[DAL - QB Dak Prescott to be on field Monday]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (lat) is expected to be a limited participant during practice Monday, Aug. 16, according to a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This backs up the latest news we heard about Prescott's recovery. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported over the weekend that Prescott's shoulder injury is "healing well." He should be ready to rock at the start of the regular season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [SF - Trey Lance's role undetermined]() Source: ESPN - Ed Werder San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance will begin seeing more first-team reps when it 'feels right,' according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. 'I haven't really defined that for myself either,' Shanahan said. 'When he seems ready, when I think the team seems ready.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lance is the future for the 49ers, and that future may be here before many expect. He's competing to prove that he can be a starter at some point in his rookie season. Lance has to beat out Jimmy Garoppolo for that honor, so who knows when the 49ers will make that call to go with the rookie first-round pick. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [NYJ - Elijah Moore to sit out this week]( Source: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets WR Elijah Moore (quadriceps) likely will not participate in practice this week, according to head coach Robert Saleh. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fantasy GMs got a couple of gut punches last week with rookie WRs Moore and Rashod Bateman (Ravens) getting banged up. Moore's quad injury will likely keep him out of the rest of the preseason. The team hopes he will be able to practice next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [NO - WR Michael Thomas ahead of schedule]( Source: The Times-Picayune - Luke Johnson New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his rehab from ankle surgery, according to head coach Sean Payton. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the Saints and Fantasy GMs here, but Thomas is still going to miss quite a bit of time in the 2021 season. Thomas should have had ankle surgery much sooner but was not returning the team's phone calls during the offseason. Saints head coach Sean Payton and Thomas had a meeting to clear the air and get over any problems they had, so things in that department should be better. He's ahead of schedule but will still miss the start of the regular season as he recovers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [GB - Jordan Love improving]( Source: Green Bay Press-Gazette - Ryan Wood Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (shoulder) is feeling much better but will not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 16, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the young quarterback here. Love is seen as the quarterback of the future for the team, and his time to take over is likely going to be 2022. We'll see if he can get healthy, stay healthy and prove to be the right choice for their future.

[ARI - RB James Conner activated](=) Source: AZCardinals.com Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aug. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Conner is going to get back out there to practice as he prepares for the regular season. He was added this offseason to compete with Chase Edmonds to be the lead back for the Cardinals. Expect the team to use some form of RBBC, and we'll see if the preseason gives us a better idea of how those touches between Conner and Edmonds will be split. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [GB - RB Aaron Jones back on field]() Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones is going to be eased back into action as the Packers go through the preseason. He missed time last week because of a hamstring injury which was considered minor at the time it occurred. We'll see how Jones works this year with second-year pro A.J. Dillon doing more. Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans said Green Bay will lean on Dillon "a lot more this year." That could mean Jones will lose some early-down work to the team's power back. Jones is currently going off the board at RB6 (1.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [NYJ - TE Ryan Griffin suffers injury]( Source: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets TE Ryan Griffin (hamstring) left practice early Monday, Aug. 16, and is being evaluated for a hamstring injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Griffin is competing as a reserve tight end for the Jets. Chris Herndon is atop the depth chart but could be pushed for playing time by Tyler Kroft. Griffin is there to block and catch a small handful of passes. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [BUF - Zack Moss takes part in practice](=) Source: NewYorkUpstate.com - Matt Parrino Buffalo Bills RB Zack Moss (hamstring) was on the field for practice Monday, Aug. 16, and participated in team drills. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Moss is a talented back but he's been a little banged up, and that keeps Devin Singletary in the mix perhaps more than he would be if Moss was out there full time. The hamstring injury was considered minor for Moss, and he's still in line to be the lead back in a RBBC with Singletary in Buffalo.
