The Packers traded Clark and two first-round picks to the Cowboys for pass rusher Micah Parsons on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Clark will be the first piece of the puzzle in the return for Parsons, who agreed to a four-year, $188 million extension to move to Green Bay. As for Clark, he'll help fortify the interior of Dallas' defensive line, having recorded at least 37 tackles and 1.0 sacks in each of the last eight campaigns.

The Texans signed Kelly to the practice squad Thursday.

Kelly was unable to crack the Cowboys' 53-man roster, but he'll stay in-state with the Texans on the team's practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Texas Tech finished the preseason with two catches (on six targets) for 25 yards across 68 offensive snaps in three games.

The Falcons placed Trice (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Thursday that Trice aggravated the same knee that kept him sidelined for the entire 2024 season. While there's hope that Trice can return after the Week 5 bye, Morris noted that a procedure on the knee might be needed, and that decision will be discussed over the coming days, per McElhaney.

The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The ongoing saga this summer between Parsons and the Cowboys finally has reached its conclusion, with the pass rusher agreeing to a four-year, $188 million extension to take his talents to Green Bay. He's one of only two players in NFL history to rack up 12.0 sacks in each of his first four seasons as a pro, the other being former Packer Reggie White.

The Falcons signed Fuller to a contract Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Fuller was included in the Falcons' roster cuts Tuesday, but the veteran free agent will end up returning to Atlanta and is expected to serve in a rotational role at safety behind starters Jessie Bates and 2025 third-rounder Xavier Watts. Fuller was limited to nine regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024 due to multiple injuries and finished the campaign with 54 tackles (28 solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble.

Davis (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice and could be available for the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Davis missed most of training camp due to an ankle injury that he suffered in late July. His return to practice Thursday is a positive sign for the 2020 third-rounder, and his participation over the next week will indicate his chances of playing in Week 1. Davis split his time between defense and special teams over the last two seasons with the Jets, but he's projected to start at safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick in 2025. Ifeatu Melifonwu and Elijah Campbell would be the top candidates to slide into a starting role if Davis is unavailable for Week 1.

Parsons is being traded to Green Bay from Dallas and has agreed to terms with the Packers on a four-year, $188 million dollar contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Parsons gets a massive new extension and becomes the immediate leader of Green Bay's pass rush, in a deal done just over one week in advance of the Packers' regular-season opener against Detroit. The three-time All-Pro will provide an immediate boost to his new team, and the full details regarding Dallas' trade compensation will follow shortly.

The Cowboys are seven-point underdogs against the Eagles in Week 1, while the Packers are one and a half-point favorites against the Vikings at online sports betting sites.

The Dolphins signed Hasty to the practice squad Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Hasty was unable to crack the Patriots' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll remain in the AFC East with the Dolphins' practice squad. With Jaylen Wright (leg) expected to miss multiple weeks, Hasty and Jeff Wilson are candidates to be called up to the active roster for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7. Hasty appeared in 15 regular-season games for New England in 2024 and logged 20 carries for 69 yards while adding 10 catches (on 12 targets) for 59 yards and at touchdown.

As Week 1 approaches, Chad Graff of The Athletic notes that Hollins is a candidate to log early-season reps out wide opposite Stefon Diggs (knee).

While Diggs (assuming his health) and slot man DeMario Douglas profile as the team's top two wide receiver options, how things shake out beyond that duo remains to seen. Based on practices this summer, Graff guesses that Hollins could see the most snaps opposite Diggs early on this season. That said, Kayshon Boutte also is in the mix on that front, while third-rounder Kyle Williams projects as the upside play as the season progresses. In any case, clarity with regard to the exact Patriots' WR pecking order probably won't arrive until the team's Week 1 box score/snap counts are available to provide more concrete context.

Gage (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Gage re-signed with the 49ers on Thursday after being released Tuesday, but he isn't quite ready to practice, while still recovering from the MCL sprain he suffered last Thursday. He could get slot work Week 1 at Seattle if he's healthy enough to play, as the 49ers have a slew of other WRs dealing with injuries (or suspensions).
