Dedich was placed on the Rams' active/non-football injury list Sunday due to a hand injury he suffered around July 4, Brock Vierra of USA Today reports.
The full details of Dedich's injury are still unknown, and it's still not clear how long he's expected to be unavailable. Until he's healthy enough to get back into the mix, 2024 sixth-rounder Beaux Limmer could get more consideration as a depth option on the interior of the offensive line.

Riley continues to recover from a torn Achilles that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2025 regular season against the Ravens.

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

Until Ndubuisi can return to football activities, undrafted rookie free agent Josiah Green could see an uptick in practice reps on the interior of the defensive line.
