Hawkins (back) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.

Hawkins missed all but three regular-season games last season due to ankle and back issues. He didn't play after Week 14 but appears to be healthy headed into the 2025 offseason workout program. Hawkins was a 2023 sixth-round pick by the G-Men.

Wright (undisclosed) has been participating in the Saints' OTAs this week, Luke Johnson of NOLA.com reports.

The 24-year-old spent the 2024 season on the Saints' injured-reserve list after being hurt during the preseason. He's yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

Stroud isn't currently throwing during voluntary team activities due to a tight pectoral, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Stroud watched from the sideline Friday during practice while backup quarterback Davis Mills ran the offense. Per Wilson, Stroud's injury isn't considered a long-term problem, and the star QB could increase his activity as soon as next week. Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley downplayed the issue Friday, saying that there are "no concerns whatsoever" about Stroud, echoing what coach DeMeco Ryans stated earlier in the week.

Nubin (ankle) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.

Nubin suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 14 last season and needed surgery. Nubin started all 13 games in which he appeared in as a 2024 rookie, finishing with 98 tackles (57 solo), one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He should again start at safety alongside newcomer Jevon Holland.

Okereke (back) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.

Okereke missed the final five games of the regular season last year and underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc. He was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks and appears to be healthy enough to put in some work at the Giants' padless OTAs. Across 12 regular-season contests last season, Okereke recorded 93 tackles (47 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Okereke should remain a tackles machine in 2025.

Moore (abdomen) has been participating in Chiefs' OTAs this week, John Dillon of Chiefs Wire reports.

Moore was inactive for the Chiefs' Super Bowl loss to the Eagles due to the injury, but he's healthy again after appearing in just six regular-season contests last season. Moore was inactive from Week 8 onward in 2024 and is likely running out of chances in Kansas City as he heads into the final year of his rookie contract.

Key (hand) has been participating in the Titans' OTAs this week, Denny Simmons of The Tennesseean reports.

Key missed the Week 18 regular-season finale last season but is back to full health. The veteran edge rusher finished the 2024 season with 42 tackles (24 solo), including 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season appearances. With Harold Landry gone to New England, Key will key Tennessee's pass rush along with Dre'Mont Jones, second-round rookie Oluwafemi Oladejo and Lorenzo Carter.

Hooker (shoulder) has been participating in Titans' OTAs this week, Nick Suss of The Tennesseean reports.

Hooker missed the final two games of the regular season with a shoulder issue but is apparently back to full health. He turns 27 in two weeks and is coming off a 2024 campaign that saw him finish with 71 tackles (47 solo) and nine pass breakups, including a team-leading five interceptions. He was the only member of the Titans to record multiple interceptions. Hooker should again slot in as Tennessee's top free safety.

Brown (knee) participated in Thursday's organized team activities, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Brown sustained a knee injury in Seattle's Week 18 win over the Rams, but he now appears to be past the issue. The 27-year-old inked a deal with San Francisco in mid-March after spending the first four years of his career with the Seahawks. Last season, Brown appeared in 13 regular-season games and tallied 26 total tackles and one pass defended across 282 defensive snaps. Now with the 49ers, he's expected to play a depth role in the secondary in 2025.

Green (groin) participated in Thursday's organized team activities, Grant Cohn of Spots Illustrated reports.

Green exited the 49ers' 2024 season finale early due to a groin issue, but his participation in Thursday's OTAs suggests he's now past the injury. The 2024 second-round pick from Florida State appeared in all 17 of San Francisco's regular-season games last season, recording 61 total tackles and 13 passes defended, including one interception. Now healthy again, Green is expected to serve as one of the 49ers' top outside cornerbacks in 2025.
