Benjamin Morrison CB | TB
Buccaneers' Benjamin Morrison: Dealing with leg injury
Morrison missed Thursday's OTA session due to a leg issue, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Quadriceps and hamstring injuries limited Morrison to 10 games during his rookie season in 2025, though it's unclear if this is a similar issue. Morrison was selected in the second round of the draft last year and projects as a starter when available.

Cardinals' Kenny Yeboah: Signs with Arizona
Yeboah (knee) signed with the Cardinals on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The tight end appears to be healthy again after missing the 2025 campaign with a knee issue. Yeboah saw regular-season action each year with the Jets from 2021-24, though he played more on special teams than offense during most of that time.

Wanya Morris OT | ATL
Falcons' Wanya Morris: Heading to Atlanta
Morris was traded to the Falcons by the Chiefs on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The 2023 third-round pick started 16 regular-season games across three seasons with Kansas City, but he found himself on the outside looking in at KC's starting lineup for 2026. Jake Matthews and Jawaan Taylor project as Atlanta's starting tackles for the upcoming season, but Morris gives the team's line some needed depth and experience in the wake of Kaleb McGary's retirement, per Marc Raimondi and Nate Taylor of ESPN.

Spencer Shrader K | IND
Colts' Spencer Shrader: Working his way back
Shrader (knee) went three of five on kicks during Thursday's minicamp session, Kevin Bowen 93.5 The Fan in Indianapolis reports.
It's notable that the kicker is participating in practice after tearing his ACL in Week 5 of the 2025 campaign after being run into by a defender. Shrader is on track to compete with Blake Grupe for the Colts' starting kick job during training camp. Grupe made all five of his kicks Thursday, per Bowen.

Brian Branch CB | DET
Lions' Brian Branch: Unlikely to return during offseason
Branch (Achilles) will most likely remain on the sideline until training camp at the earliest, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.
The safety tore his ACL in Week 14 of the 2025 campaign, and while he's on track in his recovery, he has not recovered just yet, per Woodyard. It's also possible that Branch opens the 2026 campaign on the physically unable to perform list, according to Woodyard, citing Lions coach Dan Campbell. Branch recorded 75 tackles (48 solo) and nine pass breakups in 12 games last year.

Jermod McCoy CB | LV
Raiders' Jermod McCoy: On track for training camp
McCoy (knee) should be ready to go once training camp starts in the summer, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.
The cornerback was a limited participant during OTAs, but that's just due to a "management program," per Bonsignore. McCoy missed the 2025 collegiate campaign after tearing his ACL, but he still got drafted in the fourth round by the Raiders. During training camp, he should have a chance to compete for slotting in the Raiders secondary ahead of Week 1.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Practicing at middle linebacker
Overshown has been practicing at middle and weakside linebacker during minicamp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The linebacker is also healthy and wearing no knee brace, per Machota. That's significant, seeing as he missed 12 games with a knee injury in 2025. Overshown made an impact in 2024, with 90 tackles (56 solo), including 5.0 sacks, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Signs three-year extension
Coker and the Panthers agreed on a three-year, $35 million contract extension with incentives up to $41 million Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Coker was entering a contract year after signing his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Carolina in April, but he will now be under contract for the next few seasons. The wide receiver has combined to catch 65 of 89 targets for 872 yards and five touchdowns over 22 regular-season contests in his first two NFL campaigns. He is set to enter the 2026 season as the Panthers' primary slot receiver, and he'll look to take a step up in production after his big payday.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound wide receiver spent time on the Vikings practice squad in 2025 and during the 2026 offseason prior to being waived last week. Davis, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft, has yet to make his regular-season debut.
