Lenoir (shoulder) participated in Sunday's training camp practice, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lenoir was held out of Saturday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but the sixth-year cornerback was cleared to return for Sunday's session. He's projected to start opposite Renardo Green (hamstring), with Nate Hobbs (groin), Siran Neal and Jack Jones providing depth at the position. Lenoir finished the 2025 regular season with 61 tackles (39 solo) and five pass defenses (including two interceptions) across 17 games.

Thompson (undisclosed) was on the field for Sunday's training camp practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Thompson was sporting a non-contact jersey during Sunday's session, but it's a positive sign after he was held out of Saturday's practice due to an unspecified injury. The rookie fourth-rounder is battling for a rotational spot in the Chargers' offense, and he'll look to make his case for regular playing time in Thursday's preseason finale against the Rams. Thompson has caught three passes on eight targets for 39 yards through two preseason games, adding one punt return for 12 yards.

The Chargers signed Jennings to a contract Sunday.

Jennings was a fourth-round selection of the Seahawks in the 2019 NFL Draft, but his lone appearance in a regular-season game came in his rookie campaign as a member of the Dolphins. The last time he was on an NFL roster was in 2023 with the Panthers in training camp, and he's been brought in by the Chargers to provide wide receiver depth due to injuries to Quentin Johnston (lower body), Tre' Harris (undisclosed) and Brenen Thompson (undisclosed). A strong performance in training camp practices over the coming week could be enough for Jennings to stay in Los Angeles as a member of the practice squad.

The Browns placed Wright on injured reserve Sunday due to a ruptured Achilles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Wright picked up the injury during Thursday's joint practice with the Bills during a one-on-one drill with offensive tackle Spencer Brown. Follow-up tests revealed the extent of Wright's injury, which will sideline the 2022 third-rounder for the upcoming season. Isaiah McGuire is slated to start at defensive end opposite Jared Verse for the upcoming season, with the Browns adding depth to the position by signing Derek Barnett to a one-year contract.

McCaffrey (undisclosed) was in uniform for Sunday's practice but did not participate in team drills, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey had been sidelined this preseason while dealing with general "tightness." His presence in uniform is a positive step, but the 49ers appear to still be managing the running back's undisclosed issue. It's also unlikely that he'll suit up for San Francisco's preseason finale versus the Raiders on Thursday, so it will be worth monitoring when/if he returns to practice as a full participant ahead of the regular season. The 49ers will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Barnett and the Browns agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $5.5 million Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The move fortifies the Browns' depth at defensive end after Alex Wright (Achilles) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Barnett appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Texans in 2025, finishing with 21 tackles (13 solo), including 5.0 sacks. With Wright on IR, Barnett figures to serve in a rotational role at defensive end for the Browns behind starters Jared Verse and Isaiah McGuire.

Head coach Jeff Hafley said Sunday that he's "hopeful" that Ewers (groin) will return to practice this week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Ewers sustained a groin injury during the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Commanders, and the injury prevented him from playing in Saturday's 26-3 loss to the Giants. A return to practice this week is crucial for the 2025 seventh-rounder, as it would put him on track to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons. Ewers is currently leading the backup quarterback competition against Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski.

Gordon injured his ribs during the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

The injury is a minor one, as head coach Jeff Hafley relayed Sunday that Gordon would have been cleared to return had it been a regular-season game. Gordon's practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, as it will indicate whether the 2025 sixth-rounder will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons. He is competing against Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane.

Moore sustained an ankle injury during the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Moore sustained the injury early in the first quarter while in pass coverage, which prompted his removal from Saturday's exhibition contest. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley told reporters Sunday that Moore will "miss some time" due to his ankle injury. While a firm timeline wasn't provided, it seems like the rookie fourth-rounder will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons, with the hope that he'll be available for Week 1 against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Jackson (undisclosed) was discharged from a local New England hospital and joined his Eagles teammates for their return trip to Philadelphia following Saturday's 24-21 loss, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson suffered a serious injury on the opening kickoff after his head appeared to collide with Lan Larison's leg. Jackson left the field in an ambulance before being taken to a local hospital, where CT scans came back negative. It's the best-case scenario for the Arkansas product, but given what transpired Saturday, it seems unlikely that Jackson will play in Friday's preseason finale against Cincinnati.
