The Broncos waived Robinson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, per the NFL's transaction report.

If Robinson clears waivers, then he would revert to the Broncos' injured reserve and be required to miss the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Denver. He has yet to appear in a regular-season game since signing with the Broncos in May of 2025 as an undrafted free agent.

Patrick sustained a knee injury during Friday's training camp practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Patrick will have his knee injury tested by medical staff over the coming days. Those results will determine when he can return to practice and his chances of playing in Saturday's preseason opener against the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 15. Patrick entered training camp looking to solidify his spot as the Giants' backup center behind John Michael Schmitz.

Smith did not participate in Friday's training camp practice due to a hip injury, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Andy Reid relayed Friday that he's "not worried" about Smith's availability, so the 2021 sixth-rounder could be back at practice ahead of the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15. Smith missed five of 17 regular-season games in 2025 due to back and ankle injuries.

The Dolphins waived/injured Brown (undisclosed) on Friday.

It's unclear when Brown sustained the injury, nor the nature of the issue. However, if he goes through waivers unclaimed, then he would revert to the Dolphins' injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Miami.

The Bears placed Flowers (leg) on injured reserve Friday.

Flowers appeared to injure his right leg during Thursday's training camp practice and had to be helped the field, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. The injury is severe enough for Flowers to go on injured reserve, which will force the Pittsburg State product to miss the entire 2026 season.

Dell said, "I'm taking it one day at a time" when asked Friday about his potential availability for Week 1 of the regular season versus Buffalo, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.

Dell practiced with pads Wednesday for the first time in training camp, though at this point he's limited to individual drills. The Texans have so far not committed to a timeframe for when Dell will be ready to play during the regular season, but the good news is that doctors have deemed his knee "100 percent stable." When Dell gets into a contest, it will be his first game action since he tore multiple knee ligaments and dislocated his kneecap against the Chiefs in Week 16 of the 2024 campaign.

Sharar (hamstring) recorded four tackles (one solo) during the Cardinals' 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

Sharar played 52 snaps (32 on defense, 20 on special teams) during Thursday's exhibition game and finished tied for the fifth-most tackles on the Cardinals. The rookie sixth-rounder was dealing with a hamstring injury in the offseason that prevented him from participating in OTAs, but he has been cleared to participate in training camp practices. Sharar is battling for a rotational role at linebacker, though if he sees the field during his rookie season, most of his playing time will likely come on special teams.

The Lions waived/injured Rucker (ankle) on Friday.

Rucker sustained the injury during Thursday's training camp practice. He'll revert to the Lions' injured reserve if he clears waivers, at which point he would be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Detroit.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Mullings is dealing with a hip pointer injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Mullins went to the locker room toward the tail end of Friday's training camp practice. He'll have his injury closely monitored over the next few days, and it's unclear whether his hip issue will prevent him from playing in Thursday's preseason opener against San Francisco. Any and all reps in training camp and exhibition contests are crucial for Mullings, who is competing against Michael Carter and Julius Chestnut for a depth spot on the Titans' 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season.

Spears is dealing with some soreness and irritation, which caused him to depart practice early Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

There's no indication Spears is dealing with anything serious, but he may be held out of practice until his current soreness subsides. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 RB this season, and the could be more of a "1B" to starter Tony Pollard than a pure backup. Spears has 1,048 regular-season rushing yards and 873 receiving yards through three NFL campaigns, so he has the potential to make an impact in fantasy as a dual-threat asset.
