The Patriots placed Webb (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Webb joined New England as an undrafted free agent in late April and is a longshot to make the team's season-opening roster. As such, it will be important for him to be medically cleared to play relatively soon. Webb can be activated from the NFI list and begin practicing as soon as he passes a physical.

New England placed Minkins (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Minkins signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent following April's NFL Draft. He has a narrow path to a roster spot, so it will be important for Minkins to come off the NFI list as soon as possible in order to be able to begin practicing and playing in preseason games.

The Patriots have placed Davis (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Davis won't be able to practice or participate in preseason games while on the NFI list, but he can be activated whenever he's medically cleared. The veteran cornerback signed with New England in March and is expected to be one of the team's starting cornerbacks in his first year with the club.

New England placed Tavai (calf) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Tavai hurt his calf during OTAs in early June and isn't yet ready to practice. He can be taken off the PUP list whenever he's medically cleared, at which point he'd be eligible to practice and participate in preseason contests.

The Patriots placed Lowe (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

It's not clear what type of issue Lowe is dealing with, but this move isn't necessarily an indication that he won't be ready for the start of the campaign, as players placed on the PUP list during the preseason can begin practicing and participating in games as soon as they are medically cleared.

New England placed Hooper (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Hooper is among a group of four Patriots who were moved to the PUP list Saturday. Players on the list are eligible to return to practice and participate in preseason games as soon as they are medically cleared. Hooper re-signed with New England in March and, if healthy, is expected to be part of a tight-end tandem with Hunter Henry this season.

The Patriots placed Hollins (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

It's not clear what type of injury Hollins is dealing with, but he won't be practicing to begin camp. However, he's eligible to come off the PUP list and begin practicing as soon as he's medically cleared. Hollins signed a two-year deal with New England in March and is expected to compete for targets with the likes of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, when healthy.

Smith (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Jets on Saturday.

Once Smith is ready to resume practicing, he can return from the active/NFI list at any time during training camp and the preseason. The South Carolina State product signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in April after leading the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with 92 tackles in 2024. To make the team, Smith will likely need to get back on the field as soon as possible.

Charles (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Jets on Saturday.

The wide receiver and special teamer tore his ACL in Week 14 of the 2024 campaign and ended the season on injured reserve. It remains unclear if he'll be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign, though he can return from the PUP list once he's ready to practice. Charles has played on more than 200 special-teams snaps in each of his two seasons with the Jets.

Johnson (Achilles) was put on the active/PUP list by the Jets on Saturday.

This move was expected, as Johnson tore his Achilles in Week 2 of the 2024 campaign and still had not returned by OTAs in May and June. At the same time, Jets coach Aaron Glenn said in June that Johnson should be ready for the start of the regular season, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Two years ago, the defensive end recorded 55 tackles (36 solo), including 7.5 sacks, and seven pass breakups.
