Branch (Achilles) will most likely remain on the sideline until training camp at the earliest, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.

The safety tore his ACL in Week 14 of the 2025 campaign, and while he's on track in his recovery, he has not recovered just yet, per Woodyard. It's also possible that Branch opens the 2026 campaign on the physically unable to perform list, according to Woodyard, citing Lions coach Dan Campbell. Branch recorded 75 tackles (48 solo) and nine pass breakups in 12 games last year.

McCoy (knee) should be ready to go once training camp starts in the summer, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.

The cornerback was a limited participant during OTAs, but that's just due to a "management program," per Bonsignore. McCoy missed the 2025 collegiate campaign after tearing his ACL, but he still got drafted in the fourth round by the Raiders. During training camp, he should have a chance to compete for slotting in the Raiders secondary ahead of Week 1.

Overshown has been practicing at middle and weakside linebacker during minicamp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The linebacker is also healthy and wearing no knee brace, per Machota. That's significant, seeing as he missed 12 games with a knee injury in 2025. Overshown made an impact in 2024, with 90 tackles (56 solo), including 5.0 sacks, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

Coker and the Panthers agreed on a three-year, $35 million contract extension with incentives up to $41 million Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coker was entering a contract year after signing his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Carolina in April, but he will now be under contract for the next few seasons. The wide receiver has combined to catch 65 of 89 targets for 872 yards and five touchdowns over 22 regular-season contests in his first two NFL campaigns. He is set to enter the 2026 season as the Panthers' primary slot receiver, and he'll look to take a step up in production after his big payday.

Delane has a shoulder injury and had to miss multiple minicamp sessions, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed the injury after Thursday's session, per Sweeney. At the same time, Reid said Delane would be ready for training camp. The first-round pick projects as a starter for Kansas City in his rookie campaign.

Davis signed with the Steelers on Thursday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound wide receiver spent time on the Vikings practice squad in 2025 and during the 2026 offseason prior to being waived last week. Davis, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft, has yet to make his regular-season debut.

Palmer (ankle) is participating in minicamp, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

The wide receiver was placed on injured reserve with an ankle issue during October of last season. Palmer did not appear in a regular-season game in 2025.

Miller (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.Net reports.

The running back was not practicing during OTAs as recently as late May after tearing his ACL in Week 7 of the 2025 campaign. Now, though, he appears to be back, at least on a limited basis. At the moment, the 2023 third-round pick faces a crowded backfield situation in New Orleans, with free-agent signing Travis Etienne, veteran Alvin Kamara and 2025 sixth-round pick Devin Neal.

Ridley (leg) took his first 7-on-7 reps of the offseason Thursday, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.

Coming back from last year's fibula fracture, Ridley had previously been limited to individual drills and stretching during OTAs. He still hasn't done full-team work, but that should come at the start of training camp, if not at mandatory minicamp June 16-17. The 31-year-old wideout restructured his contract in March, shortly after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year deal. The team then drafted Carnell Tate fourth overall, completing a makeover of last year's undermanned WR room. Ridley doesn't have NFL experience working as anything other than the first or second option in a passing game, but that might be his new reality in Tennessee, assuming he even has enough left in the tank to lock down a top-three role at WR.

Jeudy (hamstring) didn't participate in team drills Thursday, Ashley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, coach Todd Monken noted that Jeudy felt something in his hamstring Thursday, and as a result the Browns erred on the side of caution with the wideout on the final day of their mandatory minicamp. Jeudy -- who logged 50-602-2 line on 106 targets in 17 regular-season games last season -- should be past the issue by the time training camp starts, and looking ahead he'll continue to lead a Cleveland WR corps that's been bolstered by the addition of promising 2026 draftees KC Concepcion (Rd.1) and Denzel Boston (Rd. 2).
