Texans WR Jaylin Noel (finger) to miss "a few weeks"

Jul 29, 2026

Nick Caserio said wide receiver Jaylin Noel hurt his finger and should be back in a few weeks.

Related Players: Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Tank Dell

Fantasy Impact:

With positive news coming out about Dell making strides toward his long-term comeback, this could be about the worst time for Noel to be missing time. For the time being, Noel should probably be considered the fourth fantasy option out of this group, unless we hear of a setback for Dell.

Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez (foot) cleared for individual work

Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez (foot) has been cleared and will do individual work today but team will ramp him up so no team work initially. Same for CB Christian Braswell.

Related Players: Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen

Fantasy Impact:

The Chris Rodriguez hype has been dissipating as the summer has moved along, as his Liam Coen Kentucky connection seems to have been overshadowed by the fact that he has six professional receptions over three seasons. With LeQuint Allen handling most of the third-down snaps and Bhayshul Tuten offering explosives in all aspects of the game, Rodriguez has a very narrow path to become anything more than a low-end RB3.

Texans Beat: WR Tank Dell making strides

Aaron Wilson on X

yesterday · 6:20 PM EDT

Texans receiver Tank Dell continues to make major strides in comeback from major knee injury from December, 2024.

Fantasy Impact:

It was tough injury to watch if you happened to be tuned into the game that day. Wilson went on say in the post that Dell is regaining explosiveness, cutting ability and strength. Wilson then added that all involved are encouraged by his outlook heading into camp and Dell has had a productive summer. It's a great sign that Dell avoided the PUP list, so it looks like he could be ready to go in some capacity for Week 1.

Raiders say QB Kirk Cousins the starter

Pro Football Talk

yesterday · 4:47 PM EDT

The Raiders signed quarterback Kirk Cousins to be their starter, and that’s exactly how he’s set to enter training camp.

“When we go out to practice tomorrow, Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback,” head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters in his Tuesday press conference. “He’s the guy. And he’s going to get a ton of reps. And he deserves them, because he’s played really good football.

“But I want Fernando Mendoza and I want Aiden O’Connell to push him.”

Fantasy Impact:

It seems like a lot would have to change between now and Sept. 13 for Mendoza to be Las Vegas’ QB1 when the club plays Miami in Week 1, the story went on to say. We've seen this play out before, though, and depending on how the Raiders season goes, and how Cousins plays, one can probably assume we'll see Mendoza at some point this season as the Raiders QB1.
