The Lions waived Wilson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Wilson was just signed by Detroit on Monday. Should he clear waivers, Wilson will revert to the Lions' injured reserve list.

O'Neill (concussion) has been participating at Vikings' OTAs this week.

O'Neill left the Vikings' wild-card loss to the Rams with a concussion back in January. He's healthy and ready for a normal offseason.

The Chargers signed Dupree to a one-year contract extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The deal is worth up to $6 million. Dupree is now signed through the 2026 campaign, and the 32-year-old is coming off a 2024 in which he appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Chargers. Dupree finished the year with 28 tackles (18 solo), including 6.0 sacks, two pass breakups and one forced fumble.

Brisker (concussion) has been participating in Bears' OTAs this week, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Brisker missed a total of 12 contests last season due to concussion issues, but he appears to be back to full health, as Bair noted Brisker was flying around and "talking serious trash" at Wednesday's practice. Getting Brisker back to his normal self will be a big boost to Chicago's defense.

Jacksonville signed Smoot on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Smoot played his first seven NFL seasons in Jacksonville before signing with Buffalo for the 2024 campaign, and now he's returning to the team that drafted him back in 2017. The Jaguars don't have a surplus of depth on the edge behind starters Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen, so Smoot could actually play a notable role with his old squad in 2025.

Cleveland waived Szmyt on Wednesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Browns signed wide receiver Jaelen Gill on Wednesday. Projected starting kicker Dustin Hopkins is returning from a mediocre season in 2024, but at least for now, he no longer has any competition. Szmyt will likely look for another opportunity elsewhere.

The Seahawks waived McCollum on Wednesday.

Seattle needed the roster spot to sign undrafted rookie TE Mitch Van Vooren. McCollum also went undrafted out of North Carolina in April. He'll try to find work elsewhere ahead of training camp.

Jacksonville signed Gardeck (knee) on Wednesday, Brock Vierra of si.com reports.

Gardeck missed Arizona's last 10 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL in Week 7 versus the Chargers. Now, he's getting a fresh start with a new team. With that said, he might not be a lock to make the Jaguars' final 53-man roster for 2025, especially given that they just added Jack Kiser in the fourth round of the draft.

Ismail (undisclosed) is participating during OTAs, Matt Aguirre of the Raiders' official site reports.

Ismail missed half of the 2024 season with an undisclosed injury, but it's not bothering him anymore with offseason workouts now underway. He has yet to make his regular-season NFL debut, and he has his work cut out for him to earn a place on Las Vegas' final 53-man roster for 2025.

Bennett (shoulder) is participating during OTAs, Matt Aguirre of the Raiders' official site reports.

Bennett sat out the last seven weeks of Las Vegas' 2024 season due to a shoulder issue, but he's now back in action for offseason workouts. He had become a regular starter at corner last year before getting hurt, and he'll probably play a significant role again in 2025, but he'll now have to compete for snaps with rookie third-rounder Darien Porter and FA acquisition Eric Stokes.
