Banks (foot) is participating at the Vikings' training camp, Jason Harmon of Sports Illustrated reports.

Banks has been unable to partake in team activities to this point after fracturing his foot during the lead-up to the NFL Scouting Combine, so he'll probably be playing some catch-up off the bat. With that said, Minnesota spent the 18th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Banks, so the team will likely expect him to be able to contribute right away as long as he's available.

McLachlan (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the 49ers on Friday.

If McLachlan clears waivers, then he would revert to the Niners' injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless the two sides come to an injury settlement. The 2024 sixth-rounder has not seen regular-season action since his rookie campaign with the Bengals, when he played 22 snaps (five on offense, 17 on special teams) across two games without recording a stat otherwise.

The 49ers signed Irwin to a one-year contract Friday.

Both Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Christian Kirk (calf) are dealing with injuries, so the addition of Irwin gives the 49ers some added depth at wide receiver for training camp. Irwin spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Jets' practice squad after failing to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, and he's considered a longshot to crack San Francisco's roster for the 2026 campaign. He last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Bengals, when he logged three catches (on 10 targets) for 15 yards across seven games.

Deguara signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Friday.

Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers in the 2020 NFL Draft and has played for three different franchises across his six-year career. He appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2025, when he contributed mostly on special teams while logging three catches (on five targets) for 21 yards and a touchdown. Deguara gives the 49ers some extra depth at tight end while George Kittle continues to be sidelined by a torn right Achilles that he suffered in January.

Cooper (ankle) participated during the Packers' training camp practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Cooper had to leave practice earlier in the week, but he appeared to be good to go again Friday. He should play an enormous role at linebacker in 2026 after racking up 118 tackles (63 solo) over 16 regular-season games last year.

Delane (shoulder) is wearing a non-contact yellow jersey during training camp practices, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Delane was forced to miss multiple minicamp practices while tending to a shoulder injury that has lingered into training camp and limited the rookie first-rounder to non-contact drills. It's unclear whether the LSU product will be available to play in the preseason, with the Chiefs' first exhibition game taking place Saturday, Aug. 15, against the Rams. Delane is projected to start opposite L'Jarius Sneed at outside corner, with Kristian Fulton, Kaiir Elam and Nohl Williams providing depth at the position.

Campbell is ready to take on a larger role on defense in the second year of his NFL career, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.

Campbell, a first-round selection of the Eagles in the 2025 NFL Draft, saw his playing time fluctuate during his rookie campaign but still finished with 80 tackles (44 solo), three pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games (10 starts). Campbell gained eight pounds of muscle during the offseason, and the Alabama product is poised to step into a larger role in the scheme of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

Brown (hamstring) is participating at the 49ers' training camp, Ines Diaz of the team's official site reports.

Brown suffered a hamstring injury during San Francisco's win at Philadelphia in the wild-card round of the postseason back in January, but it seems like he's now back in football shape for training camp. He figures to again occupy one of the 49ers' starting spots at safety in 2026.

Elliott (knee) took first-team reps in Friday's practice after being held out of Thursday's session, Andrew Vasquez of USA Today reports.

Elliott was limited to just five regular-season games in 2025 due to a knee injury, with his last game taking place Week 8 against the Packers. He appears to be fully healthy for the start of training camp and projects to start alongside Jaquan Brisker at safety, with Darnell Savage providing depth at the position.

Simmons (elbow) is participating at the Titans' training camp, George Walker of the Kingsport Times News reports.

Simmons underwent surgery during the offseason to address an issue with his elbow, but it doesn't seem to be limiting him now that training camp has started up. He's coming off his first All-Pro season and figures to play a massive role on Tennessee's defensive line in 2026.
