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.

Tippmann has agreed to a four-year, $62 million extension with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Tippmann, who was approaching the final year of his rookie pact, now is under contract with the Jets through 2030 on a deal that includes $31 million in new guarantees, per Cimini. The 2023 second-rounder, who has missed only one regular-season game through his first three campaigns as a pro, worked at center in 2023 and parts of 2024, but made the full-time switch to right guard (where he'll continue to start) last year.

Reiman (ankle) is tracking to be ready for training camp, Jess Root of USA Today reports.

Reiman is recovering from a season-ending ankle injury suffered in early October. The 2024 third-rounder has caught nine passes in his career despite playing all 17 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2024, as well as the first four games of the 2025 campaign. When healthy, Reiman will still likely serve as the No. 2 tight end behind star Trey McBride.

The Patriots are hopeful that Jacas (knee) will be ready for the start of training camp, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Jacas remained away from the team and unsigned throughout mandatory minicamp. Head coach Mike Vrabel declined to disclose the nature of Jacas' current injury, but he noted that the rookie second-rounder is recovering from surgery. A hamstring injury held Jacas out of the 2026 NFL Combine in February and Illinois' Pro Day in March, but he worked out at his personal pro day in April. A source tells Reiss that Jacas is currently recovering from a knee procedure and that the Patriots are likely seeking injury-related financial protection within the terms of his contract.

Hyatt (lower body) took part in the Giants' recent mandatory minicamp and looked good at practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.

Hyatt was limited to the side field during spring practices, but the 2023 third-round pick now appears back to full health. The 24-year-old was regularly a healthy scratch in 2025 and suited up for only 10 regular-season games, totaling eight catches for 35 yards on 14 targets. He's competing with players like Braxton Berrios, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Odell Beckham, Isaiah Hodgins, Beaux Collins (concussion) and Ryan Miller for a roster spot.

Noel was a standout at the Texans' mandatory minicamp, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.

Noel reportedly connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for multiple touchdowns during team drills at mandatory minicamp, which took place from June 9-11. The 2025 third-rounder displayed impressive versatility as a rookie, suiting up for all 17 regular-season games while compiling a 26-292-2 receiving line (on 35 targets), rushing six times for 12 yards, and racking up 799 kick-return yards and 335 yards on punt returns. He enters Year 2 competing with Tank Dell (knee) and Xavier Hutchinson for receiver reps behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins, with Koch reporting that Noel currently appears to be in the lead for the No. 3 role.

Scott participated in the Colts' minicamp practice Thursday.

Scott missed most of his 2025 rookie season due to a persistent knee injury. The reserve safety appears to be back to full health, however, and he'll likely slot into a rotational role in the coming season.

Simmons was seen participating in the Chiefs' minicamp Friday, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

The 2025 first-round pick missed multiple games during his rookie season due to personal issues and then suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 13 against the Cowboys. Simmons is now back on the field for minicamp and appears ready to protect Patrick Mahomes in the 2026 season.

Cosmi was seen participating at Commanders OTAs on Friday.

Cosmi was placed on injured reserve in late December with a concussion. The guard's presence at OTAs shows he's back to full health and ready to start the season at right guard as expected.
