| Steven Jackson back doing light work in practice |
|
After it seemed like Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson would be out for all of training camp, he was seen doing light work on Monday. Jackson participated in agility drills during practice. While the Falcons will likely play it safe with Jackson, the probability of him being ready for week 1 seems much higher than it did a week ago. Jackson owners should target rookie Devonta Freeman towards the end of drafts.

| Bengals receiver Marvin Jones has a broken foot |
|
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones has a broken foot. He had a pin put in his fifth metatarsal on his left foot. This injury will keep him out through the beginning of the season, likely into week two or three. With Jones gone, Mohammed Sanu is likely to get looks opposite AJ Green. He is worth a late flyer late in drafts, possessing both talent and athleticism.

| The Houston Texans cut Andre Brown |
|
The Houston Texans have released running back Andre Brown. The move makes room behind Arian Foster. Jonathan Grimes is the current leader to be second on the depth chart at running back. Rookie Alfred Blue and veteran Ronnie Brown are also in the mix. The back up in Houston will likely have value at some point this season, given Foster’s inability to stay healthy. We will update any changes to the depth chart.

Amidst his second stint with The Blues, striker Drogba picked up an ankle injury after just 30 minutes of play in Chelsea’s pre-season friendly match with Ferencvaros. Contesting a header caused Drogba to land awkwardly enough to twist his ankle. He received treatment on the ankle and made an attempt to return, but ultimately was forced from the match.
