Green left the Eagles' preseason game Thursday against the Bengals with an apparent right wrist injury, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Green is attempting to revive his career after being traded to the Eagles this offseason, but he's battled a few injuries during the preseason. He was sidelined to begin training camp with a knee injury, and it remains to be seen how much time he'll miss with the wrist issue.

Blue underwent an MRI following his early exit from Thursday's practice that revealed a bone bruise in his heel, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Blue described it as an ankle injury earlier Thursday, but testing has honed in on its true nature after he was stepped on by a teammate. Fellow RB Miles Sanders has been dealing with a knee bruise, which leaves Javonte Williams as the lone healthy member of the trio vying for most of the backfield work for the Cowboys in 2025. Beyond Williams, Deuce Vaughn, Hunter Luepke and Phil Mafah are the Dallas backs that aren't banged-up at the moment.

Morris (leg) started Seattle's preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Morris suffered a leg injury Tuesday during practice and was seen with ice around his left leg. The issue turned out to not be severe, as he was able to suit up two days later in Seattle's first preseason contest.

Brooks took 10 carries for 26 yards and caught one of two targets for three yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles.

Chase Brown played 11 of 15 snaps for the first-team offense, with Samaje Perine taking the other four snaps but not getting any touches. Neither appeared to play at all thereafter, leaving Brooks in a three-down role for much of the game, getting snaps and touches well into the fourth quarter before Gary Brightwell took over at the end. Brooks didn't find much room to run, with his best play of the night arguably being a touchdown-saving tackle after an interception. The rookie sixth-round pick nonetheless has every chance to earn a Week 1 roster spot, as the Bengals don't have much of note in the backfield beyond Brown and Perine. Even the No. 3 RB role might put Brooks an injury away from fantasy value, seeing as Perine has largely been a passing-down specialist in the NFL.

Wester returned a punt for an 87-yard touchdown and caught two of three passes for a team-high 41 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against Indianapolis.

Wester had 2,099 receiving yards over his final two collegiate seasons, but as a rookie sixth-round pick in a deep offense, he'll probably need to make his mark in the return game initially. He may have already earned his roster spot, with the standout performance Thursday coming on the heels of positive reports out of Ravens training camp. The team does have other options for returns, however, including Tylan Wallace, Jaire Alexander and Keaton Mitchell.

Ward (foot) was booked into the Montgomery County jail after being arrested on a warrant Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Ward was originally arrested in June on third-degree felony domestic violence charges, and he'll now await a court date on Aug. 13 after testing positive for alcohol -- a violation of his pre-trial release. Ward has yet to practice during training camp while tending to a foot injury.

Tuimoloau exited Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens due to a knee injury and did not return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

The Colts selected Tuimoloau in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he was likely in line for a rotational role along the defensive line. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined.

McKee completed 20 of 25 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals, adding a third TD on his lone rush attempt.

He cemented his status as everyone's favorite backup QB, putting up 10 points on the first two drives while leading Philadelphia's second-string offense against Cincinnati's first-string defense. McKee capped of the first series with a fourth-down Tush Push, later throwing a pair of TD passes after both teams had worked further down their depth charts. He's locked in as Philadelphia's No. 2 quarterback, ahead of Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Kyle McCord.

Perine didn't get any touches but played four of 15 snaps with the first-team offense in Thursday's preseason opener at Philadelphia, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Chase Brown played the other 11 first-team snaps and took eight touches for 48 yards. Neither Brooks nor Perine appeared to play after the second drive, with rookie Tahj Brooks taking over and dominating carries into the second half. This seems like a decent preview of what to expect during the regular season -- namely, Perine getting some playing time on pass plays but not seeing much of the ball. The question is whether he or Brooks would have more value in the event of a Brown injury.

Dotson caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Thursday's preseason game against Cincinnati.

Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com notes that Dotson and RG Tyler Steen were the only projected starters on offense to play for Philadelphia. It's not where Dotson imagined he'd be when Washington took him 16th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he at least did his part to help Philly's second-string offense score a TD against Cincinnati's first-string defenders. The No. 3 WR role in Philadelphia isn't one where snaps are likely to translate to many targets, unless maybe the Eagles are missing a couple of their skill-position standouts (A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, Dallas Goedert). The good news for Dotson is that he looks like the leader for the No. 3 job again, ahead of Johnny Wilson, Terrace Marshall (knee), Ainias Smith and others.
