Kamara has been getting most of the third-downs snaps with the starters at training camp, according to Jeff Duncan of Nola.com.

With Travis Etienne signed to be the team's lead runner, Kamara is left with passing downs as his obvious path to playing time, though he could also sub in for carries on early downs if he proves he still has gas in the tank. Last year, Kamara made 11 appearances and finished with career lows for both rushing yards per game (42.8) and receiving yards per game (16.9). The second number was barely more than half of his previous career low (16.9), but early signs suggest that coach Kellen Moore still thinks Kamara can contribute as a pass catcher. The 31-year-old reached an agreement with the Saints in July to alter his contract, with the result being a one-year, $6 million deal that includes $3.5 million guaranteed.

Etienne has taken most of the early down reps at training camp, with Alvin Kamara is getting more of the third-down snaps, according to Jeff Duncan of Nola.com.

The workload split isn't surprising given Kamara's track record as a receiving weapon. We'll likely see a similar arrangement come Week 1, though it isn't yet clear if Kamara will also get some carries on early downs in relief of Etienne. The Saints signed Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract in March, while Kamara's recent renegotiation leaves him with what's essentially a one-year, $6 million contract ($3.5 million guaranteed), per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.

The Jaguars placed Colon on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.

Colon signed a one-year contract with the Jaguars in June, but he has opted to call it a career. He joined the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent and appeared in 63 regular-season games (19 starts) across six years between the Ravens, Cardinals and Lions.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Tuesday that Konga (undisclosed) will miss the entire 2026 season, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

The nature of Konga's injury has not been announced, but it's severe enough to sit out for all of 2026. Konga signed with the Dolphins in early May as an undrafted free agent.

Mitchell (undisclosed) reverted to the Colts' reserve/injured list Tuesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction log.

By reverting to the Colts' IR, Mitchell will be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Indianapolis. He appeared in 10 regular-season games between the Browns and Colts last year, and finished with 19 tackles (14 solo), four pass defenses and one forced fumble.

The Bengals waived Nwokobia (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Nwokobia signed with the Bengals in early May as an undrafted free agent out of SMU. Assuming he clears waivers, Nwokobia will have the opportunity to catch on with another team once he's fully recovered from his unspecified injury.

Clark left Tuesday's training camp practice due to an ankle injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Clark sustained the injury while breaking up a pass during team drills in Tuesday's practice. He had to be helped off the field by training staff, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Clark is competing for a depth spot in the Cowboys' secondary, so an extended absence would hurt his chances of making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Guyton was limited in Tuesday's training camp practice due to a sore elbow, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Guyton was held out of team drills as a result of his sore elbow, but there's no indication that the injury is a long-term concern. He entered training camp in a competition for the starting left tackle role, but Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News relays that Guyton won the job over 2024 seventh-rounder Nathan Thomas.

Jones has not missed a single snap with the first-team offense and has not taken any days off from practice in training camp, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Jones tore his Achilles tendon in December of last season, but that hasn't stopped him from being a pull participant in training camp practices despite recently being cleared to take part in team drills. The veteran quarterback was in the midst of a career year before sustaining the severe injury and finished the 2025 regular season having completed 68.0 percent of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions while turning 45 carries into 164 yards and five scores across 13 games. Jones is well on track to play in Week 1 against the Ravens on Sunday, Sept. 13.

The Panthers placed Ray on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Ray signed with the Patriots in May of 2022 as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama but didn't get his first taste of NFL regular-season action until the 2023 season with the Panthers. He appeared in 46 regular-season games (10 starts) across three seasons with Carolina and finished with 73 tackles (29 solo), including 1.0 sacks.
