The Cardinals waived Palmer on Monday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

A 2024 sixth-round pick, Palmer has appeared in just one regular-season game thus far in his career. If Palmer clears waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team as he looks to restart his career in a new setting.

The Browns waived Harden on Monday.

The undrafted free agent out of SMU was deemed expendable at a crowded position spearheaded by Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. If Harden is not claimed off waivers, he will become a free agent. The roster spot opened by the waiving of Harden was filled with the signing of defensive tackle Travis Bell.

Fant hurt his knee during practice Monday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The tight end took a hit, fell to the ground and needed some assistance to leave the field, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site. Fant's status will become more clear after an MRI, according to Watkins. The fourth-year pro is battling Luke Schoonmaker for the No. 3 tight-end role behind starter Jake Ferguson and backup Brevyn Spann-Ford.

Tuipulotu did not participate in team drills Monday due his ongoing negotiations on an extension, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

The outside linebacker continues to hold in as he seeks a contract extension following a stellar 13.0-sack tally over 16 regular-season games in 2025. While Tuipulotu remains off the practice field, rookie Akheem Mesidor continues to gain valuable first-team reps at edge. Even if Mesidor impresses with the additional opportunties, Tuipulotu doesn't figure to lose any leverage considering his upside and the fact fellow linebacker Khalil Mack may well be playing out his final season.

Manjack (back) participated in practice Monday, Jon Heath of Broncos Wire reports.

The wide receiver had to miss practice Saturday due to a back issue that was not seen as severe. Now that he has returned, the undrafted free-agent signing will have to work to make the team in a wide-receiver room led by Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle.

Lohner (lower body) does not yet have a return timeline, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Lohner underwent a procedure in early June to fix a lower-body issue, and it remains unclear how his recovery has progressed. The tight end was fighting for a roster spot as it is, and if he is unable to return to the field in a timely fashion, he will likely end up on the outside looking in come cutdown day.

Burks (foot) returned to Commanders practice Saturday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Burks missed Thursday's practice due to a sore foot, but he wasn't held out of action long. That's good news for the 2022 first-round draft pick, as he has an opportunity during training camp to compete for a major role in the offense. Antonio Williams and Luke McCaffrey are among the other players jostling for the No. 2 WR role behind Terry McLaurin in an unsettled Washington receiver corps.

Kamara (knee) reverted to the 49ers' injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports Kamara suffered a torn ACL. The undrafted free agent out of Indiana will now spend the duration of the 2026 season on IR unless he and the 49ers reach an injury settlement.

Locke (knee) is nearing a return to the practice field, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

The safety suffered a hyperextended knee during a training camp practice July 29, though he avoided a serious injury. Locke is lined up to serve as Dallas' third safety behind Malik Hooker and Jalen Thompson, and as long as he can return to the field sooner rather than later, he should have a good chance to cement that spot.

The Patriots activated Jennings (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings passed his physical and was able to return to practice Monday. The running back is competing with Lan Larison, Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery for the No. 3 running back role behind starters Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. A 2024 undrafted free agent out of Florida A&M, Jennings produced 23 rushes for 73 yards and one touchdown over seven regular-season games in 2025.
