Castro-Fields (heel) was unavailable for the Eagles' training camp practice Thursday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Castro-Fields is dealing with an apparent heel injury, and it'll force him to miss at least one practice. The Eagles will begin their preseason on the road Saturday against the Ravens, and it's currently unclear if the cornerback will be available for the contest.

The Browns waived/injured Herring (undisclosed) on Thursday.

Herring will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, will revert to the Browns' injured-reserve list for the entirety of the 2026 season. Herring's only path to seeing action this coming season will be if he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

The Packers waived Maryland (hamstring) with an injury settlement Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Maryland reverted to the Packers' injured reserve Wednesday after clearing waivers. The undrafted free agent out of SMU may be able to recover from his hamstring issue and sign with another organization during the 2026 season.

Montgomery (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with the Patriots on Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Montgomery suffered an undisclosed injury at training camp with New England, and he was waived with an injury designation Wednesday. After going unclaimed while on waivers, he will now miss the entirety of the 2026 season while on IR unless he is able to reach an injury settlement with the Patriots.

Miller is in contention for the Patriots' No. 3 running back role, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Lead candidate Terrell Jennings (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, increasing Miller's odds of securing the No. 3 role. Miller has been battling Lan Larison for second-team reps in training camp, and both players, along with Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty, will continue to compete for the opportunity to serve as the primary backup to the top duo of Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Larison is part of the competition for the No. 3 running back role, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are the Patriots' unquestioned top two backs, and Terrell Jennings (undisclosed) was the favorite for the primary depth role before being placed on injured reserve Thursday. Jennings' misfortune boosts Larison's chances of earning a spot on the 53-man roster, and he'll have to continue to battle Jam Miller, Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty.

Brooks isn't suited up for Thursday's preseason game in Pittsburgh.

Brooks will join Josh Jacobs (groin) on the sideline for the Packers' exhibition opener, leaving some combination of MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong, Damien Martinez and Jaden Nixon to man the backfield. Brooks' absence Thursday may stem from the hamstring injury that kept him on the active/PUP list until this past Sunday. In any case, he'll have two more chances to mix into a preseason contest as he vies with Lloyd for the No. 2 RB role behind Jacobs.

Hyatt (leg) will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Vikings, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Hyatt was absent from Thursday's practice session, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. The wide receiver has not returned to the field since he injured his right ankle during Monday's session. It is unclear how much time the 24-year-old will miss with the issue. After being inactive for much of the 2025 season, Hyatt will likely be a victim of cutdown day if he cannot return to the field and prove his worth soon.

Kraft (knee) appears on track to be available for the Packers' Week 1 matchup with the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kraft spent the first two days of training camp on the active/PUP list, but he's been active on the field for most practices since then, including Monday's session when he was seen running routes on air while catching passes from QB Jordan Love without a sleeve on his right knee. Said knee endured a torn ACL in Week 9 of last season, but considering Kraft's slow build-up to date in camp, Rapoport's report lines up with an appearance for the tight end in the regular-season opener. Another question surrounding Kraft is whether or not he and the Packers are able to agree to terms on a contract extension.

Huntley is expected to start Saturday's preseason opener against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran signal-caller returned to Baltimore last season after a one-year stopover in Miami in 2024, and Huntley is once again set to serve as the primary backup to Lamar Jackson this season. Huntley will likely see at least a couple of series Saturday before giving way to Joe Fagnano and potentially, the recently signed Austin Reed.
