Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that Sadiq suffered a setback in his recovery from the hernia surgery he underwent in the spring and will be "out for a little bit," Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Sadiq took part in the first three days of training camp, but after he wasn't present for a second straight practice Tuesday, Glenn said prior to the workout that the rookie first-round pick was on a "maintenance program," per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. However, Glenn acknowledged after practice that Sadiq's consecutive absences weren't simply for rest purposes, and the 21-year-old now looks like he'll be out for the start of the preseason after not bouncing back from his hernia surgery as well as the Jets had hoped. According to Rosenblatt, Glenn added that he's not worried about a long-term absence for Sadiq and is "very confident" that the young tight end will be ready to go for Week 1. In any event, the missed practice time during training camp is likely to hurt Sadiq's chances of carving out a major role on offense once the season gets underway. Mason Taylor should receive most of the reps at tight end with the first-team offense while Sadiq is sidelined.

Lemon missed Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that isn't expected to be a long-term concern, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

With DeVonta Smith also absent due to a seemingly minor hamstring injury, the Eagles have Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as their top healthy wide receivers. Reports from training camp suggest Lemon had been getting plenty of first-team work before the hamstring injury first impacted his availability Monday. After a limited practice to start the week, he seems to be sitting out entirely Tuesday morning.

Smith missed Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that isn't expected to be a long-term concern, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Fellow Eagles wideout Makai Lemon is also absent because of a hamstring injury. It's obviously not what fantasy managers want to hear, but the team reportedly isn't too concerned at this juncture. Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown should get plenty of first-team reps at training camp this week.

Browns head coach Todd Monken said Monday that Gabriel is on track to receive more reps in future practices after the second-year quarterback has had a strong start to training camp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. "It's up to the player to take advantage and maximize those reps, which I feel like Dillon has done... If that continues, we'll continue to up his reps. I mean, he's earned that."

Heading into camp, Monken had narrowed down the competition for the starting quarterback gig to Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. While Gabriel remains unlikely to factor into that job battle, the 25-year-old has done his part thus far to put himself in good standing to make the final roster as the No. 3 signal-caller. Cleveland invested a sixth-round pick on dual-threat quarterback Taylen Green in April, but Gabriel's productive start to camp could leave fewer reps with the second-team offense available to the rookie.

Lemon (undisclosed) isn't practicing Tuesday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Lemon didn't do team drills at Monday's practice and is now absent for the start of Tuesday's session. He's likely dealing with a minor injury, but neither player nor team has commented on the situation yet.

Williams received some reps with the Commanders' first-team offense during Tuesday's practice, Denton Day of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.

Though Day relays that Williams handled only a "sprinkling" of reps, the rookie third-round pick's usage with the starters is a promising development nonetheless. Given the lack of established personnel at receiver beyond top target Terry McLaurin, Williams should get plenty of chances during training camp and the preseason to stake a claim to the Commanders' top slot role. Luke McCaffrey would appear to represent Williams' top competition for that job.

Davis was able to check back into Tuesday's practice after briefly exiting with an apparent ankle injury, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Davis was slow to get up after getting tackled to the ground on a run during 11-on-11 drills, with team trainers coming out on the field to evaluate him before he was able to walk to the sideline under his own power. After a quick trip to the medical tent, Davis was back on the field, albeit with a taped-up ankle. His availability doesn't look like it will be much of a concern moving forward.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that Young won't play in Thursday's preseason opener versus the Cardinals, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Young is entrenched as the team's starting quarterback heading into his fourth NFL season, so he'll be in street clothes for the Hall of Fame Game along with several other key contributors while the Panthers open up more playing time for players competing for roster spots. Though Young showed growth as a third-year player in 2025 and helped lead the Panthers to an NFC South title, he's expected to enter the upcoming season without a long-term contract in place, per Reed. Instead, the Panthers appear content to see how the 2026 campaign plays out for Young before engaging in extension talks.

Dulcich is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley suggested that Dulich could return for next week's joint practices with the Commanders. It thus sounds like the tight end will miss the rest of this week, but he's still well on his way to a role as Miami's top pass catcher at his position. Dulcich does have a worrisome history of hamstring injuries, so it'll be worth a closer look if the current problem turns out to be related. For now, the Dolphins consider him day-to-day.

Robinson and the Falcons agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year extension worth up to $75 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Robinson's three-year pact includes $51 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. With a new deal in place, Robinson, who hadn't been participating in training camp practices, is slated to rejoin his teammates on the field. With Robinson's contract situation settled, attention now turns to fellow elite fantasy back Jahmyr Gibbs, who has been a training camp hold-in as he seeks an extension with the Lions.
