Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Horton (shin) is expected to return to the practice field during training camp, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Macdonald said that "it's all positive" with Horton. He evidently isn't quite ready for football activities just yet, but it doesn't sound like Horton has suffered any true setback in his recovery. Until he's back to full strength, Jake Bobo is a candidate to see increased work as minicamp continues.

Epenesa (undisclosed) signed with the Eagles on Wednesday.

Epenesa reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Browns in late March, but Cleveland ultimately backed out of the deal following his physical. He now appears to have moved past whatever issue was uncovered, as he's been brought in by the Eagles. The 2020 second-round pick from Iowa appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Bills last year, recording 32 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and four passes defensed, with two interceptions. Now in Philadelphia, Epenesa will likely operate as one of the team's top reserve edge rushers during the 2026 season.

Mims was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday.

Despite signing Mims in late May, San Francisco has already decided to move on from the running back. The Fresno State product has spent time with the Saints and Titans across his three seasons in the NFL, logging 161 total snaps (101 on offense, 60 on special teams) across 14 contests. In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed running back Sincere McCormick to a one-year deal Wednesday.

Powers-Johnson (ankle) was spotted participating in minicamp Wednesday, Michael Clemens of the Raiders' official site reports.

Powers-Johnson finished the Raiders' 2025 campaign on IR due to an ankle issue, but his participation in Wednesday's practice suggests he's moved past the injury. Back at full health, the Oregon product is expected to start at right guard in 2026.

Jackson (foot) was spotted participating in minicamp Wednesday, Michael Clemons of the Raiders' official site reports.

Jackson was sidelined for Las Vegas' final 13 games last season due to a foot injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The third-year pro from Washington State has primarily contributed as a special teamer throughout his NFL career, recording six total tackles and one pass defensed across 10 contests while logging 148 total snaps (103 on special teams, 45 on defense).

Darrisaw (knee) "looks unbelievable" while participating in Minnesota's minicamp, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Tackle Brian O'Neill had high praise for Darrisaw when asked about his first full offseason back from a torn ACL, which is a promising sign for his recovery. Darrisaw had a scheduled down day Wednesday, but once fully healthy, he's expected to operate as Minnesota's starting left tackle.

Miller has been sidelined for minicamp due to a hamstring injury, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The 2026 second-round pick from Georgia appeared in 26 games during his final two collegiate seasons, posting 50 total tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. Once Miller returns to full health, he's expected to operate as one of New Orleans' top interior defensive linemen.

Clark (back) was spotted participating in minicamp on Tuesday, Megan Mendoza of AZcentral.com reports.

Clark finished Arizona's 2025 campaign on IR due to a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. He contributed on both defense (201 snaps) and special teams (168 snaps) last season, recording 25 total tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble across 14 appearances. Now fully healthy, Clark is expected to compete for a similar role as the offseason progresses.

Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Proctor tore his meniscus during OTAs and will miss significant time, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Proctor, a 2026 fourth-round pick from Southeastern Louisiana, was expected to compete for Arizona's top reserve defensive-tackle spot prior to tearing his meniscus in OTAs. During his three final collegiate seasons, Proctor appeared in 36 contests and posted 24 tackles for loss, including 15.0 sacks.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that Fidone underwent a clean-up procedure for his foot injury and is expected to return for training camp, John Fennelly of USA Today reports.

Fidone appeared in seven games for the Giants during his rookie campaign, failing to record an offensive statistic while playing 94 total snaps (80 on special teams, 14 on offense). Once fully healthy, the Nebraska product will likely compete for a depth spot in New York's tight end room.
