NFL News and Notes for August 25th

DJ Moore: Took reps at RB today amid injuries in the Bears' running back room.
Jakobi Meyers: Requested a trade; several teams have interest if he becomes available. The Raiders have no immediate plans to deal him, as contract extension talks have stalled.
Joe Mixon: Put on NFI list, will miss at least 4 games. (Related reports confirm he's rehabbing a foot/ankle injury with no structural damage but requiring shots. Texans HC DeMeco Ryans declined to comment on his status.)
Jaylen Wright: Not expected to play Week 1. If Achane isn't a full go, Ollie Gordon will get his chance. (This aligns with Dolphins' RB room injury issues; Gordon has been getting starting nods in preseason and is positioned as the next man up.)
Matthew Stafford: Expected to play Week 1. Rams HC Sean McVay indicated all signs point to him starting barring setbacks.
Terry McLaurin: Signed a new deal and practiced today. The Commanders locked him in with a three-year, $96M extension.
Darren Waller: Will ramp up his practice participation this week. (No recent confirmations found; Waller retired in 2024, and any return or ramp-up wasn't detailed in current reports.)
Stefon Diggs: Will play Week 1. Patriots HC Mike Vrabel expects him to be ready and contribute immediately.
Jaydon Blue: Back on the practice field. The Cowboys rookie RB (ankle) was spotted participating today.

Rumor Mill

Tank Bigsby or Travis Etienne: Could be on the trade block. Buzz out of Jaguars camp suggests one of the veteran RBs may be involved in discussions as the team evaluates its backfield.
Quinshon Judkins: Has not signed, and could go back to college. The Browns' second-round RB remains under NFL investigation for a July domestic violence incident (no charges filed), hasn't inked his rookie deal, and may explore returning to school.
