  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Held out of practice Tuesday

    McMillan (calf) isn't practicing Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Laine, McMillan is wearing a compression sleeve on his left calf and was dealing with some soreness Monday, when he was also kept out of practice. It doesn't sound like the issue is a major concern, especially at this point in camp, but the Bucs are likely to play it safe with the wideout until he's able to shake the soreness. McMillan missed most of last year due to a neck injury, though he has a chance to move up to a bigger role in 2026 following the departure of Mike Evans to San Francisco.

  • Zech McPhearson: Works out for Indianapolis

    The Colts hosted McPhearson (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    McPhearson was with the Jaguars in training camp last year but was released from injured reserve in mid-August. The Texas Tech product last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with the Eagles, when he logged 14 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 games.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Taking passing-down snaps

    Kamara has been getting most of the third-downs snaps with the starters at training camp, according to Jeff Duncan of Nola.com.

    With Travis Etienne signed to be the team's lead runner, Kamara is left with passing downs as his obvious path to playing time, though he could also sub in for carries on early downs if he proves he still has gas in the tank. Last year, Kamara made 11 appearances and finished with career lows for both rushing yards per game (42.8) and receiving yards per game (16.9). The second number was barely more than half of his previous career low (16.9), but early signs suggest that coach Kellen Moore still thinks Kamara can contribute as a pass catcher. The 31-year-old reached an agreement with the Saints in July to alter his contract, with the result being a one-year, $6 million deal that includes $3.5 million guaranteed.

  • Saints' Travis Etienne: Ceding third-down work to Kamara?

    Etienne has taken most of the early down reps at training camp, with Alvin Kamara is getting more of the third-down snaps, according to Jeff Duncan of Nola.com.

    The workload split isn't surprising given Kamara's track record as a receiving weapon. We'll likely see a similar arrangement come Week 1, though it isn't yet clear if Kamara will also get some carries on early downs in relief of Etienne. The Saints signed Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract in March, while Kamara's recent renegotiation leaves him with what's essentially a one-year, $6 million contract ($3.5 million guaranteed), per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.

  • Jaguars' Trystan Colon: Retires from NFL

    The Jaguars placed Colon on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.

    Colon signed a one-year contract with the Jaguars in June, but he has opted to call it a career. He joined the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent and appeared in 63 regular-season games (19 starts) across six years between the Ravens, Cardinals and Lions.

  • Rene Konga DE | MIA

    Dolphins' Rene Konga: Done for 2026

    Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Tuesday that Konga (undisclosed) will miss the entire 2026 season, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

    The nature of Konga's injury has not been announced, but it's severe enough to sit out for all of 2026. Konga signed with the Dolphins in early May as an undrafted free agent.

  • Colts' Cameron Mitchell: Reverts to IR

    Mitchell (undisclosed) reverted to the Colts' reserve/injured list Tuesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction log.

    By reverting to the Colts' IR, Mitchell will be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Indianapolis. He appeared in 10 regular-season games between the Browns and Colts last year, and finished with 19 tackles (14 solo), four pass defenses and one forced fumble.

  • Isaiah Nwokobia SAF | CIN

    Isaiah Nwokobia: Reaches injury settlement

    The Bengals waived Nwokobia (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Nwokobia signed with the Bengals in early May as an undrafted free agent out of SMU. Assuming he clears waivers, Nwokobia will have the opportunity to catch on with another team once he's fully recovered from his unspecified injury.

  • Alijah Clark DB | DAL

    Cowboys' Alijah Clark: Exits practice with ankle injury

    Clark left Tuesday's training camp practice due to an ankle injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Clark sustained the injury while breaking up a pass during team drills in Tuesday's practice. He had to be helped off the field by training staff, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Clark is competing for a depth spot in the Cowboys' secondary, so an extended absence would hurt his chances of making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

  • Tyler Guyton OT | DAL

    Cowboys' Tyler Guyton: Dealing with sore elbow

    Guyton was limited in Tuesday's training camp practice due to a sore elbow, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Guyton was held out of team drills as a result of his sore elbow, but there's no indication that the injury is a long-term concern. He entered training camp in a competition for the starting left tackle role, but Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News relays that Guyton won the job over 2024 seventh-rounder Nathan Thomas.
