Moore (groin) was an active participant at the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.

Moore was sidelined with a groin injury throughout the past week, but he was able to work back into practice Thursday. The cornerback was selected in the fourth round of this year's draft, and he now appears likely to make his debut with Dallas on Saturday against the Seahawks in the team's preseason opener.

Barham (groin) is nearing a return to practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Barham has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury at practice Aug. 6, and he is expected to be unavailable for the team's preseason opener Saturday in Seattle. The 22-year-old seems likely to be back on the practice field next week.

The Giants waived/injured James (undisclosed) on Thursday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

James will be placed on waivers, and if he remains unclaimed, will revert to the Giants' injured-reserve list. Once on IR, the cornerback will remain there for the entirety of the 2026 season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

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.
