Hall of Fame Induction

The Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrined its newest class Saturday, headlined by Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald and Luke Kuechly. Ahead of his induction, a deep look at Fitzgerald's college career at Pitt explored how he redefined the wide receiver position and nearly won a Heisman. Kicker Adam Vinatieri used his speech to poke fun at Manning, Belichick, and Brady, drawing loud laughs. In an emotional moment, running back Roger Craig revealed during his taped acceptance that he has been diagnosed with vascular dementia.

Injury Updates

Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps in practice and will likely require surgery, sidelining him for a significant portion of the regular season. Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III left practice early after tangling with a teammate, appearing to suffer a lower-body injury. Ravens wideout Zay Flowers avoided a major scare, but a left quad contusion leaves him day-to-day. Kyle Shanahan, recovering from last month’s car crash, plans to coach the 49ers’ preseason opener as he nears full strength. Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, is testing his rehabbed knee in camp and says it feels great.

Contracts and Extensions

The Titans made guard Peter Skoronski the highest-paid at his position with a four-year, $100M extension. Buffalo locked in right guard O’Cyrus Torrence with a four-year, $78.4M deal that includes $46M guaranteed. The Saints added veteran linebacker Deion Jones on a one-year deal, his fourth NFC South team. In Dallas, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams — acquired last season — is eyeing a bigger impact and could be in line for an extension with the Cowboys.

Team Discipline and Personnel Moves

The Raiders held quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive end Maxx Crosby out of Saturday’s practice for disciplinary reasons stemming from their on-field fight Friday. Colts cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt will serve a one-game suspension without pay in the season opener for a conduct policy violation. Seahawks linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence, who nearly retired after finally winning a Super Bowl, is ready for the title defense. Bucs running back Bucky Irving sent a message to doubters ahead of his third season, saying he has been doubted his whole life. The Eagles will continue to lean into the tush push under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.

Quarterback Updates and Preseason

Russell Wilson’s Hall of Fame candidacy looks less certain after a rough end to his career, raising new questions about his case. In Minnesota, the Vikings’ quarterback battle between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy has Murray favored to lead the offense. For fans eager to see all the action, the NFL preseason schedule on NFL Network and ESPN is now set, with games underway.
