[TEN - QB Ryan Tannehill to COVID list](#2) 3. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley back in live drills](#3) 4. [BUF - QB Josh Allen will play Saturday](#4) 5. [DEN - WR Courtland Sutton on track to play Saturday](#5) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [NE - QB Cam Newton back at practice]( Source: ESPN.com - Field Yates New England Patriots QB Cam Newton is back at practice Thursday, Aug. 26, after his five-day absence due to COVID-19 protocols. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] There was a misunderstanding about the policy which led to Newton's five-day absence. Now, he's back and going to showcase his skill further as he tries to win the starting job. Rookie Mac Jones is the future of the team but the Patriots may go with Newton to begin the regular season. There has been significant talk though that Jones could win the job. Stay tuned. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [TEN - QB Ryan Tannehill to COVID list]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Tannehill was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Aug. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tannehill should be able to return after two negative tests 24 hours apart. We should see him back in action well before the start of the regular season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley back in live drills]() Source: ESPN.com - Jordan Raanan New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) on Thursday, Aug. 26, saw his first live drill action of the preseason as he took eight reps, including three receptions, in a joint practice with the New England Patriots. Barkley was wearing a red non-contact jersey but said he 'felt good' afterward. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the Giants here. Barkley is being eased back into action with the idea that he'll be able to play in Week 1 against the Broncos. However, if Barkley does play there's no guarantee that he'd get a full workload. The Giants might mix in other backs to give Barkley a breather instead of having him be a workhorse back early on.

[BUF - QB Josh Allen will play Saturday]() Source: The Athletic - Matthew Fairburn Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen will play in the final preseason game Saturday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Sean McDermott. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's an interesting choice as there are many teams who are not playing their starters in the preseason finale. Allen did not play in either of the two previous games for the Bills. They'll just give him a warmup before the start of the regular season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DEN - WR Courtland Sutton on track to play Saturday]( Source: NFL Network - James Palmer Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (knee) is expected to receive some playing time during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 28, according to sources. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This will be Sutton's preseason debut for the Broncos. He was supposed to have a breakout season in 2020 but spent most of last year on Injured Reserve with a knee injury. Now wearing a brace, Sutton is back running and cutting with his normal ease. We'll see if the vertical part of his game (playing above the rim so to speak) also returns early this season. He's a flex play with upside for Fantasy GMs in 2021.
