Ehlinger will enter training camp in a competition for the starting quarterback role in Indianapolis, Raven Moore of the Colts' official site reports.

Ehlinger appeared in four games (three starts) last season, producing 573 passing yards and three touchdowns while throwing three interceptions. He enters camp as the third quarterback behind Gardner Minshew and first-round pick Anthony Richardson, making it highly unlikely that he'll emerge from the preseason atop the depth chart.

The Cardinals will place Murray (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday ahead of training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Cardinals continue to exercise caution with Murray, who hasn't yet participated in offseason practices while working his way back from surgery to address a right ACL tear suffered Dec. 12. As such, the quarterback's placement on the PUP list doesn't come as a surprise. Veteran Colt McCoy remains on hand as Arizona's likeliest option to start Week 1 under center, though Murray has expressed optimism about his chances of being available early in the regular season. Murray's placement on the PUP list means he will be eligible to practice and play in the preseason at any point, once healthy enough to do so.

The Chargers and Herbert agreed to terms on a five-year, $262.5 million extension Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Herbert's new deal means he's locked in through the 2029 campaign. Through his first three seasons, he's topped 5,000 passing yards on one occasion and 30-plus touchdowns two times, while also rushing for eight scores in 49 games. Herbert is the second-to-last domino to fall in the QB extension market this offseason, with Joe Burrow still yet to get his big payday from the Bengals.

Garbers was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday. Levi Damien of RaidersWire reports.

Garbers spent most of last season on the team's practice squad after going undrafted out of California. However, he did find his way to the active roster after Jarrett Stidham replaced Derek Carr at quarterback late in the season. He'll now need to earn an opportunity with another franchise.

Purdy (elbow) avoided the PUP list and is eligible to practice at the start of training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The decision suggests Purdy will at least be a limited participant Wednesday when the 49ers hold their first practice of camp. His recovery from UCL surgery in March seems to be progressing a bit faster than initially expected, with GM John Lynch saying Tuesday that Purdy has been "cleared, without restrictions," per David Lombardi of The Athletic. That doesn't necessarily mean Purdy will be a full participant from the jump, but it does suggest he's well on his way to suiting up for Week 1, quite possibly as the 49ers' starting quarterback. Trey Lance and Sam Darnold still figure to get some first-team reps this summer, as Purdy will be on a "pitch count" at first and then needs to convince the 49ers that his solid rookie season wasn't a fluke. Lynch's comments earlier this offseason suggest he's a believer, so all this makes Purdy the continued favorite to start Week 1.

Coach Josh McDaniels noted Tuesday that there are no restrictions on Garoppolo (foot) to start training camp, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

That said, McDaniels indicated that the Raiders would handle the QB as they would any player coming off an injury, which suggests that Garoppolo's practice reps will be managed to a degree in the coming weeks. The 31-year-old, who signed a three-year, $72.75 million deal with Las Vegas in March, is in line to take over as the team's starting signal-caller following the offseason release of Derek Carr. In the depth mix behind Garoppolo at the onset of training camp are Brian Hoyer, Aidan O'Connell and Chase Garbers.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Love may "potentially" see significant preseason reps this summer, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports. "There's a lot of things I'd like to see out of him," LaFleur said. "It's more or less just the process of becoming better each and every day and the command that he has."

LaFleur indicated that the plan is "fluid," as the Packers certainly don't want to risk a Love injury in meaningless preseason exhibitions as the Utah State product takes the reins of the offense from Aaron Rodgers. Love has attempted just 83 regular-season passes through his first three years in the NFL.

Richardson signed a four-year, $33.99 million contract with the Colts on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The deal is fully guaranteed and contains a $21.72 million signing bonus. Now that he's officially signed with Indianapolis, Richardson will report to training camp on time and won't be inhibited in the competition for the starting quarterback job. Head coach Shane Steichen has said he wants Richardson to learn by playing games, but how soon the rookie sees the field during the regular season will hinge on how quickly he picks up the offense in the preseason. Richardson and Gardner Minshew split first-team reps in spring practices and will likely continue to so in the early stages of camp.

Garoppolo (foot) passed his physical Sunday and is expected to be fully available for the start of training camp Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Garoppolo spent the offseason recovering from left foot surgery, and there were some concerns about his availability to start 2023. The Raiders included a clause in the three-year deal Garoppolo signed in March that would allow the team to terminate his contract if he failed a physical. However, that conversation can likely be put to rest when the veteran quarterback is back on the field this week. If healthy, Garoppolo figures to be the frontrunner for the starting gig, while veteran Brian Hoyer and rookie Aidan O'Connell compete for backup duties.

Garoppolo (foot) is expected to pass his physical Sunday and get fully cleared for the start of training camp Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Reports earlier in the spring surfaced indicating that despite signing Garoppolo to a three-year deal in March, the Raiders would be able to terminate his contract without any financial ramifications if he was unable to pass a physical while he recovers from left foot surgery. According to Fowler, Garoppolo has made strong progress since having the procedure in March, so he looks poised to get the green light from doctors to join the Raiders for the start of training camp. Assuming that's the case, Garoppolo should be locked in as Las Vegas' clear-cut starting signal-caller for 2023, as the Raiders didn't make any other additions to its quarterback room beyond journeyman 37-year-old Brian Hoyer and fourth-round rookie Aidan O'Connell, both of whom profile as backup options at the respective stages of their careers.
