Jonathon Brooks is out for the 2025-26 season with a torn ACL. He played in three games this season, starting in one, with 22 total rushing yards and no touchdowns.

Brooks' absence might affect the Panthers' depth at running back. With him ranked third among the team's RBs, others must step up to cover his role in the next game.

Cam Akers joins the Saints, impacting their running back depth chart. He adds to a group that includes Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

The addition of Aaron Rodgers impacts the Steelers' quarterback depth chart. Mason Rudolph, previously the starter, may move to a backup role.

Last year, the Steelers finished with a subpar record, missing the playoffs. Rodgers' experience could improve their performance this season.

Donald Parham Jr., a tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will not play in the 2025-26 season due to a torn Achilles. The team has placed him on the injured reserve list, confirming his absence for the entire season.

Deshaun Watson's torn Achilles will sideline him for the start of the 2025-26 season. Recovery from this injury can take several months, and there is a chance Watson might miss the entire season.

Cole Fotheringham, tight end for the Denver Broncos, will not play in the 2025-2026 season. He has been placed on the injured reserve list due to an undisclosed injury.

Donald Parham Jr. is out for the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles. The Steelers confirmed he will likely be placed on the injured reserve list, ending any chance of a return this season.

Trent Taylor of the San Francisco 49ers is out for the entire 2025-26 season due to an undisclosed injury. He is placed on the injured reserve list and will not play against the Seattle Seahawks on September 7, 2025.

Taylor played in two games this season, recording 11 total receiving yards and one reception. The 49ers will need to adjust their strategies without him, as his presence, though limited, still contributed to the team's efforts on the field.
