Jones (knee) got reps as the starting left tackle during Cleveland's training camp Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.

Jones is healthy again after tearing his LCL last September. The 24-year-old could compete with Spencer Fano for the starting left tackle job throughout the remainder of the summer.

San Francisco waived Farmer (back) with an injury designation Wednesday.

Unless he's claimed by another club during the current waiver period, Farmer is now on track to spend the entire season on the 49ers' injured reserve list. In corresponding transactions, San Francisco also waived/injured William Bradley-King (undisclosed), and signed Quinton Bell and KJ Henry.

Malone (undisclosed) was placed on the Falcons' active/PUP list Wednesday.

The nature and severity of Malone's injury have not been announced, but the 2022 third-rounder will be eligible to participate in practice and preseason games once he's fully healthy. He contributed mostly on special teams in 2025, and logged eight tackles (two solo) and one interception across nine regular-season games.

The Packers activated Stackhouse (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Stackhouse managed to pass his physical after having spent just two days on the PUP list. With Javon Hargrave (knee) and Jordon Riley (Achilles) both still on the PUP list, Stackhouse is currently Green Bay's top option at nose tackle.

The Falcons placed Bowman (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Wednesday.

Bowman continues to progress in his recovery from a torn Achilles that he suffered this past November, and he'll be eligible to participate in training camp practices once he's fully healthy. Bowman was a fourth-round selection of the Falcons in the 2025 NFL Draft and logged 26 tackles (15 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across six regular-season games prior to his Achilles injury.

San Francisco waived Bradley-King (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday.

Bradley-King got picked up by the 49ers back in January, but he's now on track to spend the 2026 season on the team's injured reserve list unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period. In corresponding transactions, San Francisco also waived/injured Andrew Farmer (back), and signed KJ Henry and veteran Quinton Bell.

The Falcons placed Taylor (elbow/triceps) on the active/PUP list Wednesday.

Taylor is still recovering from triceps and elbow injuries that prevented him from playing in the Chiefs' final five games of the 2025 regular season. He'll be eligible to practice once he's fully healthy, but in the meantime, Wanya Morris and Michael Jerrell will both see more snaps at right tackle with the first-team offense.

Orzech is currently battling a calf injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Orzech was placed on the PUP list Tuesday with what's now being described as a hamstring injury. Green Bay will need to bring in another long snapper to fill in during Orzech's absence.

Hargrave is on the Packers' active/PUP list during training camp due to a knee injury, Matt Schneidman of the Athletic reports.

Per Schneidman, whatever happened to Hargrave's knee after the end of last season is not a long-term concern. Green Bay will likely exercise patience with the offseason free agent acquisition, potentially giving 2025 sixth-rounder Warren Brinson some chances to work with the first-team defensive line.

The Packers activated Banks (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Banks is eligible to practice again after passing his physical. The 28-year-old spent just two days on the PUP list and is now set to return to his role as Green Bay's starting left guard.
