Woods (leg) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Woods has been dealing with a right leg injury during the offseason program and was cut with an injury designation Tuesday. After going unclaimed on waivers, Woods will now head to Denver's injured reserve. It's very possible, and even likely, that he'll eventually be cut with an injury settlement, which would allow him to find another team and suit up at some point during the upcoming campaign.

Ravenell (undisclosed) reverted to Tennessee's injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction report.

The 25-year-old from Missouri Western cleared waivers and will now miss all of the 2026 season unless he can agree to an injury settlement with the Titans. Ravenell appeared in 14 games for Tennessee last year, recording six total tackles and one forced fumble.

Pline (upper body) signed with the Chiefs on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pline was sidelined for all of the 2025 season due to an upper body injury, but his signing with the Chiefs on Wednesday suggests he's moved past the issue. The Furman product has yet to appear in an NFL game after catching 32 passes for 287 yards and four touchdowns across 11 games during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Phillips (triceps/illness) was spotted participating in Tuesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

The fourth-year corner from Utah missed Atlanta's final 13 games in 2025 due to a triceps issue, but it now appears he's moved past the injury. Phillips was one of the Falcons' top corners in 2024, recording 35 total tackles, five passes defensed, including one interception, and two forced fumbles across 16 regular-season appearances. Now fully healthy, he's expected to compete for a reserve role in the secondary as the offseason progresses.

Matiscik signed a two-year, $3.8 million extension with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Matiscik is now set to remain in Jacksonville after spending the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Jaguars. This new deal makes him the highest-paid long snapper in the league, and he'll look to make his fourth consecutive All-Pro team during the 2026 season.

Trice (knee) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of BigNewsNetwork.com reports.

Trice, a 2024 third-round pick from Washington, has yet to make his NFL debut due to a knee injury sustained during the 2024 preseason. However, he was spotted participating in the full 11-on-11 periods of practice, suggesting he's now moved past the issue. Expect Trice to compete for a reserve role in Atlanta's edge-rush corps ahead of the 2026 season.

Walker (undisclosed) was spotted participating in Tuesday's practice, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.

The 25-year-old was sidelined for all of the Broncos' 2025 campaign due to an injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Expect Walker to compete for a reserve role among Denver's linebacker corps as the offseason progresses.

Washington was waived by the Falcons on Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of Bowtie Sports reports.

Washington spent each of the last two years with the Falcons, but it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. Across 15 career regular-season NFL contests, the Illinois product has caught seven of 16 targets for 108 yards.

Simmons confirmed he underwent an elbow procedure during the offseason, Easton Freeze of AtoZSports.com reports.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Wednesday that Simmons is "dealing with a couple of things," when asked about the defensive tackle's health, leaving his timeline for a return uncertain. Despite dealing with an elbow issue during the 2025 season, Simmons was still incredibly productive, posting 67 total tackles, including 11.0 sacks, three passes defensed and three forced fumbles across 15 contests. Once fully healthy, he's expected to remain one of the NFL's most dominant interior defensive linemen.

The Falcons signed Maxwell on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Maxwell is coming off a productive season with the DC Defenders of the UFL in 2026, posting 23 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season games. Now in Atlanta, he's expected to compete for a reserve interior defensive lineman role.
