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.

Ford (fibula) recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss against the Chargers.

Ford was placed on New Orleans' injured-reserve list prior to its final game of the 2024 season due to a broken fibula, but he was back in playing shape for the team's 2025 preseason opener. The 2024 fifth-rounder isn't a lock for a roster spot for the upcoming campaign, but having tied for the team lead in tackles in Sunday's preseason contest certainly won't hurt his case.

The Bears signed Brown to a contract Monday.

The move corresponds with Chicago waiving Ameer Speed (undisclosed) with an injury designation. Brown spent most of the 2024 season on the Seahawks' practice squad and hasn't seen regular-season action since 2022 with the Raiders, when he played 61 snaps on special teams across six games. He'll have an opportunity to see snaps out of the backfield during practices and preseason games due to injuries to Roschon Johnson (foot), Travis Homer (calf) and Deion Hankins (concussion).

Harris (calf) was a full participant at Monday's training camp practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Harris missed all but five of Houston's 20 combined regular-season and postseason games in 2024 due to a calf injury he suffered prior to the season, but it now seems like he may finally be fully recovered. When he's at full strength, he projects as a starter at linebacker next to Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o.

The Buccaneers signed McClellan to a contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 2024 sixth-rounder played in just two regular-season games with the Falcons during his rookie campaign and ended the year on injured reserve due to a knee injury. McClellan was waived by Atlanta in June, but he will get an opportunity to make an NFL roster with the Buccaneers. He'll have a shot at seeing some backup reps out of the backfield due to Rachaad White (groin) being sidelined.

The Dolphins signed Shampklin on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Shampklin made three regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh in 2024, recording six carries for 17 yards over 27 offensive snaps. After getting waived by the Steelers back in May, Shampklin worked out with a few different teams before finally finding a fit with Miami. The placement of Alexander Mattison (neck) on injured reserve Monday left the Dolphins without any proven options at tailback behind De'Von Achane, leading to Shampklin's signing.

Pittsburgh waived Thomas-Jones on Monday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

In a corresponding transaction, Pittsburgh signed tight end Kevin Foelsch. For Thomas-Jones' part, he's now a free agent and will have to look for another opportunity with a different club.

The 49ers placed Abdullah (ribs) on injured reserve Monday.

Abdullah joined the 49ers in late July due to multiple injuries to the team's backfield, but the 2015 second-rounder suffered a rib injury of his own during San Francisco's 30-9 preseason loss to Denver on Saturday. By being placed on IR, Abdullah will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the 49ers. Jeff Wilson was signed by the 49ers to a one-year contract in a corresponding move.
