Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Tagovailoa (undisclosed) is working through an injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

While Tagovailoa is dealing with an unspecified injury, it doesn't sound like the signal-caller will be sidelined for long. "He will be out there sooner rather than later," Stefanski noted. With Michael Penix (knee) not yet cleared for team work and Trevor Siemian having been released, Stefanski indicated that rookie UDFA Jack Strand will take the team's initial 11-on-11 QB reps at training camp practice.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Penix (knee) won't participate in 11-on-11 drills at the start of training camp, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

While Penix -- who is bouncing back from a left ACL injury -- isn't ready to work in team drills yet, the QB will continue doing individual and 7-on-7 work at practice. Once he's cleared to work fully, Penix will turn his focus to competing with free-agent addition Tua Tagovailoa (back) for the team's Week 1 starting job. With that in mind, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com relays that Stefanski noted that he doesn't know exactly when Penix will gain clearance to work fully. Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports, however, that the Falcons are optimistic Penix could be cleared in time to log preseason action.

Dimukeje (knee) has tried out with both the 49ers and Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dimukeje has recovered from the knee injury that landed him on the Giants' injured reserve last December. The 26-year-old recorded three tackles (one solo) across five games last season and will now look to find another opportunity with a new team.

The Saints placed Harris (foot) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.

Harris is still recovering from foot surgery he underwent in March. The 22-year-old signed with the team as an undrafted free agent back in May and will look to compete for a depth spot once healthy.

Medrano will miss the start of training camp due to a hamstring injury, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

It's unclear when Medrano sustained the injury, but the issue is not considered a long-term concern. The rookie sixth-rounder is competing for a depth spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster, with special teams being his clearest path to doing so.

Way will miss the start of training camp due to a pectoral injury, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

The injury isn't considered a long-term issue and does not necessitate a move to the PUP list. Way has spent his entire NFL career with the Commanders and signed a one-year extension with the team in February after being named to the Pro Bowl in 2025 for the third time in his career.

The Packers placed Stackhouse (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The nature and severity of Stackhouse's injury is unknown, but he's eligible to return to training camp practice at any time once he's fully recovered from his injury. He signed with the Packers in May of 2025 as an undrafted free agent and finished his rookie campaign with 12 tackles (two solo) across 13 regular-season games.

The Rams signed Hance (shoulder) on Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Hance is headed to Los Angeles after having spent the 2025 campaign with the Titans. The 30-year-old has recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered last October and will spend the remainder of the summer competing for a depth spot on the Rams' roster.

Dedich was placed on the Rams' active/non-football injury list Sunday due to a hand injury he suffered around July 4, Brock Vierra of USA Today reports.

The full details of Dedich's injury are still unknown, and it's still not clear how long he's expected to be unavailable. Until he's healthy enough to get back into the mix, 2024 sixth-rounder Beaux Limmer could get more consideration as a depth option on the interior of the offensive line.

The Packers placed Riley (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Riley continues to recover from a torn Achilles that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2025 regular season against the Ravens. His placement on the active/PUP list means he'll be eligible to participate in training camp practices when fully healthy. However, it's unclear whether Riley has progressed enough to return to practice or whether his absence will extend into the regular season.
