Dial (knee) is participating during the Patriots' OTAs, Sophie Weller of USA Today reports.

Dial spent the whole 2025 season on IR after tearing his ACL during training camp, but he's now back on the practice field with his teammates. In his rookie year in 2024, he played 60 snaps on defense and 363 snaps on special teams.

San Francisco placed Forrest (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list Thursday.

It's not clear what kind of injury Forrest is dealing with, but he's now on track to spend the entire 2026 season on IR unless he negotiates an injury settlement with the 49ers. His absence could open up more opportunities for rookie undrafted free agents Jalen Stroman and Larry Worth.

Vera-Tucker (triceps) is participating in organized team activities, Darren Hartwell and Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston report.

Though he's not yet participating in 11-on-11 drills, Vera-Tucker has been good to go for "half-speed periods or periods with no defense," per Perry. The offensive guard missed the entire 2025 campaign with a torn triceps and has played in just 43 regular-season contests since being drafted in the first round by the Jets in 2021.

Campbell (knee) is participating during the Patriots' OTAs, Darren Hartwell and Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston report.

Campbell is taking reps with the first team and is moving well, per Perry. Campbell suffered a torn right MCL in Week 12 at Cincinnati last year, but he was able to return for New England's regular-season finale and postseason run. He just turned 22 in January and will be looking to take a step forward as the Patriots' starting left tackle in 2026.

Miller (ankle) is participating in OTAs, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

The left tackle started four games last season before suffering a hairline fracture to his ankle in a September matchup with the Bears. Miller was able to practice near the end of the regular season, though, so his participation in OTAs is perhaps not a surprise. The veteran has started 112 of the 114 games he's played in during his eight-year career.

Hinton (back) is participating during the Eagles' OTAs, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

On paper, Hinton's length (6-foot-6, 34-inch arms) makes him better suited for work at tackle, but even still, his path to playing time might be clearer inside, given Philadelphia's offensive line personnel otherwise. Hinton figures to be a depth option if he can earn a spot on the 53-man roster for 2026.

Lampkin (knee) is participating in OTAs, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports.

The Eagles claimed Lampkin off waivers last August but kept him on IR for the entire season. He's currently in competition with Drew Kendall for the backup center spot behind Cam Jurgens.

Jackson (back) underwent surgery during the offseason to address an injury he sustained last year, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Jackson was only able to appear in six games for Miami in 2025 due to various injury concerns, so it's not too surprising that he needed extra attention from physicians once the campaign concluded. When healthy, he projects to start at right tackle for the Dolphins in 2026.

Lampe (undisclosed) is participating during the Patriots' OTAs.

Lampe spent the entire 2025 season on New England's injured reserve list, but he's apparently now in good enough shape to work with the team in at least a limited capacity. After the Patriots signed fullback Reggie Gilliam to a three-year contract during free agency, Lampe could be a longshot to make the final 53-man roster for 2026.

Bosa (knee) told reporters Thursday that he expects to be ready for training camp and the regular season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The five-time Pro Bowler is recovering from the torn ACL that he suffered during Week 3 of last season. Bosa underwent successful surgery last September after the injury and has offered nothing but positive updates since then.
