Porter was held out of practice Friday due to an undisclosed issue, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Porter was present at practice but was in street clothes, per Pryor. The specific reason for his absence hasn't been shared, but he was running around Friday and doesn't appear to be dealing with anything serious, according to Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

Trice hurt his hamstring during practice Friday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

It's not clear how serious Trice's injury is, but Pittsburgh may opt to be cautious with his return to practice given that he missed the majority of last season due to a hamstring issue. Trice played a considerable amount in Weeks 16-18 after he returned from the injury, though he's been slated to work in a rotational role behind Darius Slay and Joey Porter (undisclosed) at outside cornerback this year.

Jones (knee/personal) returned to practice Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Jones got past his knee injury before training camp, but an undisclosed personal issue kept him away from the team. The 25-year-old linebacker returned to his starting role at inside linebacker, posting 94 tackles (48 solo), two pass breakups and an interception over 10 regular-season games with the Seahawks last year. Jones should be a premier IDP option again in 2025.

Horton worked with the first-team offense Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Horton's an interesting prospect because he may have been drafted if he left college in 2022 after posting a 71-1,131-8 line at Colorado State, but he returned for his senior year and registered an even better 96-1,136-8 tally. He then chose to stay in school for a fifth season, which was cut short by a knee injury after just six games. Nevertheless, the Seahawks picked him in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after he recorded a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Bell stated that Horton made multiple big plays with the starting offense and looks fully past his knee injury. The fact he's bumped veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the second team this early in camp is an encouraging sign, making it clear Horton can secure the No. 3 job by finishing training camp strong.

The Texans signed Davidson (biceps) on Friday.

Davidson missed the entirety of the 2024 season as he tended to a biceps injury, but he's now getting another chance with a new team as the 2025 preseason gets underway. Houston is dealing with a few injuries on its defensive line, so there's at least a slim path for Davidson to potentially sneak onto the final 53-man roster.

Tremble (back) ran routes on the side during training camp Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Tremble underwent back surgery in May and opened camp on the active/PUP list. The fifth-year tight end has been increasing his workload and "appears to be trending in a good direction," per Newton. It remains unclear, however, if Tremble will be ready to play in Week 1 of the regular season.

Houston placed Hamilton (ankle) on its injured reserve list Friday.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Hamilton's recent surgery to repair a broken ankle was successful, and he'll need around four months to recover. Due to the timing of his placement on IR, it's unlikely he'll get a chance to play again until 2026.

Wilson tweaked his knee at practice Friday but isn't expected to miss much time, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Wilson departed practice early and limped slightly as he left the field, but it doesn't appear that he's dealing with anything major, as Huber notes there is "no damage" in Wilson's knee. That's good news for the 26-year-old, as he's trying to earn the No. 2 role in Green Bay's backfield behind Josh Jacobs.

Pittsburgh waived Moon (calf) from its injured-reserve list with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Moon was slated to miss the entire 2025 season with a calf issue, but now he's eligible again to play this year if he signs with a different team. Most of his NFL snaps have been on special teams up to this point in his career.

The Eagles waived Tate (undisclosed) from their injured-reserve list with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The injury settlement means Tate won't necessarily have to miss the entirety of the season. With that said, if he's going to play in 2025, he'll still need to get another chance with a different team.
