Nick Bosa DE | SF
49ers' Nick Bosa: Progressing in ACL recovery
Bosa (ACL) is doing individual work on the side at the 49ers' training camp, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
Bosa apparently still isn't ready for team drills, but he continues to trend in a positive direction as training camp rolls on, drawing praise from teammate Trent Williams, per Wagoner. When healthy, he figures to be the key to a San Francisco plan to fix a pass rush that was among the worst in the league in 2025.

Cody Hardy TE | NO
Saints' Cody Hardy: Removed from NFI list
Hardy (illness) was removed from the Saints' active/non-football injury list Friday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hardy is now clear to participate in training camp practices and preseason games as he he looks to make a case for a spot on the Saints' 53-man roster for the 2026 season. He signed with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in late April following his final college season at North Carolina, when he mostly contributed as a run blocker and finished with six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns across five games.

Jets' Jalen Walthall: Reverts to injured reserve
Walthall (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Friday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction report.
Now that he's on injured reserve, Walthall will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Jets. Walthall joined the Jets on June 8 after being let go by the Texans four days prior. He spent the last two years of his college career with Incarnate Word but did not hear his name called during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Brenden Rice: Gets cut by Packers
Green Bay waived Rice (undisclosed) from its NFI list with a non-football injury designation Friday.
Rice was claimed off waivers by the Packers back in May, but he's now on track for free agency unless he's scooped up by a different club during the current waiver period. His last regular-season action came with the Chargers back in 2024, when he logged three offensive snaps over three games.

Felix Anudike-Uzomah DE | KC
Chiefs' Felix Anudike-Uzomah: Playing with first team at camp
Anudike-Uzomah is participating at the Chiefs' training camp, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Per Goldman, Anudike-Uzomah is standing out at camp so far and drawing praise from his head coach and defensive coordinator. He'll be competing with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas for a starting role on the edge opposite George Karlaftis in 2026.

Bilhal Kone CB | BAL
Ravens' Bilhal Kone: Cleared to return to practice
The Ravens removed Kone (knee) from the active/PUP list Friday after he passed his physical, Clifton Brown and Quentin Corpuel of the Ravens' official site reports.
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Kone was sidelined for his entire rookie year while recovering from a torn MCL and ACL that he sustained during the preseason. He's been cleared to participate in training camp practices, and the Western Michigan product's clearest path to a spot on the 53-man roster figures to be as a contributor on special teams rather than as a rotational piece in the Ravens' secondary.

Adisa Isaac LB | BAL
Ravens' Adisa Isaac: Passes physical, removed from PUP
Isaac (elbow) was removed from the active/PUP list Friday after passing a physical, Clifton Brown and Quentin Corpuel of the Ravens' official site report.
Isaac was sidelined for the entire 2025 season due to a dislocated elbow that he sustained during the preseason. The Penn State product has been cleared to participate in practice and will use training camp to make his case for a rotational role at edge rusher behind starters Trey Hendrickson and Tavius Robinson. Isaac appeared in just four regular-season games during his rookie year in 2024, finishing with four tackles (two solo) and one pass defense while contributing both on defense and special teams.

Alfred Collins DT | SF
49ers' Alfred Collins: Removed from PUP list
The 49ers activated Collins (shoulder) from the active/PUP list Friday after he passed a physical, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Collins was working through a shoulder injury during the offseason, but he's now healthy enough to participate in practices. The 2025 second-rounder played in 16 regular-season games in his rookie year, finishing with 17 tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Jourdan Lewis CB | JAC
Jaguars' Jourdan Lewis: Back at full strength
Lewis (foot) has been a full participant in training camp practices, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Lewis underwent season-ending foot surgery in late December, and his presence was missed in a big way for the Jaguars, especially in their loss to the Bills in the AFC wild-card round in January. The veteran corner worked on the side during minicamp but has fully participated in all practices to open training camp. Prior to his season-ending procedure, Lewis logged 39 tackles (21 solo), 10 pass defenses (including two interceptions) and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games in 2025.

Jermod McCoy CB | LV
Raiders' Jermod McCoy: Easing back into practice
McCoy (knee) is having his reps limited during the early portions of training camp, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
The rookie fourth-rounder is working his way back from a torn ACL that caused him to miss the entire 2025 college season at Tennessee. He's seen limited reps in the first few practices of training camp, and his practice participation will be worth monitoring ahead of the Raiders' preseason opener against the Cardinals on Thursday, Aug. 13. McCoy figures to operate in a rotational role in the secondary this season behind cornerbacks Darien Porter, Eric Stokes and Taron Johnson.
