Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Injury-free entering camp
Collins said his workload limitations during the offseason were not injury related, and that he was simply being rested ahead of training camp, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
The wideout has yet to play a full 17-game slate in his NFL career, so the organization's desire to make sure he's 100 percent healthy ahead of Week 1 is somewhat warranted. The 27-year-old Collins has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past three seasons and remains the clear No. 1 option for C.J. Stroud in the passing game.

Jordyn Brooks LB | MIA
Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Agrees to three-year extension
Brooks and the Dolphins agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Brooks led the NFL with 183 total tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, last year while playing all 17 regular-season games, and he added three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He had been heading into the final year of his contract, but instead Brooks will remain with the Dolphins as a long-term pillar for the defense. The veteran LB has entrenched himself as a high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats, and Miami also brought in a younger player for him to mentor in the form of 2026 second-round pick Jacob Rodriguez.

Sam LaPorta TE | DET
Lions' Sam LaPorta: Primed for TE-friendly scheme
LaPorta (back) is expected to be full go for training camp after he was limited during OTAs and minicamp while rehabbing from back surgery, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
LaPorta remains Detroit's top tight end after a 2025 regular season in which he was limited to nine games due to a herniated disc, and the arrival of new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing could be especially relevant for his fantasy outlook. Under Petzing, the Cardinals' offense leaned heavily on multiple TE packages last year, and Trey McBride put together a monster 126-1,239-11 campaign. As has been the case in recent seasons, the main thing clouding LaPorta's ceiling will be competition, with wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa, plus Pro Bowl RB Jahmyr Gibbs, all looking for targets from Jared Goff as well.

Bo Nix QB | DEN
Broncos' Bo Nix: Still on track for start of camp
Nix (ankle) is expected to be good to go for the start of training camp, Sean Keeler of The Denver Post reports.
Nix was limited during the offseason program while working his way back from ankle surgery and a follow-up procedure, being limited to individual work and 7-on-7 drills at mandatory minicamp. The expectation has been that Nix will be ready to practice without restrictions by the start of training camp, and it appears the third-year quarterback's recovery is still on an encouraging track. Veteran players will report for training camp for the Broncos on July 28, per Jared Koch of SI.com.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Says he'll be ready for camp
During his annual youth football camp, Irving (shoulder) told Mark Skol, Jr. of FOX13News on Sunday that he will be good to go for training camp.
Irving is bouncing back from offseason shoulder surgery, but it looks like the running back will be ready to go once training camp begins, with the Buccaneers potentially easing him back into the mix. Once Irving is deemed full-go, he'll have a chance to reestablish his standing as the top option in a Tampa Bay backfield that also includes Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker.

Kenny McIntosh RB | SEA
Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Placed on PUP list
The Seahawks placed McIntosh (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
McIntosh is continuing to recover from a left ACL tear suffered last July, and it appears the issue will cause him to miss at least the early portion of training camp. Once he's healthy enough to practice, though, McIntosh will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point during camp. If he were to need more time to recover late when rosters are reduced to 53 players in late August, though, McIntosh would have to miss at least four regular-season games on the reserve/PUP list.

Tyrone Broden CB | SEA
Seahawks' Tyrone Broden: Designated for PUP list
The Seahawks placed Broden (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Broden appears to still be working his way back from the undisclosed issue that caused him to end last season on the practice squad injured list. Once healthy enough to practice, he'll be eligible to be activated from the PUP list at any point during training camp.

Nick Emmanwori SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Placed on PUP list
The Seahawks placed Emmanwori (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Emmanwori was on the field for spring and summer offseason workouts, but he now appears to be dealing with an injury in advance of training camp. Once he's deemed healthy enough to resume practicing, Emmanwori will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point during training camp. The 2025 second-round pick totaled 81 tackles (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, 11 pass breakups and an interception across 14 regular-season appearances as a rookie.

Tucker Kraft TE | GB
Packers' Tucker Kraft: May start camp on PUP list
Kraft (ACL) is likely to begin the first practice of training camp on July 29 on the active/PUP list, though the tight end expects to be a full-go for Week 1, Jason Wilde of Channel 3000 reports.
Kraft is still seemingly ahead of schedule in his rehab process, as Packers GM Brian Guteknust previously stated in May. Even if the tight end's recovery from a right ACL tear causes him to kick off training camp on the PUP list, it's possible he could be given the go-ahead to retake the practice field shortly thereafter. As Wilde reports, though, Kraft could desire a new extension before putting on the pads again. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that the Packers still hope to ink Kraft to a new long-term deal, as he's currently heading into the final year of his rookie contract. Green Bay has a history of exercising caution with player recoveries, especially from injuries such as ACL tears, but Kraft, Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur have all offered optimism about the No. 1 tight end's progress.

Devonte Wyatt DT | GB
Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Agrees to extension with Packers
Wyatt (ankle) agreed to terms Monday on a three-year, $57 million contract extension with Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wyatt, a 2022 first-round pick, had been set to play out the 2026 campaign on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal. Instead, the 28-year-old now will benefit from long-term security with the Packers. He tallied 27 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and two pass defenses over 10 regular-season games in 2025 before suffering a fractured ankle and undergoing surgery. Wyatt is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, with veteran players reporting on July 28.
