Shemar Turner DT | CHI
Bears' Shemar Turner: Limps off field
Turner (ankle) limped off the field at the end of practice Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Turner's first professional practice came to a rough end as he suffered an ankle injury. One of three Bears second-round picks from this year, Turner had 24 tackles for loss over his college career and will look to play a rotational role in the defensive tackle room behind starters Grady Jarrett and Gervon Dexter. He will not practice Thursday as the Bears are still evaluating his status.

Troy Andersen LB | ATL
Falcons' Troy Andersen: Starts camp on active/PUP list
Andersen (knee) will start training camp on the active/PUP list, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Andersen was placed on injured reserve back in Week 16 of last season due to a knee injury, and it appears as if the 26-year-old is still dealing with lingering effects. The fourth-year pro can return to practice at any point during the preseason, but Andersen might be on the outside looking in as the team's preferred starter after the Falcons signed Divine Deablo this offseason.

Justin Fields QB | KC
Jets' Justin Fields: Diagnosed with dislocated toe
Fields was diagnosed with a dislocated toe after exiting Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fields left the field on a cart and was said to be limping some. He reportedly avoided a fracture, but he's still undergoing further testing to analyze the full severity of his injury. For now, we know that it's a dislocated toe -- and not the big toe -- on his right foot. Tyrod Taylor figures to temporarily take over as the first-team quarterback, at least for the next few practices.

Justin Fields QB | KC
Jets' Justin Fields: Suffers toe injury
Fields suffered a toe injury of unknown severity during Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Fields came off the practice field gingerly Thursday morning and was then carted back to the team facility. Jets coach Aaron Glenn specified after practice that the QB suffered a toe injury, but Glenn didn't comment on the potential severity or whether Fields is expected to undergo an MRI, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. It sounds like QB Tyrod Taylor may take over New York's first-team offense for at least the next few days.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Vikings' Rondale Moore: Healthy for camp
Moore is healthy for training camp and competing for work as a punt returner, Mark Craig of The Star Tribune reports.
The 2021 second-round pick never panned out as a starting wide receiver, but he'll try to continue his career as a return specialist and depth wideout after a non-contact knee injury last summer cost him the entire 2024 campaign. The Vikings return starting wideouts Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor, with rookie third-round pick Tai Felton giving the team a fourth roster lock at the position. That likely leaves two spots up for grabs, with special teams potentially a big factor in determining them.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: May need to manage toe
Giants coach Brian Daboll suggested Thursday that Nabers' toe could require continued management even though the wideout is practicing at the start of training camp, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Nabers said Wednesday that his toe feels good at the moment but might end up requiring surgery at some point in his career. It's an issue that dates back to college, and while it popped up again toward the end of his rookie season, Nabers nonetheless had 235 receiving yards and three TDs over the final two weeks, making his case as a first-round fantasy pick for 2025. He's mostly going in the second half of the first round now, with ADP reflecting minimal concern (if any) about the toe injury that held him out of spring practices.

Justin Fields QB | KC
Jets' Justin Fields: Exits practice with injury
Fields left Thursday's practice early with an apparent lower leg injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Fields came off the practice field and was briefly evaluated by trainers, before being carted back to the team's indoor facility. Al Iannazzone of Newsday notes that the quarterback was moving gingerly but still able to put weight on his injured leg, including walking the rest of the way once the cart arrived near the facility. Tyrod Taylor will take over as the first-team QB for the rest of Thursday's practice.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sharing backfield with Walker again
Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker give Seattle backfield continuity in an otherwise revamped offense, ESPN.com's Brady Henderson reports.
Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, QB Geno Smith, and WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are out, replaced by Klint Kubiak, Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, respectively. Seattle's backfield, on the other hand, looks the same as last year, with Walker and Charbonnet atop the depth chart while Kenny McIntosh fends off competition for the No. 3 job. There have been some beat-writer whispers about Charbonnet potentially challenging Walker for the starting job under a new coaching staff, although nobody from the Seahawks has said anything to that effect.

Luther Burden III WR | CHI
Bears' Luther Burden: Could be ready soon
Bears coach Ben Johnson said Thursday that he hopes Burden (undisclosed) will be ready to practice in a few days, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Burden's soft-tissue injury from the offseason program lingered longer than the Bears expected, but they apparently remain optimistic he'll be available for the start of training camp. Once he's declared healthy, the 39th overall pick figures to compete with Olamide Zaccheaus for the No. 3 WR spot, behind returning starters DJ Moore and Rome Odunze.

Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Medically claeared for camp
Pitts (foot) is medically cleared for training camp, although Falcons coach Raheem Morris said the tight end may have "modifications" to his practice plan early on, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Pitts was present for Atlanta's offseason program but didn't practice, with reports suggesting a foot injury was responsible for his lack of activity. It sounds like he'll have plenty of time to ramp up for Week 1 as he prepares for the fifth and final season of his rookie contract, subject to the lowest expectations of his career after failing to break out (again) in 2024 under a new coaching staff.
