Dulcich (undisclosed) is practicing Thursday in a red non-contact jersey, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Dulcich hasn't been cleared for taking contact yet, but it's encouraging to see him participating in practice to some extent after being labeled day-to-day Tuesday. Once healthy, Dulcich is expected to operate as the top receiving tight end in a new-look Dolphins offense that lacks an established pecking order among its pass catchers.

Ogunbowale signed a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday.

After a four-year run in Houston, Ogunbowale will head to Las Vegas and will battle for a backup running back job in training camp and the preseason. The 32-year-old has averaged just 3.4 yards per carry for his career, but he's been serviceable on passing downs and has found a spot on NFL rosters each of the past nine seasons mainly because of his contributions on special teams. In Las Vegas, Ogunbowale looks set to compete with third-year player Dylan Laube and undrafted rookie Roman Hemby for the third spot on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and fourth-round rookie Mike Washington.

Murray impressed at Wednesday's practice, connecting on multiple deep passes and showing off his speed on scrambles, according to SI.com's Jason Harmon.

The report suggests Murray may be putting some distance between himself and J.J. McCarthy, who reportedly has struggled at training camp while sharing the first-team reps. Reports on Murray also hadn't been great, at least until Wednesday, but he seems to be trending in the right direction, taking the lion's share of the snaps with the starters during Wednesday's practice, per The Minneapolis Star Tribune. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said in July that he has a timeline in place to name his Week 1 starting QB, but he didn't share that timeline with the media.

Egbuka (lower body) will participate in Thursday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Egbuka was held out of the Buccaneers' most recent session Tuesday night due to lower body soreness, but the second-year wideout is apparently feeling healthier after a couple days of rest and recovery. After posting a 63-938-6 receiving line as a rookie while playing all 17 games for Tampa Bay, Egbuka could see a boosted profile in the passing attack in 2026 with longtime No. 1 wideout Mike Evans now playing in San Francisco.

Gibbs (back) took part in the Lions' walkthrough and stretch Thursday before taking part in conditioning work on a side field during practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

After Gibbs arrived at the Lions' facility in full uniform, he appeared poised to take part in his first practice of training camp, but he's apparently not ready to get involved in drills just yet. Gibbs is managing what appears to be a minor back issue, though his desire for a long-term contract extension may also be a factor in keeping him from practicing. With the Falcons' Bijan Robinson and Colts' Jonathan Taylor securing new contracts this week, Gibbs could be next in line to put pen to paper on a new deal.

Gibbs (back) was in uniform and taking reps during the early walkthrough portion of Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Gibbs, who coach Dan Campbell previously noted was dealing with a "little bit of a back" issue that cropped up during conditioning tests, has been looking for a new deal with the Lions, so his presence at practice, in any capacity, is notable. However, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, after the team's walkthrough and stretch, Gibbs went to a side field to work with a trainer, so it appears as though the running back may not participate in the rest of Thursday's session after all.

Taylor agreed to terms Thursday with the Colts on a two-year, $44 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter relays that the deal is worth up to $47 million and includes $39 million guaranteed. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Taylor's new deal is the largest-ever third contract for an NFL running back, setting the stage for the 27-year-old to continue working as the undisputed lead option in a Colts backfield that also includes DJ Giddens, Seth McGowan, Ulysses Bentley, Anderson Castle and Roydell Williams. With both Taylor and Bijan Robinson now having landed extensions, attention turns to Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, another top-tier running back looking for a lucrative new pact ahead of Week 1.

Garrett (lower body) participated in the Rams' training camp Wednesday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Garrett made his return to the field after having been sidelined for the last several practice sessions due to a lower-body injury. The 2017 first-round pick was traded to Los Angeles from Cleveland earlier in the offseason and will look to bolster the Rams' pass rush during the upcoming campaign.

Stephens (neck) participated in the Jets' training camp Wednesday, Amanda Vogt of the team's official site reports.

Stephens was dealing with a neck injury at the end of last season that forced him to miss the Week 18 loss to the Bills. The 28-year-old is once again expected to serve as one of the Jets' starting cornerbacks during the upcoming campaign.

The Lions activated Conklin (knee) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Conklin landed on the PUP list late last month due to a knee injury but is now healthy again. The 30-year-old is competing with Brock Wright for the team's backup tight end role behind Sam LaPorta.
