NFL Training Camp Roundup: Monday, August 3

Bears safety Coby Bryant is expected to miss multiple regular-season games after suffering a hyperextended knee, a bone bruise and a small fracture during Monday's practice, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bryant was carted off the field but is not expected to require surgery. The fifth-year safety signed a three-year, $40 million contract with Chicago this offseason and had been projected to replace Kevin Byard in the starting lineup.

Bryant is coming off a solid season in which he logged a career-high 1,163 snaps and earned a 70.3 PFF overall grade. He excelled against the run with a 75.2 PFF run-defense grade while adding a 67.2 coverage grade. Bryant also showed a knack for creating turnovers, intercepting four passes and breaking up four more while allowing just 18 receptions for 232 yards on 29 targets in coverage.

The Giants appear ready to make Isaiah Likely a focal point of their offense, with SNY's Connor Hughes reporting the tight end is expected to be heavily featured this season. Likely has reportedly developed strong chemistry with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart throughout training camp and, according to Hughes, has emerged as the No. 2 option behind Malik Nabers. The 26-year-old is currently being drafted outside the top tier of fantasy tight ends, but his projected role could make him one of the better late-round values at the position.

Likely made the most of his opportunities in 2025, catching 27 of 34 targets for 370 yards and a touchdown while averaging 4.5 yards after the catch per reception. He has consistently been a difficult matchup throughout his career, averaging 5.6 yards after the catch per reception, hauling in 61% of his contested targets and forcing 34 missed tackles on 198 career targets.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley believes Ollie Gordon is capable of handling a full workload, saying the second-year running back will compete to become an "every-down back" rather than being limited to short-yardage situations.

Gordon's rookie production left plenty of room for improvement. He averaged just 2.8 yards per carry and ranked 58th in missed tackles forced per rush. His pass protection also remains a work in progress despite Hafley's praise, as Gordon earned a 23.6 PFF pass-blocking grade after allowing one sack, one quarterback hit and one hurry on 30 pass-blocking snaps. If he can take a step forward in those areas, Gordon has the physical profile to earn a much larger role in Miami's backfield.

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs denied that his continued absence from training camp is tied to his contract, saying, "Nah, it's not about that," when asked if he needed a new deal before returning to the field. Gibbs added that he doesn't know what the holdup is and said "only time will tell" when asked about his return.

Whenever Gibbs returns, he'll immediately reclaim his place atop PFF's fantasy running back rankings after another dominant season in 2025. He earned an 85.6 PFF overall grade after posting a 90.1 mark in 2024, rushing for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns on 243 carries while averaging 5.0 yards per attempt. Gibbs was just as dangerous as a receiver, hauling in 77 of 92 targets for 616 yards, giving him one of the league's most complete skill sets at the position.

Cam Skattebo appears to have established himself as the Giants' top running back early in training camp, with SNY's Connor Hughes reporting the second-year back has handled the first reps in nearly every running drill and the majority of the team's carries in practice. While Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary have reportedly been the preferred options in the passing game, Skattebo's role as the early-down and goal-line back could still make him a productive fantasy option if he maintains his grip on the starting job.

Skattebo was one of the bright spots for the Giants before an injury cut his rookie season short. He earned an 80.5 PFF overall grade, including an 81.0 rushing grade, after rushing 101 times for 410 yards and five touchdowns. Contact rarely slowed him down, with 307 of his rushing yards coming after contact as he averaged 3.04 yards after contact per carry and forced 22 missed tackles. While a reduced receiving workload could limit his fantasy ceiling in PPR formats, his physical running style gives him a strong foundation as New York's lead early-down back.
