Richardson is thought to have recovered from the recent setback with his right throwing shoulder, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Richardson, who underwent a season-ending procedure to repair an AC joint sprain during the 2023 season, missed the final two weeks of the Colts' offseason practices in June after experiencing some soreness in his right shoulder. Subsequent rest seems to have allowed the 23-year-old to move past the issue, with James Boyd of The Athletic reporting that Richardson has resumed throwing. Richardson thus appears on track to be available for training camp, though Holder notes that it's quite possible the signal-caller will be on some form of a pitch count once he retakes the field and begins competing with veteran newcomer Daniel Jones for the team's top QB job.

Rice has been sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time (which can be served during those five years) stemming from the wide receiver's role in a multi-car crash that occurred in Dallas during the 2024 offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Now that a ruling on the matter has been handed down, the NFL could expedite its disciplinary process, with Schefter indicating that Rice is likely to receive a multi-game suspension. Rice and his teammates are scheduled to report to training camp on July 21. Per ESPN.com, Rice -- who suffered a torn right ACL in Week 4 last season -- is expected to be healthy once the team resumes practicing, but the 25-year-old's status now will need to be monitored ahead of Week 1 of the upcoming campaign, considering the possibility that league discipline could be on the way.

Harris (eye) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Chargers on Thursday.

Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Harris, who sustained an eye injury as the result of a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July, isn't expected to remain on the list long, according to Chargers GM Joe Hortiz. Once the running back is ready to return to the field, he'll be able to resume practicing, but until then 2025 first-rounder Omarion Hampton figures to see added first-team reps, with Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, Jaret Patterson and Raheim Sanders also currently in the team's backfield mix.

LaPorta said Wednesday that new Lions offensive coordinator John Morton has a "brilliant mind" and should do a great job calling plays, NFL.com's Kevin Patra reports.

This is LaPorta's first time working with Morton, who was an assistant on Ben Johnson's staff in 2022. Morton was Denver's passing-game coordinator the past two years before circling back to Detroit to replace Johnson this winter. The Lions also lost starting center Frank Ragnow (retired) and right guard Keven Zeitler (Titans) this offseason, but they retained all their key skill-position players -- an impressive group led by LaPorta, RB Jahmyr Gibbs, RB David Montgomery, WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and WR Jameson Williams. The tough competition likely means LaPorta will see less volume than what he's capable of handling after dropping from 120 targets as a rookie in 2023 to just 83 targets over 16 regular-season games in 2024. He had six or fewer targets in each of his first eight games last season, but he then got six or more targets in nine straight contests to close out the season (including the playoffs), with six TDs during that stretch.

Mims signed a contract with the Titans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Mims -- whose contract with the Titans is for two years, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, has played in 13 regular-season games for the Saints since going undrafted in 2023, recording 32 touches for 141 yards across 108 snaps on offense. The Titans have Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears locked into the top two spots on their depth chart, leaving Mims to compete with Julius Chestnut, Kalel Mullings and Tyrion Davis-Price for one or two jobs.

The Seahawks activated Waxter (undisclosed) off the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Waxter was forced to miss the start of training camp with an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again. He will spend the rest of the preseason competing for a spot on the Seahawks' roster after having signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in May.

The Seahawks activated Jackson (undisclosed) off the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Jackson is clear to resume football activities after passing his physical. The 23-year-old joined the team as an undrafted free agent back in May, and now that he's healthy, Jackson will spend the remainder of the offseason competing for a roster spot.

The Ravens placed Jones (shoulder) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Jones continues to recover from shoulder surgery and will now be forced to miss the start of training camp. The rookie third-round pick was expected to compete for the team's starting right guard job, but that is now unlikely to be the case as his status for the start of the regular season is up in the air.

The Lions waived Wilson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson landed on injured reserve back in June, just days after first signing with team, but will now head to waivers. He will look to get healthy and catch on with another club after having spent time with both the Cardinals and Giants last season, racking up five tackles (four solo) and a pass deflection across five outings.

The Seahawks activated Foster (undisclosed) off the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Foster spent the start of training camp on the NFI list but is now cleared to start practicing again. Now healthy, the 23-year-old will look to earn a spot on Seattle's roster after having signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in May.
