Cowboys Lose Davis to Hip Surgery

Dallas running back Malik Davis is scheduled for surgery Saturday and will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a hip injury in Friday's practice, a source told ESPN. The move thins a Cowboys backfield already navigating preseason attrition ahead of the opener.

Bears Lock Up Swift, Await Odunze

Chicago and running back D'Andre Swift reached agreement on a 3-year extension worth $33.75M, with $27.5M guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, wide receiver Rome Odunze said he expects to play Sunday at Carolina despite a calf issue that left him questionable on the final injury report.

Falcons Turn to Rush at Quarterback

Atlanta ruled starter Tua Tagovailoa out with an oblique injury, handing backup Cooper Rush the start in Sunday's opener against Pittsburgh. The Steelers, for their part, listed cornerback Joey Porter Jr. as questionable while the two sides continue negotiating a contract extension.

Eagles Debut Delayed for Greenard

Philadelphia ruled out edge rusher Jonathan Greenard for Week 1 because of a pec injury, postponing his Eagles debut. Greenard missed all of training camp but was a limited practice participant this week. Elsewhere in Philadelphia, Saquon Barkley is embracing a wide zone scheme that is largely new to him as he chases a repeat of his 2024 dominance.

Patriots Shelve A.J. Brown

New England is placing wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, sidelining him a minimum of four games, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It is a significant blow to a Patriots passing game already short on proven targets.

Ravens, Titans, Panthers Injury Updates

Baltimore ruled defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike out against Indianapolis, though coach Jesse Minter said he will be "ready to roll here soon." Tennessee will be without starting weakside linebacker Cedric Gray versus the Jets after a UTV accident landed him in the concussion protocol Monday. Carolina got better news: running back Jonathon Brooks will play against Chicago with no limitations as he returns from multiple knee injuries.

Bucs, 49ers, Seahawks Storylines

Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka is "full go" for Sunday against Cincinnati, while fellow wideout Jalen McMillan is doubtful. San Francisco rewarded coach Kyle Shanahan with a multiyear extension; he owns an 83-67 record across 10 seasons. Linebacker Fred Warner trolled the Rams on social media following the Niners' Melbourne victory. In Seattle, the question is whether Drew Lock can keep the offense afloat if Sam Darnold's hip injury lingers beyond Week.

Saints, Giants, and a Jonas Brothers Curse?

New Orleans named quarterback Tyler Shough a captain, and the 26-year-old is out to prove he can lead the Saints to the postseason in Year. The Giants' Cam Skattebo may be the next athlete to receive the Jonas Brothers blessing, following Cody Bellinger, Patrick Mahomes and Lewis Hamilton.
