Mills is expected to draw the start in Saturday's preseason opener against the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

If that is indeed the case, top QB C.J. Stroud would presumably be rested, with Graham Mertz and Kedon Slovis also available to handle snaps versus Minnesota. As the coming season approaches, Mills is set to reprise his role as Houston's No. 2 signal caller.

Stone is considered week-to-week due to a soft tissue injury and has been ruled out for the Bengals' second preseason game against the Commanders on Monday, Aug. 18, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Stone played just four defensive snaps during the Bengals' preseason loss to the Eagles on Thursday, and that may have been due to his injury. Given that it's training camp, Stone could also miss the Bengals' preseason finale against the Colts on Saturday, Aug. 23 in order to avoid aggravating the injury. If that were to be the case, Stone will aim to be fully healthy for Week 1 against the Colts. In the meantime, Tycen Anderson and Daijahn Anthony are the top candidates to work with the first-team defense at safety alongside Jordan Battle.

The Ravens placed Kone (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Kone tore a ligament in his left knee during the Ravens' preseason game against the Colts, and he will miss the entire 2025 season as a result. With Kone out for 2025, the Ravens bolstered their depth at cornerback by signing M.J. Devonshire.

The Ravens signed Devonshire to a contract Saturday.

Devonshire was let go by the Panthers in late July with an injury settlement. He's fully recovered from his hamstring injury and will bolster the Ravens' cornerback depth after Bilhal Kone (knee) was placed on injured reserve.

Hamilton (groin) will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Hamilton did not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts due to a groin injury. The Ravens will manage Hamilton's injury conservatively, and he's unlikely to play in Baltimore's next preseason game against Dallas on Saturday, Aug. 16 if he's unable to practice in the coming week. Sanoussi Kane drew the start at strong safety Thursday and will continue to get reps with the first-team defense for as long as Hamilton is sidelined.

Major (concussion) participated in Saturday's training camp practice while wearing a non-contact red jersey, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Major remains in concussion protocol, which forced him to miss Thursday's preseason game against the Colts. His return to practice is a good sign, but he'll need to clear the league's five-step protocol in order to play in the Ravens' next preseason game against the Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 16. Major signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in late April and is battling for a backup running back spot on the 53-man roster.

Mitchell (undisclosed) is not participating in Saturday's training camp practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

It could just be a maintenance day for Mitchell, who got an extended run during the Ravens' preseason game against the Colts on Thursday and finished with 68 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries. His practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring as the Ravens prepare for their next exhibition game against the Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Johnson was evaluated for a concussion and has been cleared to return to Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.

Johnson was slow to get up after making a tackle late in the first quarter. He has been given the green light to return, though he's unlikely to see much more action (if any) given that it's the preseason.

Wonnum (back) finished Friday's 30-10 preseason loss against the Browns with one assisted tackle.

Wonnum worked with the first-team defense and ended up playing 11 snaps. The 2020 fourth-rounder was tending to a back injury during the offseason, but he appears past the issue given his ability to play Friday. Wonnum missed the first nine games of the 2024 regular season due to a lingering quadriceps injury but managed to finish with 37 tackles (18 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across eight games. The Panthers' preseason depth chart has Wonnum starting at outside linebacker alongside Patrick Jones, Trevin Wallace and Christian Rozeboom.

Yeboah (leg) suited up for the Lions' preseason game against the Falcons on Friday.

Yeboah has been working through a leg injury that he suffered during the Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers on July 31. He was healthy enough to make himself available for Friday's game, though he didn't play a single snap. Yeboah could have a larger role in the Lions' third preseason game against the Dolphins on Saturday, Aug. 16.
