Walker is not expected to practice Tuesday due to a foot injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Walker has avoided the injury bug since joining the Chiefs over the offseason, but he has picked up a foot issue with just a few weeks to go before the regular season. The extent of the injury is not yet known, but his status will be updated again when more details are released. Emari Demercado and Emmett Johnson are in line for added work should Walker miss any further time.

Richardson will start the Colts' preseason finale against the Lions, Around the NFL reports.

Indianapolis will give Richardson the nod for the preseason finale after Riley Leonard handled the bulk of the work in the team's second preseason contest. Richardson was relatively sharp but still had turnover issues in the preseason opener before getting minimal work the following week. Indianapolis' battle for the No. 2 quarterback spot still seems undecided as the regular season draws near.

Skattebo is listed as the Giants' starting running back on the team's unofficial depth chart for the preseason finale versus the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Skattebo seems to have pulled ahead from the pack as the Giants get their plans in place for the final preseason game. The Giants had previously listed Skattebo as the co-starter with Tyrone Tracy earlier in camp. However, now Skattebo sits unchallenged atop the unofficial depth chart while Tracy, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary are on the next line.

Herbert is expected to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Rams, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

The Chargers plan to get their key personnel one more dose of game action before the season gets underway. Other than Derwin James and Khalil Mack, the starters will be on the field for about 6-8 plays. After that final tuneup, Herbert and the Chargers will get ready for Week 1 against the Cardinals.

Jackson (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Monday.

Jackson is in line to miss the season if he remains with the Commanders. He played in three games with the team last season, recording three tackles.

Ward (back) is back participating in individual drills at practice Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Ward dealt with back tightness during the offseason and has continued to battle it this summer, causing him to miss the past couple weeks of action. The Colts will now aim to get Ward ready for the regular-season opener 19 days from now Sept. 13 against the Ravens. Ward is expected to bookend Sauce Gardner at cornerback for Indianapolis.

Harris was released by the Commanders on Monday.

Washington made a flurry of moves Monday, including the release of safeties Harris and Malik Spencer to make room for Joshuah Bledsoe and Quindell Johnson. Harris was a staple on Washington's defense last season, playing 559 snaps.

Woodaz (thumb) is expected to be ready for the Texans' regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Bills, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Woodaz suffered a broken thumb last Thursday against the Raiders and underwent surgery Monday. The rookie linebacker should be ready for Week 1, but it's possible he plays with the thumb heavily taped or in some sort of cast. Woodaz is expected to act as Azeez Al-Shaair's top backup but could also see snaps alongside him and Henry To'oTo'o at linebacker while contributing on special teams.

Basham was signed by the Commanders on Monday.

The Commanders added some veteran edge depth Monday with Basham joining the team. Basham played in three games with the Panthers last season and hasn't played more than five games in a season since 2023.

Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said Monday that there had been "a mild setback" with Mitchell with an undisclosed issue.

McDaniel did not indicate what Mitchell has experienced a setback from, as no injury to the running back has been reported this offseason. "I think the running back position is, we sustained a mild setback with Keaton, but realistically, that's a position that you're always wanting to have three, and I like what our young guys are doing to press into that group," McDaniel said regarding the Chargers' backfield depth. Mitchell could be held out of the team's preseason finale Thursday against the Rams, but as yet there's no suggestion he could sit out Week 1 against the Cardinals.
