Locke suffered a hyperextended knee at training camp practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Locke went down with a noncontact injury, and he was forced to leave the practice early. The safety appears to have avoided a major injury, and the team's doctors aren't overly concerned. Locke is set to operate as a top rotational piece behind Malik Hooker and Jalen Thompson in the secondary with Dallas this season, and in his absence, Alijah Clark is a top candidate to see an increase in reps at practice.

Banks is dealing with a hamstring injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Banks was placed on the PUP list Tuesday with what's now being described as a hamstring injury. He appeared in two regular-season games for the Packers in 2025 and will look to compete for a depth spot at tackle once healthy.

Wypler (knee) participated in Cleveland's training camp Wednesday, Ashley Bastock of Clevland.com reports.

Wills (knee) will compete for Chicago's starting left tackle role, Mike Moraitis of Sports Illustrated reports.

Wills is competing with both Braxton Jones and Ozzy Trapilo (knee) for the starting job.

Amegadjie (elbow) is drilling with the second team at left tackle during the Bears' training camp, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

Amegadjie was unable to play any snaps in 2025 after being placed on Chicago's injured reserve list with an elbow injury in September, but he's now back in football shape for training camp. He'll continue to compete with 2025 second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo (knee) and Jedrick Wills (knee) for positioning on the 2026 depth chart at tackle.

Thornton (fibula) participated in Carolina's training camp Wednesday, Zach Roberts of Sports Illustrated reports.

Zavala (calf) is participating at the Panthers' training camp, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
