  • Browns' Jakeem Grant carted with left leg injury
    NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Browns WR Jakeem Grant is "feared to have torn his Achilles" after he was carted off the practice field with a left leg injury.

    Advice: It happened in one-on-one drills and several of the beat writers on the scene were quick to offer prayers. More tests are coming to confirm, but Grant was visibly frustrated both on the ground and as he was carted off. We'll update as we know more, but this has the look of a serious injury for Grant. He reportedly could not put weight on the leg. From a fantasy perspective, this could open up a returner competition for the Browns as well as be a boon to the younger players on the wideout depth chart. NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 11:51 am

  • Beat: Chiefs could keep four running backs?
    ESPN's Adam Teicher writes "don't be surprised if the Chiefs keep four running backs as this is the deepest group they've had in years."

    Advice: Teicher lists that Edwards-Helaire is RB1, and that Ronald Jones has been the No. 2 for much of camp. Rookie Isiah Pacheco has gotten a lot of camp buzz over the last week and looks to be getting the first chance to be the primary returner for the team as well. That would leave Jerick McKinnon and Derrick Gore fighting for one spot if Teicher's prediction comes true.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 11:34 am

  • Beat: PIT 'looking to lighten' Harris' workload
    The Athletic's Mark Kaboly writes that the Steelers are "looking to lighten Najee Harris' workload in some capacity."

    Advice: To be more specific, RB Coach Eddie Faulkner has been cited as saying he wants Harris to have seven fewer snaps per game in 2022. This is some helium for backup runner Benny Snell, who had a rough 2021 season. Kaboly writes that "Being a short-yardage back might be an option" for Snell. Snell's fantasy stock can use all the help it could get, but beyond that, the signs have been glaring that Harris may not return to last season's workload in 2022.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 11:14 am

  • Browns won't say if Watson will play Friday v. JAX
    Browns coach Kevin Stefanski would not reveal if Deshaun Watson will play against the Jaguars in Friday's preseason opener.

    Advice: The Browns apparently have a plan for their quarterbacks, but have not chosen to reveal it publicly. It would make sense to let Jacoby Brissett get some snaps with the 1s no matter what the punishment for Watson's case winds up being, as it doesn't appear like Watson will play before Week 7 at the earliest. But we're all left guessing on what that actually means as far as preseason time.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 10:38 am

  • Falcons unofficial depth has Allgeier as 8th back
    On an unofficial depth chart released by the team Tuesday, Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier is listed eighth at the position.

    Advice: The beat all summer has been that Allgeier has a good shot to be the No. 2 back behind Cordarrelle Patterson, if not eventually become the starter. Coaches love to lie via depth chart. Please do not take this too seriously. But it is very funny to see Allgeier behind converted defensive back Avery Williams, among others. Atlanta's run offense had major problems last season, and it's hard to see Allgeier being empirically impressive or efficient, but volume should eventually come for him this year.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 10:10 am
