Kohou exited Saturday's practice after suffering a leg injury during 1-on-1 drills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Kohou went down while he was covering Tyreek Hill during Saturday morning's practice. The Dolphins' secondary lacks experience, so a serious injury for Kohou -- who has 38 starts through three seasons -- would be a problem. The Dolphins don't practice again until Monday.

The Dolphins waived Cooper on Saturday.

Cooper spent most of the 2024 season on the Ravens' practice squad. With the Dolphins bringing in Jack Jones, Cooper will now look for his next opportunity.

Jones signed with the Dolphins on Saturday.

Jones stated 16 of 17 games last season with the Raiders and recorded 69 tackles (52 solo), 16 pass breakups and three interceptions, including a pick-six. He was waived in April but has finally found a new home where he can compete for a starting job immediately. Veteran corner Kader Kohou (leg) is expected to start in the slot, but the boundary cornerback spots are up for grabs among Jones, Storm Duck, Cam Smith and rookie fifth-round pick Jason Marshall.

The Panthers waived Barno (knee) on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The move opens a spot on the Panthers' 90-man roster for undrafted rookie J.J. Weaver. Barno was limited to five regular-season games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury and finished with seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks. He underwent a clean-up procedure on his knee during the offseason, but it's unclear whether he would be healthy enough to practice right away were he to catch on with another team during training camp.

Alexander (undisclosed) visited the Packers on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Alexander signed with the Seahawks in May as an undrafted free agent but was waived with a non-football injury designation Monday due to an undisclosed issue. The LSU product should garner some interest from teams looking to bolster their secondary.

Turner (ankle) did not participate in Friday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Turner limped off the field during Wednesday's practice after injuring his ankle, and the rookie second-rounder remained sidelined during Friday's session. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but he'll continue to work off to the side before being given the green light to return to individual and team drills. Turner is expected to serve in a rotational role at defensive tackle behind Gervon Dexter and Grady Jarrett during the upcoming season.

Banks is considered day-to-day due to a back injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear when Banks suffered the injury, but his absence has allowed Travis Glover to take several reps with the first-team offense at left guard. Banks signed a four-year, $77 million contract with the Packers in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the 49ers.

Brewer has not participated in training camp practices due to a soft tissue problem in his right leg, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Brewer was spotted wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg. He has been limited to snapping footballs on the sidelines, but head coach Mike McDaniel was not overly concerned about Brewer's injury when talking to reporters Friday. Brewer played every snap for the Dolphins last season and is expected to anchor Miami's offensive line in 2025.

Green left Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Green was in the midst of a strong practice before suffering the injury, and he'll undergo further tests to determine its severity. The 2024 second-rounder appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the 49ers in his rookie campaign and is expected to start at outside corner in 2025. An extended absence would give Darrell Luter (pelvis), Tre Brown, Tre Avery and Dallis Flowers additional opportunities for reps during practices and preseason games.

The Chargers signed Jackson to a contract Friday.

Jackson had a solid chance to make the Patriots' 53-man roster in 2024 before suffering a season-ending, non-contact knee injury during New England's second preseason game last August. He was let go by the Patriots in April, and while he wasn't able to catch on with a team during the offseason, he'll now have the opportunity to audition his talents with the Chargers. He faces an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster, but a strong showing in practices and preseason games could earn Jackson a spot on the practice squad.
