Hall is expected to be featured more prominently as the Jets' lead back this season, Connor Hughes of SNY.TV reports.

Hall signed a three-year, $45.75 million contract with the Jets in May, and it now appears as if the 25-year-old's offensive snap share will go up in his fifth campaign with the team. The running back's usage peaked at a 67.5 percent offensive snap share in 2024 before dropping down to 61.1 percent in 2025. With the heightened expectations for Hall, Braelon Allen is set to operate as a clear No. 2 option while Isaiah Davis will play third fiddle in the backfield this year.

Klubnik was named the No. 2 quarterback on the Jets' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

The fourth-round rookie out of Clemson seems to have the lead in the No. 2 quarterback competition with Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook. Klubnik completed 65.6 percent of his pass attempts for 2,943 yards and a 16:6 TD:INT as a senior for Clemson. As of now, it looks like Klubnik has a good chance of seeing the most snaps among the team's quarterbacks in Friday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers.

Bullard suffered a bone bruise to his right foot during Sunday's training camp practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Bullard told reporters that there was some swelling, but his MRI came back clean, and he anticipates being ready for Week 1 at Minnesota. As long as he's available, he figures to play a significant role in the Packers' secondary in 2026.

The Falcons signed Sample (knee) on Monday, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.

Sample was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday with a knee issue. The signing means the linebacker passed his physical and should be good to go for the preseason. Sample should slot in as a third-string option at outside linebacker, right on the edge of a potential 53-man roster spot.

Bosa (knee) did not participate during the 49ers' training camp practice Monday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bosa has now missed four straight training camp practices due to soreness. San Francisco will likely take a cautious approach in bringing the five-time Pro Bowler back up to full speed, given the team's financial investment in him and the fact that it already has a number of injuries to other players in the front seven.

Bates (back) continued to work with the training staff Monday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bates suffered a minor back issue at some point in training camp and has been practicing in a limited capacity. The safety has been gradually working his way up to full participation and should be back soon. As Bates continues his recovery, other defensive backs such as Jammie Robinson have seen more snaps with the first-team defense.

The Chargers waived Morrow on Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

In a corresponding transaction, the Chargers signed outside linebacker Andre Carter. Morrow, who went undrafted after his final season at Upper Iowa University last year, will become a free agency unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

Johnson (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Johnson left Saturday's practice early with a knee injury. The change-of-pace back still does not have a set return date, and it's currently unclear how severe the knee issue is. Johnson was spotted on the field at the beginning of Monday's session but then retreated back into the locker room. If Johnson was testing the limits of the injury Monday, it could signify he's not far from returning.

Adkins (undisclosed) participated during the Broncos' training camp practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Adkins left practice with a trainer Friday after presumably suffering some type of injury, but it looks like it wasn't anything too serious. He'll continue to compete with the likes of rookie fifth-rounder Justin Joly and Lucas Krull for a depth role at tight end during the upcoming campaign.

Covey (hamstring) was a limited participant in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Covey has been absent with a hamstring issue since last Wednesday, so a return to limited participation is a good sign for the punt returner's recovery. Any extended absence on Covey's part could open the door for Will Shipley or Tank Bigsby to make a case for the role of primary punt returner.
