    Panthers' Dan Chisena: Doesn't practice Sunday

    Chisena (undisclosed) didn't participate in Carolina's practice Sunday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Chisena is competing for a depth receiver spot after having signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers in January. The 28-year-old was seen on the sideline during Sunday's session, although the severity and nature of his injury is currently unknown.

  • Patriots' Jeremiah Webb: Sustains arm injury

    Webb suffered an arm injury during New England's practice Saturday, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

    Webb walked off the field with trainers late in the practice session, and the severity of his injury is currently unknown. The 25-year-old spent last season on the team's practice squad and will be competing for a depth receiver role once healthy.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Signs new deal with Arizona

    Brissett and the Cardinals agreed to a reworked contract Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Brissett's new deal will increase his 2026 compensation to $15.5 million guaranteed and up to $21 million with incentives, meaning he'll still become an unrestricted free agent after this season. It ends a stalemate in contract negotiations between the veteran quarterback and the Cardinals that started in mid-April right before the 2026 NFL Draft, which led to Brissett sitting out of OTAs before reporting to mandatory minicamp and training camp. Now that talks have resolved with a restructured contract, Brissett can focus his efforts toward training camp and strengthening his hold on the starting quarterback job, with Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck battling for the backup role. Brissett is coming off a career year in 2025, when he completed 64.9 percent of passes for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions across 14 regular-season games (12 starts).

  • Panthers' Chris Brazzell: Dealing with knee soreness

    Brazzell was held out of Sunday's training camp practice due to knee soreness, Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reports.

    The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, with head coach Dave Canales telling reporters Sunday that holding Brazzell out of practice was more of a precautionary move. Brazzell was selected by the Panthers in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and he is competing with Xavier Legette, John Metchie and 2025 sixth-rounder Jimmy Horn for the WR3 role behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.

  • Ryan Cooper: Gets look from Arizona

    The Cardinals hosted Cooper (undisclosed) for a tryout Saturday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Cooper was waived with an injury settlement by the Jets in August 2025. He has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2024, when he was with the Ravens, and he's attempting to catch on with a team in need of depth at cornerback.

  • Falcons' Anterio Thompson: Placed on NFI list

    The Falcons placed Thompson (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, an injury prevented Thompson from participating in offseason activities, though the nature and severity of the issue is unclear. Once fully healthy, the rookie sixth-rounder will be eligible to participate in practices.

  • Ravens' Corey Bullock: Lands on NFI list

    The Ravens placed Bullock (undisclosed) on the active/non-football illness list Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Bullock missed minicamp in June while recovering from surgery, but it's unclear whether that procedure is related to the issue he's currently working through. Bullock can be activated from the NFI list once fully healthy, allowing him to participate in training camp practices.
