Coach Dave Canales said Thursday following the Hall of Fame Game that Legette (neck) "feels great" and is healthy, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

While Legette didn't play in the exhibition opener Thursday night against Arizona, Canales said the wide receiver is "back" and ready to return after being diagnosed with a neck stinger earlier in the week when he was carted off the practice field. With rookie Chris Brazzell (knee) already ruled out for the 2026 season, Legette will compete for WR3 duties in Carolina. He's been a disappointment through two seasons, totaling 84 catches for 860 yards and seven touchdowns across 31 regular-season games since being selected No. 32 overall in the 2024 Draft.

Turner (foot) worked out with the Ravens on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Turner suffered a foot injury and spent the 2025 season on the Lions' injured reserve. The linebacker has returned to full health, and he'll look to sign with a squad in the near future.

Bartlett (leg) was waived by the Jaguars with an injury designation Thursday.

Bartlett was carted off the field with a leg injury at practice Tuesday, and his status for the 2026 campaign is now in question. If the linebacker goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve with Jacksonville.

Pickett started the Hall of Fame Game against the Cardinals on Thursday, completing eight of 11 passes for 62 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

Pickett was in on the first three drives for the Panthers, but the first pair of possessions netted a modest 38 yards on eight plays. However, the 2022 first-round pick was able to lead Carolina to its first touchdown the third time he had the ball, connecting with four different targets while helping drive the Panthers a total of 67 yards on 10 plays. Pickett kept most of his throws close to the line of scrimmage, but he recorded 19- and 18-yard completions to John Metchie and AJ Dillon, respectively, during the scoring march. Pickett projects to serve as the primary backup to Bryce Young during the regular season, and if Thursday's performance is any indication, the former appears to be picking up head coach Dave Canales' offense well in his first summer in Carolina.

Beck started Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers and completed 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for three yards.

The rookie third-round pick had built significant momentum in training camp leading into Thursday's preseason opener, and Beck looked every bit as sharp as he'd often had during recent practices. The UM product showed immediate command of the offense by spreading the ball around to seven different pass catchers over his first two drives, and he put together a masterful march on his second possession that spanned 13 plays, 96 yards and 7:17 of game time. Beck showed off his deep ball with a 35-yard strike to Jalen Brooks during the drive, and he narrowly missed his first touchdown pass when Corey Kiner was brought down inside the 1-yard line on a catch. However, Beck would make up for it the next time he had the ball, moving the Cardinals 60 yards on four plays with the help of a 49-yard connection with Brooks and capping the drive off with a deft five-yard fade in the right corner of the end zone to Simi Fehoko. Beck played the entirety of the first half and certainly gave a nearly impeccable accounting of himself in his pro debut, and he's expected to continue seeing plenty of opportunity in Arizona's second preseason game on the road against the Raiders next Thursday.

Miller (toe) did not participate at the Saints' practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Miller is dealing with an apparent toe injury, and he is considered to be day-to-day for the time being. The Saints are set to face the Jaguars in their preseason opener Aug. 15, and Miller's availability for the game is now in question.

Treadwell (hamstring) was unavailable for practice with the Colts on Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Treadwell is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury, and head coach Shane Steichen noted the wide receiver is currently without a timetable to return. Treadwell signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis in March, and he's competing with the likes of rookie seventh-round pick Deion Burks and third-year pro Anthony Gould for a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster.

Yeboah suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable to return to Thursday night's preseason contest against the Panthers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Yeboah sustained the injury in the third quarter, and he may not be able to return to action before the end of the contest. The tight end reeled in both of his targets for 10 yards before his departure. In his absence, Teagan Quitoriano and Rivaldo Fairweather are candidates to see added reps at tight end versus Carolina.

Allen was unavailable for the Colts' practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Allen returned to practice July 31 after opening training camp on the active/PUP list with a calf strain, but he has now suffered another injury. Head coach Shane Steichen announced the injury to the media after Thursday's practice, outlining that the linebacker currently has no timetable to return. If Allen is forced to miss the team's preseason opener against the Patriots on Thursday, Austin Ajiake and West Weeks would be two of the top candidates to see an increase in workload at middle linebacker during the contest.

McCoy (biceps) has been an active participant at the Saints' training camp, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

McCoy missed the final two-plus months of the 2025 campaign after suffering a torn biceps in October against the Bears. He is now back to full health ahead of the 2026 season, and he'll be back in his starting role at center.
