Breece Hall: Went down with a non-contract injury last week. Diagnosed as a groin strain that would keep him out “2-3 weeks”. He’ll be held out of the rest of the preseason and, based on that timeline, he should be ready for Week 1. Coach Glenn expects “him to be ready for the regular season…
The 49ers’ injury curse apparently made the trip to Australia. Rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling was ruled out against the Rams after suffering a left ankle injury. Stribling initially left in the first quarter, returned briefly, then went down again in the second quarter and was carted off the field. The timing couldn’t be much…
A.J. Brown’s Patriots debut didn’t last long. The veteran receiver suffered a high-ankle sprain in Wednesday’s loss to Seattle and has now been placed on injured reserve, meaning he’ll miss at least four games. The earliest Brown can return is Week 6. For fantasy managers, Brown is obviously a hold. The bigger question is who…
Week 1 hasn’t kicked off, and fantasy managers already have injury headaches. Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson missed practice, making his status worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday’s opener.

Cyrus Allen and Malachi Fields are early risers because each has a path toward a larger role than initially expected. Allen could earn opportunities in Kansas City’s receiving rotation, while Fields may benefit from uncertainty surrounding Malik Nabers. Michael Penix Jr.’s stock remains volatile as Atlanta evaluates its starting quarterback options, and Buffalo’s secondary receivers…
Fantasy managers should closely monitor returning players as teams report for training camp. Giants receiver Malik Nabers is among the prominent names facing uncertainty entering the summer, potentially opening additional opportunities for rookie Malachi Fields. Michael Penix Jr.’s recovery also remains important as he competes for Atlanta’s starting quarterback job. Training-camp participation and contact clearance…

Atlanta’s battle between Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa carries major implications for Drake London and the Falcons’ offense, while Buffalo’s third-receiver competition could determine whether Keon Coleman, Skyler Bell or Joshua Palmer…
