  Colts | Carson Wentz may only miss a few days    Mon Aug 30, 02:09 PM

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts QB Carson Wentz is considered a close contact to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 and can return to practice in five days if he does not show any symptoms and tests negative, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Someone on the staff tested positive for COVID-19 and Wentz now has to sit out for a few days. He should be able to come back in the near future. Jacob Eason gets to run the first team with Wentz out.

  Ravens | Marquise Brown to return to practice    Mon Aug 30, 01:41 PM

Baltimore Ravens WR Marquise Brown (hamstring) will participate in practice Monday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: Brown has been limited to doing individual work on the side in training camp. With the preseason wrapped up, it’s time to get Brown out there in preparation for the regular season. Expect him to be somewhat limited as they get him ready for Week 1.

Indianapolis Colts WR Zach Pascal and C Ryan Kelly were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aug. 30.

  Ravens | Nick Boyle to miss start of season    Mon Aug 30, 01:17 PM

Baltimore Ravens TE Nick Boyle (knee) will not be ready for the start of the regular season and will be placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list or Reserve/Injured list.

Footballguys view: On the PUP list, Boyle will miss at least the first six weeks of the regular season. Boyle injured his knee last November and needed multiple surgeries to correct the issue. The team was hopeful he’d be ready for the start of the regular season but that’s not the case. Without Boyle, the team will turn to guys like Eric Tomlinson/Josh Oliver behind starter Mark Andrews.

  Patriots | Cam Newton in driver’s seat?    Mon Aug 30, 01:05 PM

New England Patriots QB Cam Newton played a few snaps with the starters Sunday, Aug. 29, before QB Mac Jones entered with the backups in what could have been an indication that Newton is in the lead in the competition. Head coach Bill Belichick refused to name a starter.

Footballguys view: The Patriots will keep everyone guessing for the time being. We always expected Newton to begin the season and then for Jones to take over at some point during the year. Jones has looked great and is in the perfect system for his skill set. Newton is trying to show he can bounce back after a poor performance as the Patriots starter in 2020. Stay tuned.

  Ravens | Todd Gurley not an option for Ravens    Mon Aug 30, 12:35 PM

Free-agent RB Todd Gurley (Falcons) is not an option for the Baltimore Ravens, who like their running back depth, as of Monday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: Gurley is going to have to keep waiting for an opportunity in 2021. Perhaps after Week 1, when veteran addition’s salaries are not fully guaranteed, will get a team more interested in Gurley. The Ravens have Gus Edwards as their top back. Behind Edwards, watch Justice Hill get some change-of-pace and receiving work out of the backfield. Ty’Son Williams is worth monitoring in dynasty formats as well.

  Lions | Tim Boyle out indefinitely    Mon Aug 30, 12:17 PM

Detroit Lions QB Tim Boyle (thumb) will be out indefinitely after surgery to repair a broken thumb Monday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: With Boyle out of action for some time, the Lions will turn to David Blough as the primary backup to Jared Goff. When Boyle returns, there’s a chance he wins that backup job.

  Colts | T.Y. Hilton update    Mon Aug 30, 11:21 AM

Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (neck) will miss multiple games after he aggravated a neck disk issue in practice. ‘He was experiencing some discomfort during the trip to Detroit (last week),’ head coach Frank Reich said. ‘Got scans done. It’s a disk issue. That’s a complicated issue. More meetings, more evaluations to come, more opinions to come. We want to do due diligence there.’

Footballguys view: Neck injuries are tricky to deal with and caution is needed moving forward. Hilton’s injury is not season ending but he’s going to be out quite some time. That leaves the Colts passing game without the seasoned veteran who was excited to get more deep shots this season. Zach Pascal and Michael Pittman will get more work as the top two receivers on the depth chart with Hilton out of action for multiple weeks.

  Lions | Breshad Perriman cut    Mon Aug 30, 08:07 AM

Detroit Lions WR Breshad Perriman was released Monday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: No surprise here…even with the wide receiver desperate Lions. Perriman was not impressing in camp or the preseason so the team decided to move on. Tyrell Williams, Quintez Cephus, and Amon-Ra St. Brown will be their top three wide receivers. Generally, this is a passing game most Fantasy GMs are staying away from outside of TE T.J. Hockenson.

  Giants | Kadarius Toney eyes Week 1    Sun Aug 29, 08:04 PM

New York Giants WR Kadarius Toney (undisclosed) is still expected to be ready for the Week 1 contest against the Denver Broncos.

Footballguys view: We’ll see if Toney can get out there during the week of practice before their contest against the Broncos. Toney has plenty of speed to his game and would bring a big-play element to the field for the Giants. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) also banged up, the Giants passing game could use all the help it can get.

  Giants | Evan Engram injures calf    Sun Aug 29, 07:10 PM

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) will not return to the preseason game against the New England Patriots Sunday, Aug. 29, after suffering a calf injury.

Footballguys view: No word on the severity yet, but this isn’t great news for Engram who always seems to be battling something. Engram is more of a TE2 for Fantasy GMs even though he has the ability to be a TE1. If he misses time, the Giants can easily turn to Kyle Rudolph and Kaden Smith at the position.
