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.

The Commanders are signing Riley to a contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Riley suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Miami in 2024 but he only handled 42 defensive snaps in that span. He'll compete for a depth role on defense with Washington, but the bulk of his contributions will figure to come on special teams, if he manages to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

The Jets activated Johnson (Achilles) from the active/ PUP list Sunday.

Johnson has progressed enough in his recovery from a right Achilles tear to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity, and Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that the team's plan is now to ramp up the standout defensive end's activity level with an eye toward Week 1. It remains to be seen whether Johnson will take the field for either of New York's two remaining preseason contests.

Brown (hamstring) returned to practice Sunday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

It remains to be seen whether Brown's able to participate without limitations, but this nonetheless marks a step in the right direction as he works his way back from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for the past week. The Eagles have little reason to rush Brown's recovery process, and there have been no indications that his availability for the Thursday, Sept. 4 regular-season opener against the Cowboys is in any danger.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday that Mattison is "doing well" after being forced out of Miami's preseason game against the Bears due to "neck and shoulder soreness," David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

McDaniel confirmed that Mattison currently isn't in the concussion protocol, per Furones. The veteran running back looked capable before leaving the field Sunday, recording three carries for eight yards and a score plus one catch for 21 yards on two targets.
