New Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker caught only 31 passes over 17 games last season, but Kansas City should unlock more receiving production. Beat writer Jesse Newell writes that Walker “figures to be heavily involved in what was a dormant screen game last season.”

The Boston Sports Journal's Mike Giardi believes the Patriots' "RB pecking order is established," with Rhamondre Stevenson ahead of TreVeyon Henderson. "Stevenson is the between-the-tackles guy, and until proven otherwise, the most reliable back on passing downs," Giardi writes. "That’s not just for his blitz pickup, which is superior to Treveyon Henderson’s, but he’s surehanded and has continued to flash that this summer. ... As for Henderson, I told you I haven’t seen much improvement with his vision and patience, but I don’t have access to practice film."

TE Darren Waller has inked a one-year deal with the Panthers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Waller came out of retirement last year and put together nine efficient games for the Dolphins. He turns 34 in September but immediately becomes the favorite to lead a weak Panthers TE group.

Christian McCaffrey sat out practice with 'tightness,' according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Fantasy managers have reason to notice it, but the 49ers are not concerned.

After getting rolled up on and limping off the practice field earlier in the day, Emeka Egbuka has been tagged with a toe sprain per Rick Stroud of Tampa Bay Times. The timeline and severity of the toe sprain remain unknown until imaging results come back.

After a positive start to training camp since tearing his ACL, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports, “Malik Nabers did less today than he had been.” He also added, “He worked on the side for a bit, then walked inside with a doctor an hour into practice.”

In a battle between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons have yet to name their starting QB. But ESPN’s Marc Raimondi reports that they plan to have Tagovailoa be their starter for the initial preseason game on Friday.

Eagles TE Eli Stowers continues to struggle in training camp, with The Philly Voice’s Geoff Mosher saying he’s still learning the position and struggling with the game’s physicality. The team drafted Stowers in the second round of the NFL Draft this past April as a potential heir apparent to TE Dallas Goedert. Stowers' receiving ability and athleticism could've gotten him on the field, but it appears he's too far behind to open the season as a contributor.

We passed along some hype on Patriots TE Eli Raridon earlier this week. Now The Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan is suggesting that Raridon might be pushing TE Hunter Henry for work. Per Callahan, Raridon got more first-team snaps than Henry in three straight practices, culminating with Tuesday's joint practice with the Colts.
