Davis (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice and could be available for the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Davis missed most of training camp due to an ankle injury that he suffered in late July. His return to practice Thursday is a positive sign for the 2020 third-rounder, and his participation over the next week will indicate his chances of playing in Week 1. Davis split his time between defense and special teams over the last two seasons with the Jets, but he's projected to start at safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick in 2025. Ifeatu Melifonwu and Elijah Campbell would be the top candidates to slide into a starting role if Davis is unavailable for Week 1.

Parsons is being traded to Green Bay from Dallas and has agreed to terms with the Packers on a four-year, $188 million dollar contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Parsons gets a massive new extension and becomes the immediate leader of Green Bay's pass rush, in a deal done just over one week in advance of the Packers' regular-season opener against Detroit. The three-time All-Pro will provide an immediate boost to his new team, and the full details regarding Dallas' trade compensation will follow shortly.

The Cowboys are seven-point underdogs against the Eagles in Week 1, while the Packers are one and a half-point favorites against the Vikings at online sports betting sites.

The Dolphins signed Hasty to the practice squad Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Hasty was unable to crack the Patriots' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll remain in the AFC East with the Dolphins' practice squad. With Jaylen Wright (leg) expected to miss multiple weeks, Hasty and Jeff Wilson are candidates to be called up to the active roster for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7. Hasty appeared in 15 regular-season games for New England in 2024 and logged 20 carries for 69 yards while adding 10 catches (on 12 targets) for 59 yards and at touchdown.

As Week 1 approaches, Chad Graff of The Athletic notes that Hollins is a candidate to log early-season reps out wide opposite Stefon Diggs (knee).

While Diggs (assuming his health) and slot man DeMario Douglas profile as the team's top two wide receiver options, how things shake out beyond that duo remains to seen. Based on practices this summer, Graff guesses that Hollins could see the most snaps opposite Diggs early on this season. That said, Kayshon Boutte also is in the mix on that front, while third-rounder Kyle Williams projects as the upside play as the season progresses. In any case, clarity with regard to the exact Patriots' WR pecking order probably won't arrive until the team's Week 1 box score/snap counts are available to provide more concrete context.

Gage (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Gage re-signed with the 49ers on Thursday after being released Tuesday, but he isn't quite ready to practice, while still recovering from the MCL sprain he suffered last Thursday. He could get slot work Week 1 at Seattle if he's healthy enough to play, as the 49ers have a slew of other WRs dealing with injuries (or suspensions).

Watkins (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The rookie fourth-round pick caught three passes for 56 yards in his preseason debut but came out of the game with a high-ankle sprain. The 49ers are hurting for help at WR right now, but Watkins doesn't appear likely to be ready for Week 1 at Seattle.

The Panthers signed Smith to the practice squad, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Smith suited up for nine regular-season games with Philadelphia last year, after the team selected him in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He secured seven of nine targets for 41 yards and one score in that span, but after being waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, he'll now need to establish himself in a depth role for a new organization.

Gage (knee) is re-signing with the 49ers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gage was released Tuesday, likely with a verbal agreement in place to re-sign after cutdown day. He suffered an MCL sprain Aug. 21, but it isn't considered overly serious and may not keep him out for Week 1. Gage may have a meaningful role if the plays, given San Francisco's other injury and suspension issues at wide receiver. Only Ricky Pearsall appears locked in as a starter for the opener in Seattle.

Indianapolis signed Scott to the practice squad Thursday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

Scott, a 2023 fourth-round pick, had spent his entire NFL career to date in Chicago before being waived by the team Tuesday. He suited up for 28 regular-season games with the Bears over the last two years, over which span he totaled 18 catches for 173 yards. Scott is still looking to score his first-regular season touchdown and will work to establish himself as a reserve option for the Colts.

Smith has been out since Aug. 11 while managing a personal matter and will be evaluated by the Vikings on a weekly basis, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Smith remains on Minnesota's active roster but it appears that he could be unavailable Week 1 against the Bears while managing a personal matter. He reworked his contract back in March to remain with the Vikings for the 2025 campaign.
