Banks (ankle) has been participating in training camp practices, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.

Banks was a first-round selection of the Saints in the 2025 NFL Draft and started in all 17 regular-season games last year. He suffered an ankle injury during the Saints' regular-season finale against the Falcons in early January, but he is fully healthy for the start of training camp. Banks figures to keep his starting role at left tackle for the 2026 campaign.

Harris (knee) has been participating fully in training camp practices, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

A sixth-round selection of the Titans in the 2025 NFL Draft, Harris appeared in 14 regular-season games (five starts) last year and logged 28 tackles (18 solo), five pass defenses and one forced fumble. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in late December but is fully healthy for training camp, where he will look to solidify a starting role in the secondary for the 2026 campaign.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Taylor (elbow) is progressing well and that he hopes he can return in the next few days or weeks, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor is still working to come back from the triceps and elbow injuries that kept him sidelined for the last five games of the 2025 campaign, and it looks like he could be close to a return to action. He projects to start at right tackle for Atlanta once he's healthy.

The Bills waived Owens on Friday.

The move corresponds with the Bills signing cornerback D.J. Miller. Owens has yet to appear in a regular-season game since signing with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in May of 2025. He'll look to catch on with a team in need of depth at safety.

Mahogany (undisclosed) was removed from the Lions' active/non-football injury list Friday after passing his physical, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

Mahogany has been cleared to practice after recovering from an undisclosed injury. He's slated to serve as the Lions' starter at left guard for the 2026 season, with his main competition coming from Juice Scruggs and Miles Frazier.

Bosa (ACL) is doing individual work on the side at the 49ers' training camp, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

Bosa apparently still isn't ready for team drills, but he continues to trend in a positive direction as training camp rolls on, drawing praise from teammate Trent Williams, per Wagoner. When healthy, he figures to be the key to a San Francisco plan to fix a pass rush that was among the worst in the league in 2025.

Hardy (illness) was removed from the Saints' active/non-football injury list Friday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hardy is now clear to participate in training camp practices and preseason games as he he looks to make a case for a spot on the Saints' 53-man roster for the 2026 season. He signed with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in late April following his final college season at North Carolina, when he mostly contributed as a run blocker and finished with six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns across five games.

Walthall (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Friday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction report.

Now that he's on injured reserve, Walthall will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Jets. Walthall joined the Jets on June 8 after being let go by the Texans four days prior. He spent the last two years of his college career with Incarnate Word but did not hear his name called during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Green Bay waived Rice (undisclosed) from its NFI list with a non-football injury designation Friday.

Rice was claimed off waivers by the Packers back in May, but he's now on track for free agency unless he's scooped up by a different club during the current waiver period. His last regular-season action came with the Chargers back in 2024, when he logged three offensive snaps over three games.

Anudike-Uzomah is participating at the Chiefs' training camp, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Per Goldman, Anudike-Uzomah is standing out at camp so far and drawing praise from his head coach and defensive coordinator. He'll be competing with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas for a starting role on the edge opposite George Karlaftis in 2026.
