Elliott (knee) took first-team reps in Friday's practice after being held out of Thursday's session, Andrew Vasquez of USA Today reports.

Elliott was limited to just five regular-season games in 2025 due to a knee injury, with his last game taking place Week 8 against the Packers. He appears to be fully healthy for the start of training camp and projects to start alongside Jaquan Brisker at safety, with Darnell Savage providing depth at the position.

Simmons (elbow) is participating at the Titans' training camp, George Walker of the Kingsport Times News reports.

Simmons underwent surgery during the offseason to address an issue with his elbow, but it doesn't seem to be limiting him now that training camp has started up. He's coming off his first All-Pro season and figures to play a massive role on Tennessee's defensive line in 2026.

Graham (lower leg) is participating at the Browns' training camp, per Cleveland.com.

Graham was wearing a walking boot during minicamp back in June, but he's apparently back to full strength with training camp now underway. He projects to play a huge role on the defensive line in 2026.

The Jets waived Scott (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday.

Unless Scott gets claimed by another team during the current waiver period, he's now on track to spend the entire season on the Jets' injured reserve list. In a corresponding transaction, the Jets signed wide receiver Cam Camper.

Rolder left the Lions' training camp practice early with a leg injury Friday, Kory Woods of MLive.com reports.

It's not the start the rookie would have hoped for, but the severity of Rolder's injury is still not clear. Until he's ready to resume practicing, Joe Bachie could see an uptick in practice reps at linebacker.

McNeill left the Lions' training camp practice early with a neck injury Friday, Kory Woods of MLive.com reports.

It's not clear exactly what happened, and there's no timetable for McNeill's return to practice at this point. As long as he remains unavailable, Levi Onwuzurike will be a candidate to take the leftover reps with the first-team defensive line.

Detroit waived Horton on Friday.

Horton was elevated from the Lions' practice squad to suit up for two regular-season games in 2025, but he may now have to look for his next opportunity with a different club. In a corresponding transaction, the Lions signed veteran tight end Anthony Firkser.

Detroit signed Firkser on Friday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Lions waived tight end Zach Horton. With fellow veteran tight end Tyler Conklin (knee) on the PUP list, Firkser could get a good chance right away to prove he's worthy of a depth role in 2026.

Kraft (knee), who was activated from the active/PUP list Friday, took part in individual drills at his first practice of Packers training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Kraft is two days shy of being nine months removed from the right ACL tear that he suffered Week 9 of last season. Among his activities Friday were hitting a blocking pad, catching passes on the side and running some routes on air. Kraft relayed that before the session he convened with doctors from the University of Wisconsin, one of whom told him his knee appears "spectacular, almost like he had never seen rehabilitation like mine." During mandatory minicamp in June, Kraft stated his intention to play Week 1 at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 13, but first, his focus will be on increasing his activity level while he and his reps engage Green Bay brass on a potential contract extension.

With Jonathan Taylor being rested, Giddens took more first-team reps at Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Giddens is no threat to Taylor's status as the Colts' top back, but the 2025 fifth-rounder is competing with Seth McGowan for the No. 2 role. With that in mind, Boyd noted that Giddens has struggled a bit to catch the ball out of the backfield in team drills, but it's early on in training camp, and the Kansas State product has some time to clean that aspect of his game up. Whoever ends up being Taylor's top backup will hold minimal fantasy lineup appeal as long as he's healthy but would be a must-add should Taylor miss time for any reason.
