Henningsen tore his Achilles during Friday's training camp practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

It's a brutal blow for the 2022 sixth-rounder, who tore his other Achilles during a joint practice against the 49ers during the Broncos' 2025 training camp in August. It will be another lengthy rehab process for Henningsen, who signed a one-year contract with the Broncos in March and will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season.

Atlanta released Andersen (knee) on Friday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Andersen sat out the entire 2025 campaign as he worked to recover from a knee injury he suffered back in 2024, and he started training camp on the PUP list in 2026. He'll now become a free agent and be eligible to suit up for another club when capable.

Jordan was held out of Friday's training-camp practice due to a minor, undisclosed injury, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The nature of Jordan's injury hasn't been announced by the Texans, but it could be related to the torn patellar tendon injury that he sustained during training camp in August of 2025. The decision to keep him out of Friday's practice was a precautionary measure and should not impact his availability ahead of the Texans' preseason opener against the Chargers this Thursday.

Ayomanor (shoulder) is practicing Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ayomanor exited Thursday's practice early due to an issue with his left shoulder, but he apparently dodged a serious injury. The second-year wideout is competing for slotting in Tennessee's wideout pecking order, so it's important that he didn't have to miss much time.

Sims (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

It's not clear what kind of issue Sims is dealing with or when he'll be able to return to practice. Until then, Cole Turner and Jeremiah Franklin may move up in the Dolphins' tight end pecking order.

Wallace (shoulder) recorded three tackles during Thursday's 33-30 preseason win at Arizona.

Wallace underwent surgery to address a shoulder issue after an injury ended his year early in 2025, but he was able to suit up for the unofficial start of the preseason. He is a candidate for a starting role at linebacker in 2026, but he'll need to find a way to stay healthy to put himself on the IDP radar.

King completed 21 of 34 passes for 180 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions during the Panthers' 33-30 win over the Cardinals in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game. He added three carries for 39 yards and a score.

Kenny Pickett was under center for the Panthers' first three drives before the keys were turned over to King in the second quarter. King got to work right away, leading Carolina on a 10-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Seem Reed before adding a five-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Tyus on the second play of the fourth quarter. King made one clutch play after another during the Panthers' final drive, including a 26-yard scramble on third-and-14, and his five-yard run on the game's final play resulted in the game-winning touchdown for Carolina. It was an impressive performance out of King, who signed with the Panthers in late April as an undrafted free agent after his name wasn't called during the 2026 NFL Draft. Although Pickett is the favorite to win the backup QB role behind Bryce Young, King could steal that job away if he can continue to play well in training camp and preseason games. The Panthers' next exhibition game takes place Saturday, Aug. 15 against the Bills.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Bates is nursing a "minor" back injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Bates could be held out of some drills during training camp, but it doesn't seem like it will affect his availability for Week 1 of the regular season. He figures to occupy one of Atlanta's starting safety spots when healthy in 2026.

Amos (lower leg) passed his physical and has been removed from the Commanders' PUP list as of Friday.

Washington was taking a cautious approach with Amos as he tended to some soft tissue soreness during the offseason, but it looks like he's now ready to get back up to full speed. If he can hang on to a role similar to the one he was in last year prior to suffering a season-ending fibula fracture in Week 10, he'll be a big piece of the Commanders' secondary in 2026.

Weaver is in concussion protocol after Thursday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Weaver presumably suffered the concussion during the Hall of Fame Game, and there's no word yet on when he'll be available again. In the meantime, rookie fifth-rounder Reggie Virgil and free-agent acquisition Devin Duvernay could get a bump up in the receiver rotation.
