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.

Thornton (undisclosed) did not participate at the Raiders' training camp practice Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Thornton left practice early last week Friday after presumably suffering some type of injury, and he still hasn't been able to make his way back onto the practice field. If he can't play in Thursday's preseason contest versus the Cardinals, it could open up more opportunities for rookie sixth-rounder Malik Benson and offseason free-agent acquisition Dareke Young.

Lamb recently told reporters that he and QB Dak Prescott are "hitting on all cylinders" at training camp, Tommy Yarish of DallasCowboys.com reports.

Lamb said his goals for 2026 are to win, stay healthy and dominate. "Whatever the numbers look like, that's cool," he said. Lamb's fantasy production was disappointing last year, but only due to a lack of touchdowns (three) and a prolonged stretch of missed time (three full games, plus nearly all of another). He finished with career highs for yards per catch (14.4) and aDOT (11.8) while posting his second-best mark for yards per route run (2.27). Lamb was efficient pretty much everywhere besides the red zone, where his 17 targets (t-8th among WRs) yielded eight catches for 57 yards and two TDs. He's been healthy throughout the offseason and training camp, with no reports of any missed time or limitations.
