Riley (groin) exited New Orleans' practice Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Riley suffered a groin injury, though its severity is currently unknown. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as one of the team's starting cornerbacks during the upcoming campaign, but TJ Hall and Martin Emerson could see increased playing time should Riley be forced to miss time during the regular season.

The Jets hosted Manning for a tryout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Manning was waived by the Broncos with an injury settlement in early June. The undrafted rookie is now fully healthy and ready to take another shot at the NFL. With Nahshon Wright (hip), VJ Payne (undisclosed), D'Angelo Ponds (calf), Qwan'tez Stiggers (concussion) and Mory Bamba (knee) all dealing with injuries, Manning may have a shot at some preseason reps with the Jets.

Banks (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to Tampa Bay's injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Banks went unclaimed on waivers after getting cut with an undisclosed injury Monday, and now he's bound to spend the entire 2026 campaign on the Buccaneers' injured reserve list. He was available for three games in 2025, playing exclusively on special teams.

Dedich (hand) is getting closer to a possible return, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Coach Sean McVay said that Dedich could put on a cast and participate in practice, but the overall go-ahead on any return will be determined by the training staff. The offensive lineman has not practiced since being placed on the active/non-football injury list in late July. Dedich could see limited participation very soon, which could significantly bolster the Rams' offensive line depth heading into the regular season.

The Ravens waived Robinson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Robinson joined the team as an undrafted free agent back in May but suffered an injury at some point during the summer. The 23-year-old could revert to Baltimore's injured reserve should he clear waivers.

The 49ers waived Henry (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Kyle A Madson of TheNinersWire reports.

Henry cleared waivers and reverted to the 49ers' injured reserve list last Thursday. The defensive end was set to spend the entirety of the 2026 season on IR but is now a free agent. The 27-year-old will be able to sign with another organization once he's healthy.

The Patriots signed Van Roten on Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, New England released tight end Mitch Van Vooren. Van Roten started at right guard for the Giants in 2025 and he suited up for all 17 of their regular-season games.

Johnson (suspension/ankle) underwent ankle surgery Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Johnson has a positive outlook and should be ready to play football right as his six-game regular-season suspension expires. The cornerback will miss the first six weeks of the regular season due to a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy, but should be able to resume being a depth option for the Titans' secondary shortly thereafter.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Williams (knee) is considered a "long shot" to play in Week 1 against the Rams, Dylan Grausz of NBC Sports reports.

Despite the relatively discouraging update, Shanahan did not completely rule out the possibility of Williams being back up to full speed by the start of the regular season. Like Williams, fellow edge rusher Nick Bosa is also recovering from an ACL tear suffered last year, and the 49ers have already seen multiple other injuries on the front seven, so there's a strong possibility they will have to call on some unlikely players to begin the new campaign.

Brown (undisclosed) reverted to Tennessee's injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown will remain with the Titans after having cleared waivers, albeit on injured reserve. The rookie undrafted free agent will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.
