Vikings Beat: Team may use 'hot hand' approach at running back

Texans WR Jayden Higgins tore his ACL, per a source, ending his 2026 season.

Related Players: Nico Collins, Jaylin Noel, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Justin Watson, Dalton Schultz

Is Collins going to get a 40% target share?

Noel has been dealing with his own injuries through camp, while Dell is coming out of that gruesome 2024 injury that has kept him sidelined since. We'll have to see how things shake out, but the only players we can really trust for fantasy purposes right now is Collins (WR1) and Schultz (mid-tier TE2).

Alvin Kamara left practice with a knee injury.

Kamara walked off with a Dallas trainer, according to other reports. There hasn't been an update for Kamara to this point, but we'll be sure to follow up. Kamara and Etienne are expected form a 1-2 punch at the RB position this season, with Kamara's role likely being reduced.

WR Mike Evans pulled up three-quarters of the way through today's practice with what Kyle Shanahan said was "tightness."

As Barrows added to his post, it doesn't appear to be contract related, referring to Christian McCaffrey also dealing with tightness, and reports saying it was actually a hold-in situation. Barrows said Evans watched the rest of the practice from the sideline. Just like with CMC, there likely won't be much more information, but there will probably be some missed practices in Evans' future.
