The Bears activated Elliott (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Tuesday.

Elliott has not yet participated in training camp, being held out of Tuesday's session due to a lingering undisclosed injury. The rookie fifth-rounder should be back in action shortly after being activated and is likely set to be a special-teams contributor and lower-priority depth option at linebacker throughout the 2026 season.

The Bears activated Hicks (shin) from the active/PUP list Tuesday.

Hicks' activation means he is likely close to returning to daily practice activities. The safety was held out of practice Tuesday but will likely get back to action in time for the regular season. The backup strong safety is set to be a veteran presence behind first-round pick Dillon Thieneman.

Cook (undisclosed) participated during the Bengals' training camp practice Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Cook has missed time after suffering an apparent hamstring injury earlier in August, but it now looks like he's back in football shape. Despite whether he plays in Friday's preseason game at Philadelphia, it seems like he's trending toward being available for Week 1 of the regular season, barring any setbacks.

The Buccaneers placed McKnight (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

McKnight suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday night's preseason game against the Chiefs. The rookie defensive lineman will now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The Buccaneers signed rookie wide receiver Matthew Henry in a corresponding move.

The Vikings waived/injured McGlothern (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

McGlothern has appeared in 15 games for the Vikings over two seasons, logging 84 total snaps. The cornerback will likely clear waivers and revert to the team's injured reserve list. If he does revert to IR, McGlothern will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Arizona signed Froholdt to a two-year, $20 million contract extension Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

The deal will keep the veteran center on the Cardinals' books through the 2028 season. Froholdt has played 17 games with Arizona in all of the past three years, and he figures to continue to start as their center as long as he remains healthy.

Rogers (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's practice session, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The undrafted free agent out of TCU has been working toward a potential roster spot since signing with the team in late August. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end was always a long shot to make the roster with Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker holding down the top three roles, but an injury that keeps Rogers out of key competitive reps only hurts his chances of making the 53-man roster.

Jackson (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to Philadelphia's injured reserve list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jackson was not claimed by another squad after the Eagles waived him with an injury designation Monday, and he now could spend the whole 2026 campaign on IR. Jackson left Saturday's preseason game at New England in an ambulance, but his CT scans came back negative.

Mapu (undisclosed) reverted to the Texans' injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mapu was waived with an injury designation Monday and went unclaimed. The linebacker will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Lions released Blackshear (undisclosed) from their injured reserve list with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Detroit placed Blackshear on its injured reserve list Monday, and the club is now cutting ties with him altogether just one day later. Once he's deemed healthy enough for football activities again, he'll be eligible to suit up for any team willing to sign him.
