Shemar Turner DT | CHI
Bears' Shemar Turner: Lands on PUP to open camp
The Bears placed Turner (knee) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Turner tore his ACL during the Bears' Week 8 loss to the Ravens in late October. He'll be limited to sideline and rehab work for now, but once fully healthy, Turner will be eligible to participate in training camp practices and preseason games. The 2025 second-rounder figures to operate in a depth role on the Bears' defensive line behind Gervon Dexter and Grady Jarrett for the upcoming season.

Bears' Ozzy Trapilo: Placed on PUP list
The Bears placed Trapilo (knee) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Trapilo has spent the offseason recovering from a patellar injury that he suffered during the Bears NFC wild-card win over the Packers in January. Since he was placed on the active/PUP list, Trapilo will be eligible to participate in practice once he's fully recovered from his injury. He appeared in 14 regular-season games in 2025 and started in six of those contests.

Bears' Keyshaun Elliott: Opening camp on PUP
Elliott (undisclosed) was placed on the Bears' active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
The nature and severity of Elliott's injury isn't clear, but he'll be able to return to practice one he's fully recovered. He was selected by the Bears in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft and figures to contribute mostly on special teams while competing against Noah Sewell (Achilles) for depth snaps at linebacker behind T.J. Edwards (undisclosed).

John Stephens: Gets tryout with San Francisco
Stephens (undisclosed) worked out for the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

John Jenkins DT | BAL
Ravens' John Jenkins: Put on PUP list
The Ravens placed Jenkins (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
It's not clear what type of issue Jenkins is dealing with, but he's not ready to practice as training camp opens. However, he's eligible to be removed from the PUP list at any point once he's medically cleared. Jenkins started 14 of the 17 regular-season games in which he appeared last year, though a starting role in 2026 could depend on the health of Nnamdi Madubuike (neck).

Travis Jones DT | BAL
Ravens' Travis Jones: Managing pec injury
The Ravens placed Jones (pectoral) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
According to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now, Jones is recovering from a pectoral issue. It's not clear how serious the injury is, but since he's on the active/PUP list, he can return to practice at any point during the preseason once he's medically cleared. Jones is slated to be a starter along the defensive line for Baltimore after racking up career-high 5.0 sacks among a career-high 47 tackles over 16 regular-season games in 2025.

Nnamdi Madubuike DT | BAL
Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Opening camp on PUP list
Baltimore placed Madubuike (neck) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
Madubuike missed most of last season due to a neck injury, and he ultimately underwent surgery this April. As such, the veteran defensive tackle is not yet ready to practice. There's been optimism that Madubuike will be able to play in 2026, but a timeline for his return is hazy.

Teddye Buchanan LB | BAL
Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Sidelined to begin training camp
The Ravens placed Buchanan (knee-ACL) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
Buchanan tore the ACL in his right knee last December and is still working his way back from the injury. However, Brown notes that the linebacker has "attacked rehab aggressively" and "hopes to return in the near future," so he could be ready to go by Week 1 of the regular season. Buchanan had a strong rookie campaign last year, tallying 93 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, one defensed pass and one forced fumble over 14 regular-season contests (13 starts).

Noah Sewell LB | CHI
Bears' Noah Sewell: Beginning camp on PUP list
Chicago placed Sewell (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
This news doesn't come as a surprise, as Sewell is still working his way back from the torn Achilles he suffered in late December last year. It's not yet clear what the linebacker's timeline to return is, though he's expected to be able to get back on the field at some point this season. When healthy, Sewell is likely to have a role as a rotational linebacker while also contributing on special teams.

Kyler Gordon CB | CHI
Bears' Kyler Gordon: Lands on PUP list
The Bears placed Gordon (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Gordon isn't ready for the start of training camp due to another occurrence of a soft-tissue injury. Similar issues limited the standout cornerback to just three regular-season games in 2025, and he's played more than 14 contests in just one of his four NFL campaigns. With that said, Gordon's effectiveness when healthy means he'll be locked into a prominent role in the defensive backfield if he's able to shake the injury in time for Week 1.
