  • Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Sustains hamstring injury

    Wirfs suffered a hamstring injury Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Wirfs got hurt during a conditioning test and is currently considered day-to-day. Once healthy again, the 27-year-old will resume his role as the team's starting left tackle.

    Bengals' DJ Turner: Scuffles with Chase in practice

    Turner (calf) was active in Wednesday's training camp practice, mixing it up with Ja'Marr Chase during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Turner suffered a calf injury during the Bengals' regular-season finale against the Browns in 2025, but he was fully active in Wednesday's practice, with the 2023 second-rounder getting into the face of Chase before the two players were separated. Turner downplayed the confrontation, telling reporters after practice "brothers fight all the time. Nothing else to it." He's entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal, but it's unclear whether the talented corner and the Bengals will reach an agreement on a contract extension before the start of the 2026 regular season. Turner finished 2025 with 40 tackles (28 solo), 18 pass defenses (including two interceptions), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

  • Packers' Keisean Nixon: Nursing hamstring issue

    Nixon (hamstring) did not participate at the Packers' training camp practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Nixon picked up the hamstring injury after last season ended, although it's not clear exactly what happened. As long as he remains on the sidelines, it should mean more opportunities at practice for rookie second-rounder Brandon Cisse to make an impression.

  • Charlie Jones WR | CIN

    Bengals' Charlie Jones: Getting in reps at training camp

    Jones (ankle) is participating at the Bengals' training camp, Sam Greene and Jacob Sebastian of The Cincinnati Enquirer report.

    Jones sat out the last three games of last season because of an ankle injury, but that doesn't seem to be bothering him anymore with training camp now underway. He'll compete to hold onto his role as a primary return specialist in 2026.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: More balanced approach in 2026?

    New coach Joe Brady acknowledged this week that Cook's workload was high after the running back took 309 carries over 17 regular-season games, and the coach discussed the potential of sharing the load a bit more this season, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. Said Brady, "I don't think you ever go into each game with a mindset of, 'This is how many carries he's going to have.' But it does pile up throughout the season, and I give him a lot of credit. I would love to be able to get Ray (Davis), Ty (Johnson), Frank (Gore Jr.) those guys involved and I hope those opportunities come up this year. James was just playing at such a high level last year. And this year again we're looking at everything."

    Cook won the league rushing title last season, but it's worth noting the last five NFL rushing title winners have seen their totals decrease significantly the following season, and only two players this century (Derrick Henry and LaDainian Tomlinson) have won back-to-back titles. That's not to say Cook can't achieve high totals again, just that it's incredibly difficult to do so. In fact, his regular-season carries increased by 102 from a mostly healthy prior season. While Cook is an attractive fantasy option in this offense -- which hasn't changed much from last season and remains elite -- this is a team with its sights set on a deep playoff run, not winning another individual rushing title. Also, Brady might be inclined to throw the ball a bit more this season, as he's now the head coach instead of the offensive coordinator. The bottom line is that Cook is a great piece for any fantasy team, but the Bills may look for angles to work in his capable backups this season.

  • Erick All TE | CIN

    Bengals' Erick All: Getting eased back into action

    All (knee) has been cleared to participate at training camp in a limited capacity, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.

    It's an encouraging update for All, who was sidelined for the entire 2025 campaign after complications from a surgery to repair a ruptured ACL he suffered in November of 2024. He'll be competing with veteran Tanner Hudson and rookie seventh-rounder Jack Endries for positioning on the bottom half of the tight end depth chart in 2026.

  • P.J. Locke DB | DAL

    Cowboys' P.J. Locke: Dealing with knee issue

    Locke suffered a noncontact knee injury during a training camp practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    It's not clear exactly what type of injury Locke is tending to, and the Cowboys may not be in any rush to throw the offseason free agent acquisition back into action. In his absence, Alijah Clark could see an uptick in reps at practice in the secondary.

  • Kenny McIntosh RB | SEA

    Kenny McIntosh: Enters free agency healthy

    McIntosh (knee) was listed as passing his physical and going unclaimed on waivers Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    McIntosh was not picked up by another club after being waived by Seattle on Monday, but he's evidently healthy and ready to suit up for any team willing to sign him. He missed the entire 2025 season due to a torn ACL he suffered during training camp last year.

  • Mike Hughes CB | ATL

    Falcons' Mike Hughes: Ready for training camp

    Hughes is participating in the Falcons' training camp practices, Daniel Flick of ajc.com reports.

    Hughes ended the 2025 season on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The cornerback spent the offseason rehabbing the issue and is all set to return to the field for the 2026 season. He will rejoin a Falcons secondary consisting of A.J. Terrell, Jessie Bates, Xavier Watts (undisclosed) and Billy Bowman (Achilles), ready to assist the team in its attempt to take the NFC South title from the Panthers.

  • Mack Wilson LB | ARI

    Cardinals' Mack Wilson: Participating in training camp

    Mack Wilson is participating in the Cardinals' training camp, Jess Root of cardswire.com reports.

    Wilson seems to have recovered from his rib injury and is all set to take the field. The middle linebacker has already resumed his duties as the starter for the Cardinals' defense. The 28-year-old veteran player has been playing alongside both Cody Simon and Jack Gibbens as the two battle for reps at linebacker.
