The Bears activated Wheeler (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

Wheeler signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Howard following the 2024 NFL Draft and then suffered a knee injury in last summer's preseason finale. He spent the season on injured reserve but will now compete for a job behind D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson and rookie Kyle Monangai in the backfield.

The Bears activated Walker (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

Walker spent just two days on the list and is now free to practice with the team without restrictions. The undrafted rookie wideout out of Texas A&M will have an uphill battle to claim a roster spot.

The Bengals placed Moss (neck) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

Moss was able to take the field during the Bengals' OTAs, but as Ben Baby of ESPN.com notes, the running back is bouncing back from a season-ending neck injury. Once he's ready to resume practice, Moss can be activated from the NFL list, but for now Samaje Perine, Tahj Brooks, Gary Brightwell, Kendall Milton and Quali Conley are available to compete for slotting behind top back Chase Brown.

Parsons didn't participate in Tuesday's practice due to a back injury, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer told Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram before Tuesday's session that Parsons was in line to take part in drills, but that didn't come to pass. Speaking to the media afterward, the star edge rusher used the injury to dismiss talk of a "hold-in", but he is seeking a contract extension heading into the final year of his rookie deal. Parsons has been supremely productive in his first four years as a pro, recording at least 12.0 sacks every season and missing just five games overall, four of them in 2024.

Parsons is present to begin training camp Tuesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Parsons is currently looking for a massive contract extension, but he opted to report to camp without one despite the fact that to this point, the two sides don't appear particularly close on an agreement. Parsons dealt with ankle and wrist issues last season and was limited to 12 regular-season contests. He still stuffed the stat sheet when he was healthy, finishing with 43 tackles (30 solo), including 12.0 sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles.

The 49ers signed St. Brown on Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

St. Brown appeared in two regular-season games with the Saints last season but wasn't targeted on 35 offensive snaps. He hasn't seen any meaningful action since 2022 with the Bears. St. Brown will try to win one of the last spots on the roster this summer.

The Buccaneers placed Godwin (ankle) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

On Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that Godwin wouldn't participate in team drills at the start of training camp, and he won't take part in any on-field work as he continues his recovery from the dislocated left ankle that he suffered Week 7 of last season. Coach Todd Bowles told Stroud in early June that the team was "hopeful" Godwin will be healthy by Week 1, which is six-and-a-half weeks from now (Sunday, Sept. 7 in Atlanta). Prior to the injury, Godwin had put together a sterling 50-576-5 line on 62 targets in seven contests, and he re-signed with Tampa Bay this offseason via a three-year, $66 million contract.

The Dolphins placed Waller (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

Waller can be activated at any time, but he's going to miss at least the start of training camp to get himself back in playing shape after spending the 2024 campaign out of the league. The Dolphins traded for the tight end earlier this month, and it remains to be seen what Waller has left in the tank and if he can stay healthy. He's an intriguing late-round fantasy option however, and there are targets to be claimed behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in the Miami passing offense.

McLaurin didn't report for Commanders training camp Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Washington required its veterans to report to Ashburn, Va. on Tuesday, but McLaurin was the only one not present for conditioning tests. He alluded to not being on the field during a media session after filming a commercial for a local car dealership last Tuesday due to his desire for a contract extension, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. McLaurin has an average annual value of $23.2 million on his current contract, which ranks 17th among NFL WRs. He's coming off a 2024 campaign in which he notched a career-high 13 touchdown catches in 17 regular-season games and also has strung together five straight seasons with 1,000-plus receiving yards.

Robinson recently said one of his goals this season is to create more explosive runs, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Robinson averaged an impressive 4.8 yards per carry last season, but he produced just one run of longer than 30 yards. According to Ledbetter, 31 players had multiple runs of 30-plus yards last season, and seven different players had five or more. Robinson had just 12 of his 304 carries produce 15-plus yards, as he was one of the running backs least reliant on big plays. He wants to change that heading into his third season. Robinson is a consensus top-five fantasy pick ahead of training camps.
