Tillman (undisclosed) did not participate at the Browns practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Tillman was unable to practice for a second straight day as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old is battling for his spot as a top reserve option in the wide receiver room with Cleveland this season, and his status for Saturday's preseason contest against the Bills may now be coming into question.

Conner was waived by the Jaguars on Monday.

The tight end signed with the Jaguars in April as an undrafted free agent after three collegiate seasons at Troy. Conner caught 31 passes for 397 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in his final college season last year, and he faced an uphill battle to make Jacksonville's 53-man roster.

The Seahawks waived Harden on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Harden joined the Seahawks on Aug. 5, two days after being let go by the Browns. He played in Seattle's preseason opener against Dallas on Saturday, when he logged 12 snaps (nine on offense, three on special teams) and turned two carries into one yard while recovering a fumble on a punt. Harden -- an undrafted rookie out of SMU -- will look to catch on with a team in need of a running back who can also contribute on special teams.

Hicks and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hicks has spent the entirety of the offseason as a free agent, but he has now found an opportunity before the end of the preseason. The wide receiver will look to make his preseason debut with Seattle on Sunday night against the Titans.

Ali has an undisclosed injury that forced him to miss the Ravens' preseason opener Saturday against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The running back also had to sit for most of the practice week leading up to that contest, per Hensley. Ali recorded 763 kickoff-return yards in 2025, and if he can return soon enough, he should be in line to play a similar role this season. The fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft remains third on the running back depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Hankerson and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hankerson was let go by the Dolphins on Aug. 10, and after clearing waivers, he has now found a new home with Seattle. The running back will have a chance to play in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Titans.

Schwesinger (ankle) could return to practice next week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Schwesinger hasn't practiced since July 31 while nursing an ankle injury, but head coach Todd Monken noted Monday the team is being "overly cautious" with the linebacker. Monken said the hope is Schwesinger will return to practice next week. It doesn't appear the 23-year-old is at risk of missing any regular-season action with the injury.

The Vikings placed Adams (quad) on injured reserve Monday.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell informed reporters Monday that Adams suffered a right quad tendon tear during the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants on Saturday. It's a brutal blow for the 30-year-old veteran, who joined the Vikings in late July and shifted from a secondary position to linebacker to bolster the defense led by coordinator Brian Flores. Adams will turn his focus toward rehab and recovery with an aim to be fully healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Smith (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's training camp practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Smith was spotted wearing a sleeve on his lower leg and was limping slightly at times during Monday's practice. Still, it was a positive sign from the veteran quarterback, who did not play in the Jets' preseason opener against the Buccaneers this past Friday due to left ankle soreness. It remains to be seen whether Smith and the other starters will play in the Jets' next preseason game, which takes place this Friday on the road against the Steelers.

The Giants signed Haener to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Haener worked out for the Giants in late July after he was let go by the Chiefs in early May. He'll now have the opportunity to compete against Brandon Allen for the QB3 job over the last couple of weeks of training camp. Haener last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Saints, when he appeared in eight games (one start) and completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning 11 carries into 22 yards.
