The Bears placed Garvin (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Garvin hasn't appeared in a regular-season NFL game since 2022 and will now either spend the entire 2026 campaign on the Bears' injured-reserve list or be cut with an injury settlement at a later date. Across 38 career regular-season contests, Garvin has 32 tackles (17 solo), including 1.5 sacks.

The Texans signed Washington on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Washington takes the roster spot of DJ Turner, who was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed ailment in a corresponding move. Washington appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Broncos during the 2022 season, catching four of nine targets for two yards while rushing five times for 30 yards.

The Steelers signed Keeney-James on Tuesday.

Keeney-James signed with the Lions as an undrafted rookie last year and appeared in one regular-season game with the Packers last season, securing both of his targets for 15 scoreless yards. He'll try to win one of the final receiver spots in Pittsburgh this summer.

The Steelers waived Burgess (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday.

Burgess will be placed on injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 26-year-old has never appeared in a regular-season NFL contest.

Concepcion (shoulder) was spotted in pads during the early stages of Tuesday's practice, Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It remains to be seen if Concepcion is deemed a full participant in the practice, but it's a good sign to see the wideout out there a day after he landed hard on his right shoulder. While coach Todd Monken previously noted that the wideout was "still sore" in the wake of Monday's session, Concepcion's presence on the field Tuesday supports the notion that he was able to avoid a concerning injury.

Atwell has separated himself as a top three receiver with the Dolphins this offseason, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Veterans Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington and Atwell appear to have the early leg up on rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman while Chris Bell (knee) remains on the active/NFI list. Jalen Reagor, Tahj Washington and Theo Wease are other contenders in the competition for snaps at receiver in Miami, and this is expected to be a position battle that spans the duration of the season for a rebuilding Dolphins team. It remains to be seen if any of these receivers will be fantasy options in 2026.

Sanders exited Tuesday's practice with an ankle injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The injuries continue to pile up for Carolina, though there hasn't been any indication Sanders is dealing with a long-term problem. Sanders has appeared in 29 regular-season contests across his first two campaigns and has produced 62 catches for 532 yards and two touchdowns on 77 targets. He's again expected to see snaps in the Panthers' three-man tight end committee that also involves Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tagovailoa (back) will be "limited" at Tuesday's practice, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Tagovailoa has been working through back tightness in the early stages of training camp, and after resuming 11-on-11 work Monday, he'll take a step back one day later. Meanwhile, fellow QB Michael Penix continues to rehab the torn ACL that ended his second campaign in Week 11 of last season. The Falcons' first preseason game occurs Friday, Aug. 14 against the Broncos, so Tagovailoa still has more than a week to put himself in a position for his debut with the team.

Kevin Bowen of 1075thefan.com notes that he continues to be impressed by what McGowan is showing at running back thus far in training camp.

At this stage, McGowan, whom the Colts took in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL, is competing with DJ Giddens for slotting behind undisputed top back Jonathan Taylor. While the player who emerges as the team's No. 2 backfield option will hold limited fantasy lineup appeal as long as Taylor is healthy, his backup situation is worth monitoring ahead of Week 1 in the event Taylor misses time this season for any reason.

Gardner (calf) missed practice Tuesday due to an illness, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

The Colts' top cornerback has also been dealing with a calf issue during camp after initially sustaining a calf strain in Week 13 of last season. He ended up missing the following three games and four of the last five contests to close out the 2025 regular season. The Colts are banking on the soon-to-be 25-year-old to key their secondary this season.
