Chicago signed Davis to a one-year contract on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Davis went undrafted out of Northwest Missouri State in 2022 and has spent time with the Broncos, Cardinals, Lions, and Browns in his NFL career, though all three of his regular-season appearances have come with Cleveland. The wide receiver and return specialist has also spent time in the UFL. Davis will compete for a role on special teams with the Bears.

The Eagles signed Ezukanma to a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Ezukanma, a 2022 fourth-round pick, spent the first three seasons of his career with the Dolphins before being cut by the team last August. He then spent part of the 2025 campaign on Jacksonville's practice squad. All five of his career regular-season appearances have come with Miami. Ezukanma will now compete for a reserve role with Philadelphia.

The Steelers signed Wentz to a contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wentz was initially signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent in May, but he was waived last week. The Kansas product now will get a look in Pittsburgh. He'll be a longshot to make the season-opening roster, but it's nonetheless a favorable situation for Wentz given the Steelers' lack of experienced wideouts behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman.

Green Bay signed Lachey to a contract Monday.

Lachey was drafted in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft by Houston and spent all of last season on the Texans' practice squad. The Packers plucked him off waivers in mid-May but subsequently waived him with a failed physical. Lachey appears to be past whatever was ailing him given his reunion with Green Bay. He'll compete for a depth role in the team's TE corps, though it wouldn't be surprising if he begins the campaign on the practice squad.

Lewis (foot) didn't participate in OTAs on Monday but instead worked on the side, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Lewis ended last season on IR due to a foot injury that required surgery. While he appears to be close to moving past the issue, the veteran cornerback isn't quite there yet. It's not clear whether or not it'll prevent Lewis from being ready for the beginning of training camp in late July.

Jordan is slated to meet with the Saints to discuss a new contract, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Jordan was an instrumental part of New Orleans' defense last season, as he logged a team-high 10.5 sacks along with two defensed passes, two forced fumbles and a recovered fumble. The sack mark was his highest since 2021, when he registered 12.5 sacks. At this point, it would feel odd to see Jordan in any other uniform, as he's spent all 15 of his pro seasons with the Saints. The 2011 first-round draft pick has been the epitome of durability during his career, playing in at least 16 games in every one of his pro campaigns, and he's New Orleans' franchise leader in sacks with 132.0. Arye Pulli of USA Today reports that there's mutual interest between Jordan and the Saints, but a deal is not imminent.

Harvey reportedly underwent an offseason procedure to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder that he sustained during Denver's season-ending AFC Championship Game loss to New England, according to Luca Evans of The Denver Post.

Evans also notes that while Harvey was practicing during the Broncos' OTAs, he didn't do much in the process. With that in mind, the running back's participation level in the team's upcoming mandatory minicamp, and then also in training camp, will be worth monitoring, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest his regular-season status will be impacted. Looking ahead to the coming campaign, Harvey is slated to maintain a key role in a Denver backfield committee that also is set to include J.K. Dobbins and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman.

Pickens was present for his physical Monday prior to the Cowboys' mandatory minicamp, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

There had been some speculation whether Pickens would show up for minicamp based on the Cowboys' unwillingness to negotiate a long-term deal with the star wideout. However, he signed his franchise tag back in April and would have been subject to fines if he didn't report for mandatory practices this week after he's skipped out on voluntary workouts this offseason. Pickens is headed into his age-25 season and coming off a career year in 2025 after he caught 93 passes for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns across 17 regular-season contests. The team likely wants to see Pickens do it again before committing to him long term. If he's able to have another big season, Pickens will be looking at $30 million-plus per year on a multi-year pact next offseason.

Pearce was present for his physical Monday prior to the Falcons' mandatory minicamp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The report notes that Pearce has entered a diversion program to resolve to his legal matter stemming from a Feb. 7 incident which included being charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy indicated to ESPN on Monday that Pearce's situation "remains under review of the (league's) personal conduct policy." As a rookie last year, Pearce -- who is on track to take the field during this week's minicamp -- recorded 26 tackles, including 10.5 sacks, in 17 regular-season games.

As the coming season approaches, Allen appears on track to maintain a role on passing downs, John Shipley of Sports Illustrated reports.

With Travis Etienne -- who recorded 260 carries and 36 catches in 17 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2025 -- now with the Saints, Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez (foot) and Allen are slated to lead the team's backfield in 2026. As a rookie seventh-rounder last year, Allen played in all 17 regular-season contests, while logging 23 carries for 94 yards and catching 10 of 11 targets for 54 yards. As the team looks to reallocate Etienne's touches, Allen is a candidate to see an uptick in work this season, notably in passing situations, while Tuten and Rodriguez pave the way on early downs. As a result, Allen could end up on the fantasy radar in deeper PPR formats.
