Rodgers reiterated Tuesday that 2026 will be his final NFL season, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Rodgers said the exact same thing back in May after re-signing with the Steelers but again confirmed it when he reported to training camp Tuesday. "I thought last year might be it," Rodgers said. "And then Mike [McCarthy] got hired, and I talked to the wife and she said, 'You can do one more year.' I said, 'Well, we'll see if it works out.' And then it kind of all came together." Headed into his 22nd season, Rodgers is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him complete 65.7 percent of his passes for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns versus just seven interceptions over 16 regular-season games. His career 1.4 percent interception rate and 102.2 passer rating are the best in NFL history.

The Jets placed Ossai (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Ossai is working through a minor injury and should not be stranded on the PUP list for too long. The defensive end signed a three-year deal with the Jets in March and is set to start across from 2026 first-rounder David Bailey when the regular season commences.

GM Mickey Loomis said Tuesday that Tyson (undisclosed) passed his conditioning test and is good to go for training camp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Tyson had his reps managed during the team's offseason program after the rookie wideout had an injury-plagued collegiate career, including a hamstring issue that recurred ahead of the draft, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. He's ready to work now that training camp is slated to begin, however. In his first pro campaign, the 2026 first-rounder has an opportunity to make an immediate fantasy impact as the Saints' WR2 alongside veteran Chris Olave.

The Jets activated Patrick (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Tuesday.

Patrick was placed on the list Saturday, but the wide receiver has recovered quickly. The 32-year-old is set to be the No. 4 receiver for the Jets in 2026 behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper, but will also need to contend with rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) for receptions.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Tuesday that Olave (illness) is a full-go for training camp, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Olave had been limited all offseason while managing the blood clot issue that forced him to miss the end of the 2025 regular season, but he's been cleared for the start of camp. Loomis also said the 2022 second-round pick is "enthusiastic" about joining his teammates on the field despite his current lack of a long-term contract, Terrell reports. Olave previously stated that he hoped to finalize an extension with New Orleans prior to opening of training camp. Rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) has also been fully cleared for camp after passing his conditioning test, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports, giving quarterback Tyler Shough his full complement of targets.

Gordon (calf) is still dealing with the injury he suffered during the offseason, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Gordon sustained a calf injury in late May and spent the entire offseason rehabbing the issue. The slot cornerback is reportedly frustrated at the delay in recovery, a situation all too familiar to the 26-year-old after his 2025 season was derailed by several injuries.

Edwards (calf) is set to return to training camp after a short absence, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

Edwards hurt his calf before training camp, but the injury does not appear to be severe. The starting middle linebacker fractured his leg last season, so any leg-related issues may have to do with weakness correlated to that initial incident. In Edwards' 10 healthy starts during the 2025 regular-season campaign, he produced 67 tackles (33 solo) and five passes defensed for one interception, which was returned for a touchdown.

Levis is set to compete with Mitchell Trubisky for the backup quarterback role, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Trubisky is set to begin the season as the backup, but Coach Robert Saleh stated Tuesday that Levis will have the opportunity to win the job. Levis' last opportunity as a starter was in 2024, when he played 12 regular-season games, producing 191 completions (63.1 percent completion rate) for 2,091 passing yards and 13 touchdowns to 12 interceptions.

The Titans activated Hooker (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Hooker was placed on the active/PUP list last Thursday, but his undisclosed issue was clearly not significant, as the safety is all set to suit up for training camp. Hooker logged 81 tackles (58 solo) and produced eight passes defensed in 2025 across 16 regular-season games. The defensive back is once again set to be the starting strong safety for the Titans in 2026.

Coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Tuesday that Cousins will open training camp as the Raiders' starting quarterback, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

"When we go out to practice tomorrow, Kirk is the starting quarterback," Kubiak said. "He's the guy, and he deserves it because he's played really good football. But I want Fernando Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell to push him." This has been the Raiders' plan all along after Cousins opened spring practices as the QB1. While Cousins may get the Week 1 nod against the Dolphins on Sept. 13, Mendoza is fully expected to make rookie-year starts. Cousins made eight starts for the Falcons last season and completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,721 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions across 10 total regular-season appearances.
