Texans' Braxton Berrios: Begins battle for roster spot
Berrios (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Jonathan Alexander and Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Berrios made his practice debut Wednesday and played with the second and third-team quarterbacks. He reportedly had a good day, which he'll likely need to stack to make the roster. Berrios is also a good special-teams contributor, which could be another path to him sticking with the team.

Rams' Tru Edwards: Lands on PUP list
The Rams placed Edwards (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's unclear what type of injury Edwards has, but he will be eligible to participate in practice and preseason games once he has fully recovered.

Seahawks' Johnathan Hankins: Dealing with back injury
The Seahawks placed Hankins (back) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Wednesday that Hankins was diagnosed with a back injury, but there's optimism that the issue won't keep the veteran sidelined for the long term. Hankins opted to re-sign with the Seahawks in late April after a solid 2024 campaign in which he recorded 30 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception in 17 regular-season games.

Ethan Garbers QB | CAR
Ethan Garbers: Let go by Carolina
The Panthers waived Garbers on Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Garbers signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in late April and was expected to compete for the No. 3 quarterback job behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton. However, Garbers was let go by the Panthers to make room on the roster for corner Tre Swilling. Garbers will likely clear waivers, at which time he will explore his next options.

Kenny Pickett QB | CAR
Browns' Kenny Pickett: First go with starters for 11-on-11
Pickett got the first crack with the starters during Cleveland's 11-on-11 session Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Pickett got the nod Wednesday to operate as the team's first quarterback during 11-on-11, while Joe Flacco sat out the session. Flacco saw the first reps with the first-team offense during a modified 7-on-7 versus Cleveland's No. 1 back seven. Considering it was the team's first full-team workout, it'd be unwise to read into it deeply, but it appears Pickett is a step above rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, and he could be the early favorite to compete with Joe Flacco for the starting role in Week 1 versus the Bengals.

Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Unable to practice
Nichols (neck) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nichols had his 2024 season cut short by a stinger, but he was able to practice in OTAs heading into training camp. It's unclear if he's suffered a setback, but regardless, he won't begin camp on the practice field.

Baylon Spector LB | JAC
Bills' Baylon Spector: Past calf injury
Spector (calf) participated in Wednesday's practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Spector dealt with a calf injury for the entire 2024 season, which caused him to miss nine games (including the Bills' three playoff games). He looks to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, and Glab relays that the 2022 seventh-rounder made a strong impression during Wednesday's practice. Although injuries limited his playing time in 2024, Spector still finished the regular season with a career-high 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 11 games.

BJ Ojulari LB | ARI
Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Still recovering
Ojulari (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Ojulari tore his ACL in training camp one year ago. He was reportedly close to returning to the practice field during offseason practices, so his stay on the PUP list will presumably be short.
