Bosa (knee) did not participate during the 49ers' training camp practice Monday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bosa has now missed four straight training camp practices due to soreness. San Francisco will likely take a cautious approach in bringing the five-time Pro Bowler back up to full speed, given the team's financial investment in him and the fact that it already has a number of injuries to other players in the front seven.

Bates (back) continued to work with the training staff Monday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bates suffered a minor back issue at some point in training camp and has been practicing in a limited capacity. The safety has been gradually working his way up to full participation and should be back soon. As Bates continues his recovery, other defensive backs such as Jammie Robinson have seen more snaps with the first-team defense.

The Chargers waived Morrow on Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

In a corresponding transaction, the Chargers signed outside linebacker Andre Carter. Morrow, who went undrafted after his final season at Upper Iowa University last year, will become a free agency unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

Johnson (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Johnson left Saturday's practice early with a knee injury. The change-of-pace back still does not have a set return date, and it's currently unclear how severe the knee issue is. Johnson was spotted on the field at the beginning of Monday's session but then retreated back into the locker room. If Johnson was testing the limits of the injury Monday, it could signify he's not far from returning.

Adkins (undisclosed) participated during the Broncos' training camp practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Adkins left practice with a trainer Friday after presumably suffering some type of injury, but it looks like it wasn't anything too serious. He'll continue to compete with the likes of rookie fifth-rounder Justin Joly and Lucas Krull for a depth role at tight end during the upcoming campaign.

Covey (hamstring) was a limited participant in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Covey has been absent with a hamstring issue since last Wednesday, so a return to limited participation is a good sign for the punt returner's recovery. Any extended absence on Covey's part could open the door for Will Shipley or Tank Bigsby to make a case for the role of primary punt returner.

Harvey expects to provide a lot of big plays in Year 2 with the Broncos, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

Harvey notched three rushes of over 20 yards in his rookie campaign, two of which were 40-plus yard gains, but he expects more frequent such plays in his second year. The running back believes that big plays are his calling card as an athlete, saying that he feels like that's "his game." Harvey compiled 540 yards and seven touchdowns on 146 carries while also reeling in 47 of 58 targets for 356 yards and five scores over 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old is expected to operate in a timeshare with J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) again this season, but the oft-injured Dobbins is already dealing with a soft-tissue injury at training camp. If Dobbins is unable to put together a healthy campaign, Harvey would have the opportunity to take command of Denver's backfield for years to come.

Wilson (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury in August 2025, but he was back on the field for the Eagles' OTAs in late May. The reoccurrence of a knee injury does not bode well, but the severity of the issue still remains unclear. Wilson was receiving some first-team wide-receiver reps before his injury, meaning his absence affords Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore additional opportunity to usurp him in the Eagles' air attack.

Pierce (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Pierce exited Saturday's practice with a hamstring injury, and it is unclear how long the running back will be absent due to the issue. With Elijah Mitchell (undisclosed) having been placed on injured reserve Monday, the team signed Ja'Quinden Jackson to further cement the running back room throughout the preseason. Currently, the No. 2 role behind Saquon Barkley is up for grabs, with Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley and Pierce fighting for snaps. If Pierce misses significant time, his chances of starting the season as the No. 2 back figure to diminish.

Thomas is dealing with knee soreness but isn't expected to miss much time, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas left Sunday's practice early with a knee injury and is day-to-day as he recovers from the issue. The wide receiver has been thrust into a more relevant role for at least the preseason after Luther Burden (groin) left Saturday's practice with a significant injury. The faster Thomas can return to the field, the more time he has to convince the coaching staff he deserves an increase in regular-season reps and targets alongside his kick-return duties.
