Henry (foot) did not practice Saturday and is wearing a walking boot, Terry McCormick of titansinsider.com reports.

Henry departed Friday's practice early due to an apparent foot issue and was called "day-to-day" by coach Mike Vrabel, with the exact nature of the injury unspecified. Henry likely will remain sidelined during Sunday's practice, the first padded session of Tennessee's training camp. The situation will be monitored closely in the coming days.

Williams sat out Saturday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

The severity of Williams' injury remains undisclosed, but his situation warrants close monitoring given the tricky nature of hamstring issues. As long as Williams remains sidelined, rookie sixth-round pick Dexter Williams should see increased opportunity to earn reps.

Sanders said Saturday that the Eagles are steadily increasing his activity in practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sanders missed the majority of Philadelphia's offseason program due to a hamstring injury, including OTAs and mandatory minicamp, so it's understandable that the Eagles are taking a cautious approach to his health. The rookie second-round pick says he feels 100 percent healthy, but it remains to be seen how the Eagles' crowded running back room -- which houses Sanders, Jordan Howard and Darren Sproles in addition to Corey Clement (knee), Josh Adams (shoulder), Wendell Smallwood, Boston Scott and Donnel Pumphrey -- will play out.

Williams (undisclosed) was on the sidelines during practice Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

More information regarding the severity of the injury figures to be available following the conclusion of Saturday's practice, which was the team's first day in shoulder pads.

Elliott has been officially placed on the reserve/did not report list by the Cowboys, Rob Phillips of DallasCowboys.com reports.

It's purely a procedural move, and the running back will rejoin the roster once he reports to camp, which he must do by Aug. 6 or lose an accrued season towards free agency. With two years remaining on his rookie deal, Elliott has little leverage in his holdout beyond the team's Super Bowl aspirations and the lack of depth behind him on the depth chart, but the two sides will continue discussing a contract extension for the two-time rushing champ -- although the Cowboys' priority remains signing Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper, both of whom are free agents after this season.

Drake said he isn't worried about the workload split with Kallen Ballage through the first two days of training camp, Adam Beasley of The Palm Beach Post reports. "I know who I am and what I can control. It's all about controlling the controllables," Drake said Friday. "There's only one ball. I try to go out there and put my team in the best position to win games. That's all I can do."

Ballage working ahead of Drake is the big story from the opening week of camp, though both players are getting regular work with the starting offense. The distinction between the first and second units appears less important for Miami than other teams, as the Dolphins have competition for a bunch of starting jobs, including Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Josh Rosen at quarterback. Entering the final season of his rookie contract, Drake acknowledged that his 2019 role can have an impact on future earnings, but it isn't his immediate concern. He also mentioned dropping five pounds in the offseason in an effort to improve his conditioning -- perhaps hinting that he expects to have a larger role.

Breida (pectoral) wasn't placed on the PUP list to start training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

This doesn't necessarily mean he'll have full clearance, but it does suggest Breida is ready for some level of participation. A slight pectoral tear held him out for part of OTAs and June minicamp, with the third-year pro joining Jerick McKinnon (knee) in the 49ers' rehab group. McKinnon will open camp on the PUP list after suffering a minor setback in his ACL rehab earlier this month. Breida and McKinnon are competing with Tevin Coleman for snaps in a crowded backfield.

Elliott's holdout became official Friday when he didn't show up for the Cowboys' morning physical and conditioning run, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Elliott never announced his decision, perhaps hoping to sign an extension at the last minute before the start of training camp. The Cowboys now have the option of fining their star running back, though it isn't the best idea if they intend to keep negotiations cordial. Elliott will lose an accrued year toward free agency if he doesn't report to the team by Aug. 6. He's under contract for two more seasons, while teammates Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper are only signed through 2019.

McKinnon (knee) will open training camp on the PUP list after suffering a setback in his rehab process, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. "Jerick has had a tremendous recovery," 49ers GM John Lynch said Friday. "About a week and a half ago had a little flare up in the knee."

Lynch downplayed the severity of the setback, noting that McKinnon isn't expected to stay on the PUP list for long, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 27-year-old running back was held out of practice at OTAs and minicamp, with the expectation of a return for the start of training camp this week. Fellow running back Matt Breida (pectoral) avoided the PUP list.

Coach Mike Vrabel considers Henry "day-to-day" after the running back left Friday's practice with an undisclosed issue, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

According to John Glennon of The Athletic, Henry stretched prior to the session but only managed one individual drill before his departure. Afterward, Vrabel added that he won't know the nature of the potential injury until he talks with the Titans' training staff. As a result, Henry's health may be clarified in the near future.
