Washington signed with the Eagles on Thursday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

The wide receiver was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday after two seasons with the team. Washington recorded three catches for 37 yards and no touchdowns in 2025. He likely faces an uphill climb for a roster in a crowded Eagles receiver room.

Lloyd (knee) sat out of practice Wednesday, Nick Carboni of WCNC Charlotte reports.

The linebacker needed some medical attention due to soreness in his injured knee, per Carboni. Panthers coach Dave Canales told reporters that Lloyd should be ready for Carolina's regular-season opener. The former Jaguar signed a three-year, $42-million contract with the Panthers in the offseason after recording more than 100 tackles in three of his first four NFL seasons.

Milroe is going to start and play the entire preseason game Friday against the Chiefs, Corbin K. Smith of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

The second-year pro is firmly entrenched as the third quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock, so his status for the final preseason contest likely has more to do with developmental reps than anything else. Milroe has struggled so far in the preseason, going 11 for 19 for 88 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Giants placed Austin (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

After being carted off the field at Tuesday's practice due to an apparent right knee injury, Austin was diagnosed with a torn ACL, ensuring he'll miss the entire 2026 campaign. Odell Beckham, Braxton Berrios (undisclosed), Jalin Hyatt (leg) and Isaiah Hodgins will continue to battle for the last one or two spots at wide receiver on the Giants' active roster.

Schwesinger (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Schwesinger has been tending to an undisclosed injury since late July, but after a standout rookie campaign in 2025 in which he accounted for 156 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two interceptions among three pass defenses in 16 regular-season games, the Browns won't risk the health of the player donning the green dot in the middle of their defense.

Henderson (ankle) is expected to be available for New England's Week 1 matchup with the Seahawks, Christopher Price of The Boston Globe reports.

It was believed that Henderson was dealing with only a minor right ankle issue, and the latest report confirms that and signals that he will not miss any time during the regular season. As such, Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson figure to open the campaign in a timeshare in New England's backfield.

Rodgers isn't in uniform for Thursday's preseason contest at Buffalo, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Rodgers thus won't get any in-game reps with Pittsburgh's top wide receiver duo of DK Metcalf (hamstring) and Michael Pittman (hamstring) ahead of the regular season. Because both Metcalf and Pittman returned to the field Monday, the trio will continue to build a rapport during practices in advance of a Week 1 matchup with the Falcons on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Shakir (undisclosed) isn't in uniform for Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.

Shakir now will miss a second consecutive exhibition due to an undisclosed injury that has sidelined him for the past week. Fellow position mates Keon Coleman (foot/toe) and Tyrell Shavers (knee, active/PUP) also aren't suited up Thursday. Shakir will set his sights on getting healthy for the Bills' Week 1 road matchup with the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Jacobs (groin), who was charged Thursday with two misdemeanors stemming from his May arrest, is scheduled for an initial court appearance Nov. 17, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs is facing misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property charges, with NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy saying in a statement Thursday, "We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review." Demovsky notes that Jacobs could be subject to a suspension by the NFL, which is conducting its own investigation on the matter, adding that it's up to the league to decide whether or not to wait until the legal process is completed before any determination is made. In a statement Thursday, the Packers said, "We are aware of the charges brought against Josh Jacobs. We will continue to cooperate with the NFL as we work through the process. We will have no further comment at this time."

Coleman (right foot/toe) isn't in uniform for Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers, but he wasn't wearing a walking boot, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.

Coleman has been tending to a sprained right foot/toe that he sustained in the Bills' exhibition opener, which forced him to don a low walking boot since then. Shedding the boot is a positive sign in his recovery effort, but Coleman will join Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) and Tyrell Shavers (knee, active/PUP) as injured Buffalo wide receivers that won't suit up Thursday. Coleman will turn his focus to getting completely healthy for the team's regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 at Houston.
