Edwards (calf) is set to return to training camp after a short absence, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

Edwards hurt his calf before training camp, but the injury does not appear to be severe. The starting middle linebacker fractured his leg last season, so any leg-related issues may have to do with weakness correlated to that initial incident. In Edwards' 10 healthy starts during the 2025 regular-season campaign, he produced 67 tackles (33 solo) and five passes defensed for one interception, which was returned for a touchdown.

Levis is set to compete with Mitchell Trubisky for the backup quarterback role, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Trubisky is set to begin the season as the backup, but Coach Robert Saleh stated Tuesday that Levis will have the opportunity to win the job. Levis' last opportunity as a starter was in 2024, when he played 12 regular-season games, producing 191 completions (63.1 percent completion rate) for 2,091 passing yards and 13 touchdowns to 12 interceptions.

The Titans activated Hooker (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Hooker was placed on the active/PUP list last Thursday, but his undisclosed issue was clearly not significant, as the safety is all set to suit up for training camp. Hooker logged 81 tackles (58 solo) and produced eight passes defensed in 2025 across 16 regular-season games. The defensive back is once again set to be the starting strong safety for the Titans in 2026.

Coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Tuesday that Cousins will open training camp as the Raiders' starting quarterback, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

"When we go out to practice tomorrow, Kirk is the starting quarterback," Kubiak said. "He's the guy, and he deserves it because he's played really good football. But I want Fernando Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell to push him." This has been the Raiders' plan all along after Cousins opened spring practices as the QB1. While Cousins may get the Week 1 nod against the Dolphins on Sept. 13, Mendoza is fully expected to make rookie-year starts. Cousins made eight starts for the Falcons last season and completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,721 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions across 10 total regular-season appearances.

Jordan is past his torn patellar tendon injury and is ready to produce in 2026, Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated reports.

Jordan's run-blocking value and offensive upside make him a likely candidate for the No. 2 tight end spot behind Dalton Schultz. Before the 2021 fifth-round pick tore his patellar tendon, Jordan had accumulated 53 receptions for 532 yards and five touchdowns over 36 career regular-season games.

Stevenson (undisclosed) left the field as his teammates prepared for final sprints during Tuesday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Per Callahan, Stevenson was a full participant right up until the sprints and skipped a scheduled media availability afterward, but it's unclear what led to his early exit. If he's picked up an injury, it would open the door for TreVeyon Henderson to handle all the first-team reps in the backfield.

Douglas passed his conditioning test Tuesday and is all set for training camp, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

The third-round rookie out of Texas Tech had "tweaked something" during the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp, but the wide receiver has since recovered from the issue. Douglas' speed and size could provide a solid boundary presence for quarterback Malik Willis. The 6-foot-4 receiver will need to beat out quite a few players, including fellow rookies Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman, to receive a decent offensive snap share in 2026.

Crosby (knee) has been cleared for the start of training camp and will practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Crosby had offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus and was idle during the spring after his trade to the Ravens fell through due to medical concerns. Now recommitted to the Raiders, Crosby appears to be 100 percent headed into his eighth NFL season. He started 15 regular-season games last season before being shut down, a decision he strenuously disagreed with, and finished with 10.0 sacks among his 73 tackles, plus two forced fumbles and one interception.

Evans (ankle), pending full evaluation, likely just suffered a rolled ankle this week, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Evans has yet to be fully medically vetted, but it has begun to look like a minor issue for the tight end. If the preliminary evaluation is correct, Evans should be set to return to training camp shortly.

Coach Jeff Hafley stated Tuesday that Baker (undisclosed) likely will be out until midseason, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Baker joined the Dolphins in March as a healthy defensive back, but an unknown injury popped up in late July. With Storm Duck (knee) also set to return midseason, the team will be thin on defensive backs for opening day. JuJu Brents, Jason Marshall, Alex Austin and the remaining healthy defensive backs will have a chance to start Week 1 if they show out in training camp and the preseason.
