Jordan is dealing with a hip flexor strain and will be sidelined for "roughly a week," Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Per Wilson, Jordan has been having a good camp, but he'll have to take some time off due to the injury. That likely rules him out of Houston's first preseason game (Thursday, Aug. 13, versus the Chargers), but Jordan could still get a chance to show off his skill set in game action before the start of the regular season. As it currently stands, he's expected to work as the Texans' third running back this season behind David Montgomery and Woody Marks.

Price (lower body) didn't practice Saturday, but coach Mike Macdonald said the rookie running back should be back in a matter of days, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Price has missed the past two days of practice due to what Macdonald has called soreness in his lower body, but the head coach suggested Saturday that the issue is minor. That doesn't necessarily mean Price will play in the team's first preseason game next Saturday versus Dallas, but he's expected to be back at practice before then. Price is ticketed for a big role in Seattle's backfield as a rookie, and he could be the team's Week 1 starter at RB if Zach Charbonnet (knee) isn't ready to suit up.

McGovern had to leave practice early Saturday due to what appeared to be a right leg injury, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

McGovern favored his right leg as he walked to the locker room, but he was at least able to exit under his own power. Coach Joe Brady said after practice that he didn't yet have an update on McGovern, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. McGovern signed a four-year deal in March to remain with Buffalo and is expected to once again serve as the team's starting center, if healthy.

Tunsil tore his right triceps during practice Saturday and is expected to need surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

According to Garafolo, Tunsil is expected to miss "at least a significant portion" of the 2026 season. The loss of Tunsil for any length of time is a brutal blow for the Commanders offense, as he's regarded as one of the league's top left tackles and was signed to a two-year, $60.2 million contract extension in March, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. For however long as Tunsil is sidelined, Brandon Coleman is expected to step in as the Commanders' starting left tackle, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

Johnson left practice early Saturday due to an apparent right knee injury, Matt Parrino of NYup.com reports.

Johnson was participating in 1-on-1 drills when he went down and immediately grabbed his right knee. The running back was escorted to the sideline, and then to the locker room, by team trainers. There's no word yet on the exact nature or extent of Johnson's injury, but any absence lingering into the regular season would be a blow to Buffalo's backfield depth, as the versatile tailback is expected to again work in a dual-threat role behind James Cook and Ray Davis.

Vaughn (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Vaughn signed with Seattle on Aug. 1, but he suffered an injury soon thereafter and was waived/injured Friday. Because he wasn't claimed off waivers, the linebacker has reverted to IR. Vaughn will therefore need to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Seattle.

Silver (undisclosed) reverted to IR on Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Silver opened training camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed issue. He was activated Wednesday but was waived/injured just two days later, though it's unclear if he's dealing with a new injury or an aggravation of the previous one. Regardless, since he went unclaimed off waivers he's landed on IR, which means Silver will need to sit out the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New Orleans.

Rucker (ankle) reverted to injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Rucker hurt his ankle during practice Thursday and was waived/injured Friday. He cleared waivers and has thus been placed on IR. Rucker will consequently miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.

Howell has "been a monster in camp," particularly surprising the Bengals' coaching staff with his strength, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports.

Howell, the Bengals' second-round draft pick out of Texas A&M, is expected to be part of a defensive end rotation for the Bengals, lining up behind Boye Mafe, Myles Murphy and likely Shemar Stewart, though Stewart's knee injury could open the door for Howell to get more early reps.

Snowden (undisclosed) and the Cowboys reached an injury settlement Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Snowden had reverted to IR in early August, so the injury settlement means he won't be forced to miss the entire campaign. However, the 28-year-old is also slated to serve a three-game suspension, which could impact his pursuit of work with another organization. Snowden played the past two seasons with Las Vegas, starting 18 of the 31 games in which he appeared.
