Travis Etienne seemed to be the feature back during Tuesday's practice, after Bigsby got more work with the starters last week, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Even though Etienne got more work, Bigsby performed well Tuesday, reaching the second level on multiple runs. The big takeaway is that both running backs are playing a lot of first-team snaps, while rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten has been limited by a minor hamstring injury. Snaps and touches are up for grabs under new coach Liam Coen, who oversaw a dramatic transformation of Tampa Bay's running game last year.

The Falcons removed London (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

London was back at practice Tuesday after recovering from an undisclosed injury. He spent the entire 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad and is aiming to earn a spot for himself on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Bryant (undisclosed) was removed from the active/non-football injury list Tuesday after passing a physical, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bryant will be able to participate in practices and preseason games now that he is off the NFI list. He signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in May, and while making the 53-man roster is unlikely, he'll have the opportunity to at least compete for a spot on the practice squad.

Banks (back) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

Banks is considered day-to-day due to a back injury that he suffered last week. The team will likely play things conservatively, which could mean that Banks misses the Packers' preseason opener against the Jets on Aug. 9. Banks started at left guard in 13 regular-season games last season, so his absence gives Donovan Jennings and Kadeem Telfort the opportunity to see more reps with the first-team offense.

The 49ers placed Jackson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Jackson was taken to a local hospital after suffering an injury during Sunday's practice. He was discharged Monday, but by being placed on IR, the 2021 sixth-round pick will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the 49ers. Jackson appeared in three regular-season games for the Panthers in 2024, logging 49 snaps (28 on defense, 21 on special teams) without otherwise recording a stat.

Achane has impressed during the early portion of training camp, making several big plays at practice Tuesday, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Achane opened 11-on-11 team drills Tuesday with an impressive run, and he logged a pair of big plays to close out the day, including a deep pass from Tua Tagovailoa. It's encouraging to see Achane meshing well with Miami's revamped offensive line, and he remains the Dolphins' clear lead back after a stellar sophomore season in which he tallied career-high totals across the board with 203 carries for 907 yards (4.5 YPC) and six scores, plus an outstanding 78-592-6 receiving line on 87 targets. Miami's decision to replace tight end Jonnu Smith with Darren Waller, who spent last season in retirement, leaves Achane with less target competition in the short and intermediate areas of the field, and the combination of Jaylen Wright, Alexander Mattison and Ollie Gordon look more like threats for short-yardage duties than the overall backfield workload.

Gray is considered week-to-week due to a hamstring injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

The injury puts Gray in jeopardy of missing preseason games, starting with the Saints' opener against the Chargers on Aug. 10. Gray primarily served on special teams across 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 25 tackles (12 solo) and one forced fumble.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Tuesday that Zavala is considered "week-to-week" with a patella injury that he suffered during Monday's training camp practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

The injury puts Zavala in jeopardy of missing the Panthers' preseason opener against the Browns on Aug. 8. The 2023 fourth-rounder started in two games in 2024 and is expected to be Carolina's top backup offensive guard. Zavala's absence opens the door for Ja'Tyre Carter and Jarrett Kingston to get more reps at guard during practice and preseason games.

Davidson left Tuesday's training camp practice after injuring his right hamstring, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

It's the second time Davidson has tweaked his right hamstring in three days, and while he appeared to be in more pain Tuesday, he was able to walk off the practice field under his own power. He'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but he will likely be limited to sideline work over the next few days to avoid aggravation. Davidson is coming off his most productive NFL campaign, finishing the 2024 regular season with 23 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across 12 games.

The Steelers waived Moon (calf) with an injury designation Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Moon suffered a calf injury during Saturday's practice and has now been let go. If he is not claimed off waivers by another team, then Moon would revert to injured reserve, which would force him to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Steelers. Moon appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2024 and logged nine tackles (five solo) while mostly serving on special teams.
