marks carried the ball three times for four yards and added 26 yards on one kickoff return in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.

Even with Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) out of commission and both Nick Chubb (head) and Dameon Pierce sitting out the Texans' exhibition opener, it was veteran special teams ace Dare Ogunbowale who got the start in the backfield. Marks, a 2025 fourth-round pick out of USC, was the second back into the game for Houston, but he didn't see many touches before giving way to Jawhar Jordan. Given the draft capital used to acquire Marks -- the Texans burned a 2026 third-round pick to move up and get him -- his spot on the roster should be secure, but it's not clear if he'll have much of a role in the offense to begin his rookie campaign.

Houston (groin) has been ruled out to return to Saturday's preseason context against the Titans, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Houston, who hasn't suited up for regular-season action since he appeared in two games with the Cowboys in 2022, has spent training camp competing for a depth role in Tampa Bay's crowded wide receiver corps. The severity of his groin injury remains uncertain, but Houston's next opportunity to appear in preseason action will come Aug. 16 against the Steelers, if healthy.

Mills completed four of five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.

The 26-year-old backup quarterback got the start due to C.J. Stroud being held out of the Texans' exhibition opener, but Mills played only one drive, which he capped with a 14-yard TD to Braxton Berrios. Mills is set as Houston's No. 2 QB, but it's a role that hasn't led him to much action since Stroud got to town, as the former has attempted only 75 passes in 10 regular-season games over the last two seasons.

Correll sustained an ankle fracture during Saturday's 20-10 preseason win over the Texans, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Correll's injury could realistically sideline him the rest of training camp and the preseason, if not longer, though the Vikings haven't yet offered a specific timetable for his expected recovery. If Minnesota opts to place the undrafted rookie out of NC State on injured reserve, he will be slated to miss the entire 2025 campaign, barring an injury settlement.

Brown (ankle) isn't playing in Saturday's preseason contest against the Cardinals, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown's absence from the game was expected, as he's dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him out of practice since July 29. Rashee Rice is also being held out of action Saturday as he deals with a minor groin injury. It's not yet clear if either wideout will play in next Friday's preseason clash against Seattle.

Rice (groin) isn't suiting up for Saturday's preseason matchup versus Arizona, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Rice was been dealing with a groin injury, though the issue has been described as minor by head coach Andy Reid. It's not surprising, however, that the star wideout won't play Saturday, as there's no reason for Kansas City to risk aggravating the issue in the first game of the preseason. Hollywood Brown (ankle) also isn't suiting up Saturday, so Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce should be the top pass-catching options for Patrick Mahomes, who's slated to see some action in the game.

Kittle isn't warming up ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos and isn't slated to play, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The 49ers are holding out most of their regular starters for the preseason opener, as Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and Ricky Pearsall, among others, are also apparently sitting out despite being healthy. With Kittle observing from the sideline Saturday, Luke Farrell figures to get a good look at tight end in his first game action with San Francisco since signing as a free agent during the offseason.

White (groin) is ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason matchup against the Titans.

White handled one more carry after initially suffering his groin injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports, which could be interpreted as a positive sign that the injury isn't overly serious. If White were to miss any time, however, Sean Tucker would get the chance to carve out a complementary role alongside Bucky Irving. White's next chance to retake the field for preseason action will come Saturday, Aug. 16 versus the Steelers.

Purdy didn't warm up and isn't likely to play in Saturday's preseason game against Denver, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Purdy is among a slew of 49ers healthy regulars, including Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall on offense and Nick Bosa and Fred Warner on defense, who don't appear to be playing in the preseason opener. Mac Jones figures to get a good look behind center against the Broncos.
