Cardinals' Kei'Trel Clark: Back for minicamp
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 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.

Corey Rucker WR | LV
Raiders' Corey Rucker: Headed to IR
Rucker (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/injured list Wednesday.
Rucker was picked up by the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in late April, but it now appears he's sustained a serious injury that will sideline him for the entire 2026 season. The Arkansas State product was incredibly productive during his final two collegiate seasons, catching 144 passes for 2,085 yards and 11 touchdowns. In a corresponding move, Las Vegas signed wideout Brandon Johnson on Wednesday.

Johnson was dropped from the Steelers on June 9 but has already found a new home in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old wideout's last in-game action came with Pittsburgh in 2024, when he appeared in three contests and caught his lone target for nine yards on 19 offensive snaps.

Bills' Cole Bishop: Targeting training camp return
Bishop had "some stuff cleaned up in the knee" but is expected to return for training camp, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Bishop has not been participating in the Bills' minicamp due to this knee procedure and will continue to rehab in Buffalo until training camp begins. The third-year pro from Utah posted impressive numbers in 2025, tallying 85 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed, with three interceptions, while playing in all 17 regular-season contests. Once fully healthy, he's expected to remain Buffalo's top strong safety.

Cardinals' Garrett Williams: Returning for Week 1?
Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Williams (Achilles) could return for the Cardinals' regular-season opener, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Williams, who tore his Achilles in late December of 2025, is progressing better than expected and now has a chance to return for Arizona's Week 1 matchup against the Chargers on Sept. 13. The fourth-year pro from Syracuse was a crucial part of the Cardinals' secondary in 2025, recording 46 total tackles, five passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across just 10 contests.

Patrick Mahomes QB | KC
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Chiefs add two years to contract
Mahomes (ACL) and Kansas City agreed to terms Wednesday on a deal that amends two additional years to his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Mahomes' new deal keeps him under contract with the Chiefs through the 2033 season and carries a total value of $504.75 million, providing the 30-year-old quarterback an average salary of $64 million per season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Per Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star, Mahomes continued to participate in 7-on-7 drills at mandatory minicamp this week while rehabbing from a torn ACL and LCL suffered in Week 15 of last season, but he remained sidelined during 11-on-11 drills. It remains to be seen when Mahomes will be cleared to resume handling full-team reps, but by all accounts his offseason recovery continues to proceed on schedule.

Eagles' Jihaad Campbell: Returning for training camp?
Campbell (shoulder) has not practiced all spring but is expected to return for training camp, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
As defensive coordinator Vic Fangio stated in late May, the expectation is for Campbell to be ready for Eagles' training camp in July. Campbell, a 2025 first-round pick from Alabama, appeared in 17 regular-season games during his rookie campaign, recording 80 total tackles, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. With Nakobe Dean's departure in free agency, Campbell is expected to operate as one of Philadelphia's top inside linebackers once healthy.
