Harvey expects to provide a lot of big plays in Year 2 with the Broncos, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

Harvey notched three rushes of over 20 yards in his rookie campaign, two of which were 40-plus yard gains, but he expects more frequent such plays in his second year. The running back believes that big plays are his calling card as an athlete, saying that he feels like that's "his game." Harvey compiled 540 yards and seven touchdowns on 146 carries while also reeling in 47 of 58 targets for 356 yards and five scores over 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old is expected to operate in a timeshare with J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) again this season, but the oft-injured Dobbins is already dealing with a soft-tissue injury at training camp. If Dobbins is unable to put together a healthy campaign, Harvey would have the opportunity to take command of Denver's backfield for years to come.

Wilson (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury in August 2025, but he was back on the field for the Eagles' OTAs in late May. The reoccurrence of a knee injury does not bode well, but the severity of the issue still remains unclear. Wilson was receiving some first-team wide-receiver reps before his injury, meaning his absence affords Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore additional opportunity to usurp him in the Eagles' air attack.

Pierce (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Pierce exited Saturday's practice with a hamstring injury, and it is unclear how long the running back will be absent due to the issue. With Elijah Mitchell (undisclosed) having been placed on injured reserve Monday, the team signed Ja'Quinden Jackson to further cement the running back room throughout the preseason. Currently, the No. 2 role behind Saquon Barkley is up for grabs, with Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley and Pierce fighting for snaps. If Pierce misses significant time, his chances of starting the season as the No. 2 back figure to diminish.

Thomas is dealing with knee soreness but isn't expected to miss much time, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas left Sunday's practice early with a knee injury and is day-to-day as he recovers from the issue. The wide receiver has been thrust into a more relevant role for at least the preseason after Luther Burden (groin) left Saturday's practice with a significant injury. The faster Thomas can return to the field, the more time he has to convince the coaching staff he deserves an increase in regular-season reps and targets alongside his kick-return duties.

Sneed (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Sneed recovered from a quadriceps injury that sidelined him for the final 10 contests of the Titans' 2025 season before he signed with the Chiefs this past offseason. The cornerback has unfortunately sustained yet another injury, and it is unclear how long this new knee issue will keep him out. With fellow projected starting cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder) also sidelined, Nohl Williams and Kristian Fulton will likely see a significant amount of preseason reps.

The Eagles waived Wright on Monday.

The undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss signed with the Eagles after the 2026 NFL Draft. Wright was always facing long odds to stick on the 53-man roster, considering Dallas Goedert, rookie Eli Stowers, Johnny Mundt and Grant Calcaterra were all ahead of him on the positional depth chart. If Wright clears waivers, he'll be able to sign with any franchise.

The Eagles placed Mitchell (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

Mitchell signed with the Eagles in early June with designs on having him compete for a complementary role in the Eagles' backfield. Unfortunately, it appears Mitchell has suffered a significant setback, and the 28-year-old will spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The Eagles signed running back Ja'Quinden Jackson in a corresponding move.

The Eagles signed Jackson to a contract Monday.

The Jaguars waived Jackson in May, but he's now caught on with the Eagles due to injuries to Dameon Pierce (hamstring) and Elijah Mitchell (undisclosed). Jackson is likely just a fill-in for the preseason, but he has an outside chance of making the roster if he can prove useful both in the backfield and on special teams.

Mays will miss a significant portion of the 2026 season with a fractured wrist, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coach Dan Campbell called the injury "significant," and it appears Mays won't be able to return before mid-season at the earliest. Former Lions center Frank Ragnow retired after the 2024 season, and Mays was set to take over the starting role for the foreseeable future after signing a three-year, $25 million contract with Detroit this offseason. In the wake of Mays' injury, Seth McLaughlin is set to open the regular season as the Lions' starting center.

The Texans signed Winfree to a contract Monday.

Winfree worked out with the Texans on Saturday and appears to have flashed enough to warrant a 90-man roster spot. The wide receiver spent training camp time with Houston leading up to the 2025 season as well, and it remains to be seen if the 29-year-old will do enough to make a case to eventually survive cutdown day.
