The Colts placed McKeon (undisclosed) on injured reserve Thursday.

McKeon signed a reserve/future deal with the Colts in January. The tight end's undisclosed issue will result in him missing the entirety of the 2026 season. McKeon played in one game for the Colts last season, logging eight offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps. In a corresponding move, the Colts signed tight end Pharaoh Brown.

The Colts signed Brown to a contract Thursday.

Brown played in seven regular-season games for the Cardinals last season, accumulating two receptions on two targets for one yard over 59 offensive snaps and also logging 77 plays on special teams. The Colts placed fellow tight end Sean McKeon (undisclosed) on IR in a corresponding move.

Phillips has a mild right knee sprain and will be sideline for the time being, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Phillips suffered the knee injury at practice Wednesday, and he'll now be forced to miss some action moving forward during training camp. It's unclear if he'll be able to play in New York's first preseason game Aug. 15 versus the Vikings, and if he can't go, Ar'Darius Washington would be a top candidate to see an increase in workload in the secondary.

Burns (undisclosed) participated during the Giants' training camp practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

It's not immediately clear what happened to Burns, but it's not preventing him from suiting up for practice at this point. He and 2025 first-rounder Abdul Carter project to play as many snaps as they both can handle on the edge in 2026.

Barham exited Thursday's training camp session with a groin injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Barham headed to the locker room after a trip to the medical tent. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but any time Barham misses would benefit fellow depth option Shemar James, who's also set to see more first-team reps as DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) incrementally works his way back to full practice participation.

Overshown (lower body) was a limited participant during the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Overshown's injuries aren't believed to be a major issue, and he's evidently taking steps towards getting back up to full speed. He missed the first nine games of the 2025 season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in December of 2024, but barring any setbacks, there appears to be a good chance he'll be ready to go for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign.

The Buccaneers have "no plans" to trade Vea (back), Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

While the Buccaneers appear intent on holding on to Vea, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reporting that the defensive tackle's camp sees no end to the current stalemate other than a trade. With both Vea heading into a contract year, the star defensive tackle could be set to "hold in" for a longer period than either party is comfortable with.

GM Brian Gutekunst said Thursday that the Packers continue to be "pretty cautious" with Lloyd in the early stages of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

A 2024 third-round pick, Lloyd has made only one appearance as a pro due to a cascade of health concerns through his first two seasons. Despite entering training camp at full health, as coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today last Wednesday, Lloyd so far has displayed his speed and explosiveness, including running a seam route 25 yards downfield earlier this week. With Emanuel Wilson moving on in free agency in the offseason, Lloyd's main competition for the No. 2 RB job behind starter Josh Jacobs (groin) is Chris Brooks, who currently resides on the active/non-football injury list due to a hamstring issue.

Mason was waived by the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Mason signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent May 1, but he will now be placed on waivers. The tight completed his collegiate career with a senior campaign with Wisconsin in 2025, reeling in 30 of 53 targets for 398 yards and four touchdowns. If Mason goes unclaimed on waivers, there's a chance that he sticks around with the Seahawks as a member of the team's practice squad.

Moore (groin) did not participate during the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

It's not clear when Moore picked up the injury, and there's no timeline for his return at this point. Until he's back to full strength, Josh Butler and 2024 fifth-rounder Caelen Carson are candidates to see an increase in reps on the boundary at practice.
