The Ravens waived Major (concussion) on Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Major wasn't waived with an injury designation, which indicates he cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol. Assuming he clears waivers, Major will look to catch on with a team looking for backfield depth.

Reagor (lower body) did not participate in Wednesday's training camp practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Reagor missed the Chargers' first two preseason games due to a lower body injury, and his extended absence indicates that he's unlikely to play against the Rams on Saturday. The 2020 first-rounder is battling Derius Davis, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Dez Fitzpatrick for a depth spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Smith (concussion) participated in the Eagles' joint practice against the Browns on Wednesday.

Smith has been sidelined due to a concussion, but his appearance in team drills Wednesday indicates that he has passed the league's five-step concussion protocol. The Georgia product is coming off a productive 2024 campaign in which he logged 42 total tackles and 6.5 sacks over 16 regular-season games and added 4.0 sacks across the Eagles' four postseason contests. Given his ability to work in team drills, Smith is tracking toward being available for Saturday's preseason game against the Browns.

Bishop (quadriceps) participated in team drills during Wednesday's training camp practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Bishop was unable to play in the Bills' preseason opener against the Giants on Saturday due to a quad injury. The 2024 second-rounder appears past the issue after he got work in team drills during Wednesday's practice, and he is tracking toward being available for Sunday's preseason game against Chicago. Bishop saw work on both defense and special teams during his rookie season and is competing against Damar Hamlin for a starting safety spot next to Taylor Rapp.

Rapp (knee) participated in team drills during Wednesday's training camp practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Rapp was sidelined for the past week due to a knee injury. The additional rest has helped with his recovery enough to participate in team drills Wednesday, and the 2019 second-rounder is on track to be available for the Bills' upcoming preseason game against the Bears on Sunday. Rapp was a key piece in the Bills' secondary in 2024, finishing the regular season with 82 tackles (48 solo), six pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble in 14 games.

Carter (shoulder) participated in the Eagles' joint practice with the Browns on Wednesday.

Carter has been limited to sideline work due to a shoulder injury, but he was active in team drills during Wednesday's practice and made his presence felt at the line of scrimmage. The 2023 first-rounder is coming off a strong sophomore campaign in which he logged 42 tackles (25 solo), including 4.5 sacks, six pass defenses and two forced fumbles across 16 regular-season games. Carter will be the focal point of the Eagles' defensive front that includes Jordan Davis andMoro Ojomo, and edge rushers Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith (concussion).

The Texans placed Keene (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday.

It's unclear whether the injury has anything to do with the torn ACL that Keene suffered in August of 2024. Regardless, by being placed on IR, the 2020 third-rounder will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Houston. The Texans bolstered their tight end depth by signing Tre' McKitty in a corresponding move.

Robinson (undisclosed) relayed Wednesday that the injury he suffered during practice is "nothing serious," Nick Pugliese and Tom D'Angelo of The Palm Beach Post report.

Robinson had to be carted off the field during the Dolphins' joint practice with the Lions, but the good news for Miami and the 2024 first-rounder is that he appears to have faded a serious injury. He'll undergo further testing over the coming days to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury and whether he'll be able to return to practice over the coming weeks.

Bridgewater was featured more prominently in Wednesday's quarterback rotation, and how he performs in a joint practice with the Steelers on Thursday will determine whether he plays in Saturday's preseason contest, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

The veteran signal-caller didn't play in the preseason opener against the Titans on Saturday after just having signed a contract earlier in the week. Bridgewater has been gradually getting acclimated to coordinator Josh Grizzard's offense, and he impressed head coach Todd Bowles in Wednesday's session with his increasing grasp of the system. When asked about Bridgewater's potential participation in Saturday's second preseason game against the Steelers, Bowles stated he wanted "to see how much work he can get in" in reference to Thursday's joint practice before making a decision.

Henry is among the key Ravens players not slated to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Henry, who also didn't play in last Thursday's preseason opener, is no lock to see any action in the Ravens' Aug. 23 preseason finale, either. Ahead of Week 1, he's entrenched as a high-volume No. 1 option in a backfield that also includes Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali.
