The Rams waived/injured Torres (ankle) on Monday.

Torres injured his ankle during the Rams' preseason game against the Cowboys on Saturday. He'll go on waivers, but he will revert to the Rams' injured reserve if he isn't claimed, which will force him miss the entire 2025 season unless an injury settlement is reached. Tight end McCallan Castles was signed by the Rams in a corresponding move.

The Rams signed Castles to a contract Monday.

Castles was cut by the Chargers this past Wednesday, but he'll stay in Los Angeles and get another opportunity to make an NFL roster with the Rams. He gives the Rams some added depth at tight end while backup Terrance Ferguson nurses a groin strain.

Barnett (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Barnett passed his physical Monday, ultimately returning to practice for the first time since the beginning of training camp. Head coach DeMeco Ryans explained it'll take time for the veteran to get back to game shape, but Barnett will have nearly four weeks to do so before a Week 1 matchup versus the Rams on Sept. 7.

Tyree (undisclosed) reverted to New Orleans' injured-reserve list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Tyree was not claimed by another team after the Saints waived him with an undisclosed injury Sunday, and now he's back with the club on IR. Unless he can work out an injury settlement with New Orleans, he's set to spend the entire 2025 season sidelined.

Heyward signaled Monday that he wouldn't rule out missing regular-season games as he tries to negotiate a restructured contract, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Heyward has not been fully participating in training camp while in the midst of a dispute with the Steelers about his current contract. Until there is some form of resolution on Heyward's desire for a raise following his strong 8.0-sack campaign in 2024, his availability for the coming season will be in some degree of doubt.

White suffered a foot injury during the Saturday's 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

White played seven snaps (two on offense, five on special teams) and turned two carries into 16 yards late in the second quarter of Saturday's game. He appears to have come out of that contest worse for wear, and his practice participation during the coming week will provide clarity on his status for Saturday's exhibition game against the Colts. White signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent in late April and is competing for a depth spot on Green Bay's 53-man roster.

Baker was waived by the Raiders on Monday.

Baker signed with the Raiders on Aug. 3, but he will now potentially be looking for another opportunity elsewhere. The move made room for Marquez Callaway, who was signed by the team Monday. If Baker clears waivers, it's certainly possible that he sticks around Las Vegas as a member of the team's practice squad.

Stout (calf) did not participate at Monday's training camp practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Stout was held out of San Francisco's preseason opener Saturday due to calf tightness, and that's apparently still bothering him ahead of a scheduled joint practice with the Raiders on Thursday. Until he's able to get back onto the field, Tre Brown could be in line to see more reps in the slot at cornerback.

Callaway and the Raiders agreed on a contract Monday.

Callaway will join the Raiders ahead of the team's second preseason contest Saturday versus the 49ers. The wide receiver has appeared in five regular-season games in the last two years with the Saints and Buccaneers, and if he does crack the Raiders' 53-man roster, it'd likely be as a special-teams asset.

Slay (ankle) exited Monday's practice early, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

Slay suffered a rolled ankle on the first play of practice while in coverage of wide receiver DK Metcalf. The cornerback remained on the sidelines but did not return to practice, which suggests it may be a minor issue. Slay's status at practice will be worth monitoring in the coming days as the Steelers gear up to face the Buccaneers on Saturday.
