Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Carter twisted his ankle during Monday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Harbaugh added that the injury "doesn't look serious," but the Giants likely will be cautious with Carter's health ahead of the 2026 season. Carter, the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, posted solid numbers during his rookie campaign, recording 43 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 17 contests.

Collins (concussion) was spotted working with trainers on the side at practice Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

It appears Collins has still not returned to full health after missing the Giants' final eight games last season with a neck injury and a concussion. The Notre Dame product caught two of six targets for 25 yards across nine contests in 2025, contributing on both offense (84 snaps) and special teams (110 snaps). Once fully healthy, Collins is expected to compete for a similar role ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Sweat was present for the Cardinals' mandatory minicamp Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sweat chose not to participate in Arizona's voluntary OTAs, but he's now returned for the mandatory part of the offseason program. The veteran edge rusher impressed during his first season with the Cardinals, appearing in all 17 games and posting 30 total tackles, including a career-high 12.0 sacks, four forced fumbles and two passes defensed. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's top pass rushers ahead of the 2026 season.

Walthall signed with the Jets on Monday.

Walthall was waived by the Texans last week but already has found a new home with the Jets. The 23-year-old undrafted rookie from Incarnate Word recorded 155 receptions for 2,137 yards and 22 touchdowns across 24 games during his final two collegiate seasons. He's expected to battle for a depth spot in the Jets' receiving corps as the offseason progresses.

The Jets waived Skinner (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday.

The 24-year-old wideout from Kansas spent time with the Jets' practice squad and active roster last season, appearing in one game and catching his lone target for 10 yards across 15 offensive snaps. Skinner is now dealing with an apparent injury, and his spot on New York's roster has been taken by Jalen Walthall.

Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brissett would've been subject to fines if he didn't show up for minicamp after he stayed away from the Cardinals during voluntary workouts earlier this offseason. It's unclear if Brissett is giving up on his quest for more money or if he'll "hold in" during minicamp and training camp in an effort to squeeze some guaranteed money out of Arizona. The veteran quarterback is in the final year of a two-year deal and is set to collect a $4.88 million salary for 2026 as his contract currently stands.

Skattebo (ankle) took part in running and agility drills at the first day of mandatory minicamp Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Skattebo, who said in mid-May that he expects to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, is roughly eight months removed from the dislocated right ankle that limited him to eight games as a rookie. While it doesn't yet appear that the 2025 fourth-round pick has been cleared for full team drills, it's encouraging to see him demonstrate lateral quickness in on-field individual drills. The Giants may be targeting training camp in July as the next major step forward in Skattebo's recovery.

Ridley (leg) is participating in Monday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

After being held out at the beginning of OTAs last month, Ridley has his helmet while running routes and catching passes Monday. The veteran wideout suffered a broken fibula Week 11 last season and now is seven months removed from the injury, so he should be at or near 100 percent. Ridley has much stiffer competition for targets in 2026 after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency before using the No. 4 overall pick in April's draft on Carnell Tate.

Boutte said Sunday that he plans to attend New England's upcoming mandatory minicamp after having skipped spring voluntary workouts, Dan Roche of WBZ reports.

Boutte's standing with the Patriots for 2026 (the final year of his rookie deal) and beyond has been a point of offseason speculation after the team traded for A.J. Brown from the Eagles and inked Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal during free agency. The 24-year-old acknowledged that he tries to block out "the trade rumors or anything like that," saying "I want to be in New England for the rest of my career." Across 14 regular-season games in 2025, Boutte tallied a 33-551-6 line on 46 targets while averaging a career-best 16.7 yards per catch. With he and Brown effectively playing the same X receiver role, however, it may be difficult for Boutte to push for more than rotational reps in 2026.

Brissett is expected to report to the Cardinals' minicamp this week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Brissett has been away from the team as he's been holding out to get an increase in pay for the 2026 campaign, but the quarterback will at least be in attendance this week. It's unclear how much he'll participate, but his arrival is still a notable development. Brissett is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns while throwing eight interceptions over 14 contests with Arizona.
