Vea and his representation have requested a trade from the Buccaneers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Vea is entering the final year of his current contract that is set to pay him $18 million in 2026, and his AAV of $17.75 million on said deal is 19th among interior defensive linemen. At 30 years old last season, he logged 760 defensive snaps (second most in a campaign in his career) en route to 34 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games. After Vea staged a hold-in at mandatory minicamp in mid-June, he's slated to report to training camp Tuesday with fellow Bucs veterans, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports.

The Jaguars hosted Jones on a visit Monday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

Jones is bouncing back from an Achilles' tear that he suffered in Week 10 while with the Cardinals last year, but the wideout's visit with Jacksonville suggests that his recovery is progressing well. The Jaguars' WR corps currently features Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter, so if Jones does catch on with the team he played for in 2022 and 2023, it would be in a depth role behind that quartet.

Though Parsons (knee) wasn't among the Green Bay players placed on the active/PUP list Monday, it is expected that he will be as the week progresses, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Parsons is recovering from a left ACL tear that he suffered last December, and given the timing of the injury, Demovsky suggests that the star pass rusher is unlikely to play before October. In his absence, look for the likes of Lukas Van Ness and Barryn Sorrell to be leaned on more heavily out of the gate this season.

The Packers have placed Brooks (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Brooks appears to be dealing with an undisclosed injury that was not sustained during football-related activities. The veteran third-down specialist signed a two-year extension with Green Bay this offseason and is in position to compete with MarShawn Lloyd for reserve opportunities behind starter Josh Jacobs. If Brooks' health keeps him off the field during the early stages of training camp, however, Lloyd will benefit from increased chances to secure the No. 2 backfield role.

The Colts placed Pierce (ankle) on the active/PUP list Monday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

It's not an unexpected move after Pierce underwent ankle surgery in March. His recovery is expected to linger into training camp, and it's unclear if the wideout will be ready for the regular-season opener against the Ravens in 48 days. Without Pierce and with Michael Pittman now in Pittsburgh, the Colts look extremely thin at the position. Josh Downs, Ashton Dulin and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is an unimposing top three.

The Packers have placed Kraft (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Kraft's placement on the PUP list is no surprise, as the expectation has been that the tight end would begin camp on said list despite his own stated belief of being on track for Week 1. Once Kraft is cleared for on-field activities, Green Bay will be able to activate him at any point in training camp or the preseason. Kraft said in late July that he expects to be a full-go for Week 1, and he remains a candidate for a potential extension with Green Bay before the start of the regular season. Head coach Matt LaFleur said back in May that the hope is for Kraft to get back on the practice field during the early stages of training camp.

Height was carted off the field at Monday's practice due to cramps, rather than any sort of severe injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Height has avoided any sort of worst-case scenario after being carted off the practice field Monday, and it appears that he'll be back in action for on-field drills without much, if any, delay. Both Nick Bosa (ACL) and Mykel Williams (ACL) opened training camp on the active/PUP list, giving Height a clear path to carving out a role in San Francisco's pass-rush room early in his career.

Holani and rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price have split first-team reps during the early days of training camp, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

Holani was often the first RB up for first-team reps during OTAs, and at this stage he and Price appear to have cemented themselves atop the depth chart, with Zach Charbonnet (ACL) on the active/PUP list and Emanuel Wilson seemingly in a depth role. Seahawks coaches have reportedly stressed Price growing as a pass catcher, but unless the rookie is able to make rapid improvements throughout camp, Holani could be the favorite for third-down reps come Week 1. The early-season workload split beyond that point seems like it will come down to a true competition between Price and Holani, though once Charbonnet is cleared to return Seattle could end up deploying all three to some extent.

Boutte is off to a good start early on in training camp, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Per Callahan, Boutte, who sat out parts of OTAs but reported for the Patriots' mandatory minicamp last month, has made the two best catches of training camp thus far. Following the team's offseason additions of A.J. Brown in a trade and Romeo Doubs via free agency, there's been speculation that New England may look to deal Boutte, but he remains in the mix for now, and as long as that remains the case, he'll have an opportunity to secure the role as the team's No. 3 WR ahead of Week 1. Also vying for snaps at the position that don't go to Brown and Doubs are Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism.

Height (lower body) was carted off the field at Monday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Height suffered an injury during Monday's training camp practice, and trainers appeared to be attending to both his arms and his right leg. The rookie third-round pick is competing to carve out a role at outside linebacker in Year 1 with the 49ers.
