Trainers were looking at Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins' left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Jeremy Rauch. Higgins got his leg tangled up during a play and was seen hobbling off the field. Higgins and the rest of Cincy's starters were already scheduled to be held out of the preseason finale on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old has a history of dealing with nagging injuries, so this isn't what fantasy managers want to see right before the start of the 2025 regular season. While it doesn't sound like Higgins' injury is serious, it's something to watch for heading into Week 1 of the regular season. Higgins only played in 12 games for the second straight year due to injuries in 2024, but he still managed 73 catches, 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in Cincy's high-octane offense. He's on the WR1/2 borderline in fantasy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving played the first three offensive drives during Saturday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Irving was one of the few offensive skill-position players to actually take the field on Saturday. The 22-year-old didn't have a ton of success as he rushed eight times for 12 yards on the ground. However, Irving made up for it with a 15-yard touchdown grab from Teddy Bridgewater. Irving is penciled in as the primary back in Tampa Bay with Rachaad White mixing in for carries as well.
