The Bills activated Jackson (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Tuesday.

Jackson landed on the PUP list last week but is set to return for the start of training camp. Now healthy again, the rookie third-round pick should have the opportunity to compete for one of the team's top rotational pass-rush roles.

The Panthers signed Mabry to a contract Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Mabry spent the previous five campaigns in Seattle's organization and got into 12 regular-season games, catching his lone target for a seven-yard touchdown in 2022. He'll get a chance to compete for a depth role in the Panthers' tight-end corps, though he'll likely need to make a strong impression to make the season-opening roster.

The Giants placed Thomas (foot) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Thomas ended the 2024 campaign on IR due to a Lisfranc injury and isn't far enough into his recovery to practice. New York has stated an intent to be cautious with Thomas' return, but there remains a decent chance that he'll be ready to go by Week 1 of the regular season. Thomas' ability to stay healthy this year will likely be a critical factor in the performance of New York's offensive line.

The Giants placed Dimukeje (pectoral) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Dimukeje tore his pec during offseason workouts and isn't yet ready to practice. The 25-year-old signed a contract with the Giants in March following four seasons in Arizona. While Dimukeje can be activated from the NFI list at any time during the preseason, it's not clear how long he'll be sidelined.

The Giants placed Gray (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

It's not clear what issue has caused Gray to not be ready for the start of training camp, but it will be important for him to get back on the field quickly since he's not a lock for a roster spot. Gray can be activated from the PUP list and begin practicing as soon as he passes a physical.

Adams and the Raiders agreed on a contract Tuesday, Saad Yousuf, Tashan Reed and Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Adams will reunite with his former head coach Pete Carroll, joining Las Vegas after combining to record seven total tackles (four solo) over five regular-season contests with the Titans and Lions in 2024. The safety appears to be past his prime, but some of his best years were with Carroll in Seattle, and maybe he can find a groove again with the Raiders as a depth option in the team's secondary.

The Raiders signed Dorsett to a contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dorsett previously signed with the Raiders in March of 2023, but he was unable to break camp with the club. The veteran wideout hasn't gotten into an NFL game since that 2023 campaign, when he played in two regular-season contests with Denver and didn't catch any of his three targets. Dorsett will now have a chance to compete for a depth role in the Raiders' receiver corps, though he'll likely need to make a good impression to nab a roster spot.

The Giants waived Johnson (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Johnson was a seventh-round selection by Green Bay in the 2023 NFL Draft. He joined the Giants last season and got into nine contests, tallying five tackles and one defensed pass while playing primarily on special teams. It's not clear what caused him to fail his physical ahead of training camp.

Watson (Achilles) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Browns on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As expected, Watson will officially open training camp on the sidelines as he recovers from a second right Achilles procedure that he underwent in January. The quarterback is projected to miss the beginning of the 2025 campaign, and once healthy, it seems unlikely that the 29-year-old will regain the starting role in Cleveland. The Browns will enter camp with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett,Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders as healthy options at QB.

The Saints waived Holker on Tuesday, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Holker originally signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024 and tallied three catches on four targets for 21 yards as a rookie. The Colorado State product got into 12 games last year but didn't seem likely to garner a bigger role this season since the Saints have four veteran tight ends (Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill (knee), Foster Moreau (knee) and Jack Stoll) on the roster.
