[ARZ - Cardinals Finally Officially Sign WR Michael Crabtree]( Source: AZCardininals.com - Darren Urban The Cardsinals finally agreed to a one-year contract with veteran wideout [Michael Crabtree](. Darren Urban reports, "Crabtree, 31, had worked out for the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium two weeks ago, but the two sides did not come to an agreement. As the regular season approaches, talks ramped up. General Manager Steve Keim swapped out veterans, releasing [Kevin White]( earlier Wednesday before bringing Crabtree aboard." [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Finally. This makes a ton of sense and we love this signing. He'll provide a veteran presence and depth behind Larry Fitzgerald. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [LAC - RB Melvin Gordon not expected back for Week 1](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Los Angeles Chargers RB [Melvin Gordon]( is expected to continue his holdout through the start of the regular season since there has not been any progress made in contract talks, according to sources. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's time to plan on a long absence for Gordon if you haven't already - maybe as much as eight games or more. Austin Ekeler is going to be a solid RB2 for as long as Gordon is out and Justin Jackson a flex with RB2 upside. Gordon is looking riskier in the third round now and may fall further on draft boards. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [OAK - WR Antonio Brown traveling with team](=) Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Scott Bair Oakland Raiders WR [Antonio Brown]( is traveling with the team to Winnipeg for their preseason game Thursday, Aug. 22. QB [Derek Carr]( said he plans to work with Brown during pregame warmups. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brown is catching up after missing most of camp and the preseason. He's a risky pick, but if he's falling to the third the risk is better priced in than earlier in the offseason when he was as high as an early second round pick. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [PHI - Richard Rodgers to miss multiple weeks](=) Source: The Philadelphia Inquirer - Jeff McLane Philadelphia Eagles TE [Richard Rodgers]( (foot) will be sidelined for several weeks because of a foot injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Josh Perkins should be able to comfortably make the team as the third tight end now. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [BUF - RB LeSean McCoy, RB Frank Gore to see more time]() Source: BuffaloBills.com - Chris Brown Buffalo Bills RBs [LeSean McCoy]( and [Frank Gore]( will both see more playing time during the third preseason game Friday, Aug. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Devin Singletary has dominated first-team snaps so far, but that was mainly to give the veterans rest time. This still looks like a three-man committee, although that could change if a team has an injury at running back and comes calling for McCoy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [TB - WR Mike Evans out for preseason game]( Source: Buccaneers.com - Scott Smith Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Mike Evans]( (leg) won't play in the third preseason game Friday, Aug. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The injury doesn't sound serious, but we should monitor it closely in the week of practice leading up to the season opener against the 49ers, when Evans should see a lot of Richard Sherman. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [MIA - WR Jakeem Grant terms](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Updating previous reports, Miami Dolphins WR [Jakeem Grant]('s four-year deal is worth up to $24 million, according to a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Grant is a good return man with some deep threat speed and slot receiver quicks. This means the new regime really likes him and it could be a bad development for Albert Wilson, who is still not 100%. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [WAS - Two WRs may not play Thursday]() Source: NBC Sports Washington - JP Finlay Washington WR [Trey Quinn]( (thumb) will not play in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 22, while WR [Paul Richardson]( (quadriceps) probably will also miss the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Terry McLaurin is the one Washington receiver with no injuries and momentum going into the third preseason game, which is a bad sign for their offense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [DAL - Dallas hopes two DL will be ready for opener]( Source: The Dallas Morning News - Calvin Watkins Dallas Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) and DT Tyrone Crawford (hip) hopefully will be ready to play Week 1, according to head coach Jason Garrett. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lawrence said he has been playing with the shoulder when it was injured to downplay worries about Week 1. He should be ready to face the Giants. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [NYJ - Brandon Copeland suspended](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport New York Jets LB Brandon Copeland has been suspended by the NFL for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Copeland was on the roster bubble and this may cause it to pop. The Jets edge rush is still very deficient with or without him. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [DEN - ILB Todd Davis behind schedule](=) Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis Denver Broncos LB Todd Davis (calf) is a bit behind schedule in his recovery from a calf injury, according to head coach Vic Fangio. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Josey Jewell hasn't had a great camp so inside linebacker could be a problem for the Broncos early in the season against the Raiders, Bears, Packers, and Jaguars. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [PIT - CB Joe Haden still sidelined]( Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - Joe Rutter Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joe Haden (foot) is still considered day-to-day because of a foot injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Haden might draw Josh Gordon Week 1, so he'll need to be in top condition for that matchup. We'll be watching this leading up to the season opener showdown. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [NYJ - Two guards remained sidelined]( Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets OGs Brian Winters (shoulder) and Kelechi Osemele (pectoral) are not participating in practice Wednesday, Aug. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Jets get Ed Oliver in Week 1 and Sheldon Richardson/Larry Ogunjobi in Week 2, so these guards need to get healthy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [DEN - TE Noah Fant on track for Week 1]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Denver Broncos TE Noah Fant (ankle) will be available for Week 1 despite his ankle injury, according to head coach Vic Fangio. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fant was generating some momentum in training camp with better performances, but that is slowed for now. He's more of an upside TE2 to stash in deep or tight end premium leagues than a player to count on for early production. He could be dropped early in the season and come on later as a waiver wire pickup. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [BUF - Ty Nsekhe to be limited]() Source: The Athletic - Joe Buscaglia Buffalo Bills OT Ty Nsekhe (knee) will be limited during practice Wednesday, Aug. 21, and his status for the preseason game Friday, Aug. 23, is uncertain. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Bills continue to have injury woes on the line as they search for the best five to open the season against the Jets tough interior defensive line. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [SEA - RB Rashaad Penny falling behind]( Source: NBC Sports Northwest - Joe Fann Seattle Seahawks RB [Rashaad Penny]( has 13 yards on 12 carries in two preseason games, and he has fallen further behind RB [Chris Carson](, in the opinion of NBC Sports Northwest's Joe Fann. Head coach Pete Carroll backed Penny by saying: 'We've got to block for him better. He didn't have a chance.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Penny is just an injury handcuff at this point. He might not even be worth taking over the hot rookie running backs on draft boards who have more paths to value. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [NO - Chris Clark to IR](=) Source: The Times-Picayune - Herbie Teope New Orleans Saints OT Chris Clark (leg) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Aug. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Clark was competing for the swing tackle job which might be Marshall Newhouse's gig now with Michael Ola also banged up, although Andrus Peat has some tackle in his background and could move to the position if injuries force the Saints hand. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CLE - WR Braxton Miller signs with CLE](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Free-agent WR [Braxton Miller]( (Eagles) signed an undisclosed deal with the Cleveland Browns Wednesday, Aug. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Miller returns to Ohio and might get his foot in the door with his speed, versatility, and the temporary spot opened by Antonio Callaway's four-game suspension.
