Robertson (arm) has been a full participant at OTAs, indicating that his left humerus fracture is fully healed, Jimmy Liao of USA Today Lions Wire reports.

Robertson had surgery in January to repair the broken humerus he sustained in Detroit's divisional-round loss to Washington. He set career highs with eight passes defensed and 50 tackles during the 2024 regular season and should remain a contributor in the secondary for the Lions in 2025.

Robinson (calf) is participating in OTAs.

Robinson has recovered from the calf injury he suffered in Carolina's final game of the 2024 season. He projects to play in a rotational role along the defensive line after posting career highs with 5.5 sacks among his 80 tackles last season.

Barno (shoulder) is participating in OTAs.

Barno has recovered from the shoulder injury that landed him on IR to close out the 2024 season. The 2022 sixth-round draft pick will compete for a depth role at linebacker after recording seven tackles (four solo) across five appearances last season.

Evans (ribs) has been participating in OTAs, Jeff Hawkins of The Charlotte Post reports.

Evans is working with the second-team defense to begin OTAs. He has recovered from the rib injury he suffered in Carolina's 2024 season finale. Evans could earn a larger role in the secondary with a strong camp.

Corbett (biceps) has been participating in OTAs, The Charlotte Observer reports.

Corbett has healed and is in a training camp battle against Cade Mays for the starting center role. Corbett re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year contract in March after a torn biceps ended his 2024 campaign in Week 5.

Mullings (abdomen) has been participating in OTAs.

Mullings was limited at rookie minicamp earlier in May while recovering from core muscle surgery, but the rookie sixth-round pick appears to have shed those limitations at OTAs. He'll be competing in camp against Julius Chestnut and Tyrion Davis-Price for a depth role in a Titans backfield led by Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

Dean (knee) has been participating in OTAs.

Dean missed five games in the 2024 regular season while battling injuries to his knees and hamstring, then a knee injury led him to exit prematurely from Tampa Bay's season-ending loss to the Commanders in the NFC wild-card round. The starting cornerback has regained health heading into the 2025 season.

Lawrence (foot) has been participating in OTAs, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Lawrence made only a brief cameo along with some other key pieces on defense, but that's enough to indicate that the veteran pass rusher is no longer hampered by the foot injury that sidelined him after Week 4 of the 2024 season. The injury didn't deter Seattle from signing Lawrence to a three-year, $42 million contract in March.

Payne (knee/finger) has been participating in OTAs, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Payne was unable to participate in Washington's NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles, but he has recovered from his injuries ahead of the 2025 campaign. The defensive tackle has drawn praise from Washington's coaching staff for his leadership in the offseason, and Payne projects to be an important piece of the defense after recording 4.0 sacks in the 2024 regular season.

Barnes (ankle) has been participating in OTAs.

Barnes sat out the entire 2024 campaign due to an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick has recovered ahead of the 2025 campaign. Barnes appeared in four games as a rookie but played exclusively on special teams. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Jets in training camp.
