Thomas' lower-body injury will likely keep him out for another week of practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The safety and kickoff returner suffered the injury back on July 27. Thomas signed a one-year, $1.03 million contract with the Cowboys in March after playing on 281 special-teams snaps and 90 defensive snaps for the team in 2024, recording 14 tackles (10 solo) and 187 kickoff-return yards, including a touchdown.

Fuga (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Chargers on Monday.

The defensive tackle's injury remains unclear, though he was carted off from practice Saturday, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. If Fuga goes unclaimed on waivers, he will revert to Los Angeles' injured-reserve list, at which point he would need to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play in 2025. The Virginia Tech product signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in the spring.

Lovett exited Monday's practice with an abdominal injury and was unable to return, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Lovett was a seventh-round pick out of Georgia, 244th overall, by the Lions back in April. He can't afford to miss many valuable reps he'd be getting in practice and the preseason. Lovett played 36 offensive snaps in last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, securing five of nine targets for 31 yards.

O'Connor exited Monday's practice with a leg injury and was unable to return, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The 31-year-old defensive lineman appeared in 12 regular-season games with the Lions last season, logging 18 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, while playing a career-high 236 defensive snaps along Detroit's defensive line.

Anderson (knee) did not practice Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Anderson signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic last year and appeared in 12 regular-season contests as a rookie, finishing with 24 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He's competing for a role along the interior of the Niners' defensive line.

The Raiders acquired Booker from the Eagles in exchange for CB Jakorian Bennett on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Texans selected Booker in the fifth round of the 2022 Draft, but he was cut after just one season and spent 2023 on the Eagles' practice squad before appearing in all 17 regular-season games with Philly last season. Booker will compete for a rotational role along the interior of Las Vegas' defensive line.

The Eagles acquired Bennett from the Raiders in exchange for DT Thomas Booker on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A fourth-round pick of the Raiders in 2023, Bennett appeared in 10 regular-season games last season for Las Vegas, making seven starts. He suffered a shoulder injury in Week 11 and missed the remainder of the campaign on injured reserve. With a new coaching staff in town, Bennett was deemed expendable. He'll compete for cornerback snaps behind Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in Philadelphia.

Huntley signed with the Browns on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The signing comes as Kenny Pickett (hamstring), Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) and Shedeur Sanders (shoulder) are all dealing with injuries, per Schefter. In 2024, Huntley spent time with the Browns and appeared in five games with the Dolphins, recording 829 passing yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions. The quarterback would likely need a long-term injury to one or more of the Browns' current QBs to have a chance to stick with the team, as Joe Flacco appears to be the leader in the clubhouse for the starting role, and Gabriel and Sanders were both selected by Cleveland in the 2025 Draft.

Perryman, who was arrested Friday on a felony weapons charge, had the charge dropped Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Popper also relayed a statement from Ron Butler, Perryman's agent: "The charges have been dismissed, and we're grateful the matter has been resolved." The inside linebacker finished with 55 tackles (39 solo) across 11 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024, landing a one-year, $3.6 million deal to return to the team in March.

Williams (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Bucs on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The running back signed a reserve/future contract in January after spending 2024 on Tampa Bay's practice squad. Williams was elevated for one game last year, seeing eight special-teams snaps. He'll now have to look for his next opportunity elsewhere.
