Jaylen Johnson WR | LAC
Chargers' Jaylen Johnson: Back in action
Johnson (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Johnson will return to practice after opening training camp on the sidelines with an undisclosed injury. The wide receiver will look to make a good impression with Los Angeles in the coming weeks in an attempt to secure a spot on the team's 53-man roster in 2025.

Jeremiah Webb WR | NE
Patriots' Jeremiah Webb: Not ready to practice
The Patriots placed Webb (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Webb joined New England as an undrafted free agent in late April and is a longshot to make the team's season-opening roster. As such, it will be important for him to be medically cleared to play relatively soon. Webb can be activated from the NFI list and begin practicing as soon as he passes a physical.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Lands on PUP list
The Patriots placed Hollins (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
It's not clear what type of injury Hollins is dealing with, but he won't be practicing to begin camp. However, he's eligible to come off the PUP list and begin practicing as soon as he's medically cleared. Hollins signed a two-year deal with New England in March and is expected to compete for targets with the likes of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, when healthy.

Irvin Charles WR | NYJ
Jets' Irvin Charles: Ends up on active/PUP list
Charles (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Jets on Saturday.
The wide receiver and special teamer tore his ACL in Week 14 of the 2024 campaign and ended the season on injured reserve. It remains unclear if he'll be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign, though he can return from the PUP list once he's ready to practice. Charles has played on more than 200 special-teams snaps in each of his two seasons with the Jets.

Jahdae Walker WR | CHI
Bears' Jahdae Walker: Lands on active/NFI list
Walker (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Bears on Saturday.
Once Walker is ready to resume practicing, he can return from the active/NFI list at any time during training camp and the preseason. The wide receiver signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent in April after catching 29 passes for 345 yards and two touchdowns in his final season at Texas A&M. He likely faces an uphill climb to make the Bears' roster.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Officially on active/PUP list
The Packers placed Watson (knee) on the active/PUP list Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.
This move is merely procedural as Watson continues his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in his right knee Week 18 of last season. Considering he's only a bit more than six months removed from the injury, he seems hard-pressed to progress enough to be available Week 1 against the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7, but coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today in early May that Watson "looks like a freak, like he always does. In a positive way." Watson's status will be monitored as the Packers embark on training camp and the preseason, but cut-down day on Aug. 26 will be of keen interst to see if the team moves him to the reserve/PUP list, which would require him to miss the first four games of the upcoming campaign.

Luther Burden III WR | CHI
Bears' Luther Burden: Signs fully guaranteed rookie deal
Burden (undisclosed) signed a fully guaranteed four-year, $10.965 million rookie contract with the Bears on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Burden followed in the footsteps of fellow rookie second-round wide receiver Jayden Higgins in signing a fully guaranteed rookie contract, becoming the first-ever 39th overall pick to land a fully guaranteed deal. Burden didn't participate in mandatory minicamp due to a soft-tissue injury, but head coach Ben Johnson said in June that he expected Burden to be ready for training camp. With Burden's rookie contract signed, he's set to report to training camp along with the rest of the Bears' rookies Saturday.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Placed on active/PUP list Friday
Pearsall (hamstring) was placed on the active/PUP list by the 49ers on Friday.
San Francisco will begin training camp shorthanded at wide receiver, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was also placed on the active/PUP list Friday, while Jauan Jennings (calf) is seeking a new contract. Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the team's top healthy options at wide receiver heading into training camp, though Pearsall could join them soon, as head coach Kyle Shanahan said in June that Pearsall's injury wasn't viewed as a significant concern.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Moved to active/PUP list Friday
Aiyuk (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the 49ers on Friday.
Aiyuk is eligible to practice while on the active/PUP list, though he isn't expected to be available for training camp as he recovers from a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee sustained in October. Fellow wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) was also placed on the active/PUP list Friday, though he's expected to have a much more optimistic recovery timeline than Aiyuk. With Jauan Jennings (calf) unhappy with his contract, there will be more opportunities for Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins during training camp.
