Bills WR Khalil Shakir returns to practice

Wide receiver Malik Nabers was on the field with teammates from the beginning of practice and moving well as the New York Giants began practice for Sunday’s season-opening game against the Dallas Cowboys. Neither the Giants nor Nabers have committed to the 2024 first-round pick playing on Sunday. The signs, though, point toward that happening. Nabers practiced all summer with no real hiccups as he worked his way back from two surgeries to repair a torn ACL suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 season.

Everything continues pointing toward Nabers playing against Dallas. His WR22 ranking appropriately accounts for some workload uncertainty following the significant knee injury, but he can be treated as a lower-end WR2 if he avoids a setback. Fields, Mooney and Beckham would all carry considerably less Week 1 usability with Nabers active.

Broncos have their first unofficial depth chart out for Week 1 vs. Kansas City.

No big surprises, but Jonah Elliss listed as the starter opposite Nik Bonitto at OLB with Jonathon Cooper on the commissioner's exempt list.

Marvin Mims Jr. still listed as a starting WR.

The designation puts Mims back on the (very) deep-league watchlist but does not necessarily guarantee a full-time role. Denver has previously used him as a package player, and Week 1 routes will tell us considerably more than the depth-chart label. Bryant remains a stash, but his projected early role is less secure.

Jeff Hafley on Dolphins rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas being listed as Week 1 starters:

"We believe those guys deserve to start, and we're gonna start them."

Said there's no pitch count on Chris Bell

Removing the pitch-count concern gives Bell a legitimate opportunity to play a full complement of perimeter snaps immediately. His NFL debut, abbreviated preparation and Miami’s unsettled passing-game hierarchy still make him a bench stash rather than a Week 1 starter. The news further narrows Tolbert’s path to meaningful snaps.
