Mitchell (undisclosed) left practice early Wednesday and did not return, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Per Christiaan DeFranco of The Daily Local News, Mitchell was shaken up after a one-on-one drill with wide receiver Hollywood Brown, but the precise nature of the injury is still unknown. If Mitchell misses more time, Kelee Ringo would be a candidate to fill the vacated reps with the first-team defense.

Coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that McMillan got "bigger and stronger" in the offseason, which has been apparent on the practice field in training camp, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

In particular, McMillan put a double move on CB Mike Jackson at Wednesday's practice, creating more separation than he would have previously after beating Jackson off the line before gathering in a touchdown from QB Bryce Young. "At the line of scrimmage, [McMillan] just hasn't really had an issue this camp," Canales added. "Getting off the line, I think that he's really translating all the work he did in the offseason." McMillan again is expected to serve as the top pass catcher in the Panthers offense this season after a 2025 rookie campaign in which he posted a 70-1,014-7 line on 122 targets in 17 regular-season games.

McNichols (quadriceps) did not participate at the Commanders' training camp practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Per Standig, McNichols is day-to-day, so it seems like the injury isn't anything severe. While the veteran is sidelined, Jerome Ford and rookie undrafted free agent Robert Henry could get more looks out of Washington's backfield.

The Ravens signed Reed on Wednesday, Quentin Corpuel of the team's official site reports.

In a corresponding transaction, Baltimore placed quarterback Skylar Thompson (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list. Reed most recently played professionally for the UFL's Dallas Renegades, and with them he threw for 1,923 yards and 21 touchdowns over 10 games as a starter.

Egbuka suffered a sprained toe during Wednesday's practice, and testing will determine the severity of the injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Egbuka limped off the practice field Wednesday after getting rolled up on by a teammate, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that the issue is considered to be minor. Upcoming imaging could change that tune, but Egbuka now seems destined to miss Friday's preseason game at the Jets along with QB Baker Mayfield, who is healthy but won't play in that contest.

Baltimore placed Thompson (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list Wednesday, Quentin Corpuel of the Ravens' official site reports.

In a corresponding transaction, Baltimore signed quarterback Austin Reed. It's still not fully clear what kind of injury Thompson is dealing with, but he's now on track to miss the entire 2026 season as he recovers.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Rice is unlikely to face NFL discipline for his probation violation this spring, Charles Goldman of AtoZ Sports reports.

The report notes that Rice's return from arthroscopic knee surgery is a bigger concern for the Chiefs right now, with the wideout perhaps not yet in game shape after being eased into drills in training camp. He probably won't play much this preseason, if at all, but Rice still has a month to get ready for a starting role in Week 1 against Denver.

Smith-Schuster (knee) did not participate during the Giants' training camp practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Smith-Schuster missed practice earlier on in camp because of the lingering knee injury as well, and it's not clear when he'll be fully healthy again. Any additional time he misses could mean an uptick in reps for veteran Odell Beckham and Isaiah Hodgins.

Carter (hand) was a full participant during the Giants' training camp practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Carter missed Monday's session due to an issue with his hand, but it doesn't look like it was anything too serious. He also tended to a minor ankle issue the week prior. Barring any further setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season versus the Cowboys.

Egbuka left Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury that's considered minor, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Egbuka limped off the field to be evaluated by trainers before watching the rest of the practice from the sideline without cleats. The Bucs are planning to rest key players for Friday's preseason game versus the Jets, so Egbuka's next chance to put on his pads will be early next week at practice.
