Blackmon (shoulder) is participating in minicamp, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

The safety played in just one game in 2025 due to a shoulder injury, but he nonetheless re-signed with the Saints in January. Blackmon recorded 86 tackles with the Colts in 2024.

Hickman signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Browns on Thursday, Dominic Pagura of SI.com reports.

The move keeps the safety in Cleveland for at least 2026. Hickman broke out last season, finishing with 103 tackles (51 solo) and seven pass breakups, including two interceptions. He should play a starting role again in the coming campaign.

Reid (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Bills on Thursday.

If the running back goes unclaimed by other teams, he will revert to Buffalo's injured-reserve list, at which point he'd have to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play in 2026. Reid signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in May. In seven games with Pitt in 2025, he recorded 60 carries for 278 yards and two touchdowns as well as 23 catches for 317 yards and two scores.

Benyard was waived by the Bills on Thursday.

The wide receiver signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in May after five seasons at Kennesaw State. In 2025, Benyard finished with 60 catches for 949 yards and nine touchdowns. He'll now have to look elsewhere for an NFL home.

Tomczak signed with the Bills on Thursday.

The wide receiver initially signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in April, but he was waived in May. Tomczak caught 225 passes for 3,024 yards and 15 touchdowns in four seasons at Youngstown State.

Thompkins signed with the Bills on Thursday.

The wide receiver was cut by Atlanta in May after seeing action as a punt and kick returner for the team in 2025. Thompkins will likely aim to compete for a similar role with the Bills, as he has just 29 regular-season catches across four NFL campaigns.

Morrison missed Thursday's OTA session due to a leg issue, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Quadriceps and hamstring injuries limited Morrison to 10 games during his rookie season in 2025, though it's unclear if this is a similar issue. Morrison was selected in the second round of the draft last year and projects as a starter when available.

Yeboah (knee) signed with the Cardinals on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The tight end appears to be healthy again after missing the 2025 campaign with a knee issue. Yeboah saw regular-season action each year with the Jets from 2021-24, though he played more on special teams than offense during most of that time.

Morris was traded to the Falcons by the Chiefs on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The 2023 third-round pick started 16 regular-season games across three seasons with Kansas City, but he found himself on the outside looking in at KC's starting lineup for 2026. Jake Matthews and Jawaan Taylor project as Atlanta's starting tackles for the upcoming season, but Morris gives the team's line some needed depth and experience in the wake of Kaleb McGary's retirement, per Marc Raimondi and Nate Taylor of ESPN.

Shrader (knee) went three of five on kicks during Thursday's minicamp session, Kevin Bowen 93.5 The Fan in Indianapolis reports.

It's notable that the kicker is participating in practice after tearing his ACL in Week 5 of the 2025 campaign after being run into by a defender. Shrader is on track to compete with Blake Grupe for the Colts' starting kick job during training camp. Grupe made all five of his kicks Thursday, per Bowen.
