The Chiefs placed (Downs) knee on injured reserve Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Downs' season is over after he tore his ACL during Tuesday's practice session. The 23-year-old will now shift his focus to getting healthy, and he will look to make his NFL debut during the 2027 campaign.

Green Bay placed Orzech (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Orzech will be eligible to return to practice once fully healthy, though the nature of his injury is not clear. He has served as the Packers' long snapper for each of the last three years.

The Packers placed Banks (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

It's unclear what type of injury Banks is working through, but he'll be held out of practice until he's fully recovered from the issue and is activated from the PUP list. He appeared in two regular-season games for the Packers in 2025 and signed a futures deal with the organization in January.

The Giants activated Roberts (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Roberts is healthy again after undergoing surgery earlier in the offseason. The 28-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Giants back in March and will now spend the remainder of the offseason competing for a depth spot along the defensive line.

Lucas (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the Buccaneers' active/PUP list, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

The exact nature of Lucas' injury is unclear at this point, and there's no timetable for his return to practice. As long as he remains unavailable, it could mean extra chances for Kemon Hall to try to make an impression as a depth option in the secondary.

The Buccaneers waived Conley (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation and an injury waiver Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Conley is headed to waivers after having signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent back in May. The 25-year-old could end up reverting to the team's injured reserve should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Lions placed Mahogany (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

It's unclear what the injury is, when Mahogany picked it up and how severe it is. He'll be eligible to participate in practice once he's fully recovered from it, but in his absence, the likes of Juice Scruggs, Miles Frazier and Ben Bartch will have the chance to work with the first-team offense at left guard.

The Saints waived Bishop (suspension) on Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Bishop was issued a suspension for the first three games of the 2026 regular season for a violation of the NFL's substances of abuse policy back in March, and now he's on his way out of New Orleans. He'll become an unrestricted free agent unless he's claimed by another club during the current waiver period.

The Lions placed Izien on the active/non-football illness list Tuesday.

It's unclear how severe of an illness Izien is dealing with, but he'll be eligible to participate in practice once he has fully recovered from his ailment. Izien signed a one-year contract with the Lions in March after spending the first three years of his NFL career with the Buccaneers, where he mostly operated on special teams while occasionally working in the secondary in 2025. He finished last year with 25 tackles (16 solo) and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games.

Hill underwent a procedure to address a wrist ligament injury during the offseason, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Per Wilson, Hill was able to continue training and practicing while wearing a cast, but it's not fully clear whether he'll be ready to suit up come Week 1 of the regular season. Any reps he misses could mean extra attention for offseason trade acquisition Marte Mapu.
