In his first practice since being activated from the PUP list, Hollins worked with the starters during Thursday's walk-through session, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

Reiss notes that on Hollins' first snap Thursday, he lined up opposite Stefon Diggs, with DeMario Douglas in the slot. In his absence, it had been mostly Kayshon Boutte (who also saw some some work with the starters Thursday) working alongside Diggs and Douglas, but now that he's back in the mix, Hollins will look to secure the No. 3 role in a crowded Patriots WR corps that also includes Kyle Williams, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk.

Pittman (groin) participated in Thursday night's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Pittman sustained a groin injury during Tuesday's session, but after an off day Wednesday, he was back on the field Thursday logging reps with the first-team offense. While Pittman's standing as a key member of a wideout corps that also returns Alec Pierce and Josh Downs remains secure, who will be throwing to that trio in Week 1 has yet to be determined, with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones in the midst of what is being described as a close competition for the assignment.

Parsons (back) requested a trade from the Cowboys on Friday via his personal X account.

In particular, Parsons' statement included the following: "Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here. ... I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys." In an offseason in which fellow edge rushers Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt landed new extensions worth at least $40 million per year, Parsons and the Cowboys don't appear to be engaging in similar talks. Parsons is set to play out the fifth-year option on his rookie contract in 2025, which carries a salary of $24 million.

Hyatt said Friday that he currently weighs 189-190 pounds, after playing last season at around 172, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Bulk and strength have been major concerns dating back to the pre-draft process in 2023 when Hyatt checked in at 6-foot, 176 pounds. He apparently played his second NFL season at an even lighter weight, catching just eight passes across 346 snaps in 16 games. He hopes the extra pounds will help him with blocking and contested catches, but the 2023 third-round pick may nonetheless find himself on the roster bubble this summer.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said that Pickett (hamstring) will return to practice Friday in a limited capacity, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

After missing three practices with a hamstring injury, Pickett is back on the field for Friday's session, though he won't work in team drills. Now that he's back in action, Pickett will return to the task of competing with veteran QB Joe Flacco for the team's Week 1 starting nod. Prior to sustaining his hamstring issue, Pickett had been splitting most of the first-team reps with Flacco, with Dillon Gabriel also sprinkling in, while Shedeur Sanders didn't get any work with the first unit.

Jones and Anthony Richardson have remained neck and neck throughout the Colts training camp quarterback competition, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

The two signal-callers continue to share training camp reps, with coach Shane Steichen not yet inclined to reveal his plan for who will get the starting nod in the team's Aug. 7 preseason opener against the Ravens. Following Thursday's practice, Steichen noted that both players "have made plays at a high level the past couple of days, and that's what you want to see. You want to see growth; you want to see completions; you want to see the offense moving up and down the field. So, both have been doing a really good job."

Scourton (hamstring) did not participate in Friday's practice, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.

Scourton was the Panthers' second-round pick at No. 51 overall after he recorded 17.0 sacks during his three-year collegiate career, split between Purdue and Texas A&M. He's expected to help key Carolina's pass rush alongside D.J. Wonnum (back) and Patrick Jones.

Wicks (calf) participated in the early portion of Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It was previously thought that Wicks and Jayden Reed (toe) would sit out the session, but both wideouts ended up practicing. As the coming campaign approaches, Wicks is competing for targets in a crowded Green Bay WR corps that also includes Reed, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Savion Williams.

Wilson left Friday's practice early with an apparent injury, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wilson reportedly walked off the field under his own power with a slight limp, after trainers attended to him on the field. He's trying to lock down the No. 2 RB role he held for nearly all of last season -- an endeavor aided by MarShawn Lloyd's recent groin injury. With Wilson and Lloyd both sidelined, Chris Brooks seemingly slots in behind Josh Jacobs for now.

Lynn (shoulder) played 33 defensive snaps and logged three tackles (one solo) in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers.

Lynn signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of William & Mary last year but spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve. He's attempting to win a depth spot on the Lions' defensive line this summer.
