Jets running back Breece Hall has missed the last week of work with a groin injury, but the team isn’t showing much concern about his status for the season opener.

Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday, via multiple reporters, that Hall is on track to play against the Titans on September 13.

Glenn said that the team also expects tight end Kenyon Sadiq to play in the opener. The first-round pick has been sidelined after a procedure to address a hernia.

The story said video from Monday’s practice show Hall moving well on a side field as he goes through the rehab process. Hall was expected to miss 2-3 weeks but seems to be on track with that timeline which would have him ready to go Week 1 at Tennessee in an early window game.

RB Ty Chandler suffered a knee injury against the Rams that is feared to be serious, per source. Going through the process now, but expectation is that he will be down for a while.

Not good news for Chandler who was always a capable fantasy fill-in back with the Vikings before coming to the Saints. With Kamara now banged up, Chandler was possibly in the mix with Miller and Neal behind Etienne.

The Arizona Cardinals have activated linebacker Josh Sweat off the Physically Unable to Perform list and waived injured running back Trey Benson.

If Benson clears waivers he will revert to the teams IR list. The writing was on the wall for someone in the Arizona backfield after the team signed Allgeier and drafted Love this past spring. Benson could land somewhere else but he's still dealing with a knee injury that cost him his 2025 season.

After being cleared for all football activities, Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is set to truly enter Atlanta’s quarterback competition.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Monday that Penix and Tua Tagovailoa will split reps with the first-team offense on Monday.

Tua hasn't run away with this QB competition despite Penix not being able to fully compete, recovering from a torn ACL. Given the timeframe, it seems unlikely Penix wins the starting job at this point. However, if Tua continues to have his struggles, it's not out of the question we see Penix at some point this season. The story did say Penix could get time in the team's final preseason game against the Dolphins so it may be worth keeping an eye on that.

The next step in Malik Nabers’ rehab: shedding the red no-contact jersey.

Great news for Nabers as he continues his quest to be ready for Week 1 against the Cowboys. Raanan mentioned that Nabers had three reps in 11-on-11 and three in 7-on-7 drills. He made a really nice catch when he went down and plucked a pass off the turf.

Trade! The Patriots are sending WR Kayshon Boutte to the Texans for safety Jaylen Reed and a draft pick.

Related players: Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Tank Dell

The trade makes a lot of sense for both teams as Boutte was buried on the depth chart in New England when the Pats added Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown. With Higgins lost for the season for the Texans with a torn ACL, and Dell coming back from a serious knee injury, Boutte could step right in as a deep threat option. Last year, Boutte had 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns. He should at least be on your fantasy radar.

Josh Jacobs is taking team reps after returning from groin injury.

The even better news is Jacobs looks fresh, according to the rest of Wood's post. Wood went on to say Jacobs had a good burst in the middle on his inside zone runs. Jacobs is one of a few NFL players who could be subject to discipline by the league and could get suspended. But he seems to back from his groin injury.

Canales: If Chuba Hubbard is good to go, it will be RB by committee (with Jonathan Brooks) in Week 1.

Hubbard has been dealing with a hamstring injury and is looking to get healthy before the start of the season. It shouldn't be a surprise the team is going to use both backs, but it's possible one emerges as the leader. That's something we'll likely have to wait and see on. For our money, we have Brooks ranked higher on our RB list, but we all know about the major knee injuries over the past three seasons. It looks like Brooks is finally healthy and the team may ease him into a bigger workload early in the season. If he can survive that, Brooks should have more fantasy value for the long term.

Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon is making a full return of practice today. Just participated in 7 v 7s.

Related players: DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore, Darius Cooper

Other reports say Lemon was working with the starting offense in the drills, which is what the Eagles had in mind when drafting Lemon in the first round this past spring. Several WRs have stepped up in camp with Lemon out, including Wicks and Cooper. It remains to be seen of Lemon can make a late push and be ready to go as the team's WR2 behind Smith, but it's a good sign he's back practicing fully.

The Saints are signing two-time All-Pro K Daniel Carlson.

The former Raiders kicker brings experience to New Orleans, which had been holding a competition between Tanner Brown and Charlie Smyth, Garafolo added.
