Giants downplay Malik Nabers injury scare after final practice drill

Jesse Minter said all of the Ravens’ young players have made “tremendous” strides in camp.

On injury front, Zay Flowers and Zion Young were held out for precautionary reasons. They’ll be ready Week 1.

Bilhal Kone might play Friday. He’s dealing with a minor injury, per Minter.

The lack of a disclosed diagnosis makes Flowers worth monitoring, but the team’s explicit Week 1 expectation keeps this firmly in the precautionary category.

Brian Gutekunst on RB depth if Josh Jacobs misses time with suspension: "I'm pretty confident we can sustain it. That doesn't mean we wouldn't do (claim a RB), but we'll deal with that when that comes. We've obviously been preparing for that."

Gutekunst’s comments do not mean a suspension is imminent, but they reinforce that fantasy managers cannot dismiss the possibility. Jacobs remains a back-end RB1, although his unresolved disciplinary status adds meaningful risk at his fourth-round price. Lloyd becomes an increasingly worthwhile late-round selection as the likely beneficiary of any missed games.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will not play Friday for the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason finale, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday.

No decision has been made on the team's Week 1 starter at the position, Stefanski also said.

This appears to be a medical-management decision, not evidence that Tua has won the regular-season job. Penix would offer the more attractive fantasy environment for Drake London, but Atlanta’s elite skill players remain largely quarterback-proof at their current prices.
