Arizona removed Yeboah (hamstring) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Yeboah was on track to spend the whole 2026 season on IR with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Cardinals' preseason opener, but he'll now hit free agency instead. His last regular-season snaps came in 2024 with the Jets, when over nine games he caught five of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

The Bills signed Gaines to a contract Tuesday.

Gaines is a 6-foot-1, 312-pound nose tackle. The Bills' defense currently has standout second-year player Deone Walker set to fill the starting nose tackle role, but the team does not have much further depth at the position. Gaines is a strong space eater with a chance to fulfill a key depth role for the Bills in 2026 if he can prove himself throughout the preseason. The 30-year-old's first opportunity to show his stuff will be Saturday's showdown against the Browns. The Bills waived defensive lineman Tommy Akingbesote in a corresponding move.

Vele missed Tuesday's practice due to a planned rest day, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Vele has had multiple rest days over the past week. With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) set to miss the beginning of the regular season, the Saints need Vele to be healthy alongside Chris Olave in a wideout room that doesn't have a whole lot of depth.

The Rams signed Bachman on Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Rams waived wide receiver Mario Williams (undisclosed) with an injury designation. Over 13 games with the Raiders in 2025, Bachman hauled in two of three targets for 12 yards. He also handled some punt return duties.

Kamara was unable to finish Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys due to a knee injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

The details of Kamara's injury aren't yet known, but there's been no indication he's dealing with a serious issue. The veteran running back finalized a new deal to remain with the Saints last month and is expected to form a backfield tandem with newcomer Travis Etienne this season. At 31 years old, however, it's fair to wonder how much Kamara has left in the tank as a fantasy contributor.

The Rams waived Williams (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday.

It's not clear precisely what happened to Williams, but regardless, he's now in line to revert to the Rams' injured reserve list unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period. His departure could open up more opportunities for the likes of Tru Edwards and veteran Alex Bachman, who was signed in a corresponding transaction.

The Patriots waived Van Vooren on Tuesday.

Van Vooren signed with the Patriots near the start of training camp. The tight end was unable to make it with the Browns, being waived in August of 2025, while making it to a similar spot in the Patriots' 2026 training camp. Van Vooren will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any organization.

Miller (groin) reverted from waivers to the Giants' injured reserve list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Miller was not claimed by another team after getting waived with a groin issue Monday, so now he's on track to spend the entire 2026 season on IR. His last regular-season action came back in 2024, when he played eight total snaps over two games.

The Colts waived Horton on Tuesday.

Horton signed with the Colts in early May as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue. The wide receiver is likely no longer necessary now that Josh Downs is healthy and practicing. Horton will be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

The Colts placed Towt (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Towt was signed in March as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame. The tight end was actually a basketball player for the college, choosing to make the switch to tight end and play in the NFL. The potential blocker will need to wait for the 2027 season to make his NFL debut, as he will now spend the entirety of 2026 on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.
