  • Falcons' Billy Bowman: Starting training camp on PUP

    The Falcons placed Bowman (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Wednesday.

    Bowman continues to progress in his recovery from a torn Achilles that he suffered this past November, and he'll be eligible to participate in training camp practices once he's fully healthy. Bowman was a fourth-round selection of the Falcons in the 2025 NFL Draft and logged 26 tackles (15 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across six regular-season games prior to his Achilles injury.

  • William Bradley-King: Getting waived with injury

    San Francisco waived Bradley-King (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday.

    Bradley-King got picked up by the 49ers back in January, but he's now on track to spend the 2026 season on the team's injured reserve list unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period. In corresponding transactions, San Francisco also waived/injured Andrew Farmer (back), and signed KJ Henry and veteran Quinton Bell.

  • Jawaan Taylor OT | ATL

    Falcons' Jawaan Taylor: Opening camp on PUP

    The Falcons placed Taylor (elbow/triceps) on the active/PUP list Wednesday.

    Taylor is still recovering from triceps and elbow injuries that prevented him from playing in the Chiefs' final five games of the 2025 regular season. He'll be eligible to practice once he's fully healthy, but in the meantime, Wanya Morris and Michael Jerrell will both see more snaps at right tackle with the first-team offense.

  • Packers' Matthew Orzech: Dealing with calf injury

    Orzech is currently battling a calf injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Orzech was placed on the PUP list Tuesday with what's now being described as a hamstring injury. Green Bay will need to bring in another long snapper to fill in during Orzech's absence.

  • Packers' Javon Hargrave: Tending to knee issue

    Hargrave is on the Packers' active/PUP list during training camp due to a knee injury, Matt Schneidman of the Athletic reports.

    Per Schneidman, whatever happened to Hargrave's knee after the end of last season is not a long-term concern. Green Bay will likely exercise patience with the offseason free agent acquisition, potentially giving 2025 sixth-rounder Warren Brinson some chances to work with the first-team defensive line.

  • Aaron Banks G | GB

    Packers' Aaron Banks: Activated off PUP

    The Packers activated Banks (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

    Banks is eligible to practice again after passing his physical. The 28-year-old spent just two days on the PUP list and is now set to return to his role as Green Bay's starting left guard.

  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Brooks is on the Packers' active/non-football injury list during training camp due to a hamstring injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Brooks sustained the injury after the 2025 campaign wrapped up, but its severity is still unknown at this point. In his absence, Pierre Strong and 2025 seventh-rounder Damien Martinez could get more looks out of the backfield in practice.

  • Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Sustains hamstring injury

    Wirfs suffered a hamstring injury Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Wirfs got hurt during a conditioning test and is currently considered day-to-day. Once healthy again, the 27-year-old will resume his role as the team's starting left tackle.

  • DJ Turner CB | CIN

    Bengals' DJ Turner: Scuffles with Chase in practice

    Turner (calf) was active in Wednesday's training camp practice, mixing it up with Ja'Marr Chase during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Turner suffered a calf injury during the Bengals' regular-season finale against the Browns in 2025, but he was fully active in Wednesday's practice, with the 2023 second-rounder getting into the face of Chase before the two players were separated. Turner downplayed the confrontation, telling reporters after practice "brothers fight all the time. Nothing else to it." He's entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal, but it's unclear whether the talented corner and the Bengals will reach an agreement on a contract extension before the start of the 2026 regular season. Turner finished 2025 with 40 tackles (28 solo), 18 pass defenses (including two interceptions), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

  • Packers' Keisean Nixon: Nursing hamstring issue

    Nixon (hamstring) did not participate at the Packers' training camp practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Nixon picked up the hamstring injury after last season ended, although it's not clear exactly what happened. As long as he remains on the sidelines, it should mean more opportunities at practice for rookie second-rounder Brandon Cisse to make an impression.
