  • Eric Gray RB | NYG

    Giants' Eric Gray: Begins camp on PUP list

    The Giants placed Gray (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    It's not clear what issue has caused Gray to not be ready for the start of training camp, but it will be important for him to get back on the field quickly since he's not a lock for a roster spot. Gray can be activated from the PUP list and begin practicing as soon as he passes a physical.

  • Lew Nichols RB | PIT

    Lew Nichols: Cut by Philly

    The Eagles waived Nichols on Tuesday.

    Nicholas was cut in order to make room for the signing of veteran edge rusher Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. Nichols, who'll turn 24 next month, has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Looking healthy at start of camp

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that McCaffrey is "here and healthy" for the start of 49ers training camp, but the running back's workload will be managed in advance of the regular season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    After a 2024 season in which he missed 13 games due to Achilles tendinitis in both legs and a PCL sprain in his right knee, McCaffrey didn't have any restrictions during the offseason program and appears to be back to his normal self as camp kicks off. FB Kyle Juszczyk spoke highly of the 29-year-old McCaffrey two weekends ago at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, telling Vic Tafur of The Athletic, "Christian is arguably the best player in the NFL. He was the offensive player of the year two years ago. ... He looks so healthy, he looks so explosive." McCaffrey mustered just 348 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns on 65 touches in his four appearances last season, but in the aforementioned, award-winning 2023 campaign, he put up 2,023 total yards and 21 TDs in 16 regular-season games.

  • Ian Wheeler RB | NO

    Bears' Ian Wheeler: Activated from NFI

    The Bears activated Wheeler (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

    Wheeler signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Howard following the 2024 NFL Draft and then suffered a knee injury in last summer's preseason finale. He spent the season on injured reserve but will now compete for a job behind D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson and rookie Kyle Monangai in the backfield.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Bengals' Zack Moss: Placed on NFI list

    The Bengals placed Moss (neck) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

    Moss was able to take the field during the Bengals' OTAs, but as Ben Baby of ESPN.com notes, the running back is bouncing back from a season-ending neck injury. Once he's ready to resume practice, Moss can be activated from the NFL list, but for now Samaje Perine, Tahj Brooks, Gary Brightwell, Kendall Milton and Quali Conley are available to compete for slotting behind top back Chase Brown.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Wants to create more big plays

    Robinson recently said one of his goals this season is to create more explosive runs, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Robinson averaged an impressive 4.8 yards per carry last season, but he produced just one run of longer than 30 yards. According to Ledbetter, 31 players had multiple runs of 30-plus yards last season, and seven different players had five or more. Robinson had just 12 of his 304 carries produce 15-plus yards, as he was one of the running backs least reliant on big plays. He wants to change that heading into his third season. Robinson is a consensus top-five fantasy pick ahead of training camps.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Valued as veteran presence

    Singletary is likely to remain on the Giants' roster despite Tyrone Tracy's role as the primary ball carrier and the addition of Cam Skattebo in the 2025 NFL Draft, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Tracy and Skattebo provide promise as a young and talented one-two punch, which could lead to Singletary taking on a reduced role in New York's offense. However, the veteran still appears to be a lock for the roster, both because his experience is valued on and off the field and, perhaps more importantly, because the Giants wouldn't gain any cap savings if they were to release him. After signing a three-year, $16.5 million contract with New York in March of 2024, Singletary ceded lead ball-carrying duties to Tracy over the course of last year and averaged just 3.9 YPC over 113 rushes across 15 contests, adding 21 receptions on 24 targets for 119 yards.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Texans' Joe Mixon: Limited reps early in camp

    Mixon, who is progressing well in his recovery from an ankle injury, is likely to be eased back into the mix in training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Mixon sported a walking boot this spring after getting hurt during individual offseason training, but since then the running back has regained his mobility while ramping up his workouts. Though he could be limited to a degree early on in training camp, when 100 percent healthy he's in line to maintain his status as the top option in a Houston backfield that added Nick Chubb this offseason and returns Dameon Pierce.

  • Michael Wiley: Cut by Washington

    The Commanders waived Wiley with a non-football injury designation Tuesday.

    Wiley signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona last year but spent the 2024 campaign on the practice squad in Washington. He'll revert to the reserve/non-football injury list if he clears waivers.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Not worried about O-line losses

    Montgomery recently said he has "no concern" about Detroit's offensive line changes and is confident in new offensive coordinator John Morton.

    The Lions lost center Frank Ragnow to retirement and right guard Kevin Zeitler to the Titans, leaving a training camp competition between rookie second-round pick Tate Ratledge, 2024 sixth-rounder Christian Mahogany and 27-year-old Trystan Colon, among others, for the two open spots. Morton, who was Detroit's passing-game coordinator the last two years under former OC Ben Johnson, still has an elite tackle duo and one of the best groups of skill-position players in the league at his disposal. There's always some chance the new play-caller gives Jahmyr Gibbs a few more snaps and touches at Montgomery's expense, but wholesale changes are unlikely after the Lions scored a league-high 33.2 points per game last season.
