Green Bay waived Rice (undisclosed) from its NFI list with a non-football injury designation Friday.

Rice was claimed off waivers by the Packers back in May, but he's now on track for free agency unless he's scooped up by a different club during the current waiver period. His last regular-season action came with the Chargers back in 2024, when he logged three offensive snaps over three games.

Anudike-Uzomah is participating at the Chiefs' training camp, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Per Goldman, Anudike-Uzomah is standing out at camp so far and drawing praise from his head coach and defensive coordinator. He'll be competing with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas for a starting role on the edge opposite George Karlaftis in 2026.

The Ravens removed Kone (knee) from the active/PUP list Friday after he passed his physical, Clifton Brown and Quentin Corpuel of the Ravens' official site reports.

A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Kone was sidelined for his entire rookie year while recovering from a torn MCL and ACL that he sustained during the preseason. He's been cleared to participate in training camp practices, and the Western Michigan product's clearest path to a spot on the 53-man roster figures to be as a contributor on special teams rather than as a rotational piece in the Ravens' secondary.

Isaac (elbow) was removed from the active/PUP list Friday after passing a physical, Clifton Brown and Quentin Corpuel of the Ravens' official site report.

Isaac was sidelined for the entire 2025 season due to a dislocated elbow that he sustained during the preseason. The Penn State product has been cleared to participate in practice and will use training camp to make his case for a rotational role at edge rusher behind starters Trey Hendrickson and Tavius Robinson. Isaac appeared in just four regular-season games during his rookie year in 2024, finishing with four tackles (two solo) and one pass defense while contributing both on defense and special teams.

The 49ers activated Collins (shoulder) from the active/PUP list Friday after he passed a physical, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Collins was working through a shoulder injury during the offseason, but he's now healthy enough to participate in practices. The 2025 second-rounder played in 16 regular-season games in his rookie year, finishing with 17 tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Lewis (foot) has been a full participant in training camp practices, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Lewis underwent season-ending foot surgery in late December, and his presence was missed in a big way for the Jaguars, especially in their loss to the Bills in the AFC wild-card round in January. The veteran corner worked on the side during minicamp but has fully participated in all practices to open training camp. Prior to his season-ending procedure, Lewis logged 39 tackles (21 solo), 10 pass defenses (including two interceptions) and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games in 2025.

McCoy (knee) is having his reps limited during the early portions of training camp, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie fourth-rounder is working his way back from a torn ACL that caused him to miss the entire 2025 college season at Tennessee. He's seen limited reps in the first few practices of training camp, and his practice participation will be worth monitoring ahead of the Raiders' preseason opener against the Cardinals on Thursday, Aug. 13. McCoy figures to operate in a rotational role in the secondary this season behind cornerbacks Darien Porter, Eric Stokes and Taron Johnson.

Banks (foot) is participating at the Vikings' training camp, Jason Harmon of Sports Illustrated reports.

Banks has been unable to partake in team activities to this point after fracturing his foot during the lead-up to the NFL Scouting Combine, so he'll probably be playing some catch-up off the bat. With that said, Minnesota spent the 18th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Banks, so the team will likely expect him to be able to contribute right away as long as he's available.

McLachlan (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the 49ers on Friday.

If McLachlan clears waivers, then he would revert to the Niners' injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless the two sides come to an injury settlement. The 2024 sixth-rounder has not seen regular-season action since his rookie campaign with the Bengals, when he played 22 snaps (five on offense, 17 on special teams) across two games without recording a stat otherwise.

The 49ers signed Irwin to a one-year contract Friday.

Both Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Christian Kirk (calf) are dealing with injuries, so the addition of Irwin gives the 49ers some added depth at wide receiver for training camp. Irwin spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Jets' practice squad after failing to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, and he's considered a longshot to crack San Francisco's roster for the 2026 campaign. He last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Bengals, when he logged three catches (on 10 targets) for 15 yards across seven games.
