Robinson did not participate in Wednesday's training camp practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Robinson's absence from Atlanta's first training camp session appears to be related to his desire for a long-term deal with the team, rather than any sort of injury. Elsewhere, another superstar 2023 first-round running back in Jahmyr Gibbs is also not practicing for the Lions, seemingly due to a similar want for a multi-year deal. The Falcons exercised Robinson's fifth-year option for 2027 earlier this offseason, but there's no question that the star running back -- who totaled a career-best 2,298 yards from scrimmage in 2025 -- is underpaid relative to his true value. It remains to be seen whether Robinson's hold-in will extend beyond the early stages of training camp, but at this stage there have been no developments that should detract from his position as one of the clear top options in the first round of 2026 fantasy drafts.

Rodriguez (foot) is participating in Wednesday's training camp practice, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Rodriguez handled only individual work Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports, but the new Jacksonville running back has been cleared and will be ready for full-team drills after a ramp-up period. He missed OTAs and mandatory minicamp due to an offseason foot procedure. Once ready to take part in full-team reps, Rodriguez will compete for backfield touches alongside Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen.

Gibbs is not participating in Wednesday's training camp practice due to his desire for a contract extension, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Gibbs doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of injuries, but he nonetheless won't participate in Detroit's first training camp practice. The star running back had his fifth-year option picked up by the Lions, keeping him under contract through the 2027 for $14.3 million that year, but Gibbs' dynamic talents are certainly worth beyond the total salary of $3.2 million he carries for 2026. It remains to be seen whether Gibbs will stage a true hold-in that spans beyond the early portion of training camp. With the Detroit having replaced David Montgomery with Isiah Pacheco this offseason, Gibbs' role and ceiling are expected to grow in 2026.

Noel's placement on the active/non-football injury list is due to a finger injury that could cause him to miss a few weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio remarked that Noel could be back in a few weeks, though Wilson has reported that the second-year wideout's injury is short-term. It will be encouraging if Wilson is able to get back on the practice field at training camp sooner rather than later, given the opportunity he faces to secure the No. 3 receiver role behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. As long as Noel remains sidelined, Xavier Hutchinson, Lewis Bond and Justin Watson will benefit from increased reps. The same could be true of Tank Dell (knee), who will begin camp limited to side work but will ramp up to full-team reps.

Dell (knee) will be held out of full-team reps to open training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dell's limitations are no surprise, though it is encouraging that he was able to avoid the active/PUP list to kick off camp. Wilson reports that Dell will work on the side during Wednesday's practice and for the early portion of training camp. It remains to be seen when Dell will be cleared for full-team work, but the wideout's recovery from his multi-ligament knee injury continues to look encouraging.

Noel (undisclosed), who was placed on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, is dealing with a short-term issue, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Noel will seemingly be back at practice during the early stages of training camp, which is positive news as the 2025 third-rounder vies to secure the No. 3 wide receiver role in Houston. Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins appear solidified atop the depth chart, though Noel could have a chance so separate from Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell (knee), Lewis Bond and Justin Watson if he's able to impress during camp.

Atlanta cut Siemian (undisclosed) on Wednesday with a non-football injury designation.

Siemian would have faced a notable opportunity had he been healthy enough to open training camp on the practice field, as top quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (back tightness) and Michael Penix (ACL) are currently dealing with injury. Tagovailoa is expected to be cleared for team drills next week, but in the meantime undrafted rookie Jack Strand and new veteran signee Cooper Rush will handle a significant amount of reps on offense.

Klubnik (back) is participating in Wednesday's training camp practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Klubnik missed time during spring workouts due to back tightness, but he's now been cleared to resume practicing. The rookie fourth-round pick is competing with Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe to earn the No. 2 quarterback gig behind veteran starter Geno Smith.

Sadiq (abdomen) was present for practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The 2026 first-rounder missed OTAs and minicamp due to hernia surgery, but as expected Sadiq is ready for training camp. As a rookie, Sadiq -- who ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine -- has a chance to emerge as a key pass-catching option for QB Geno Smith while working in a TE corps that also includes 2025 second-rounder Mason Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert.

Hunter (knee) is participating in Wednesday's training camp session, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Hunter is taking his first individual reps on defense, Shipley reports. The 2025 first-rounder is likely to be eased in during the early portion of camp, as he's working his way back from season-ending LCL surgery, but there doesn't appear to be any concerns about his status for Week 1 at this stage. Hunter is expected to be utilized at both wide receiver and cornerback in 2026.
