The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyler Gordon (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list and linebacker T.J. Edwards (leg) on the Non-Football Injury list on Saturday, per Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune. It was announced in late May that the 26-year-old Gordon was battling a soft-tissue injury, but the exact nature of his injury is unknown. It's bad news after the former second-rounder in 2022 from the University of Washington played in only three games in 2025 due to multiple soft-tissue injuries. Without knowing the severity of his latest injury, Gordon's availability for the start of the 2026 regular season could be in question. The 29-year-old Edwards is recovering from a broken fibula that he suffered in the team's wild-card playoff win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but he was a full participant during mandatory minicamp in early June, making it likely that he'll be ready for the start of the regular season in the fall. The former undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin only played in 10 regular-season games last year, but he had four straight seasons of 100-plus combined tackles before that from 2021 to 2024 with the Bears and Philadelphia Eagles.

The New York Jets placed wide receiver Tim Patrick (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The good news for Patrick, who suffered a torn ACL and Achilles in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023 while with the Denver Broncos, is that his injury isn't considered serious, and he could be ready to play in the Jets' preseason opener on Aug. 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old veteran wideout will probably open the 2026 campaign as the Jets' WR4, at best, behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr., leaving him little room for fantasy value in all leagues. Patrick had 15 receptions on just 24 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (three starts) in a crowded Jacksonville Jaguars' receiving room last year. He had back-to-back 700-yard seasons with a combined 11 touchdowns in Denver in 2020 and 2021 before injuries struck, and Patrick is now a veteran depth option for the Jets heading into his seventh NFL campaign.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox still has a place on deep contending rosters, but there is not much mystery left in his dynasty value. He caught 36 passes for 417 yards and four touchdowns last season, his best receiving line since 2022, and Buffalo followed by extending his contract through 2028. The Bills use the position enough to keep Knox involved. Their tight ends combined for 1,210 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, and Knox played all 17 games. The problem is that Dalton Kincaid remains the better fantasy bet after posting 571 yards and five scores in only 12 games. Jackson Hawes also played 487 offensive snaps as a rookie and scored three times, giving Buffalo another reason to spread the work around. Knox can still catch a touchdown or step into a larger role when Kincaid is unavailable. That is useful insurance in tight end-premium leagues, especially for contenders already carrying Kincaid. Rebuilders do not need to wait on a 29-year-old secondary option, and Knox is unlikely to offer a comfortable weekly floor while the entire room is healthy.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond is going to play. The harder part is figuring out how often that matters for fantasy. Chicago brought him in on a one-year deal, and Ben Johnson knows exactly what Raymond can do after four years together in Detroit. Johnson said the veteran will be a "huge part" of the Bears' plans. Raymond still caught only 24 passes for 289 yards and one touchdown across 15 games last season. His biggest impact came on special teams, where he returned a punt 65 yards for a score. The Bears can manufacture touches for him, send him vertically, and use him in several spots. Steady targets are tougher to find. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III headline the receiver room, Colston Loveland is coming off a 713-yard season, and third-round rookie Zavion Thomas adds another speed element. Raymond also turns 32 in August. RotoBaller ranks him WR101, leaving him in the watch-list range for deeper leagues. He can help Chicago without becoming someone fantasy managers need to draft.
