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.

The Packers are waiving Havrisik on Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Havrisik will be let go to make room for new kicker Lenny Krieg on the 90-man roster. Last year, Havrisik converted all four of his field-goal attempts and seven of nine extra-point tries across three regular-season games with Green Bay, and he also spent time on the team's practice squad. Kreig will provide competition for rookie sixth-round pick Trey Smack in training camp.

Coach Jeff Hafley stated Tuesday that Duck (knee) will likely be sidelined until midseason, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Duck was placed on the active/PUP list last Thursday with a persistent knee injury he suffered last October. The cornerback will seemingly be unable to participate in any training camp or preseason activities, and the Dolphins will need to rely on depth options such as JuJu Brents for opening day.

Coach Kevin O'Connell noted Tuesday that Murray and J.J. McCarthy are slated to split reps with the first-team offense during training camp, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

O'Connell has a timeline in place to announce the Vikings' starter at QB, but at this stage it's unclear how long he'll wait to make that call. For now, Murray profiles as the favorite to land the Week 1 start, but that's a narrative that could change if McCarthy looks sharp as training camp progresses.

McCarthy and Kyler Murray will split first-team reps during the early portion of training camp, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

McCarthy and Murray continue to engage in what seems like one of the league's few true quarterback competitions. Head coach Kevin O'Connell has stated that he has a timeline in place to announce a starter, but what that schedule is hasn't been revealed publicly. A 2024 first-round pick, McCarthy missed his entire rookie season due to injury and then logged an up-and-down Year 2, throwing for 1,632 yards with an 11:12 TD:INT across 10 regular-season starts in 2025.

Allar is set to work with the third-string offense in training camp, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Allar is set to compete with Will Howard, working with "the other groups" as Mason Rudolph takes snaps with the second-team offense. With Aaron Rodgers currently set to remain as the No. 1 quarterback, Allar and Howard will need to fight to take the No. 3 spot on the depth chart.

McConkey (hamstring) said he'll be "full go" for the start of training camp Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

The wideout will avoid placement on the active/PUP list after he battled a strained left hamstring during spring practices. McConkey had a down season in 2025 due in large part to the presence of Keenan Allen, who siphoned away targets in the middle of the field, but the veteran wasn't re-signed. McConkey is expected to be a featured part of new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme that is built on speed and quickness. It would be a pretty big disappointment if McConkey isn't able to improve on his 66-789-6 receiving line over 16 regular-season games from last season after he went for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie in 2024 without Allen in the picture.

The Steelers placed Porter (back) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

Porter was off to the side on an exercise bike during spring practices, and he aggravated a back issue Tuesday morning, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. There's been no indication Porter is dealing with a long-term issue. He dealt with elbow, hip and hamstring injuries last season, limiting him to 14 regular-season contests.
