Houston (back) is participating in training camp, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The linebacker was limited with a back issue during the Cowboys' minicamp in June. Houston played in all 17 regular-season games for Dallas in 2025, recording 35 tackles (18 solo), including 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He is lined up to play a role again in 2026.

Douglas has had some impressive moments during training camp but has been inconsistent so far, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Douglas has a prime opportunity to secure a prominent role among a Miami receiving corps that parted ways with both Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) during the offseason. Head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday that he's been "impressed" by Douglas but also indicated that the rookie wideout has "a ways to go for what we expect of him." After being drafted in the third round of April's NFL Draft, Douglas has naturally received high expectations, and he landed in a great spot in terms of opportunity, as the Dolphins don't have a clear top WR in a group that also includes Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell near the top of the potential pecking order.

The Packers activated Banks (hamstring) off the active/PUP list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Banks passed his physical and is all set to resume training camp activities at full participation. The offensive tackle was placed on the active/PUP list last Tuesday due to a hamstring issue, but it it wasn't severe enough to keep the 26-year-old out for more than a handful of practices.

Ponds (calf) is not yet healthy enough to return to the practice field, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The rookie cornerback strained his calf in late July during a training camp practice, but Jets coach Aaron Glenn said then that the injury wasn't serious, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Glenn told reporters Monday that Ponds should be back soon, per Rosenblatt. The second-round pick is expected to play a major role in New York's secondary.

The Ravens activated Jenkins (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jenkins passed his physical and is all set to return to training camp activities in full capacity. The starting defensive lineman could be primed for a productive year considering the return of Nnamdi Madubuike and the addition of Trey Hendrickson on the edge should draw plenty of blockers and leave Jenkins in his fair share of one-on-one matchups.

Ossai (undisclosed) is unlikely to return to practice this week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The defensive end was moved to the active/PUP list in late July due to a minor injury. Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Ossai should come back soon, per Rosenblatt. The former Bengal signed a three-year, $36-million free-agent deal with New York in March and should play a significant role once he returns.

Hawkins (undisclosed) reverted to the Commanders' injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Hawkins was waived by the Commanders on Sunday and went unclaimed. The cornerback is now set to miss the entire 2026 NFL season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Snowden (undisclosed) reverted to the Cowboys' injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Snowden was waived by the Cowboys on Sunday and went unclaimed, so he will spend the entirety of the 2026 season on IR. The defensive end is set to serve a three-game suspension, which will be fulfilled if he remains on the team's roster and is not waived with an injury settlement.

Sweat (hamstring) is unlikely to return to the practice field this week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The defensive tackle was placed on the active/non-football injury list in late July, though his hamstring issue was not considered to be serious. Jets coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Sweat should be back soon, per Rosenblatt. The former Titan is expected to start on New York's defensive line after recording 34 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in 12 regular-season games last season.

Morris (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Morris reportedly suffered the hamstring injury during Saturday's practice, and it is unclear when the offensive lineman will be able to return to the field. The sixth-round rookie had begun to make his case for a depth spot on the 53-man roster, but if he cannot return to practice in a timely fashion, it is unclear if he will survive cutdown day.
