Reeder appears to be behind both Nate Landman and Omar Speights on the Rams' depth chart at inside linebacker during training camp, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Reeder started the first six games of the season in 2024 and served as an every-down linebacker for Los Angeles, but he injured his hamstring in Week 7 and missed the remainder of the campaign. After the Rams signed Nate Landman to a one-year deal this offseason, it appears Los Angeles is rolling with an inside linebacker duo of Landman and Omar Speights.

Rams coach Sean McVay singled out Speights on Thursday as someone who has been "outstanding" during training camp, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

"You can see he's really taken leaps in his second year," McVay continued. "He has really good ownership of what we're trying to get done." It's been evident at Rams camp that Speights and Nate Landman will be the team's starting inside linebackers. Los Angeles signed Speights as an undrafted free agent out of LSU last year, and he went on to appear in all 17 regular-season contests, making 10 starts.

Landman has been operating as a starting linebacker at the Rams' camp this summer, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Specifically, Landman has been wearing the green dot for the Rams as the team's defensive play caller, so he appears locked into a starting gig. Landman signed a one-year deal with the Rams this offseason after making 23 starts for the Falcons over the previous two seasons. He recorded 191 tackles (105 solo), including 2.0 sacks, six forced fumbles and four pass breakups from 2023-24 with Atlanta.

Following the recent release of Zack Moss, Perine and Tahj Brooks are in line to serve as the top complementary options behind top back Chase Brown, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox19.com reports.

Per Goldsmith, Brown -- who handled 229 carries in 16 regular-season games in 2024 -- remains on track to handle the majority of the team's RB snaps this year, while Perine figures to factor in on passing downs. For now, Goldsmith indicates that Brooks profiles as the No. 3 option in Cincinnati's backfield, but the rookie sixth-rounder has made some notable plays in training camp and it's plausible that he will push Perine for slotting behind Brown as the summer rolls along.

The Jaguars waived Rees-Zammit (back) on Friday.

Rees-Zammit was part of the NFL's international program as a former rugby player, and he informed the Jaguars on Thursday evening that he's returning home to Wales to play rugby. Rees-Zammit had been missing practices due to a back injury.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Williams (calf) will be sidelined for "a week or two," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Williams hobbled off the field Thursday and will now be sidelined for the next several practices. Jay Tufele, Byron Cowart and Phidarian Mathis will be next up for snaps with the first-team defense alongside Derrick Nnadi.

Wayne (hamstring) did not practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wayne is competing for one of the final spots at wide receiver in Houston. In 2024, Wayne appeared in three regular-season games and then the Texans' playoff loss to the Chiefs. He didn't see a target during the regular season but did draw two of them versus Kansas City, failing to catch either one.

Moore has been diagnosed with a strained oblique and did not practice Friday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The Jets used a fourth-round pick, 130th overall, on Moore in April's 2025 NFL Draft. Moore was a five-year producer at Alabama, playing 64 games in total during college. He's expected to serve as the Jets' third safety behind Tony Adams and Andre Cisco.

Sweat is considered day-to-day with an abdominal injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sweat isn't practicing Friday. The mountainous nose tackle was a second-round pick last year and appeared in all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, making 16 starts. He finished with 51 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Sweat also received some down-the-board votes for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

The Browns signed Isaac on Friday.

Isaac spent much of the previous two seasons bouncing between the Bucs' practice squad and active roster, appearing in a total of seven regular-season contests during that span. He didn't see any action on defense but did play 59 special teams snaps. Isaac will provide cornerback depth for Cleveland during the preseason.
