Wiggins suffered no structural damage in his left leg after he was carted off the field during Tuesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Wiggins got tangled up with rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane during a 1-on-1 drill and couldn't put any weight on his left leg in the aftermath of the play. Coach Jesse Minter later told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com that he thinks "there's optimism" regarding the situation, "but we'll look at it, [and] we'll see where it's at." While Wiggins appears to have avoided a significant injury, a definitive prognosis has yet to emerge for the third-year cornerback, who totaled 76 tackles and three interceptions over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Ogbah signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ogbah was part of the Chiefs' roster in 2019 and contributed to the team's run to Super Bowl LIV. He has 10 NFL seasons under his belt and appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2025, when he logged 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense. Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) has been sidelined for the past two weeks of training camp, so Ogbah will have the opportunity to compete for a rotational role at defensive end behind starters George Karlaftis and Felix Anudike-Uzomah.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that the hope is Valentine (hamstring) is cleared to return to training camp practices next week, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Given LaFleur's comments, Valentine will not be available for Thursday's preseason opener against the Steelers. If the 2023 seventh-rounder is cleared to return to practice next week, then he could be available for the Packers' second exhibition contest against the Broncos on Friday, Aug. 21. Benjamin St-Juste and Brandon Cisse will work more with the first-team offense opposite cornerback Keisean Nixon for as long as Valentine is sidelined.

Bailey (ankle) was cleared to participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Ralph Vacchiano of FoxSports.com reports.

Bailey was considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury that he picked up during Sunday's practice. The injury wasn't a serious one, and with the rookie first-rounder back on the field Tuesday, it puts him on track to be available for Friday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.

Deshaun Watson and Sanders are listed as co-starters on the Brown' unofficial depth chart, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Coach Todd Monken has yet to reveal his QB plans for Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears, but it's expected that whichever of the two signal callers starts that contest will give way the other one in Cleveland's second exhibition tilt. For the time being, Watson and Sanders continue to share first-team practice reps, with no timeline offered for a decision on the team's Week 1 starter.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters Tuesday that Ward (back) does not have a timeline for return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Ward has not practiced in training camp due to a back issue that also prevented him from participating in minicamp in June. He's unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason opener against New England, and it remains to be seen whether Ward will suit up for any of the Colts' exhibition games. Cam Taylor-Britt (suspension), Mekhi Blackmon and Johnathan Edwards will all see more reps with the first-team defense at outside cornerback for as long as Ward is sidelined.

Head coach Brian Campbell told reporters Tuesday that Branch (Achilles) is coming along in his rehab and could return to practice in late August or early September, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Branch continues to recover from a torn Achilles that he suffered in December, which prompted the Lions to place the 2023 second-rounder on the active/PUP list to start training camp. He won't play in any of the Lions' three exhibition games, but depending on how his recovery goes over the next month, Branch could be available for Detroit's regular-season opener against New Orleans on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Tuesday that Joseph (knee/personal) could be back on the field with the Lions early on in the upcoming regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Campbell relayed that Joseph is currently away from the team to attend to a personal matter but added that the fifth-year safety's rehab from his knee injury is "coming along very well." Joseph missed the final 13 games of the regular season due to a knee injury and opened camp on the active/PUP list. A stint on injured reserve may not be necessary for the 2022 third-rounder, though it's unclear whether he'll suit up for the Lions' regular-season opener against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Kamara and Travis Etienne are listed as co-RB1s on the Saints' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

This comes as a bit of a surprise considering Etienne signed a big money deal (four years, $52 million) to join the Saints in the offseason, while Kamara agreed to a reworked contract (one year, $6 million) in mid-July to remain with the only team he's over known. However, Kamara has been taking on more of the passing-down reps during camp, with Etienne handling early downs, and how the running backs are listed on the depth chart suggests both will have regular roles in the offense. That said, the initial depth chart might simply be a sign of respect for a franchise icon as Kamara enters what could be his final season in New Orleans.

The Falcons waived/injured Brockington (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

The nature and severity of Brockington's injury is not clear. However, if he goes unclaimed off waivers, he would revert to the Falcons' injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Atlanta. Brockington signed with the Falcons in early May as an undrafted free agent following a four-year college career at Minnesota.
