Evans (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Tuesday's practice, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Evans suffered an apparent injury during 11-on-11 team drills. Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports that trainers are attending to Evans' lower body. The 2025 fifth-rounder suited up for all 17 regular-season games last year, handling a depth role in Carolina's tight end corps.

Musgrave (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Packers on Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The tight end is still dealing with an undisclosed injury that he suffered during OTAs in June. It remains unclear how serious the injury is, so it's possible that Musgrave will be able to return during training camp. He caught 24 passes for 252 yards and no touchdowns in 2025 during the regular season.

The Packers have placed Kraft (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Kraft's placement on the PUP list is no surprise, as the expectation has been that the tight end would begin camp on said list despite his own stated belief of being on track for Week 1. Once Kraft is cleared for on-field activities, Green Bay will be able to activate him at any point in training camp or the preseason. Kraft said in late July that he expects to be a full-go for Week 1, and he remains a candidate for a potential extension with Green Bay before the start of the regular season. Head coach Matt LaFleur said back in May that the hope is for Kraft to get back on the practice field during the early stages of training camp.

Tonges (foot) is participating in practice to begin training camp, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official site reports.

Tonges appears back to full health after having suffered a plantar fascia injury during San Francisco's playoff loss to the Seahawks back in January. With George Kittle (Achilles) having been placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, Tonges currently is positioned as the 49ers' top tight end. If Kittle's recovery lingers into the regular season, Tonges could kick off the 2026 campaign with a notable workload.

Barner (undisclosed) is participating in the start of Seattle's training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 reports.

Barner's availability to open camp is a positive early sign after he missed offseason workouts due to a pair of undisclosed surgeries. The 2024 fourth-rounder is looking to defend his role as the Seahawks' clear top tight end in a room that also includes second-year option Elijah Arroyo. Barner started all 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 52 catches (on 68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns.

The Lions placed Conklin (knee) on the active/PUP list Sunday.

Conklin signed a one-year contract with the team back in March, and it's currently unclear when he picked up his current injury. Once healthy, the 30-year-old is expected to compete with Brock Wright (neck) for backup snaps behind No. 1 TE Sam LaPorta.

Stephens (undisclosed) worked out for the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Stephens spent time with the Cowboys organization last year but didn't play in any games and was waived from injured reserve in mid-November. He's apparently now healthy and is looking for another chance with an NFL club.

The 49ers waived Dinkins (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dinkins' tenure in San Francisco has come to an end after he joined the team as an undrafted free agent back in April. The 24-year-old will now look to get back to full health and find a new opportunity with another team.

The 49ers signed McLachlan on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

McLachlan is headed to San Francisco after having been waived by the Chargers back in May. The 27-year-old last appeared in a game during the 2024 campaign with the Bengals and will likely face an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 49ers' final roster.

The Bengals placed Kattus (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday.

Kattus is currently dealing with an undisclosed injury and will be unable to return to practice until he's activated off the NFI list. The 22-year-old signed with the team as an undrafted free agent back in May and will look to compete for a depth spot once healthy.
