Spears is dealing with some soreness and irritation, which caused him to depart practice early Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

There's no indication Spears is dealing with anything serious, but he may be held out of practice until his current soreness subsides. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 RB this season, and the could be more of a "1B" to starter Tony Pollard than a pure backup. Spears has 1,048 regular-season rushing yards and 873 receiving yards through three NFL campaigns, so he has the potential to make an impact in fantasy as a dual-threat asset.

The Browns placed Green (undisclosed) on injured reserve Friday.

The nature of Green's injury has not been announced. However, by being placed on the Browns' IR, the 2021 third-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Cleveland. Green has played in 37 regular-season games (19 starts) since entering the league.

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that Iheanachor (upper body) will be held out of practice until Monday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

It's not clear when Iheanachor sustained the injury, but he'll be held out of practice over the weekend and focus on rest and recovery ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against Green Bay. Iheanachor was a first-round selection of the Steelers in the 2026 NFL Draft and is battling for a starting role on the offensive line.

Echols did not participate in Friday's training camp practice due to an ankle injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Echols may have sustained the injury during a training camp practice earlier in the week. His practice participation over the next few days will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Thursday's preseason opener against the Packers.

Incoom (shoulder) recorded three tackles (two solo) during the Panthers' 33-30 win over the Cardinals in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

Incoom was cleared to play in Thursday's exhibition game after fully recovering from offseason shoulder surgery that he underwent in June, and he played a total of 42 snaps (36 on defense, six on special teams). Incoom has contributed mostly on special teams since entering the league in 2023 and will likely reprise that role for the upcoming season. He finished the 2025 regular season with 17 tackles (nine solo) across 17 games.

Way (pectoral) passed his physical and has been removed from the Commanders' NFI list as of Friday.

The pectoral injury Way was tending to was never believed to be serious, and he will now be able to get back into action during camp. He's favored to fend off fellow veteran Matt Haack to keep Washington's punting job in 2026.

Taylor (elbow) is still on the Falcons' active/PUP list but has participated in walkthroughs with the team during training camp, D. Orlando Ledbetter of BowTieSports reports.

Taylor opened training camp on the PUP list while recovering from elbow and triceps injuries that caused him to miss the final five games of the regular season as a member of the Chiefs. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the Falcons' preseason opener against the Broncos on Friday, Aug. 14.

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Friday that Carter is dealing with a knee injury and that it "doesn't look great," Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

That's not good news for Carter, who entered training camp looking to earn himself a regular rotational role at defensive tackle behind Roy Lopez and Walter Nolen. Carter will undergo further tests to determine the severity of his injury, and it won't be surprising if he is ruled out for the Cardinals' preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday.

Armstrong (knee) passed his physical and has been removed from the Commanders' PUP list as of Friday.

Armstrong started training camp on the PUP list recovering from a knee injury he suffered last October, but he's now apparently back up to 100 percent. He profiles for a depth role on the edge for Washington in 2026.

Wohler has not participated in recent training camp practices due to a hamstring injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

There's no timeline of return for the 2025 seventh-rounder, who was sidelined for his entire rookie season due to a Lisfranc injury in his foot that he suffered in a preseason game in August of 2025. Given the lack of a recovery timeline, it appears Wohler is unlikely to be available for the Colts' preseason opener against the Patriots on Thursday.
