Reiman (ankle) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Reiman suffered a season-ending ankle injury in early October of 2025, but was tracking to be ready to participate in training camp. Evidently, the ankle issue is causing a lingering problem for the tight end, and it remains unclear when he will be able to return to the field. Reiman is set to be the No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride entering the 2026 season, and will likely handle his fair share of blocking duties for the run game headed by first-round draft pick Jeremiyah Love.

The Panthers signed Prieskorn to a contract Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The addition of Prieskorn gives the Panthers some added depth in a TE corps currently led by Tommy Tremble and Ja'Tavion Sanders. An Ole Miss graduate, Prieskorn was the MVP of the 2023 Peach Bowl after totaling 10 receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns.

Duck (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday.

Duck was unable to participate fully in OTAs due to a persistent knee injury lingering from last October's game against the Falcons. The outside cornerback was set to start opening day, and it is unclear what his injury timeline is regarding training camp and the preseason.

Baker (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday.

Baker was a new acquisition for the Dolphins, joining the team in March on a one-year deal. The cornerback was set to compete for a starting role on the defense in 2026, and it is unclear if he will still be available to start the season.

Scourton (knee) suffered a torn ACL injury in practice Thursday and will miss the 2026 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 2025 second-round linebacker had a productive rookie campaign, totaling 47 tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games. With the starting pass rusher unable to help the Panthers defend the NFC South title, Patrick Jones, Princely Umanmielen and Trevis Gipson likely will be asked to step up and assist the defense throughout the 2026 season.

Hooker (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Easton Freeze of AtoZSports.com reports.

Hooker's string of injury misfortune seems to be continuing into 2026. The safety missed the 2025 season due to an ankle injury, but was seen participating at the Titans' 2026 OTA's in May, so it is unlikely to be the same injury.

Ratller will be competing with Zach Wilson throughout training camp and potentially beyond to determine the No. 2 quarterback role for the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Rattler lost the 2025 starting job to rookie first-round pick Tyler Shough halfway through the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Buccaneers. The quarterback remained in a reserve role for the team and is clearly liked by the organization, but the signing of three-year Jets starter Zach Wilson leaves Rattler's role up in the air. There is always the possibility the team retains three quarterbacks on the active roster (as they did in 2025), but only one will be the No. 2 option.

Pavia was waived by the Ravens on Thursday.

Pavia signed with the Ravens in April after going undrafted, but the rookie out of Vanderbilt won't be part of Baltimore's training camp roster. Pavia will look to earn a chance with another NFL team. Scouts have expressed concerns over his size and attitude, but Pavia was highly productive in his final college campaign, generating 39 total touchdowns for Vanderbilt while leading the SEC with a completion percentage of 70.6.

The expectation is that Havrisik will compete with Trey Smack throughout the preseason to determine a Week 1 starter, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Smack , a sixth-round rookie, was set to be the opening-day kicker, but offseason practice failures have created a window for Havrisik to shine. The kicker produced well for the Packers in 2025 when he filled in for Brandon McManus, converting all four of his field-goal attempts. Havrisik also displayed some weaknesses around extra-point tries, converting only seven of nine across his three games.

Smith is set to lead a revamped wide receiver room that includes rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon and trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Smith has spent the past four seasons in A.J. Brown's shadow, but the 2021 first-round pick is ready to lead Philadelphia's wide receiver room for the first time since Smith's rookie campaign, during which he led the team in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns with a 64-916-5 regular-season line. Brown was traded to New England in June, and Smith is ready to take on an even larger role after exceeding 1,000 receiving yards in three of four regular seasons playing alongside Brown. "He's a special player that can continue to get even more targets," head coach Nick Sirianni said of Smith, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. "He's so capable of doing even more, and he's phenomenal, he is such a good football player."
