Walley left Tuesday's training camp practice due to a knee injury, Jake Arthur of SI.com reports.

Walley was unable to complete the second half of practice and was later seen on the field with ice wrapped around his knee. Even with the setback, the rookie third-rounder has put together an impressive training camp and is trending towards starting at outside corner opposite Charvarius Ward (leg). Walley will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, which will influence his chances of playing in Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens.

Porter (hand) participated in Tuesday's training camp practice as a limited participant, Chris Ward of Steelers Now reports.

Porter missed the last three practices due to a hand injury, but he was cleared to wear pads Tuesday and participate in individual drills. Given that he doesn't have the green light to work in team drills, the 2023 second-rounder is trending toward being sidelined for the Steelers' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday. The absences of Porter and Cory Trice (hamstring) have given Brandin Echols and Beanie Bishop the opportunity to rotate in with the first-team defense alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey.

The Texans waived Wanye on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Wayne had been working through a hamstring issue, but because he wasn't waived with an injury designation, he'll be free to sign with a team once he clears waivers rather than reverting to the Texans' injured reserve. He played 64 snaps (40 on offense, 24 on special teams) across three regular-season games in 2024 but did not accrue any other stats.

Dial sustained a ruptured ACL during Monday's training camp practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

It's the worst case scenario for Dial, who will now miss the entire 2025 season as he recovers. As he works toward a return in 2026, his absence could create additional opportunities for rookie seventh-rounder Kobee Minor.

Walker (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's training camp practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Walker had a brief stint on the PUP list due to an ankle injury. He was cleared in late July and has been a limited participant in practices, but he took a step in the right direction by participating in 11-on-11 drills during Tuesday's session. Walker could be held out of Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets to avoid aggravating the injury, but the 2022 first-rounder could see some snaps in the Packers' other exhibition games.

Allen and the Chargers agreed on a one-year, $8.52 million contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Allen is headed back to the team he spent the first 11 seasons of his career with from 2013 through 2023. The 33-year-old suited up for the Bears in 2024, catching 70 of 121 targets for 744 yards and seven touchdowns over 15 regular-season games. Allen now will reunite with quarterback Justin Herbert after recording 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven scores in their most recent campaign together in 2023. The wide receiver probably won't see that kind of volume in his return to Los Angeles however, as Ladd McConkey (undisclosed) is the clear No. 1 for the Chargers, and the team invested a second-round pick in the 2025 Draft in Mississippi standout Tre Harris.

New England claimed Avery off waivers Tuesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

After being waived by San Francisco, Avery is now getting a shot to make an impression with the Patriots. New England currently projects to start the season with a relatively strong corner rotation, so he might have a harder time cracking the final roster with the Pats than he would with a different team.

Cleveland waived Kendall (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Browns signed quarterback Tyler Huntley on Tuesday. Kendall will be eligible to be claimed by another team during the current waiver period, but if he's not, he'll revert to Cleveland's injured reserve list.

San Francisco waived Isabella (ankle) with a failure to disclose physical condition designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It wasn't a full week after Isabella signed with the 49ers before he suffered an ankle injury, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, and he's now getting waived. In a corresponding transaction, San Francisco signed wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown on Tuesday.

Parsons (back/contract) is uncertain to play Week 1 against the Eagles, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Parsons has been outspoken about his displeasure with Dallas, even announcing that he has requested a trade Friday. Owner Jerry Jones addressed the media Tuesday, stating that nobody in the front office has contacted Parsons' agent, and that he hasn't spoken to Parsons since his trade request. With less than a month until the Cowboys face the Eagles in the NFL's regular season opener Thursday, Sept. 4, it doesn't seem like the two sides are particularly close to a resolution.
