De'Zhaun Stribling WR | SF
49ers' De'Zhaun Stribling: Working through shoulder issue
Stribling is considered day-to-day due to a shoulder injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Stribling may have picked up the injury during the 49ers' 41-17 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday, when he caught four passes on five targets for 46 yards. He's seen plenty of action over the Niners' first two exhibition games, so San Francisco could take the cautious route with the rookie second-rounder and hold him out of this Thursday's preseason finale against Las Vegas.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Fails to log catch in preseason loss
Bryant did not catch his only target in the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.
Bryant joined Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle as the Broncos' starting wideouts in Friday's preseason game. Although Bryant was listed as a starter, it remains to be seen whether he'll end up being the WR3 for the regular season, as he continues to face competition from Marvin Mims (undisclosed) and Troy Franklin. The Broncos wrap up the preseason this Friday against the Vikings.

Adam Randall RB | BAL
Ravens' Adam Randall: Doesn't play due to injury
Head coach Jesse Minter told reporters that Randall (undisclosed) is "working through things physically," which is why the rookie fifth-rounder did not play in the Ravens' 13-3 preseason win over the Vikings on Saturday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
The nature of Randall's injury is not clear, but the Ravens took the cautious route in holding the Clemson product out of Saturday's preseason contest. Randall's practice participation over the coming week will factor into whether he suits up for the Ravens' preseason finale against the Commanders on Friday. He is competing with Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) for Baltimore's RB3 job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Seth McGowan RB | IND
Colts' Seth McGowan: Eight carries in second preseason game
McGowan rushed eight times for 27 yards in Saturday's 34-6 preseason loss to the Falcons.
McGowan started for the second time in as many preseason games, but the rookie seventh-round pick didn't find much running room in the lopsided loss. DJ Giddens is working his way back from a hamstring injury, and the 2025 fifth-round pick represents McGowan's main competition for the backup role behind workhorse Jonathan Taylor. The Colts will wrap up preseason play next Saturday against the Lions.

Anthony Richardson QB | IND
Colts' Anthony Richardson: Plays fourth after three quarters of Leonard
Richardson completed three of nine passes for 24 yards and rushed three times for 15 yards in Saturday's 34-6 preseason loss to the Falcons.
Riley Leonard started Saturday's second preseason game Saturday and played the first three quarters before Richardson came in for the fourth quarter. Leonard wasn't much better than Richardson, completing seven of 14 passes for 62 yards, but the usage of the two young QBs in this game suggests Richardson has fallen behind in the battle for the second spot on the depth chart behind Daniel Jones. Richardson will have one more chance to stake his claim to the backup role in next Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions.

Devin Neal RB | MIN
Saints' Devin Neal: Goes to locker room Saturday
Neal (undisclosed) went to the locker room during the first half of Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Neal appeared to come up lame following a four-yard run in the first quarter. The nature of the injury has not been announced, but it might be related to the hamstring injury that prevented Neal from playing in the Saints' preseason opener against the Jaguars.

J.J. McCarthy QB | NYG
Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Banged up in preseason game
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that McCarthy was "a little hobbled" following Saturday's 13-3 preseason loss to the Ravens, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
McCarthy appeared to sustain the injury toward the tail end of the first quarter, and O'Connell relayed that the third-year quarterback would have been in the game for one more offensive series had it not been for the injury. He'll undergo further tests over the next couple of days, which will factor into whether he's available for the Vikings' preseason finale against the Broncos this Friday. Kyler Murray has already been named Minnesota's starter, and while McCarthy is lined up to be the backup, the latter is facing competition from Carson Wentz for the No. 2 job.

Michael Penix Jr. QB | ATL
Falcons' Michael Penix: Cleared for team drills
Penix (knee) has been cleared to participate in 11-on-11 drills, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
It's a positive step in Penix's recovery from ACL surgery that he underwent in November. He's been limited to 7-on-7 drills for most of training camp, but the expectation is that he'll upgrade to full team drills Monday. Depending on how his knee reacts to additional work, Penix could play in the Falcons' preseason finale against the Dolphins on Friday.

Chigozie Anusiem DB | LV
Raiders' Chigozie Anusiem: Lands on IR
The Raiders placed Anusiem (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Anusiem will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season after suffering a knee injury during Thursday's preseason game versus the Texans. The 25-year-old will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Falcons' Nick Folk: Hits all six kicks
Folk made both of his field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries in Saturday's 34-6 preseason win over the Colts.
Folk posting an accurate performance is nothing new, as he has missed exactly one field-goal attempt in each of the past three regular seasons. The 41-year-old kicker showed he still has some power left in his leg as well Saturday, as he converted 51-yard and 50-yard field-goal attempts Saturday.
