Johnson (undisclosed) took part in individual drills at Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson returning as at least a limited participant Thursday lends optimism to the notion that the undisclosed injury he sustained Tuesday or Wednesday is indeed minor, and shouldn't hamper him for more than a few days. The 28-year-old veteran has surpassed 500 receiving yards in two of the last three seasons and is currently positioned as New Orleans' clear top tight end, with positional mates Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) on the active/PUP list. A quick return to team reps will be beneficial for Johnson, as he works to establish chemistry with QBs Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.

Baker (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of Titans.com reports.

After leaving Tuesday's practice early, Baker was back to full participation Wednesday. Training camp practices have afforded the 27-year-old his first taste of on-field work this offseason, as he was still recovering from shoulder surgery during minicamp.

Roy (foot), who was limited in OTAs, has been practicing without limitations during training camp, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Roy was placed on injured reserve and ruled out for the season in December due to a foot injury, but the 2023 fifth-rounder has since moved past the issue. The LSU product is thus aiming to secure a rotational role on the Patriots' defensive line ahead of the upcoming campaign. In six games last season, he recorded 17 tackles, including three tackles for loss.

White said during Thursday's training camp practice that he's dropped down to roughly 212 pounds and has improved his quickness, conditioning and stamina heading into Year 4, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

White enters 2025 seemingly positioned for a complementary backfield role that will primarily make use of his passing-down skills, while 2024 breakout Bucky Irving dominates carries. As a pure runner, White has at times looked indecisive between the tackles, though last year was actually the most efficient of his career on the ground, with 144 carries for 613 yards (4.3 YPC) and three scores across 16 regular-season appearances. The 2022 third-round pick has only missed one regular-season game in his career to date, and he'd likely inherit a huge role if the 195-pound Irving were to miss any time, though there's also a lingering possibility that Sean Tucker (who averaged 6.2 YPC on just 50 rushes last year) pushes for more touches.

Turner-Yell (knee) is fully healthy after missing the entire 2024 season related to an injury suffered in the final game of the 2023 campaign, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

Turner-Yell is set to return from an ACL, MCL and meniscus tear suffered at the end of the 2023 campaign. The 25-year-old was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list last season but was never able to practice within the subsequent 21-day window. Turner-Yell was a significant contributor on special teams prior to his injury and is expected to fill a similar role this coming season should he make the 53-man roster.

Onwenu (hand) participated in Wednesday's practice, Paul Perillo of Patriots.com reports.

Onwenu was limited at OTAs in the spring due to his hand injury, but he now appears to be back at full strength. The 27-year-old has been an important component of the Patriots' offensive line, starting all 17 games last season. Onwenu is projected to slot in at right guard alongside recent addition Morgan Moses in 2025.

Iosivas, who has been having a strong training camp, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, turned in another strong effort Wednesday.

Iosivas is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 36-479-6 line on 61 targets in 17 games while working alongside star WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who both subsequently signed long-term extensions with the Bengals. While Iosivas is no threat to supplant either of the team's top two options at his position, the third-year player's continued development, in particular in terms of his contested-catch ability -- which was on display during Wednesday's session -- should help keep him on the fantasy radar despite a target share that figures to be modest as long as Chase and Higgins remain healthy.

Daniels (Achilles) has been participating in training camp, Claude Smalls of the Miami Herald reports.

After suffering a torn Achilles tendon last September, Daniels was a limited participant in last month's. mandatory minicamp, but the guard has subsequently been cleared to work in training camp. The 27-year-old signed a three-year, $24 million deal with Miami in March and started all four games he appeared in with Pittsburgh last season.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Lloyd (groin) is not dealing with a long-term injury "but I wouldn't anticipate him this week" at practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lloyd suffered what's been described as a non-contact groin injury during Monday's practice, and while it appears he'll be sidelined until at least next week, it's a positive development to hear that the 2024 third-round pick has at least avoided a long-term issue. As a rookie, Lloyd was limited to one regular-season appearance due to a combination of hip, hamstring and ankle injuries, as well as appendicitis. As long as he can get healthy and then remain on the field, Lloyd will face a real opportunity in training camp to secure the No. 2 role behind workhorse Josh Jacobs, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as his competition.

Wypler (ankle) stood out during one-on-one drills in Wednesday's practice, Noah Monroe of ClevelandBrowns.com reports.

After missing all of last year due to a fractured ankle suffered in the preseason, Wypler is back in the mix participated in training camp, with Monroe noting that the center did well with his reps Wednesday, while standing tall through ustained pressure from the defensive line. The 2023 sixth-round pick appeared in five games his rookie season and will look to secure Cleveland's backup center role at training camp.
