        James Conner

        ARI RB

        James Conner Uncertain For Week 1, Tyler Allgeier The Lead Back?

        James Conner Uncertain For Week 1, Tyler Allgeier The Lead Back?

        Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur admitted Wednesday that it's "too early to tell" whether RB James Conner will be available for Week 1. Conner continues to work back from last September's season-ending right ankle injury. He's "progressing well," LaFleur added.

        49ers WR Mike Evans "plans to play Week 1," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Evans has dealt with recurring quad issues this summer and is currently sidelined with a groin injury.

        Following the Commanders' joint practice with the Ravens, just a few weeks before opening weekend, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic says this is the worst she's seen the Commanders' offense in years. She even went as far as to say the offensive line appeared 'inoperable'.

        It’s been nearly two weeks since Jeremiyah Love suffered what the Cardinals were reluctant to call a high-ankle sprain. Cardinals beat writer Theo Mackie reported that Love was doing ankle agility work with trainers ahead of the team’s joint practice with the Packers today.

        In the Packers joint practice on Wednesday, Jordan Love torched the Cardinals defense. Love completed 8 of 10 passes in the first team period, which included a 45-yard deep-ball TD to Matthew Golden per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. He also connected with Christian Watson multiple times and completed a deep crosser to Jayden Reed.

        After being cleared to practice four days ago, Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Michael Penix Jr. won't play in the final preseason game, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tua Tagovailoa will be the starting QB on Friday, as three practices are too soon for Penix Jr. to return to game action.

        Bears WR Luther Burden returned to a "short, light" practice on Wednesday, according to The Chicago Tribune's Sean Hammond. It sounds like Burden would have been listed as "limited" if this was the regular season, but it's another positive step in his return from an August 8 groin injury.

        Lions TE Sam LaPorta was back on the practice field on Tuesday, less than a week after HC Dan Campbell was non-committal on his Week 1 availability due to a hip injury. LaPorta took part in individual and team drills, per The Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett. Barring a setback, LaPorta is on track to be a full-go come Week 1.

        Colts WR Josh Downs is sidelined with a calf injury. He was allowed to speak to the media on Wednesday, though, and called the issue "very minor." We'll keep an eye on him, but we're not moving Downs in the WR rankings for now.

        Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is not practicing on Wednesday after hyperextending his left knee in Tuesday's workout, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. Chase was not wearing any protective or supportive equipment on the injured knee, though. It continues to look like Chase dodged a serious injury and will be ready for Week 1. He's still worth a top-4 pick in fantasy drafts.
