Kenneth Gainwell (RB - PHI)

‘I See Them As The Same Guy’: Todd Haley Explains Why Steelers’ RB Duo ‘Worries Me Just A Little Bit’. Kenneth Gainwell was a pleasant surprise for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. They signed him to a one-year deal, and he was excellent, winning the team MVP award. He left the Steelers this offseason, and they didn’t do a bad of a job replacing him, signing Rico Dowdle. He and Jaylen Warren will be the […]

Chris Olave (WR - NO)

Early exit for Chris Olave on Tuesday.
Saints WR Chris Olave left practice early, walking off under own power with trainers after a hard landing on a deep ball. No word yet on whether it’s anything concerning. (Mike Triplett on Twitter)
FF Today's Take: This is probably nothing overly concerning, but Olave's concussion history is significant enough that managers should take note any time he leaves the field. With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) out for a least a month, the Saints likely finished practice with Devaughn Vele and Bryce Lance as the top two receivers on the first-team offense. As long as Olave is fine, he can continue to be drafted as a low-end WR1.Source:

Mike Evans (WR - TB)

8/25/26 5:30 PM -
Mike Evans nursing a groin injury.
The Niners were without a whopping 23 players in today's final full practice of training camp. The new additions to the list, including a few names of guys who have missed time before today: WR Mike Evans (groin), WR Jacob Cowing (groin), G Dominick Puni (concussion), CB Upton Stout (hip flexor). Kyle Shanahan said Puni had some residual carry-over from his concussion symptoms after returning to practice on Sunday. Puni will likely have to go back into the protocol. Shanahan indicated Evans, Cowing and Stout should be back to practice next week before leaving for Australia.

FF Today's Take: Insert your favorite substation crack/joke here. While it would be nice to see Evans practice more often as he attempts to integrate himself into Shanahan's offense, there isn't much else to be gained by him trying to push it at this point. Evans is a good bet to miss a few games in 2026, but the receiver corps is already so thin on proven playmakers that he may push for a 25% target share when he is on the field. He needs to be treated like a WR2 due to his injury risk, but he has massive WR1 upside. Source:

Rico Dowdle (RB - DAL)

8/25/26 5:11 PM -
McCarthy Shares Vision For Steelers’ Third Running Back Spot. Whoever becomes the Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-string running back won’t have an immediate offensive role behind Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren. One injury, however, can change those circumstances in a hurry, and Mike McCarthy knows it. It’s why he wants a player capable of doing everything to fill that spot. “I’m not a fan of a […]
