Colts WR Keenan Allen and DT DeForest Buckner will play in Saturday’s preseason finale against the Lions, per Colts HC Shane Steichen. Only a few plays, though, which makes sense given their importance to the team.

Allen’s appearance may provide some insight into where he lines up and how quickly Indianapolis intends to integrate him. With Pierce now off PUP and Downs’ calf issue described as minor, Allen remains a late-round depth option as opposed to a mid-round target.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell provided a few new injury updates prior to the team’s final training camp practice on Thursday, and unfortunately, it’s not all good news. Primarily, Campbell broke news that backup running back Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a new back injury, and his timeline for a return is unclear.

“I can’t give you anything definitive,” Campbell said. “He is feeling better as of yesterday, you know. It’s been a little touch-and-go right now. He’s had a little bit of a back (injury), and we’re hoping he’s coming out of this as of yesterday.”

The good news is that Campbell said they weren’t concerned about the knee injury that initially kept Pacheco out of practice for a little over two weeks.

The positive knee update is offset by a new injury with an uncertain timeline. Pacheco remains the favorite to complement Gibbs when healthy, but consecutive lower-body and back concerns make his Week 1 workload less secure. Hunt’s recent visit is also more relevant in light of this update. Pacheco should remain in place for now, with Vaki and Saylors offering only speculative (very) deep-league value.

Sources: The #Packers are signing former Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith to a 1-year deal.

One of the NFL’s most respected veterans, Smith has amassed 345 career catches and 30 TDs.

Smith’s history with LaFleur and ability to line up in multiple spots make him more interesting than a typical late-camp depth signing, but Kraft remains the clear lead tight end. Smith could take some secondary routes and work in two-tight end packages while Musgrave (neck) is unavailable.
