Evans has been diagnosed with a low ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

The Panthers got another injury scare when Evans had to be carted off the field Tuesday, but Evans avoided a serious injury. The 23-year-old was a fifth-round pick last year and secured 19 of 25 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.

Stewart was carted off the field after sustaining a left leg injury in Wednesday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Stewart was injured on the first day of training camp and is now on crutches and has his leg in a brace as he awaits the results of further testing following the injury. Stewart was the Bengals' first-round pick, at No. 17 overall, last year and appeared in just eight regular-season games due to ankle and knee injuries. His knee appeared to buckle in practice Wednesday. Stewart is expected to help replace the snaps vacated by Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati this season.

Trubisky is considered day-to-day due to general tightness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The veteran backup quarterback felt the tightness during the initial conditioning test to begin training camp. With Trubisky down for a couple days, Will Levis should get most of the reps with the second-team offense. The two are competing for the top backup job behind Cam Ward this summer.

Morrison remains limited in practice at training camp due to a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison worked off to the side with the training staff Wednesday after he initially suffered the strained hamstring during spring work. Morrison was a second-round pick last year and appeared in just 10 regular-season games as a rookie, making three starts. With Jamel Dean now in Pittsburgh, Morrison is expected to compete for a starting job at cornerback this summer.

Ponds sustained a strained calf in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Aaron Glenn said it's not a serious injury for the rookie cornerback. Selected in the second round of April's 2026 NFL Draft, Ponds is fully expected to be a key contributor at cornerback in 2026.

Vea suffered a tweaked back in Tuesday's condition test at training camp, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Vea is "holding in" at training camp after he requested a trade out of Tampa Bay earlier in the week. He's looking for a new contract as he heads into the final year of a four-year, $71 million extension that was signed in 2022. Vea started all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and recorded 34 tackles (16 solo), including 4.5 sacks. He's certainly on the downslope of his career and is looking to cash in one more time.

Legette has better odds of winning Carolina's No. 3 receiver job after rookie Chris Brazzell suffered an LCL tear, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brazzell, a third-round pick, is expected to miss the rest of the summer and at least the first few weeks of the regular season. Legette is left to compete with David Moore, John Metchie, Jimmy Horn and others for spots Nos. 3 to 6 on the depth chart. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are locked in as the top duo, looking like runaway favorites to rank first and second on the team in targets, though early camp hype suggests RB Jonathon Brooks might emerge as a third useful pass catcher.

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Wednesday that Stewart (quadriceps) could return during training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It sounds like Stewart is more week-to-week than day-to-day after he was placed on the active/PUP list to begin camp Tuesday. Stewart inked a one-year, $2.7 million deal to remain with the Texans over the offseason after he recorded 25 tackles (15 solo) across nine regular-season appearances in 2025.

Speed (quadriceps) remains without a firm timetable for return and is looking at an extended absence, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Speed suffered a partial tear to his quad while lifting weights back in May and was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday. By the sounds of it, Speed could open the regular season on reserve/PUP list, which would cost him at least the first four games of 2026. Speed inked a two-year, $10 million deal with Houston over the offseason.

The Texans signed Turner on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The 29-year-old wideout spent the previous four seasons with Las Vegas and caught 16 of 30 targets for 158 yards and one touchdown across 32 regular-season appearances during that span. He'll compete for one of the final spots at wide receiver in Houston.
