Coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Brents (hamstring) remains without a timetable for return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Brents was injured two weeks ago and had been idle in practice before missing Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens. Brents missed most of last season after injuring his knee in the 2024 season opener. He missed the next 15 games before playing six defensive snaps in Week 18, only to then injure his groin. Brents has played in just 11 regular-season games since being taken in the second round of the 2023 Draft.

The Cardinals released Watkins (undisclosed) from IR on Sunday with an injury settlement, per the NFL's transaction log.

Watkins suffered an undisclosed injury during practice early August and was placed on IR, but he'll now be eligible to sign elsewhere and play during the 2025 season, once fully healthy. He spent time on the Steelers' practice squad last year.

Cross (hip) is not participating in Sunday's practice, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Cross is dealing with a hip flexor, and he has just under one week to get healthy ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup against the Packers on Aug. 16. The 2022 second-round pick broke out with 146 total tackles (87 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five passes defended, including three interceptions, and one forced fumble while playing all 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Carlies suffered an ankle injury in the Colts' preseason opener against the Ravens on Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Carlies is without a timetable for his return, according to Boyd. Carlies was a fifth-round pick in last year's NFL Draft, and he appeared in 10 regular-season games as a rookie, finishing with 36 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

Coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Herbert is dealing with an undisclosed injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. He was seen with a wrap on his leg, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Herbert rushed seven times for 29 yards and one touchdown in the Colts' preseason opener against the Ravens on Thursday, and it's unclear when he was injured or the severity of the injury. Looking like the Colts' RB4 behind Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Goodson and rookie DJ Giddens, Herbert can't afford to miss much time in his quest for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Pline exited Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers with an undisclosed upper-body injury, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Pline was favoring his upper body as he walked off the field with the training staff, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Pline was just claimed off waivers from the 49ers earlier in the week. He wasn't targeted in the exhibition prior to his injury.

Paye (groin) is not practicing Sunday, Jake Arthur of SI reports.

Paye suited up for Indianapolis' 24-16 preseason loss to the Ravens on Thursday, recording one tackle, but it appears he's now managing a groin issue. The starting defensive end's status appears uncertain for the Colts' next preseason affair on Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Packers.

Means (lower leg) exited Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers due to an apparent lower leg injury, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.

Means logged one reception for 12 yards before his departure Sunday. The 2024 fifth-round pick missed the final nine games of the regular season in his rookie year due to an ankle injury, but he was medically cleared back in January.

The Saints waived Tyree (undisclosed) with an injury designation Sunday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Tyree will revert to season-ending IR if he goes unclaimed on waivers. In that event, Tyree's only path to suiting up for action in 2025 will be for him to reach an injury settlement with New Orleans. He signed with the team in April after going undrafted out of Notre Dame.

Norris (neck/head) is present at team facilities in Detroit on Sunday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Norris was transported to a local hospital after being carted off the field early in the fourth quarter of Friday's preseason game against Atlanta and pronounced to be in stable condition, so it's encouraging to see him now back at the team's training facility. Via his personal social media accounts, Norris said Saturday morning he was "all good," per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
