WR Crabtree Officially Holding Out

Soft-tissue issue for J.K. Dobbins, per Sean Payton. Said he’s concerned with the number of muscle injuries in camp so far.

Warm-down at the end of practice was part of the response to soft-tissue injuries.

Related players: RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman

The team thinks Dobbins will be fine, according to reports, but Dobbins has certainly dealt with his share of injuries in his career, so this one is again worth monitoring. When Dobbins was injured last season, it was Harvey who took over the lead back role. This season, the Broncos added Coleman in the draft, so if Dobbins misses some practices, it's going to give extra chances to both Harvey and Coleman to step up. Harvey only rushed for 3.7 yards per attempt last year, and was considered much more effective as a pass-catcher. That could open up Coleman for a chance at more carries should Dobbins end up missing time. It's all worth monitoring as we head into draft season.

Darius Cooper is much, much closer to WR2 than he is WR4 at this point.

ESP went on to say at this point it feels like, especially with Smith out, Cooper is the player QB Jalen Hurts goes to when he needs a catch or doesn’t have anywhere else to go with the ball. Keep in mind, first round pick Lemon hasn't been taking part in practices. Wicks has been having a nice camp himself, but Cooper, who made the Eagles last season, looks to be ahead of him in the pecking order of WRs. It could be a situation to monitor, because with A.J. Brown no longer in town, the team's WR2 role may very well be up for grabs.

The 49ers are dealing with yet another injury concern.

Via multiple reporters, running back Christian McCaffrey is sitting out of Monday’s practice due to what the club termed “tightness.”

The specifics of the tightness or when McCaffrey might get back on the field have not yet been disclosed, according to the story. Any time one of the top RBs in fantasy drafts has to sit out, it's worth noting, but especially for CMC, who has dealt with his share of injuries. And, it drives home the fact you may want to target CMC's handcuff in drats. That appeared to be James, but he's dealing with a rib injury, while the rookie Black has also missed time in camp. Guerendo looks like the next guy up at this point, but it could be a fluid situation by the time your draft rolls around. It's worth keeping an eye on this RB depth chart if you are, or plan to be, a McCaffrey owner.
