Bears GM Ryan Poles said Tuesday that Johnson is expected to miss "a few weeks" with a leg injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Johnson was placed on the active/non-football injury list this past weekend and figures to miss a good chunk of training camp after he was injured while working out away from the team. It sounds like he could miss most of the preseason. The 26-year-old cornerback started all 17 regular-season games last year and was selected to his second straight Pro Bowl.

Jordan (knee) is running at "high speeds" but is expected to be eased back in at training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jordan suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 last season and missed the remainder of the year. Now 10 months out from the injury, Jordan should be close to 100 percent health by the time Week 1 rolls around. Jordan figures to be in line to handle TE2 duties in Houston behind Dalton Schultz.

Ward (foot) has not yet been cleared to resume football activities but has resumed running, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Ward missed the final two games of the regular season last year and the Texans' two playoff contests. He needed foot surgery and is still in the rehab phase. Ward sounds likely to start training camp on the active/PUP list. He's also dealing with a legal matter, with a court date scheduled for Aug. 13.

GM Ryan Poles said Tuesday that Loveland (shoulder) is "ready to go" for the start of training camp, but there may be a ramp-up period for the rookie tight end, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Despite undergoing surgery on the AC joint in his right shoulder in January, Loveland was the first tight end off the board in this year's draft, going to the Bears 10th overall. He proceeded to miss the entire offseason program and acknowledged last week that he may not be ready once camp kicked off. The Bears seemingly will ease him in with the goal of getting him ready for Week 1. Loveland will be vying with Cole Kmet for targets from second-year signal-caller Caleb Williams to begin his NFL career.

The Giants signed Wallace (ankle) on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old safety spent last season in Seattle and appeared in nine regular-season games before his season was cut short in Week 9 due to an ankle injury that required a trip to injured reserve. Now healthy, Wallace will go compete for a third or fourth safety spot in New York behind Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin.

The Titans placed Sneed (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed dealt with quadriceps issues most of last season and played in just five regular-season contests before his season was cut short in Week 6. He missed the remainder of the year and is now recovering from a clean-up procedure he had on his knee. Sneed's Tennessee career is off to an injury-riddled start.

The Cardinals signed Johnson (hamstring) to his four-year rookie contract Tuesday.

Johnson was the 47th overall pick in the 2025 Draft back in April. He dealt with a hamstring injury during offseason workouts but is expected to be fine for the start of training camp. Johnson should immediately slide into a starting outside cornerback spot with Arizona.

Mixon, who is progressing well in his recovery from an ankle injury, is likely to be eased back into the mix in training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mixon sported a walking boot this spring after getting hurt during individual offseason training, but since then the running back has regained his mobility while ramping up his workouts. Though he could be limited to a degree early on in training camp, when 100 percent healthy he's in line to maintain his status as the top option in a Houston backfield that added Nick Chubb this offseason and returns Dameon Pierce.

The Commanders waived Wiley with a non-football injury designation Tuesday.

Wiley signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona last year but spent the 2024 campaign on the practice squad in Washington. He'll revert to the reserve/non-football injury list if he clears waivers.

Montgomery recently said he has "no concern" about Detroit's offensive line changes and is confident in new offensive coordinator John Morton.

The Lions lost center Frank Ragnow to retirement and right guard Kevin Zeitler to the Titans, leaving a training camp competition between rookie second-round pick Tate Ratledge, 2024 sixth-rounder Christian Mahogany and 27-year-old Trystan Colon, among others, for the two open spots. Morton, who was Detroit's passing-game coordinator the last two years under former OC Ben Johnson, still has an elite tackle duo and one of the best groups of skill-position players in the league at his disposal. There's always some chance the new play-caller gives Jahmyr Gibbs a few more snaps and touches at Montgomery's expense, but wholesale changes are unlikely after the Lions scored a league-high 33.2 points per game last season.
