  • M.J. Stewart SAF | HOU

    Texans' M.J. Stewart: Could return during camp

    Texans GM Nick Caserio said Wednesday that Stewart (quadriceps) could return during training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    It sounds like Stewart is more week-to-week than day-to-day after he was placed on the active/PUP list to begin camp Tuesday. Stewart inked a one-year, $2.7 million deal to remain with the Texans over the offseason after he recorded 25 tackles (15 solo) across nine regular-season appearances in 2025.

  • E.J. Speed LB | HOU

    Texans' E.J. Speed: Looking at extended absence

    Speed (quadriceps) remains without a firm timetable for return and is looking at an extended absence, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Speed suffered a partial tear to his quad while lifting weights back in May and was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday. By the sounds of it, Speed could open the regular season on reserve/PUP list, which would cost him at least the first four games of 2026. Speed inked a two-year, $10 million deal with Houston over the offseason.

  • DJ Turner WR | LV

    Texans' DJ Turner: Signs with Houston

    The Texans signed Turner on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The 29-year-old wideout spent the previous four seasons with Las Vegas and caught 16 of 30 targets for 158 yards and one touchdown across 32 regular-season appearances during that span. He'll compete for one of the final spots at wide receiver in Houston.

  • Cyrus Allen WR | KC

    Chiefs' Cyrus Allen: Getting first-team snaps already

    Allen took first-team reps Wednesday and was praised by coach Andy Reid after practice, Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reports. "Yeah, so Cyrus (Allen) had a good day today," Reid said. "And I think Pat's (Mahomes) got some trust there."

    At the first practice of training camp, Allen took some snaps with the starting offense alongside Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton and Jalen Royals. Top wideout Rashee Rice (knee) was on the field for the beginning of practice, but he left before 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s, freeing up more first-team work for Allen and Royals. It sounds like Allen made the most of his opportunity, while Royals reportedly struggled with drops. It's only one practice, but Allen, a rookie fifth-round pick, is at least putting himself in excellent position for a roster spot. He may also generate interest as a deep fantasy sleeper given Kansas City's shaky WR room and excellent QB play.

  • Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Placed on PUP with pec strain

    The Eagles placed Greenard on the active/PUP list Wednesday with a strained pectoral, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Greenard suffered the injury lifting weights ahead of the start of training camp, but it's not expected to be a long-term issue for the Eagles' star edge rusher. Philadelphia acquired Greenard from the Vikings ahead of the 2026 Draft and signed him to a new four-year, $98 million deal. The 29-year-old recorded just 3.0 sacks across 12 regular-season games last season but posted a combined 24.5 sacks during the 2023-24 regular seasons.

  • Zach Harrison DE | ATL

    Falcons' Zach Harrison: Opening camp on active/NFI

    The Falcons placed Harrison (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.

    Harrison suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 7 of last season but participated in the offseason program, so it's unclear if his placement on the NFI list is related to that issue. After logging 22 tackles (nine solo), including 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 57 percent of the defensive snaps when healthy last season, Harrison is expected to be a key member of the Falcons' defensive line rotation in 2026.

  • Panthers' Chris Brazzell: Could miss up to eight weeks

    Brazzell (knee) suffered an LCL tear in his left knee at practice Wednesday that could sideline him up to eight weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Brazzell went down while participating in 7-on-7 drills Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports, during his first practice since knee soreness caused him to log a two-day absence. Per Person, his LCL injury is unrelated to that earlier soreness. While Brazzell will likely be able to retake the field during his rookie season, an injury forcing him to miss presumably the rest of training camp, and potentially also regular-season time, is a notable blow. The rookie third-round pick had been putting together impressive momentum and had seemingly been positioning himself to challenge Xavier Legette for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Carolina.

  • Grant Delpit SAF | CLE

    Browns' Grant Delpit: Inks three-year extension

    Delpit has agreed to a three-year extension with the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Per the report, Delpit's new deal is worth $48 million, with $35 million guaranteed. Delpit, who was in the final year of a contract worth $12 million per year, is coming off a 2025 season in which he recorded 89 tackles (48 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 17 regular-season games. As the coming season approaches, Delpit is slated to maintain his key role in Cleveland's secondary while working as a starting safety.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Not doing full-team drills

    Conner (foot) isn't yet doing full-team drills at training camp, Darren Urban of azcardinals.com reports.

    Coming back from season-ending foot surgery, Conner didn't do much during the offseason program but took part in the opening practices of training camp. Now that 11-on-11 drills are starting up, Conner has been forced to watch from the sideline while Tyler Allgeier and Jeremiyah Love take first-team reps. There will be concern for Conner's Week 1 availability if he doesn't begin full-team work within the next week or two.

  • Kaelon Black RB | SF

    49ers' Kaelon Black: Opportunity knocks

    Black has an opportunity to handle the bulk of No. 2 running back role behind Christian McCaffrey early in training camp after Jordan James suffered a fractured rib on Tuesday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

    Black will look to make the most of his immediate opportunities at camp, with Vic Tafur of The Athletic noting that the rookie third-rounder had already gotten off to a strong start. While James should still be ready in advance of Week 1, his grasp on the No. 2 backfield role could lessen if Black is able to continue stringing together momentum. Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) also began training camp on the active/PUP list, leaving Patrick Taylor and Sincere McCormick as Black's main current competition for reps. Given these developments, Black's average fantasy draft position will figure to rise in advance of the preseason.
