Milum (undisclosed) is expected to return to practice next week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Per the Jaguars, Milum is day-to-day, but it looks like he'll be out for Friday's preseason game versus the Panthers. In that contest, 2025 seventh-rounder Jonah Monheim could see an uptick in snaps as a result of Milum's absence.

Schrauth (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Schrauth sprained his knee in early August. The guard remains sidelined with a brace, and it is unclear when he will return to the field. The rookie fifth-rounder will not have much time to make his case for the 53-man roster once he regains his health, so he is a strong candidate for season-ending injured reserve.

Blue missed Tuesday's joint practice with the Saints due to a shoulder injury, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Blue handled 10 touches in the Cowboys's preseason opener last weekend, amassing 34 yards. He's expected to get plenty of run this preseason in his battle for the RB2 job behind Javonte Williams, but if Blue is unable to play through a shoulder issue this coming Saturday against the Cardinals, Malik Davis and Phil Mafah (chest) would likely get additional chances to state their case for the job.

The Seahawks hosted Diggs for a tryout Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Seahawks have been in search of additional talent at cornerback. Former Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is set to sign with the team, but the league plans to place him on the Commissioner's Exempt List once he signs due to his felony robbery and kidnapping charges. The situation with Arnold likely has the team turning to other options, with former 2021 All-Pro Diggs as one of the market's most alluring free agents. If Super Bowl champion coach Mike MacDonald wants to take a chance on the 27-year-old, Diggs could see a career revival in the NFC West.

Calloway (undisclosed) reverted to the Buccaneers' injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Buccaneers waived Calloway with an injury designation Monday. The running back ended up clearing waivers and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The team signed Barika Kpeenu on Sunday, potentially as a preseason replacement for the fallen running back.

Bates (undisclosed) reverted to the Browns' injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bates was waived with an injury designation Monday and ended up clearing waivers. The tight end's move to waivers and subsequent move to IR made room for the team to sign his 2026 replacement, Jermaine Terry. Bates will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Colts worked out Odukoya (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Odukoya finished the 2025 season on the Patriots' injured reserve list, but he now seems to be back in football shape. His last regular-season action was with the Titans in 2024, when over three games, he played 36 total snaps, 35 of which were on special teams.

Kalinic (knee) reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Kalinic was waived/injured by the Bears on Monday and cleared waivers. The tight end suffered a knee injury during last Saturday's preseason win over the Browns. Kalinic will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury designation.

Arizona removed Yeboah (hamstring) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Yeboah was on track to spend the whole 2026 season on IR with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Cardinals' preseason opener, but he'll now hit free agency instead. His last regular-season snaps came in 2024 with the Jets, when over nine games he caught five of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

The Bills signed Gaines to a contract Tuesday.

Gaines is a 6-foot-1, 312-pound nose tackle. The Bills' defense currently has standout second-year player Deone Walker set to fill the starting nose tackle role, but the team does not have much further depth at the position. Gaines is a strong space eater with a chance to fulfill a key depth role for the Bills in 2026 if he can prove himself throughout the preseason. The 30-year-old's first opportunity to show his stuff will be Saturday's showdown against the Browns. The Bills waived defensive lineman Tommy Akingbesote in a corresponding move.
