The Browns claimed Wright off waivers from the Eagles on Tuesday.

Wright is on the Browns' 90-man roster one day after being waived by the Eagles. The Ole Miss product is a long shot to make Cleveland's 53-man roster for the upcoming season, but a strong audition in training camp and preseason games could be enough for him to stick around on the practice squad.

Browning may not play in Friday's preseason game against the Jets due to a back injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With Baker Mayfield not scheduled to play Friday, Browning was slated to serve as the team's starter, with Connor Bazelak and Jalon Daniels also in the mix for reps. However, Browning strained his back toward the tail end of Tuesday's joint practice with the Jets, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Friday's preseason opener.

The Seahawks placed Ouzts (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Ouzts has been sidelined by a neck injury, which is severe enough for him to go on injured reserve and miss the entire 2026 season. With the Alabama product done for the year, Brady Russell and Brock Lampe remain the only two fullbacks on the Seahawks' 90-man training camp roster.

Leonard will be under center for the second half of Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Anthony Richardson will draw the start for Thursday's preseason opener and play for the first half before turning the keys over to Leonard for the last two quarters. Richardson and Leonard are battling for the backup job behind Daniel Jones, though Richardson may not be with the Colts for the start of the 2026 regular season after requesting a trade from the team in the offseason. Leonard was a sixth-round selection of the Colts in the 2025 NFL Draft and started in Week 18 against the Texans, when he completed 21 of 34 passes for 270 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while turning three carries into 21 yards and a score.

Williams is making a case for a bigger role in the Jets offense with his performance in training camp, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cimini specifically noted that Williams may jump past 2026 first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper, the latter of whom has dealt with "little pitfalls. That's part of being a rookie," per receivers coach Shawn Jefferson. At the outset of camp, Williams was believed to be a return specialist and the No. 4 WR behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Cooper, but the third-year player may end up seeing more snaps than Cooper in three-wide sets. In 15 regular-season games with the Jets last year, Williams hauled in 25 of 35 targets for 182 yards and no touchdowns, while racking up 837 yards on kick returns and 396 yards and two TDs on punt returns.

Robinson has been working with the first-team offense in training camp due to multiple injuries to the 49ers' wide receiver corps, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Ricky Pearsall will miss the entire 2026 season due to a PCL injury that requires surgery. Mike Evans (quad) and Christian Kirk (calf) have also been sidelined for training camp practices, and rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling missed a couple of sessions while tending to a hamstring issue. That's given Robinson the opportunity to work with the first-team offense, and a strong showing in training camp and preseason games could earn him a consistent role for the upcoming season. The veteran wideout is coming off a disappointing 2025 campaign, though he played a key role in the 49ers' NFC wild-card win over the Eagles in January, when he caught six catches (on seven targets) for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Cook (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against Detroit, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Cook has been working through an unspecified injury since Sunday. The injury will prevent him from playing in Thursday's preseason opener, and the Bengals' next exhibition game takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Bears. Kyle Dugger and PJ Jules will both see more reps at safety alongside Jordan Battle while Cook is sidelined.

Hill (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Lions, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Hill recently sustained a hamstring injury that has caused him to be sidelined for training camp practices, and he'll aim to be available for the Bengals' second preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Bears. Tacario Davis, Josh Newton and Ja'Sir Taylor will all have the opportunity to operate in expanded roles in the secondary for as long as Hill is out of action.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Greenard (pectoral) won't be back at practice "for another couple weeks, at least," Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Greenard opened training camp on the active/PUP list due to a pectoral injury that he sustained during the offseason while lifting weights. The 2020 third-rounder is not ready to return to practice and appears to have a minimal chance of suiting up in any of the Eagles' three preseason games, with the last exhibition contest taking place Friday, Aug. 28 against the Bengals. Greenard was acquired by the Eagles from the Vikings in late April and is expected to lead Philadelphia's pass-rushing group that also includes Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, A.J. Epenesa and Arnold Ebiketie.

Walker was listed as a second-string wide receiver on the Bears' first unofficial depth chart that was released Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Walker saw limited action for most of his rookie season and did not play in either of the Bears' two playoff games, though he did log six catches (on 10 targets) for 87 yards and two touchdowns across Chicago's final three regular-season games. He entered training camp competing against Kalif Raymond and rookie Zavion Thomas (knee) for the WR3 role. However, Walker will have the chance to earn a more consistent role for himself on offense over the next few weeks, as Luther Burden will miss all three of the Bears' preseason games due to a groin injury.
