NFL preseason live updates: Top moments, highlights, scores
The final week of the NFL preseason featured hard-hitting plays and plenty of action-packed moments. Here are the highlights!AUGUST 25
Ainias Smith - Leads team in receptions SaturdaySmith caught six of nine targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings. He also returned one punt for 14 yards.
ImpactThe 2024 fifth-round pick led the Eagles in catches and targets Saturday as he made his final case for a home on the season-opening roster. Smith's narrow path to a significant role in the slot likely closed when Philadelphia traded for Jahan Dotson, but the Texas A&M product may have shown enough as both a receiver and a returner to claim the last spot on the wide receiver depth chart.

Parris Campbell - Gets start in preseason finaleCampbell caught both his targets for 34 yards and returned one kickoff for 18 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings.
ImpactThe former Colt and Giant has dealt with a groin strain for most of training camp, but he looked healthy Saturday as he got the start and caught both of Kenny Pickett's longest completions of the day for 19 and 15 yards. Campbell was signed in the offseason to compete for the No. 3 wideout role behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but the Eagles' trade for Jahan Dotson on Thursday likely bumps him one rung further down the depth chart. Campbell's ability to contribute on special teams -- he averaged 30.4 yards per kickoff return in college at Ohio State -- might be what saves his spot on the 53-man roster.

Tyrion Davis-Price - Gets long look SaturdayDavis-Price carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings.
ImpactThe former 49er handled six straight carries to begin the Eagles' opening drive but fumbled the sixth, marring what was otherwise a solid performance in the team's preseason finale. Davis-Price isn't guaranteed a spot on the season-opening roster with Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley all seemingly locked into jobs, but he could provide some injury insurance on the practice squad.

Tanner McKee - Fails to make case for No. 2 jobMcKee completed 13 of 21 passes for 115 yards and an interception in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings.
ImpactThe 2023 sixth-round pick took over from Kenny Pickett to begin the season half, but McKee failed to lead the Eagles to points on any of his five drives and turned the ball over twice, getting sacked and fumbling the ball on his first snap and then chucking a red-zone interception on his last one. This was the Stanford product's last chance to make his case for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Jalen Hurts, but McKee wouldn't seem to have done enough to overtake Pickett on the depth chart.
