Falcons' Bralen Trice: Back from knee injury
Trice (knee) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of BigNewsNetwork.com reports.
Trice, a 2024 third-round pick from Washington, has yet to make his NFL debut due to a knee injury sustained during the 2024 preseason. However, he was spotted participating in the full 11-on-11 periods of practice, suggesting he's now moved past the issue. Expect Trice to compete for a reserve role in Atlanta's edge-rush corps ahead of the 2026 season.

Jeffery Simmons DT | TEN
Titans' Jeffery Simmons: Undergoes elbow surgery
Simmons confirmed he underwent an elbow procedure during the offseason, Easton Freeze of AtoZSports.com reports.
Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Wednesday that Simmons is "dealing with a couple of things," when asked about the defensive tackle's health, leaving his timeline for a return uncertain. Despite dealing with an elbow issue during the 2025 season, Simmons was still incredibly productive, posting 67 total tackles, including 11.0 sacks, three passes defensed and three forced fumbles across 15 contests. Once fully healthy, he's expected to remain one of the NFL's most dominant interior defensive linemen.

Broncos' Nik Bonitto: Participating in minicamp
Bonnito (wrist) was pictured on the practice field at minicamp on Tuesday, Gabriel Christus of the Broncos' official site reports.
Bonitto underwent a clean-up procedure on his wrist in early February, but it doesn't appear that the star pass rusher is facing any practice restrictions at mandatory minicamp. The 26-year-old has suited up for all 17 regular-season games in back-to-back years and totaled 27.5 sacks in that span.

Titans' Oluwafemi Oladejo: Not practicing at minicamp
Oladejo (lower leg) is not practicing at mandatory minicamp, Xavier Board of the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Titans coach Robert Saleh confirmed Wednesday that Oladejo's absence is due to injury, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. The 2025 second-round pick may still be recovering from the season-ending right leg fracture he suffered last October, though he was designated for a return to practice in mid-December. It remains to be seen whether Oladejo will be cleared for the start of training camp in July.

Trevor Siemian QB | ATL
Falcons' Trevor Siemian: Back for training camp
Siemian (undisclosed) won't practice Wednesday but will return for training camp, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
It appears Siemian avoided a serious injury, as the Northwestern product is now expected to return for training camp. The 34-year-old's last in-game action came with the Jets in 2023, when he appeared in five contests and threw for 724 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. Once fully healthy, he's expected to compete for a role that could lead to him being Atlanta's emergency third quarterback most gamedays.

Kendrick Law WR | DET
Lions' Kendrick Law: Shifts to IR
The Lions placed Law (knee) on the reserve/injured list Wednesday.
Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters in early June that Law tore his ACL during practice, so his move to IR comes as no surprise. Law, a 2026 fifth-round pick from Kentucky, appeared in 12 games during his final collegiate season, catching 53 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns. In related moves, Detroit signed wideouts Tay Martin, Tarik Black and Lucky Jackson.
