Williams (knee) did not participate in Saturday's practice session, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Williams reportedly suffered a knee contusion during Thursday's session and needed to be helped off the field, Berman stated. Depending on the severity of the contusion, Williams could be back in a few days or out for a significant amount of time.

The Lions signed White to a one-year contract Saturday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

White participated in all 17 regular-season games for the Raiders last year, producing 174 tackles (95 solo), including 2.5 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception and a forced fumble. The linebacker was ranked third in the NFL in tackles as well. White will provide a strong veteran presence to a Lions linebacker corps that has suffered consistent injuries over the past few seasons.

Allen was diagnosed with a shin bruise on his left leg that he suffered during Saturday's training camp practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It's a best-case scenario for the rookie fifth-rounder, who had to be carted off the field after sustaining the injury on a special teams drill. Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, the Chiefs consider Allen day-to-day, which puts the young wideout on track to be available for the team's preseason opener against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15.

White (groin) left Saturday's practice early, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

White suffered adductor issues during the session, and it is unclear how serious or persistent the issue is. The 27-year-old participated in 14 regular-season games last season between the Patriots and 49ers, logging 18 tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks. If the outside linebacker must miss time, Sam Okuayinonu and KJ Henry may see more opportunities due to a diminished linebacker corps.

Height (elbow) did not participate in Saturday's practice session, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The third-round rookie out of Texas Tech has not yet had a chance to prove himself in training camp. Height was carted off the field on Monday due to cramps and has now sustained an elbow issue. If the outside linebacker cannot stay on the field, it will be hard for him to pass Sam Okuayinonu on the depth chart before the start of the regular season.

Thompson (hip) did not participate in Saturday's practice session, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Thompson overcame a pectoral injury to participate in Wednesday's first training camp session, but has since suffered another injury. If the hip issue requires the starting strong safety to miss significant time, P.J. Locke will likely see more opportunities for reps with the starting secondary.

Sample (knee) missed Saturday's practice session, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Sample overcame an oblique injury in a short two-week span during the 2025 season, so it is likely the outside linebacker can recover quickly from this knee setback. The 49ers' depth option is battle-tested from his time on the Bengals and will be a strong "break glass" option if the team's infamous injury bug persists in 2026.

Jacas (knee) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Jacas was seen working with coach Mike Vrabel 1-on-1 on punt-protection techniques. The rookie second-rounder out of Illinois still resides on the active/non-football injury list due to a knee issue he underwent surgery after being drafted to fix. Limited work in training camp means there is a good chance Jacas is ready for the regular season and can contribute to the Patriots' defense as a rotational outside linebacker.

Stribling will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to hamstring tightness, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Stribling's absence Saturday is out of precaution, with the positive news being that he's dealing with tightness, rather than a strain. Still, it's yet another injury to the Niners' pass-catching corps, with Ricky Pearsall set to undergo season-ending surgery to repair the PCL in his right knee. Deebo Samuel was signed by San Francisco on Friday to solidify the team's depth at wideout in Pearsall's absence, but Stribling -- when healthy -- will have plenty of chances to earn a consistent role for himself in the offense alongside Samuel, Mike Evans and Christian Kirk (calf).

Worthy left Saturday's training camp practice due to a shoulder injury, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear whether Worthy's injury is to the same shoulder that he underwent offseason surgery for to repair a torn labrum. He'll continue to be evaluated by medical staff to determine the severity of the injury, but with both Worthy and Cyrus Allen (lower leg) leaving Saturday's practice early, there could be more offensive snaps on the table for the likes of Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee.
