    Texans EDGE Will Anderson (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday’s practice.
    Anderson missed practice with an ankle injury he has played through in Weeks 17 and 18. DT Maliek Collins (hip), EDGE Jonathan Greenard (ankle), EDGE Jerry Hughes (ankle), and DT Sheldon Rankins (shoulder) also did not practice on Tuesday. The Texans have had a banged-up defensive front for a couple weeks now, with Greenard being the only player that missed Week 18. Expect most of them to return to practice later in the week, with a good chance to play against the Browns on Saturday.

    Chargers will be designated as the home team in Week 1’s game in São Paulo, Brazil.
    Justin Herbert and the Bolts will face a yet-to-be-named opponent in Brazil on September 5. This will mark the second straight season in which the NFL has hosted a game in Brazil; the Eagles beat the Packers in Brazil last September on a muddy field. Herbert and the Chargers will look to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2024 season, a Wild Card meltdown against the Texans. The league will host seven international games during the 2025 season.
  • MIA Safety #8
    Dolphins are not expected to place the franchise tag on S Jevon Holland.
    Holland is on track to hit free agency as one of the top safeties on the market without a franchise tag. The Dolphins have seemingly declined to use the $19.6 million tag, a number that would have put Holland between Antoine Winfield Jr. and Derwin James among the highest paid safeties in the league. Instead, the Dolphins will have a chance to negotiate a long-term deal with Holland as he also tests free agent waters. Expect the 24-year-old to get a contract near the top of the market.
  • LAR Coaching Staff
    Rams promoted offensive assistant and passing game specialist Nate Scheelhaase to passing game coordinator.
    After receiving much interest for an offensive coordinator job this coaching cycle, Scheelhaase stayed with the Rams. In turn, the team promoted him to passing game coordinator. The 34-year-old has gained pedigree through working with Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense and now gets a higher title. Expect Scheelhaase to remain an up-and-comer in coaching cycles for future seasons.
  • TB Wide Receiver #14
    Buccaneers and WR Chris Godwin agreed to push back his contract void date to the day before the start of the new league year.
    Godwin’s contract was set to void, which would have triggered $18 million in dead money against the Buccaneers’ salary cap. By delaying the contract void date, the Bucs and Godwin have time to hammer out a potential new contract and the team can save more money. Since being drafted by the Bucs in 2017, Godwin has been a productive starter opposite Mike Evans and is set to hit free agency for a payday. He is coming off a broken ankle and with the Bucs not franchise-tagging him, Godwin has a chance to either re-up with the team or test the free agent waters.
  • LV Wide Receiver #86
    Raiders signed WR Kyle Philips, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles.
    Philips was originally a fifth-round pick of the Titans, spending two seasons with them before joining the Eagles’ practice squad for 2024. He did not see any in-game action during the season, but comes away with a Super Bowl ring. Now, the Raiders add Philips as depth heading into the new league year.
  • MIN Cornerback #7
    Vikings agreed with CB Byron Murphy to push back his contract void date to the day before the start of the new league year.
    Murphy’s contract was set to void this week, but by pushing back Murphy’s void date, he cannot be franchise-tagged. Now, the Vikings have more time to work on a new contract with him before he hits free agency next month. QB Sam Darnold’s contract is still set to be voided, meaning he can be franchise-tagged while Murphy cannot.
  • PHI Coaching Staff
    Josina Anderson reports the Saints are working to finalize a deal with Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
    Nick Underhill named Nussmeier the favorite for the job earlier in the day. It seems like but a matter of time before Kellen Moore lands his quarterbacks coach in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia as New Orleans’ offensive coordinator. Moore has already asserted in his introductory presser that he’ll call the plays, so Nussmeier will be involved in the process but not make the actual decisions on a down-to-down basis.
  • CAR Quarterback #14
    Panthers re-signed QB Andy Dalton to a two-year, $8 million contract with $6 million in guarantees.
    Dalton briefly started for the Panthers in 2024, finishing with a 989/7/6 passing line in five starts before a car accident left him out long enough for Bryce Young to take the reins again. Young shockingly re-established himself as a starting option going forward down the stretch, leaving Dalton to the backup duties. Over his last five seasons as a backup, Dalton has thrown for 7,906 yards, 49 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions in 35 starts. He’ll turn 38 in October. He is probably a mid-level backup quarterback at this point in his career, but Dalton is now at an age where a potential regression is firmly in play each season. This is a fine contract for that level of player.
  • SEA Coaching Staff
    Seahawks hired Saints senior offensive assistant Rick Dennison as their run game coordinator.
    Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak is getting the gang back together, as Dennison worked with his father in Houston before joining Klint’s staff in New Orleans last offseason. Dennison will try to help the Seahawks offensive line gel better than they had in 2024 as the new staff has vowed to try to establish the run.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes Aaron Rodgers would “be thrilled with the idea of going to Los Angeles” if the Rams and Matthew Stafford can’t come to an agreement.
    “And the Rams could probably get him for a lower cost than it would be for Matthew Stafford,” Schefter added, noting that the Rams would then be able to trade Stafford for draft picks. Notably missing from this report is any idea of why the Rams would want to go through the Aaron Rodgers experience, but let’s leave that aside. The Rams and Stafford look to be in a contract standoff and this is the first major leaked idea from the scoops crew on what the Rams would do if they couldn’t come to terms with Stafford. It sure seems like keeping Stafford remains Los Angeles’ first choice. If Rodgers is the best alternative, they should probably just bump up their offer.
