The Big Stuff

Quinshon Judkins will not play this week for the Browns but could reportedly make his debut next week if all goes well in practice.

Other Notes

  • Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez is OUT this week with a hamstring injury. This is a significant blow for the Patriots defense and raises the ceiling of Raiders passing options like Jakobi Meyers.

  • Texans WR Christian Kirk has a hamstring injury that will sideline him for Week 1 and potentially 1-2 weeks longer.

  • Free agent WR Gabe Davis signed with the Bills this week, returning to the team that drafted him.

  • Raiders WR Amari Cooper retired this week after making a brief return to his old team.

  • Jets guard Alijah Vera-Tucker is out for the season with an injury, a significant blow to their offensive line.

  • The Lions have agreed to a 3-year extension with WR Jameson Williams for $67 million guaranteed.

  • The Jaguars plan on using Travis Hunter as an every-down WR and part-time CB for Week 1. It has been reported that this will not necessarily hold week-to-week.

  • Steelers and DL Cam Heyward came to an agreement on a pay raise - a huge piece to secure to the Steelers defense in Week 1.
