[PHI - DeVonta Smith upgraded](=) Source: Around The NFL Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (knee) is now considered day-to-day after sitting out the last two weeks of training camp and the preseason with a sprained MCL, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Saturday, Aug. 14. 'I don't want to put a timetable as far as if he'll be ready for (the team's Aug. 19 preseason game), I don't know yet,' Sirianni said. 'He's working hard and working hard to get back and our trainers and our strength staff (are) doing a great job of bringing him back, and so he's day to day. I look forward to seeing him out there in practice soon.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the speedy rookie here. His sprained MCL was given a 2-3 week timeline to properly heal. That means Smith is unlikely to see any action in the preseason but he should be good to go for the start of the regular season.

Walker will start the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, Aug. 15. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Panthers are sitting Sam Darnold in the preseason opener. Walker is a good backup-caliber quarterback with a strong arm and mobility.

[BUF - RB Matt Breida bottled up](=) Source: ESPN.com Buffalo Bills RB Matt Breida rushed 10 times for 27 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards in a 16-15 preseason win over the Detroit Lions Friday, Aug. 13. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Bills are looking to Breida as a reserve option behind Zack Moss and Devin Singletary. With Moss (hamstring) banged up, Breida will be asked to do more. The hamstring injury for Moss is considered minor and they're considering him day-to-day, so we'll have to see how much time he misses the rest of the preseason if any.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Singletary is once again competing with Zack Moss to establish a pecking order at the running back position. With Moss (hamstring) banged up, Singletary took advantage of his opportunity to be the main man. We'll see how much more time in the preseason Moss misses due to that injury (which is considered minor). [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [CHI - RB David Montgomery leaves early]( Source: Chicago Sun-Times - Patrick Finley Chicago Bears RB David Montgomery (undisclosed) limped off the field following his first (and only) carry of the first half of a preseason game Saturday, Aug. 14, against the Miami Dolphins.
