Lions center Cade Mays has a wrist injury that Dan Campbell described as costing him a 'significant' amount of time, though Campbell said it is not believed to be season-ending.

Mike Evans, WR for the San Francisco 49ers, is not practicing Monday due to a quad strain, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. No timetable has been given. Evans is the clear WR1 in San Francisco, so any extended absence would elevate Demarcus Robinson and Jacob Cowing into relevance.

Micah Parsons PUP list: Packers edge rusher to miss early 2026
The Green Bay Packers placed edge rusher Micah Parsons on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he recovers from a torn ACL and meniscus suffered in December 2025. Parsons set his own floor at the nine-month mark from surgery, which falls on Sept. 29, 2026, putting Week 4 as the absolute earliest he returns.

Kyle Shanahan admits fault in car crash that nearly cost him his eye
Kyle Shanahan says the July 14 car crash was his fault: he looked away from the road to find his phone that had fallen between the seats and crossed the center line. The 49ers head coach broke his nose, three ribs, and his hand, needed more than 40 stitches, and is still dealing with lingering concussion symptoms. Fantasy managers holding 49ers skill players should track his recovery, since Shanahan controls the play-calling and offensive structure in San Francisco.

The New York Jets opened 2026 training camp with WR Tim Patrick and edge Tyler Baron on the active/PUP list, and DT T'Vondre Sweat on the active/NFI list, per Adam Schefter.

Kyle Shanahan car accident limits him at 49ers camp
Kyle Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs, and his hand and needed more than 40 stitches in a mid-July car accident. He attended the first 49ers training camp practice but stood nearby while assistant head coach Chris Foerster ran the session. Play-calling stays with Klay Kubiak, so there is no immediate fantasy impact, but Shanahan's limited on-field time matters for scheme installation with San Francisco's new receivers.
