Head coach Sean Payton announced Tuesday that it was an ACL injury that landed Gargiulo on injured reserve, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Gargiulo was carted off the field during Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals with what's now being described as an ACL injury. He was competing for a spot as a backup guard on the team and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for next season.

Thomas (foot) passed his physical and is set to return to practice.

Thomas opened training camp on the active/PUP list while in the final stages of his recovery from a Lisfranc injury that he suffered in mid-October. Now that he's passed his physical, Thomas will be eligible to return to practice and play in preseason games, though the 2020 first-rounder is unlikely to suit up for Thursday's exhibition contest against the Patriots.

The Lions activated Wingo (knee) off the active/PUP list Tuesday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

Wingo is healthy again after having recovered from a knee injury suffered last November. The 22-year-old has been on the PUP list since July but will look to earn a spot on the team's final roster as a backup defensive tackle.

Fant and the Commanders agreed on a contract Tuesday.

Fant will head to Washington after being let go by the Seahawks in March. The offensive tackle has made 75 career starts with the Seahawks, Jets and Texans. He'll provide the Commanders with an additional veteran option behind starters Laremy Tunsil and Andrew Wylie on the offensive line.

The Bills waived/injured Couch (hamstring) on Tuesday.

Couch injured his hamstring during the Bills' joint practice with the Bears this past Friday. Couch would revert to the Bills' IR if he goes unclaimed off waivers, forcing him to miss the entire 2025 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Buffalo.

Mailata (concussion) didn't participate in Philadelphia's practice Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Mailata will have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to return to the field, and it's currently unclear when he picked up the injury. The 28-year-old should be good to go for the team's Week 1 matchup versus the Cowboys, and Kendall Lamm will take over for him as the team's top left tackle in practice while Mailate remains sidelined.

Wilson (undisclosed) recorded one tackle (one solo) during Monday's 31-17 preseason win at Washington.

Wilson played 29 snaps on defense and six snaps on special teams, though his notable role didn't translate to much in the box score. He figures to fill a rotational role at cornerback behind Cam Taylor-Britt, DJ Turner and Dax Hill once the regular season starts.

Majors (wrist) didn't participate in Tampa Bay's practice Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Majors joined the team as an undrafted free agent in April, and it's currently unclear how long he'll be sidelined for. If the 23-year-old ends up being forced to miss extended time, he could fall behind in his competition with Sua Opeta (knee) for the Buccaneers' backup center spot behind Graham Barton.

Blue (heel) participated in Tuesday's training camp practice, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Blue missed the Cowboys' first two preseason games while recovering from a bruised heel, but his participation in team drills Tuesday indicates that he could be available for Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons. The rookie fifth-round pick saw some work with the first-team offense prior to his injury, and once he's fully healthy, he'll compete against Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders and fellow rookie Phil Mafah for snaps out of the backfield.

The Jaguars waived Lassiter on Tuesday.

Lassiter had signed with the team as an undrafted free agent out of BYU in April but was unable to stand out in a crowded receiver room. He will now look to find another opportunity elsewhere and make his NFL debut during the upcoming campaign.
