Cotton (hamstring) was waived by the Broncos on Thursday after reaching an injury settlement with the team, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

The cornerback injured his hamstring during Wednesday's practice, per Tomasson, but the settlement at least gives him a chance to play in 2026. Cotton signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent in June.

Jennings (neck) is participating at the Packers' training camp, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reports.

Jennings sat out Week 18 and the postseason last year with a throat injury, but he now seems to be back to full strength for training camp. He projects for a depth role on the interior of Green Bay's offensive line in 2026.

Scott (undisclosed) made a free-agent visit to the Steelers on Thursday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

The cornerback missed the 2025 campaign with an undisclosed injury and was not tendered by the Chiefs once the season ended. Now healthy again, Scott will look to catch on with a new team and make his NFL debut. He was a sixth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2023.

San Francisco placed Farmer (back) on its injured reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Farmer was not picked up by another squad after the 49ers waived him with an injury designation earlier in the week, and now he'll be required to stay on the team's IR list for the year unless he negotiates an injury settlement. He last played regular-season snaps in 2023 with the Chargers.

San Francisco placed Bradley-King (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bradley-King wasn't claimed by another team after the 49ers waived him Wednesday, and now he'll have to spend the entire season on IR unless he negotiates an injury settlement with the club. His last regular-season snaps came in 2022 with Washington.

Ndubuisi (undisclosed) was waived from the active/PUP list with a failed physical designation by the Bucs on Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The defensive tackle began training camp on the active/PUP list. Ndubuisi appeared in one regular-season game for Houston last year, making one tackle.

Hansen (lower body) was carted off the field from practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The linebacker fell to the ground and then had trouble applying weight to his leg, per Wilson. Hansen played mostly on special teams last season and finished with 19 tackles (11 solo) across 15 regular-season games.

Sorsdal (undisclosed) is participating at the Lions' training camp, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.

Sorsdal was sidelined for all of the 2025 campaign after being placed on Detroit's injured reserve list with an unspecified injury, but he now appears to be healthy again with training camp starting up. He's competing for a depth role on the offensive line in 2026.

Sanders (ankle) is participating at the Broncos' training camp, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Sanders was unable to play at all last season after tearing a ligament in his foot in July 2025, but he's now available again with training camp underway. He played the majority of his snaps on special teams in his first two seasons.

Rakestraw (shoulder) is participating during training camp, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

The cornerback suffered a shoulder injury during a training camp practice last August and had to undergo season-ending surgery. Rakestraw played in eight regular-season games as a rookie two seasons ago, seeing more action on special teams than defense. A 2024 second-round pick, Rakestraw should be able to compete for playing time now that he's healthy again.
