Curtis Samuel Sidelined during Sunday's Practice

Sunday, July 27, 10:08 AM

According to Alex Brasky, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) won't participate in practice on Sunday. The Bills have decided to hold out both Samuel and linebacker Terrel Barnard due to hamstring injuries. This is tough news for Samuel who will be fighting for playing time in training camp. Currently, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer are listed as the top wideouts on the depth chart. Samuel figures to be the fourth wideout, but his opportunities might be limited. The Bills also have Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox at tight end who will get touches as well. It's still early in camp, so this hamstring injury shouldn't linger into the regular season. However, Samuel already has an uphill battle ahead of him, so this injury doesn't help. For now, Samuel should be considered day-to-day until more information is revealed.

Jalen Nailor In Line for WR3 Role in Minnesota

Friday, July 11, 2:31 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor "will be the team's No. 3 receiver," according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Lewis also notes that Nailor showed up to organized team activities in the "best shape of his life." Nailor played 17 games for Minnesota last season, recording 28 receptions for 414 yards and six touchdowns. His most productive stretch of the season might have been from Week 2-3, where he tallied a combined six catches for 85 yards and two scores. That's noteworthy because those are the two games that fellow Minnesota wideout Jordan Addison missed in 2024. Addison could be facing an early-season suspension due to a DUI citation he received last summer. If that happens, Nailor could be a sneaky end-of-roster add for fantasy managers.
