  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Noah Brown: Easing into camp

    Brown (undisclosed) avoided the PUP list for the start of training camp but may not be a full participant early on, according to independent NFL writer Ben Standig.

    Brown was carted off the field June 11 at a minicamp practice. He was scheduled for an MRI, but the Commanders went on summer break right after and never provided any update on the nature or extent of Brown's injury. It sounds like he's on track for Week 1, with time to make his case this summer for the No. 3 WR role behind Terry McLaurin (who is holding out for a new contract) and Deebo Samuel.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Placed on PUP list

    The Texans placed Dell (knee) on the active/PUP list for the start of training camp, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Dell is unlikely to participate this summer, as he is coming back from MCL, LCL and ACL tears suffered Week 16 of last season. He'll likely miss a good chunk of the upcoming regular season, if not all of it. Dell had multiple surgeries this offseason, with the first in mid-January and the most recent in early March.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Ready for camp

    Nabes (toe) is expected to be a full participant in training camp, with Giants coach Brian Daboll saying Wednesday the wideout is "ready to go," Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Nabers crucially avoided the Giants' injury lists for the start of training camp after missing a number of spring practices due to an issue with his toe. The toe reportedly has bothered him at times since college, but he didn't miss any games when it popped up as a potential problem at the end of last season, instead putting up 235 receiving yards and three TDs over the final two weeks of a prolific rookie campaign.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Holdout becomes official

    The Commanders placed McLaurin on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    McLaurin declined to report Tuesday for the start of training camp, one week after saying it would be "kind of hard to see how I step on the field" without progress on a new contract. He's in the final season of a three-year, $68 million extension, after scoring 13 TDs in the 2024 regular season and three more in the playoffs. McLaurin will accrue $50,000 in non-rescindable fines for every day of training camp he misses during the contract dispute.

  • Jaelen Gill WR | CLE

    Jaelen Gill: Set loose by Cleveland

    The Browns waived Gill with a non-football injury designation Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Gill got his first pro contract with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in April 2024 but didn't make Los Angeles' roster. He then latched on with Cleveland's practice squad last December, though he didn't get into any games with the team. After re-signing with the Browns in June, Gill now will need to prove his health in order to get another opportunity elsewhere.

  • David Bell WR | CLE

    Browns' David Bell: Placed on active/NFI list

    The Browns moved Bell (hip/undisclosed) to the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Bell dislocated his right hip in mid-September last year and ended the campaign on IR. He didn't participate in OTAs while continuing to recover from the issue, but it's telling that he was placed on the NFI list -- which is used for players dealing with injuries not suffered in practices or games -- rather than the PUP list. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the issue that landed Bell on the NFI list isn't clear, and he may not be available for some time.

  • Raiders' Phillip Dorsett: Lands in Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Dorsett to a contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Dorsett previously signed with the Raiders in March of 2023, but he was unable to break camp with the club. The veteran wideout hasn't gotten into an NFL game since that 2023 campaign, when he played in two regular-season contests with Denver and didn't catch any of his three targets. Dorsett will now have a chance to compete for a depth role in the Raiders' receiver corps, though he'll likely need to make a good impression to nab a roster spot.

  • Key'Shawn Smith: Loses spot with Las Vegas

    The Raiders waived Smith on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Smith linked up with Las Vegas as an undrafted free agent in May, but he'll now need to seek work in a different organization. The 23-year-old spent his final two collegiate campaigns with SMU and recorded 33 catches for 527 yards with five touchdowns over 14 games last year.

  • Zakhari Franklin: Departs Vegas

    The Raiders waived Franklin on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Franklin signed with Las Vegas as an undrafted free agent in early May, but his time with the organization has come to an end for now. The 24-year-old logged 55 catches for 652 yards and four touchdowns with Illinois in his final collegiate season last year.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Declares himself fully healthy

    Hill (wrist) said Tuesday that he's fully healthy heading into training camp, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Hill added that he's been working out hard this offseason and has something to prove coming off a disappointing 2024 season. He's reportedly trimmed down to 183 pounds, and he claims he hasn't lost any of his trademark speed. Hill is entering his age-31 season and is coming off a year in which he failed to reach 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2019, despite starting all 17 regular-season contests for the Dolphins. Having Tua Tagovailoa back healthy will certainly help, but Hill's yards per game dropped dramatically from 2023 (112.4) to 2024 (career-low 56.4). The plus is that there will be plenty of volume available in a concentrated Miami passing offense that lacks reliable targets beyond Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De'Von Achane and potentially Darren Waller.
