  • Ja'Markis Weston: Waived/injured by Seattle

    The Seahawks waived/injured Weston (undisclosed) on Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The second-year linebacker out of Florida played in three regular-season games for the Jets last season, accumulating 56 special teams snaps across the contests. If Weston clears waivers, he will revert to the Seahawks' injured reserve list with the undisclosed issue.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Avoids serious injury

    Worthy is believed to avoided a serious shoulder injury that he sustained during the final session of Saturday's training camp practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    It looks like Worthy's removal from Saturday's practice was precautionary, seeing as the third-year wideout underwent surgery in the offseason to repair a torn labrum that stemmed from a dislocated shoulder that he suffered during Week 1 of the 2025 season. Worthy will be closely monitored over the next several days but could be cleared to return to practice before the Chiefs' first preseason game against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15. Kansas City also got news regarding fifth-round rookie wideout Cyrus Allen, who is considered day-to-day due to a shin bruise that he suffered during a special-teams drill.

  • 49ers' Mikail Kamara: Leaves with knee issue

    Kamara (knee) was unable to finish Saturday's practice due to injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Kamara needed to be carted off the field due to the issue. The severity of the injury is unclear, but it seems the undrafted free agent out of Indiana has joined much of the 49ers' linebacker corps on the injury list. With the state of the corps, if any young players such as Kamara can recover quickly, they will have an inside track to climbing the depth chart.

  • Zion Childress DB | DAL

    Cowboys' Zion Childress: Absent with hamstring issue

    Childress (hamstring) is not participating in Saturday's practice session, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports

    Childress suffered a hamstring issue at some point during the first week of training camp. The second-year safety out of Kentucky participated in three regular-season games for the Texans last year, logging five offensive snaps and 28 special teams snaps over the contests.

  • Falcons' Matthew Bergeron: Signs four-year extension

    The Falcons signed Bergeron to a four-year $96 million contract extension Saturday, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.

    Bergeron is set to make $60 million in guaranteed money, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The left guard has started 49 regular-season games of a potential 51, and has been a model of consistency and production for the Falcons since being drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Bergeron is now locked up through 2030.

  • PJ Mustipher DT | ARI

    Cardinals' PJ Mustipher: Placed on injured reserve

    The Cardinals placed Mustipher (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Mustipher is officially done for the season due to the issue. The defensive tackle is coming off a career year and will be unable to maintain his reserve role with the team in 2026.

  • Jake Hansen LB | HOU

    Texans' Jake Hansen: Week-to-week with ankle issue

    Hansen (ankle) is considered week-to-week, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Hansen was carted off the field Thursday due to the issue, and it seems it will be an elongated recovery period for the 28-year-old. If the linebacker cannot sustain his standard of play once he returns, his special-teams snaps may be earned by other players such as rookies Wade Woodaz or Aiden Fisher.

  • Eagles' Jaeden Roberts: Suffers rough leg injury

    Roberts (leg) was carted off the field during Saturday's practice session, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    It appears Roberts suffered a significant injury to his left leg. The undrafted free agent out of Alabama will likely be waived/injured if the issue is as severe as it looks.

  • Eagles' Keyshawn James-Newby: Carted off field

    James-Newby (undisclosed) was carted off the practice field during Saturday's session, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    The rookie seventh-round pick out of New Mexico was taken straight to the medical tent with an unnamed issue. If the severity of the injury matches the precautionary measures, it is unlikely the weakside linebacker will be able to return to the field quickly.

  • Cole Wisniewski SAF | PHI

    Eagles' Cole Wisniewski: Absent with hamstring issue

    Wisniewski (hamstring) did not participate in Saturday's practice session, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    It is unclear when Wisniewski picked up the hamstring issue, but it does not help his case as the safety attempts to climb the depth chart. The rookie seventh-rounder was selected for his athleticism. At 6-foot-3, 219 pounds, Wisniewski is perfectly built to defend the run. The issue comes in NFL-level processing speed and consistency, and if the strong safety is absent from practice, he will be unable to develop or display those traits.
