Moore (neck) suited up for Monday's training camp practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Moore sustained a neck injury during Wednesday's joint practice against the Patriots, which prevented him from playing in Saturday's preseason contest against New England. His return to on-field action Monday is a positive sign in his recovery and puts the 2021 second-rounder on track to play against the Bengals in Friday's preseason finale. Moore is competing against Darius Cooper, Britain Covey (hamstring) and Quez Watkins for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster for the regular season.

Mims (undisclosed) practiced Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Mims didn't play in Friday's preseason game against the Packers, but he was on the field Monday, with Stevens' report accompanied by a clip of the wideout making a nice catch during the session. The Broncos' unofficial depth chart lists Mims as a first-teamer along with top WRs Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, but in reality as Week 1 approaches, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant also are firmly in the mix for snaps/targets that don't go to Sutton and Waddle.

King (hamstring) will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Texans, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

King suffered a hamstring injury in the Panthers' win over the Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 6. He played well in that contest, but given his lack of practice reps and the fact that he'll miss the last three preseason games, King's place on the 53-man roster by the end of training camp is far from guaranteed. Kenny Pickett is expected to be Bryce Young's backup this season, so if the Panthers choose to roster a third quarterback, then Kyle Trask would be King's competition for the QB3 role.

McCarthy (undisclosed) participated in Monday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

After losing out on the QB competition with Kyler Murray to begin training camp, McCarthy proceeded to get banged up in Saturday's 13-3 preseason loss to the Ravens, taking one sack while completing five of 10 passes for 81 yards. Seifert noted that McCarthy handled three reps in team drills Monday, which is a bit less than normal, but the Vikings held the session in shells and not pads, so the third-year pro likely still is dealing with the issue.

Pierce (hamstring) participated in Monday's training camp practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Pierce has been held out of practice the last two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to on-field work, putting him on track to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals. Pierce, Will Shipley and Carson Steele are battling for a depth spot in the Eagles' backfield, with Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby currently listed as the top running backs on the depth chart.

Johnson left Monday's practice due to an unspecified issue, Dan Benton of USA Today reports.

Per the report, Johnson went down while blocking and appeared visibly frustrated as he headed toward the locker room. Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, coach John Harbaugh noted that the tight end collided with teammate Kayvon Thibodeaux, and at this stage he thinks that Johnson will be okay.

Sweat (knee) was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Sweat opened training camp on the PUP list due to a knee injury, but he's well enough now to take part in practice. Arizona likely will ramp up his activity level over the next few weeks with the season opener on Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Chargers in mind. in 17 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign, Sweat racked up 12.0 sacks among his 30 tackles.

Benson (knee) was waived/injured by the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Benson has been in and out of practice throughout training camp due to lingering issues with his surgically repaired left knee that kept him sidelined after Week 4 last season. Arizona made two notable additions to its backfield this offseason in 2026 third overall pick Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier and still retains long-time starter James Conner (foot). Assuming Benson clears waivers Tuesday, he'll revert to injured reserve.

Estime (ankle) participated in practice Monday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Estime had missed some time due to an ankle injury, but the running back's return to Monday's walkthrough session will enable him to re-enter the depth equation in a New Orleans backfield that's dealing with several injuries. In seven regular-season games with the Saints last season, Estime carried 46 times for 198 yards and one touchdown, adding 12 catches for 102 yards.

Coach Dave Canales indicated that Waller is not expected to suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Texans, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.

Waller, who officially signed with the Panthers last Monday, didn't take part in the team's joint practice with the Jaguars on Wednesday and sat out Friday's ensuing preseason contest against the Jaguars. The tight end did see a couple of team reps in Monday's session, per Canales, but with the Panthers still easing Waller into the mix, it remains to be seen how much of a workload he'll see out of the gate this season.
