Pinter tore his patella tendon during a joint session against Minnesota on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The center was playing with the first team during training camp as Baltimore sought to replace Tyler Linderbaum, who signed with the Raiders in the offseason. Ethan Pocic would appear to be the next man up at center.

The Chargers are hoping Biadasz (knee) will be able to return late in the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Biadasz suffered injuries to multiple ligaments in his left knee during Tuesday's practice and is now looking at a multi-month recovery. The Chargers have been struck hard by offensive-line injuries multiple years running now, and Biadasz is the latest to go down after he signed a three-year, $30 million contract with the team back in March. Second-round rookie Jack Slaughter was initially supposed to compete at guard but is now expected to move to center for the Bolts.

Anusiem suffered a knee injury and was carted off the field during Thursday's preseason game against the Texans, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

The cornerback did not record a stat before exiting. Anusiem appeared in three games and on 54 special-teams snaps for Las Vegas in 2025, and he is fighting for a roster spot in 2026.

Rakestraw didn't finish practice Thursday due to an apparent leg injury, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

The cornerback suffered an upper-body injury during the first half of Detroit's Aug. 13 preseason loss to Cincinnati, but this appears to be a new issue. Rakestraw missed the 2025 campaign after injuring his shoulder during a training camp practice.

Mauigoa (upper body) had to leave Thursday's joint practice with the Dolphins due to a stinger, Dan Benton of USA Today reports.

After the session, Giants coach John Harbaugh told reporters that the first-round pick was ok. Mauigoa is expected to start at guard in his first season with Big Blue.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason matchup with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The linebacker recorded one solo tackle before exiting. Johnson is likely to see the majority of his action on special teams if he garners a roster spot, the role he's primarily served in throughout his NFL career.

Coach Dan Campbell said this week that Rolder (hamstring) could begin practicing pretty early in the season, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

The fourth-round rookie was injured early in camp and has missed the past three weeks with a strained hamstring. It sounds like he's going to miss the remainder of camp and the preseason. As a rookie, Rolder is expected to work as a depth linebacker and special-teams player.

Gillotte has a ruptured plantar fascia, but the injury is not considered serious, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

The defensive end might even be able to return for Kansas City's regular-season opener against Denver on Sept. 14, per Nate Taylor of ESPN.com. Gillotte strained his hamstring during a training camp session in late July, returned a little over two weeks later and then ruptured his plantar fascia during a drill. The 2025 third-round pick recorded 38 tackles (14 solo), including 1.5 sacks, in a rotational role as a rookie.

Kittle (Achilles) visited with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Wednesday and remains ahead of schedule in his recovery with a chance to play Week 1 against the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It was deemed an "encouraging" visit, per Schefter, after ElAttrache performed Kittle's surgery on his torn Achilles last season. Kittle has been aiming for a Week 1 return all along, and it appears to be attainable 21 days ahead of the Niners' kickoff with the Rams in Australia.

Bennett (knee) did not practice Thursday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Just shy of turning 26, Bennett appeared in 11 regular-season games with the Eagles last season and recorded just seven tackles (six solo) with one pass breakup. He's competing for a depth job in the Philly secondary.
