Addison (thumb) is expected to be close to a full participant at the Vikings' night practice Sunday, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Addison has been battling a thumb injury at practice throughout the week, but it has been considered to be a minor injury throughout the entire process. The wide receiver appears to be on track to be back to full health in the near future, and the earlier he can be back to 100 percent, the better, as Minnesota is in the midst of accessing who its starting quarterback will be in 2026.

The Packers waived/injured Baldwin (knee) on Sunday.

Baldwin suffered a knee injury in last Tuesday's training camp session. The defensive back will now be subject to waivers, and if he clears them, he will revert to the Packers' injured reserve. Baldwin will be set to spend the entirety of the 2026 season on IR unless the team waives him with an injury settlement.

The Buccaneers waived Lucas (undisclosed) with a failed-physical designation, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Lucas started training camp on the active/PUP list due to the issue and was simply unable to get healthy in a time period that worked for the Buccaneers. The cornerback is now subject to waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

Coleman is set to move back to left tackle, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Coleman moved to left guard after being drafted by the Commanders due to the presence of Laremy Tunsil (triceps). Since Tunsil will miss a significant portion of the 2026 season due to his recent triceps tear, the team has made the decision to move Coleman back to his original position. Chris Paul is set to start at left guard to replace Coleman.

The Bears signed Bishop (suspension) to a contract Sunday.

Bishop finds a new home with the Bears shortly after being waived by the Saints in late July. The cornerback is set to miss the first three games of the 2026 regular season for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy back in March. Bishop's suspension does not prohibit him from practicing or playing during the preseason, so he may see some action due to the injuries to Coby Bryant (knee), Cam Lewis (leg), Elijah Hicks (shin), Kyler Gordon (calf) and Terell Smith (knee).

Pocic (ankle) exited Sunday's practice early, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Pocic limped off the field during Sunday's session after suffering an injury to his left ankle. The center had surgery for his left Achilles in December, so any extra strain allocated to the leg may be problematic. The team will likely be very careful with Lamar Jackson's new starting center, and it is unclear how long it will hold him out of practice.

Thomas (undisclosed) exited Sunday's practice early after a 7-on-7 collision, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

While it has not been disclosed what type of injury Thomas suffered, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports that the wide receiver briefly grabbed his knee before limping off the field. The rookie third-rounder was set to start the regular season as the primary kick returner for the Bears, so any long-term knee issue wouldn't be great for the team's versatility. If Thomas must miss time, Jahdae Walker could see an increase in usage, continuing the momentum he built near the end of his rookie season.

The Lions signed Ogbongbemiga to a contract Sunday.

Ogbongbemiga was released by the Bears in February and now finds a spot with a division rival. The middle linebacker lands a roster spot with the Lions due to the corresponding waiving of tight end Nick Muse. Ogbongbemiga will provide additional depth to a linebacker corps with a history of injury. Even if he cannot survive cutdown day, there is a good chance Ogbongbemiga will find a place with the Lions' practice squad.

Peebles (undisclosed) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Peebles has missed the last few practices with a minor, undisclosed issue. The defensive tackle will hope to be good to go by the regular season. The 2025 sixth-rounder out of Virginia Tech participated in six games during his rookie season, playing 71 defensive snaps.

Westbrook-Ikhine's stock has risen in training camp as he battles for the Colts' WR3 role behind Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (groin), James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

The absences of Pierce and, most recently, Downs has provided Westbrook-Ikhine with the opportunity to work in an expanded role in the first-team offense. So far, Westbrook-Ikhine has answered the call, and the veteran wide receiver has strengthened his case for the No. 3 job ahead of Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell. Westbrook-Ikhine's best year came in 2024 with the Titans, when he caught 32 passes (on 60 targets) for 497 yards and nine touchdowns across 17 regular-season games.
