Jefferson did not catch his only target during Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

More important than his stat line, Jefferson played with the starting unit. He received his lone target on the opening drive and played 13 offensive snaps, comparable to Calvin Ridley's 11 and Tyler Lockett's 10. Jefferson was listed as a starter on Tennessee's initial depth chart, and his usage supported that.

Hall suffered a right shoulder injury in Sunday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Hall was injured while doing pass-rush drills. The 24-year-old played 49 defensive snaps in Friday's preseason opener against the Bengals, recording three tackles (one solo). Hall has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL contest.

Rogers exited Sunday's preseason game against the Saints with an undisclosed injury and didn't return, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Leonard exited Sunday's preseason game against the Saints with an apparent leg injury and did not return, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Leonard was helped off the field by the Chargers' training staff after playing 21 defensive snaps. He's in the mix to land one of the top reserve jobs in Los Angeles' secondary, as long as his injury isn't severe. Leonard appeared in 10 regular-season contests last season, and logged eight tackles (six solo) and three pass breakups.

The Broncos signed Junior on Sunday.

Selected in the sixth round of the 2022 draft by the Jaguars, Junior appeared in 10 regular-season games for Jacksonville during the 2022-23 campaigns, and logged 17 tackles (11 solo) and one pass breakup. He faces an uphill battle to make the Broncos' 53-man roster at this stage of the summer.

Clapp (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers, Jeff Nowak of the Saints' television network reports.

Clapp suffered the injury in the first quarter, and he was spotted with his right shoe off as he took the cart to the locker room. Head coach Kellen Moore did not provide an update on Clapp's status after the game, but more information on the injury likely will be provided in the near future.

Penning was carted to the locker room with an undisclosed injury Sunday against the Chargers, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday that Campbell's knee injury isn't believed to be serious, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Campbell played 19 defensive snaps in Sunday's preseason opener against the Bears, finishing with three tackles (one solo) before departing with the injury. Campbell appeared in all 17 regular-season contests with Miami last season, making one start.

Dike recorded one reception (on two targets) for six yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Dike received his first target early in the third quarter, notably rotating in after Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson. His first opportunity was a deep shot from Brandon Allen, and Dike then hauled in his next target for a six-yard gain. Dike also returned one kickoff for 32 yards, which could be one of his primary roles to begin the regular season.

The Falcons placed Arnold (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday.

Arnold didn't play in Friday's preseason opener against the Lions. He spent last summer with the Steelers but was placed on injured reserve last August due to a calf injury. Arnold hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023 with the Texans.
