Bengals | Joe Burrow could play in preseason Thu Aug 12, 01:31 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow on Thursday, Aug. 12, was ruled out of the team’s preseason opener Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but head coach Zac Taylor left the door open for Burrow playing in the final two exhibition contests. ‘I’m not ready to rule anything out for future games,’ Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: We’ll see if that happens because it could go either way. Burrow is still coming back from his knee injury suffered last season and there’s no need to push things in the preseason. |
Giants | Daniel Jones to sit out game Thu Aug 12, 01:23 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (coach’s decision) won’t play Saturday, Aug. 14, in the team’s preseason opener against the New York Jets. QB Mike Glennon will get the start and will be spelled by QB Clayton Thorson.
| Footballguys view: It’s an interesting decision from the Giants to be sure. Jones is in a make-or-break season with the team and could use all the reps he can get. We’ll see what Jones can do when he gets into game action. Having a healthy RB Saquon Barkley and WR Kenny Golladay will help. |

Raiders | Marcus Mariota dealing with sore leg Thu Aug 12, 12:57 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Marcus Mariota (leg) is dealing with a sore leg, head coach Jon Gruden said Thursday, Aug. 12, and his status is questionable for Saturday’s preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders could shut down Mariota for this first preseason game. That means Nathan Peterman would get more (much needed) work in a reserve role behind starter Derek Carr. |

Jets | Elijah Moore injures quad Thu Aug 12, 12:46 PM
New York Jets WR Elijah Moore (quadriceps) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 12, with a quadriceps injury, according to head coach Robert Saleh. He will undergo an MRI later Thursday and could miss the the Jets’ preseason opener Saturday against the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are up in arms with this news. Moore has been one of the most talked about players in Jets camp and he’s been standing out in practice. We’ll know more about the severity of his quad injury after results of the MRI are revealed. |

Ravens | Rashod Bateman to have surgery Thu Aug 12, 12:26 PM
Updating previous reports, Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (groin) will undergo groin surgery and is expected to return sometime in September, head coach John Harbaugh said Thursday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Returning in September doesn’t mean it will be the start of the regular season. Sometime in September also doesn’t mean Bateman will look like himself immediately upon his return. Fantasy GMs in most leagues will have to keep the talented rookie on the waiver wire speed dial. He’s going to miss some time but with his route-running ability and secure hands we could see him thrive towards the end of the year. |
Saints | Michael Thomas meets with coach Thu Aug 12, 10:30 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas met with head coach Sean Payton recently, and the two sides are working toward a resolution of their differences. ‘They had a good talk about [the issues],’ one source said. ‘I think they both believe it’s not anything that has to go any further than what is already out there. There was some frustration from both viewpoints, and that was the point of the meeting.’
| Footballguys view: Thomas didn’t return phone calls from the team this offseason and then showed up to camp with an ankle that needed surgery. The team wanted to keep tabs on him in the offseason but there was something behind the scenes preventing Thomas from answering their calls. Clearing the air is nothing but a good thing, but there are many around the NFL who think Thomas will move on from the Saints in 2022 (there’s a potential out in his contract after this year per Spotrac). Stay tuned. |

Patriots | Pats QBs to play in preseason opener Thu Aug 12, 09:51 AM
New England Patriots QBs Cam Newton and Mac Jones will both play in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 12. Head coach Bill Belichick has previously said that Newton is the team’s starting quarterback, so Newton would be expected to take initial snaps.
| Footballguys view: How long does Newton stay the starter? That’s the main question for Patriots fans and Fantasy GMs this year. Newton looked bad as the starter last year, and the team selected Jones in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft to be a potential franchise quarterback. Jones fits what OC Josh McDaniels wants to do and it seems like only a matter of time before the rookie takes over. |

Titans | Ryan Tannehill likely to skip preseason game Wed Aug 11, 08:47 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Tannehill is not expected to play in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 13, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Tannehill is a seasoned pro and doesn’t need all the reps in the preseason. They will get him ready for preseason game no.2 and then likely shut him down until the start of the regular season. |

Jets | Denzel Mims’ offseason demise spurred by illness Wed Aug 11, 04:29 PM
New York Jets WR Denzel Mims ate bad salmon during the spring, triggering a bout of food poisoning that caused him to lose 20 pounds, vomit for two weeks and required antibiotics because of an intestinal infection. It reportedly took him two more months to regain the weight.
| Footballguys view: Mims has talent but he’s slipped down the Jets depth chart. He’s not a great fit for the system of the new staff (Shanahan/Kubiak offense) so perhaps a trade would be best for both sides. We’ll see if Mims can bounce back from this bad offseason. |
