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.

Douglas is working with the first-team offense to begin training camp, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

The "most common grouping" Monday, according to Callahan, involved A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs out wide with Douglas in the slot. Kayshon Boutte mixed in at X receiver, and Brown moved around the formation. Right now, it sounds like the Patriots like Brown as the X, Doubs at the Z spot and Douglas working the middle of the field out of the slot. That leaves Mack Hollins, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams competing for sub-package snaps and rotational roles. Douglas played just 26.3 percent of the offensive snaps last regular season, but with Stefon Diggs out of the picture and Brown more of an outside prototype, Douglas could see his playing time come back up in 2026.

Kirk sustained a calf injury during Sunday's practice and is not practicing Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kirk walked off the field with trainers Sunday. Soft-tissue injuries are common during training camp, as players are ramping up to full speed and in pads after a long offseason. The severity of Kirk's calf strain isn't known, but consider him day-to-day. Kirk signed with the Niners in March and is expected to operate as the primary slot receiver alongside Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall this season.

Price is sharing first-team backfield work with George Holani early in Seahawks training camp, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

Price appears to be focusing on improvements in the passing game to begin his NFL career. Despite Price's first-round draft capital and superior burst, Holani has earned enough trust over his years with Seattle to manufacture a real competition for opportunities in the receiving game. With Zach Charbonnet (ACL) still working his way back from knee surgery and having begun camp on the active/PUP list, Price has a clear path to a significant role Week 1 if he can separate from Holani during camp. Emanuel Wilson, meanwhile, appears to be trending toward a depth role.

Jones (Achilles) said on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he'll be "full go to start training camp" Wednesday.

Jones said he'll be participating in 11-on-11 drills when training camp opens Wednesday, which would suggest he won't begin camp on the active/PUP list. "I'm ready to go," Jones continued. The quarterback suffered a season-ending torn right Achilles in Week 14 last season and is nearly eight months removed from the injury. Jones threw at OTAs during the spring, and his rehab has gone off without a hitch by all accounts.

Sanders (knee/ankle) is working out for the Raiders on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The 29-year-old running back spent the 2025 campaign with Dallas and rushed 20 times for 117 yards and one touchdown across four regular-season appearances before landing on injured reserve Week 5 due to a season-ending knee injury that required surgery. Now healthy, Sanders is looking for his next opportunity. He hasn't been particularly effective since rushing for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns during a 2022 regular season with the Eagles in which he was named to his lone Pro Bowl.

Tonges (foot) is participating in practice to begin training camp, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official site reports.

Tonges appears back to full health after having suffered a plantar fascia injury during San Francisco's playoff loss to the Seahawks back in January. With George Kittle (Achilles) having been placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, Tonges currently is positioned as the 49ers' top tight end. If Kittle's recovery lingers into the regular season, Tonges could kick off the 2026 campaign with a notable workload.

Hollins said Monday he'd be willing to play some tight end this season, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com reports.

The Patriots signed Julian Hill earlier in the offseason as experienced depth behind Hunter Henry, but Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury during the spring. New England used a third-round pick on Eli Raridon, but it remains to be seen if he'll develop enough to contribute right away. Hollins is 6-foot-4 and 221 pounds and known as one of the most willing blocking wideouts in the league, so it wouldn't be foreign for Hollins to play closer to the line of scrimmage to get his hands on opposing edge defenders and linebackers.

Minshew, who handled first-team reps at practice Sunday, will move back to the No. 2 quarterback role when the Cardinals return to practice Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Minshew will bump back to the backup role now that teammate Jacoby Brissett has come to terms with Arizona on a new contract that provides him a raise for the 2026 campaign. Expectations are that Minshew will kick off the regular season as the No. 2 option behind Brissett, though rookie third-rounder Carson Beck also will have the chance to compete for opportunities in training camp. Minshew is fully recovered from the season-ending knee injury he suffered while operating as the backup to Patrick Mahomes (ACL) in Kansas City in 2025.

Harrison (undisclosed) did not finish Arizona's training camp practice on Sunday due to an unknown issue, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison reportedly displayed positive chemistry with quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew on Sunday, hauling in a touchdown from the latter during team reps, but the third-year wideout wasn't able to finish the session. It remains to be seen whether Harrison is dealing with an undisclosed injury, or something as minor as conditioning. Arizona will not practice Monday, but Harrison's status will be worth monitoring when the team hosts its first padded session Tuesday.
