Here’s the latest on what’s happening around the league entering Week 1:<\/p>\n
Buccaneers, RT Luke Goedeke agree on extension<\/p>\n
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> and right tackle Luke Goedeke<\/a> came to terms on a four-year extenstion, worth $90 million ($50 million guaranteed). The Buccaneers selected Goedeke in the second-round of the 2022 NFL Draft and 2025 was the final year of his rookie contract. Now, he and the team are tied together through the 2029 season. In 2024, Goedeke ranked 30th among 140 tackles, per pro football focus, while allowing just three sacks on the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Two months after suffering an eye injury in a fireworks incident that caused him to miss all of training camp, Harris is set to make his debut for the Chargers<\/a> against the Chiefs<\/a> in Brazil on Friday<\/a>. The veteran running back was a full participant at practice on Sept. 2, increasing his chances of playing in Week 1. Harris, a former first-round pick, signed a one-year deal with LA in March after spending the first three years of his career with the Steelers<\/a> (2021-24).<\/p>\n Event OddsNFL – Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers – 09\/05\/2025<\/p>\n football\/nfl\/events\/10715<\/p>\n oddsSixPack<\/p>\n Russell Wilson<\/a> will be under center to begin the season for the Giants<\/a>, but rookie Jaxson Dart<\/a> is now listed as New York’s No. 2 quarterback ahead of Jameis Winston<\/a>, who signed a two-year deal with the franchise in March. The Giants traded up to select Dart with the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft<\/a> out of Ole Miss<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite Parsons and the Cowboys<\/a> having a messy and public breakup \u2014 one that has persisted beyond the trade that sent the edge rusher to the Packers<\/a> \u2014 Parsons’ agent, David Mulegheta, does not see it impacting any future negotiations between Dallas and his other client, Pickens.\u00a0<\/p>\n “There’s nothing personal here,” Mulugheta said<\/a>. “If George Pickens<\/a> does what we expect him to do, which is be one of the best [WRs] in the NFL this year, we’ll have those conversations with the Cowboys.”<\/p>\n Pickens played for the Steelers for the past three seasons before the Cowboys acquired him this offseason. Pickens is now Dallas’ No. 2 WR behind CeeDee Lamb<\/a>. In 2023, Pickens led the AFC in yards per reception at 18.1 while logging 1,140 receiving yards, and he followed that up with 900 yards in 12 starts and 14 games in 2024.<\/p>\n Stafford has been dealing with an aggravated disk that caused him back soreness, and it has kept him from participating in preseason activities or training camp for most of the summer. Still, the veteran signal-caller is expected to start for the Rams<\/a> in Week 1 against the Texans<\/a>, per head coach Sean McVay. Stafford, 37, has been the Rams’ QB since 2021, starting 16 games for the team in 2024 while throwing for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns against eight interceptions. It’s unclear at this point how much of an impact the back injury will have on Stafford’s Week 1 performance or season, but he has repeatedly been unable to match the timeline suggested by the Rams for his recovery during the preseason, including missing a mid-August practice<\/a> when he had been slated to participate.<\/p>\n Newly minted Packers<\/a> DE Micah Parsons<\/a> practicing through back sprain<\/p>\n Before Parsons was traded to the Packers last week, he was dealing with a sprain in his back that the Cowboys had just prescribed him a treatment plan for. Parsons is suffering from an L4\/L5 facet joint sprain in his back, per ESPN<\/a>, and could take an epidural injection for it before Week 1’s game vs. the Lions<\/a> to allow him to play through the injury. Parsons, who was in a physical therapy program to help with the sprain, was prescribed a five-day prescription for a corticosteroid to help with the inflation before the trade that sent him to Green Bay, and has been practicing since while letting the prednisone do its work. It’s unclear, per ESPN’s source, if Parsons will play in Week 1, though he is attempting to do more than just rest and recover this week if it’s possible.<\/p>\n Ailing Dolphins<\/a> getting back on track<\/p>\n The Dolphins<\/a> have been dealing with a number of injuries heading into Week 1 of the season, but things are looking up on that front. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters<\/a> that running back De’Von Achane<\/a>, wide receiver Tyreek Hill<\/a> and tight end Darren Waller<\/a> were trending toward playing in Week 1. Achane started 16 games for the Dolphins in 2024, picking up 907 yards on the ground and another 582 in the air while totaling 12 touchdowns. Achane is questionable, while Jaylen Wright<\/a>, who’s recovering from leg surgery, is doubtful for Week 1. Alexander Mattison<\/a> is on IR with a season-ending neck injury, leaving third-stringer Ollie Gordon II<\/a> as the only one with a clean bill of health.<\/p>\n The Steelers and Warren have agreed to a two-year extension that brings the value of his deal up to three years and $17.25 million. Warren receives a $5.95 million signing bonus, and his salary for 2025 will be bumped to $7 million, with $5.05 million and $5.15 million payouts in the following two campaigns, per ESPN<\/a>. Of the $17.25 million, $12 million is guaranteed. Warren is the top back on the Steelers’ depth chart for 2025, but he has never started a game. He has seen considerable use, though, as he has appeared in 16, 17 and 15 contests in three seasons with Pittsburgh. He has amassed 1,674 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 346 attempts, as well as another 894 receiving yards.<\/p>\n
