New York Giants' Malik Nabers named one of NFL's top 25 under 25
Nabers, despite missing two games with a concussion last season, set an NFL rookie record for receptions by a wide receiver. He was targeted 170 times in 2024, second only to Cincinnati Bengals superstar and fellow LSU alum Ja'Marr Chase.
The Athletic recently ranked the top 25 NFL players under the age of 25, and the 22-year-old Nabers came in at No. 16.
One of the few bright spots for the Giants last season, Nabers had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Nabers' 109 receptions ranked fifth in the league and his 170 targets finished second behind Chase's 175. Chase was catching passes from bonafide star Joe Burrow. Nabers caught passes from four different quarterbacks last season.
This year, Nabers will have a much better stable of quarterbacks throwing him the football: 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson, former Heisman Trophy winner and 2015 NFL No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston, and the Giants' first-round pick this year, Jaxson Dart.
"When he is out there and when he has been, we've been lights out on everything that we've done. I think he's been special for us," said Wilson, who will start the season under center for Big Blue.

Saints announce Spencer Rattler will start preseason finale, a sign he has inside track on Week 1 job
The New Orleans Saints are one of the few NFL teams yet to announce their Week 1 starter at quarterback. But if the depth chart for Saturday's final preseason game is any indication, second-year pro Spencer Rattler could be the favorite. Rattler will start the team's third and final preseason game Saturday, Saints head coach Kellen Moore announced Thursday. Moore did not make any declarations on whether Rattler will start in Week 1, but he did tell reporters he planned to play as many starters as possible during the contest. Moore also outlined the order in which the quarterbacks will play, with Rattler being followed by rookie Tyler Shough. Jake Haener will serve as the third quarterback during the contest. That certainly seems to hint at Rattler having the inside track on the starting job. As long as he doesn't completely face plant Saturday, it seems likely he'll get the Week 1 starting nod. After selecting Rattler in the fifth-round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Saints pushed the former South Carolina quarterback into action during his rookie season. Rattler appeared in seven games — six starts — in relief of Derek Carr last season. In those games, Rattler completed 57 percent of his passes, with four touchdowns and five interceptions. The Saints weren't content to install Rattler as the full-time starter after the season, and selected Louisville quarterback Tyler Slough in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Both players have put up similar numbers thus far in the preseason. Through two games, Rattler has completed 71.4 percent of his passes, with one touchdown against one interception. Shough also has one touchdown and one interception, and has completed 70.6 percent of his passes. With both players posting similar stats, there's room for either Rattler or Shough to walk away with the Week 1 job. But given his experience — and the fact that's he's starting Saturday's game — Rattler should probably be considered the favorite to get the regular-season job for now.

Dolphins' Aaron Brewer takes shot at Bears for 'fake physicality'
When the Chicago Bears hosted the Miami Dolphins for a joint practice back on Aug. 8, it certainly appeared as if Chicago broke Miami after an absolutely dominant outing from the Bears (specifically the defense) that even prompted two Dolphins players to fight each other on the sidelines. Now, two weeks later, Dolphins offensive guard Aaron Brewer is still hung up on the frustrations of that joint practice with Chicago -- but he's not exactly owning it. Brewer told reporters Thursday that the Bears had "fake physicality" and were tackling like it was a real game during that practice. "They were out there playing tackle football and everybody else was play 7-on-7," Brewer said. "The fake physicality. You kinda seen that when we went out there and played in a real game." For what it's worth, the Dolphins might've played their starters briefly, but the Bears didn't play theirs, which is why it looked different on game day than joint practice, as it was Chicago's starting defense that really brought the intensity and physicality. Interestingly, Brewer discussed Miami's emphasis on physicality and the importance of dominating during practice, which didn't go their way against the Bears (although Chicago perfected it). Plus, head coaches Ben Johnson and Mike McDaniel met before the joint practice to discuss how they were approaching this practice, so it's unlikely the Bears would've approached this practice that way without prior discussion. The game itself was more underwhelming. While the Dolphins played their starters for a series, the Bears rested their starters -- and Miami still failed to come away with a touchdown, thanks to the heroics of linebacker Noah Sewell, who had a tackle for loss on fourth-and-goal. The Bears and Dolphins ended with a 24-24 tie that didn't exactly move the needle. But there was always an emphasis, at least for Chicago, on that joint practice and replicating a game-like environment. And it's pretty safe to say the Bears won that one.

Matthew Stafford says he's taking a ‘day-to-day approach' in return from injury
As Matthew Stafford got to the podium on Thursday, he joked that he was sure reporters wanted to ask him questions about the paper cut he suffered. The Rams star quarterback, speaking to the media for the first time since training camp, then fielded inquiries about the back injury that kept him sidelined until this week. Stafford, 37, practiced for the fourth day in a row, another small milestone for the 17th-year pro and a team aiming to make a Super Bowl run. 'The good thing is I feel pretty good,' he said. 'The last couple days out there practicing, I was able to do even more than I thought I was going to be able to do the first day, and then I've just been trying to stack days. 'Backs are sometimes interesting things. It's not cut and dry, what's what and how you're going to feel. So I'm really appreciative of our team, our head coach and everybody taking a day-to-day approach with me and doing everything they can to try and help me out. 'I have a feeling of responsibility to our team to do what's right by them and I'm trying to do that as best as I can day in and day out.' Stafford declined to discuss specifics of his injury, which coach Sean McVay has described as an aggravated disc. Stafford said there was not a particular offseason incident that caused the condition and said he has done 'everything under the sun' to be able to return to the field. Asked if he expected to be ready for the Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans, he said, 'I'm not going to answer questions like that. … It's probably a day-to-day thing. I'm just doing everything I can to try and be out there for the next practice.' Coach Sean McVay said Stafford looked good throughout the week. 'I've seen a guy that's gotten better,' McVay said. 'He looks like the stud that we know.' Stafford will not travel to Cleveland for the Rams' final preseason game on Saturday, McVay said.
