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.

The Browns placed Green (undisclosed) on injured reserve Friday.

The nature of Green's injury has not been announced. However, by being placed on the Browns' IR, the 2021 third-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Cleveland. Green has played in 37 regular-season games (19 starts) since entering the league.

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that Iheanachor (upper body) will be held out of practice until Monday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

It's not clear when Iheanachor sustained the injury, but he'll be held out of practice over the weekend and focus on rest and recovery ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against Green Bay. Iheanachor was a first-round selection of the Steelers in the 2026 NFL Draft and is battling for a starting role on the offensive line.

Echols did not participate in Friday's training camp practice due to an ankle injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Echols may have sustained the injury during a training camp practice earlier in the week. His practice participation over the next few days will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Thursday's preseason opener against the Packers.

Incoom (shoulder) recorded three tackles (two solo) during the Panthers' 33-30 win over the Cardinals in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

Incoom was cleared to play in Thursday's exhibition game after fully recovering from offseason shoulder surgery that he underwent in June, and he played a total of 42 snaps (36 on defense, six on special teams). Incoom has contributed mostly on special teams since entering the league in 2023 and will likely reprise that role for the upcoming season. He finished the 2025 regular season with 17 tackles (nine solo) across 17 games.

Way (pectoral) passed his physical and has been removed from the Commanders' NFI list as of Friday.

The pectoral injury Way was tending to was never believed to be serious, and he will now be able to get back into action during camp. He's favored to fend off fellow veteran Matt Haack to keep Washington's punting job in 2026.

Taylor (elbow) is still on the Falcons' active/PUP list but has participated in walkthroughs with the team during training camp, D. Orlando Ledbetter of BowTieSports reports.

Taylor opened training camp on the PUP list while recovering from elbow and triceps injuries that caused him to miss the final five games of the regular season as a member of the Chiefs. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the Falcons' preseason opener against the Broncos on Friday, Aug. 14.
