Matos was taken to a local hospital by helicopter after sustaining an unspecified injury during Wednesday's practice, Niles Garrison of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Matos is in stable condition. The second-year offensive tackle originally joined the team last May after going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Head coach Todd Bowles listed Walker (undisclosed) as "week-to-week" ahead of Tampa Bay's first day of training camp, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Walker was placed on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday ahead of training camp with an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old spent last season with Miami, where he recorded 68 tackles before signing with Tampa Bay in March. The Buccaneers are missing one starting inside linebacker after K.J. Britt left in free agency, and Walker is expected to be in line for the job with Deion Jones and SirVocea Dennis also competing for an opportunity.

Campbell (shoulder) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's first day of training camp Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Campbell fell to the end of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft due in part to concerns regarding a labrum issue that ultimately required surgery in March. However, he appears to be ahead of the team's original injury timeline, as he wasn't expected to start participating in the Eagles' offseason practices until August. The 21-year-old is expected to compete for a starting role immediately, with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean (knee), who began training camp on the active/PUP list, his primary competition.

Dean (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice reports.

Heading into his fourth NFL season, Dean is still recovering from the torn patellar tendon he suffered during Philadelphia's first-round playoff game against the Packers and is the only Eagle to start training camp on the active/PUP list. The 24-year-old had by far his most productive year last season, totaling 128 tackles and 3.0 sacks over 15 regular-season games. However, first-round pick Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) was active and practicing in limited fashion during the first day of training camp, recovering more quickly than expected from a torn labrum he had surgery for in March. With the starting linebackers undetermined, this news could give Campbell some helpful reps early as Dean watches from the sideline.

Ward (foot) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Ward missed nine regular-season games for the Texans last season with both a concussion and, separately, a foot injury. Early in the offseason, head coach DeMeco Ryans said the 34-year-old was "doing fine" in the progression of his foot injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. With injuries limiting him to just 20 regular-season games over the past two campaigns, the team is taking a cautious approach with the veteran safety, but he can return at any point in the preseason should the team deem him ready.

Coach Mike McDaniel noted Wednesday that Waller's placement on the PUP list is standard procedure for players coming out of retirement, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

With that in mind, McDaniel indicated that the team is simply taking a preventative and responsible approach by easing Waller into the mix. In terms of the tight end's physical readiness at the onset of training camp, McDaniel added, "this is a well-conditioned athlete who's in great shape." Once Waller re-takes the field, he'll have an opportunity to fill the void created by the trade of fellow TE Jonnu Smith (88 catches for Miami in 2024), who was traded to the Steelers last month.

Taylor (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Taylor was essentially a rotational practice-squad back for Houston last year, playing in five regular-season contests and totaling 33 offensive snaps. It's unclear what injury Taylor may be dealing with, but the Texans may just be being cautious with their veterans as the team placed 13 players on either the non-football injury list or PUP list before the start of training camp. The 27-year-old can return to the practice field at any point in the preseason should the team deem him ready, and he will likely need to do so quickly, as Taylor could be competing with newly drafted fourth-round pick Woody Marks for a roster spot.

Fatukasi (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

It's not entirely clear what Fatukasi is dealing with, but the defensive lineman did miss the final three games of the regular season last year due to an ankle injury. The Texans overall might be taking a cautious approach with a number of their veterans, as 13 players were either placed on the non-football injury list or PUP list to begin training camp. The 30-year-old Fatukasi re-signed with Houston on a one-year deal late in the offseason and is expected to be a key rotational defensive lineman much like he was last season.

Head coach Zac Taylor noted Wednesday that he anticipates playing Burrow more in preseason games "than we ever have" as the Bengals prepare for the 2025 regular season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

With that in mind, Burrow's next chance to see game action will occur Aug. 7, when the Bengals face the Eagles in the first of their three scheduled exhibition contests. On the heels of a 2024 campaign in which he logged 4,918 passing yards and a 43:9 TD:INT in 17 regular-season tilts, Burrow should benefit from the fact that pass-catching mainstays Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki all inked multi-year extensions with Cincinnati this offseason.

Autry (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The team is likely taking precaution with the veteran, as Autry played through a knee injury throughout much of last season. The 35-year-old is entering his 12th NFL campaign and tallied 3.0 sacks over 10 regular-season games in his first year with Houston last season. He played a rotational role on the defensive line and will likely reprise a similar role for a largely unchanged front four.
