Hood (undisclosed) did not participate at the Giants' training camp practice Tuesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Hood was checked on by trainers during Monday's practice session, but the exact nature of the issue is still unknown. As long as he remains unavailable, 2025 seventh-rounder Korie Black could be in line to see an uptick in reps on the boundary.

Ryan (foot) exited Tuesday's practice to talk with trainers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The tight end walked to the fieldhouse with a trainer after being checked for a foot injury on the sideline. The advanced analysis could just be for safety, but it looks like Ryan has sustained a potentially problematic foot issue. If the rookie seventh-rounder must miss time, Jack Stoll and Dae'Quan Wright will likely see more opportunities to prove they are 53-man roster material in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills.

Bosa's (knee) tendinitis symptoms have been subsiding recently, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Bosa continues to work toward a return to the field. The 49ers' defense is in desperate need of the star pass rusher's services after preseason game and joint practice failures on the defensive line. The 28-year-old is still considered week-to-week, with coach Kyle Shanahan saying Tuesday that the star is doing well. Bosa has a floor of 9.0 sacks when healthy, so the team will likely do whatever it takes to ensure he's on the field for the regular season.

Olave returned to Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys after making a brief exit during the session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

After making a contested catch down the left sideline and falling to the turf, Olave left the field and appeared to be headed to the medical tent, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Not long afterward, though, Olave was back on the practice field and had rejoined team drills. New Orleans' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) expected to miss the next two months and rookie fourth-rounder Bryce Lance (undisclosed) and Mason Tipton (leg, active/PUP) also tending to injuries. That might make Olave the most irreplaceable player in the offense, other than starting quarterback Tyler Shough.

Thomas (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Thomas had been dealing with some knee soreness. The wide receiver is back in action after just about a week's absence. Thomas is competing to be a first-team option at wide receiver, with Kalif Raymond and Jahdae Walker as the primary competition. The 22-year-old's prompt return to the field means he can continue to display his special teams and offensive versatility throughout the preseason. The rookie third-rounder's next opportunity to prove himself should come in Saturday's preseason showdown with the Bengals.

Olave went to the medical tent during Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Prior to his exit, Olave had been cooking Dallas' secondary on a consistent basis. He left the practice field with Saints trainers after falling to the turf making a grab down the left sideline. It's unclear if he's dealing with any sort of injury, though, as Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reported that Olave quickly returned to the field and was waiting for the session to resume.

Mullens (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Jamal St. Cyr of News4JAX reports.

Mullens participated in 11-on-11 drills during Tuesday's session. The veteran quarterback went 3-for-7 for 33 yards and an interception in last Saturday's preseason opener against the Saints. Mullens' participation likely means he'll be available to check into Friday's contest against the Panthers once Trevor Lawrence's potential snaps are done. After Mullen's performance last Saturday, however, coach Liam Cohen might decide to give Carter Bradley or Joey Aguilar the bulk of the second-team snaps.

Chaisson (undisclosed) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Chaisson is sitting out with an undisclosed issue. It is unclear when the starting strongside linebacker suffered the issue, as neither he nor the recently injured Odafe Oweh (undisclosed) participated in last Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins. With both primary outside linebackers down for an indeterminate amount of time, Joshua Josephs, Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Drake Jackson should see increased first-team reps.

Oweh (undisclosed) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Oweh did not play in last Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins, so it is unclear when the linebacker sustained his injury. A significant injury for the 27-year-old would be a serious issue for the Commanders, as the team just signed the weakside linebacker to a four-year $100 million deal in early March. With fellow edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson (undisclosed) also sitting with an injury, Joshua Josephs, Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Drake Jackson are set to see more first-team reps for the immediate future.

The Browns signed Patterson to a contract Tuesday.

The undrafted free agent out of Texas-Permian Basin was waived by the Jaguars in early August. Patterson is a 6-foot-5, 220-pound wide receiver whose physical traits could make an impact throughout the preseason. The wide receiver was likely signed due to the injuries to Cedric Tillman (undisclosed) and Jamari Thrash (undisclosed). The Browns waived offensive guard Jack Conley in a corresponding move.
