Broncos coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that Harvey (shoulder) is a "full go" for mandatory minicamp, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Harvey underwent an offseason procedure to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, but the 2025 second-round pick already appears cleared for all practice activities. Payton said the running back is having a "real good" offseason so far. Harvey projects to be a key playmaker out of the backfield for Denver in Year 2, though he faces notable competition for touches from veteran J.K. Dobbins and rookie fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, Harvey rushed 146 times for 540 yards and seven touchdowns and secured 47 of 58 targets for 356 yards and another five scores.

Nix (ankle) is participating in practice Tuesday at mandatory minicamp, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Broncos coach Sean Payton also stated Monday that Nix will be cleared for the start of training camp in July, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. The third-year signal-caller is recovering from surgery in late January to address a right ankle fracture, and he's expected to be fully healthy well in advance of the regular season. He also opted to undergo an additional cleanup procedure to address bone spurs, per Stevens. Nix has been productive as both a passer and runner through his first two NFL seasons, and Denver's addition of Jaylen Waddle gives him another significant weapon alongside Courtland Sutton.

Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Penix (ACL) has not been cleared to participate in 11-on-11 drills at mandatory minicamp, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Stefanski reiterated that Atlanta remains "very comfortable" with the progress Penix has made in his recovery from left ACL surgery. Regarding the quarterback competition between the 2024 first-round pick and former Dolphin Tua Tagovailoa, Stefanski said "we're not giving out any jobs in June." By all accounts, the QB competition won't truly kick off until Penix has been cleared for full-team reps, but the head coach declined to state whether that's expected to happen by the start of training camp in July. If Penix remains limited to individual drills at that point, Tagovailoa will likely begin to pull ahead.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday that McConkey (undisclosed) is "working through something" and will be limited to individual drills at mandatory minicamp, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Harbaugh downplayed the severity of McConkey's injury, so it doesn't appear there's any level of concern about his status for the start of training camp in July. The wideout racked up 66 catches for 789 yards and six scores on 106 targets across 16 regular-season games in 2025, a step down from his rookie year production (82-1,149-7) in 2024. There are reasons to be optimistic about McConkey's chances of rebounding, however, with quarterback Justin Herbert slated to benefit from a healthy offensive line, new OC Mike McDaniel bringing a spark to the offense, and Keenan Allen no longer providing competition for underneath targets.

The Saints are set to re-sign Jordan to a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jordan has spent his entire career in New Orleans, the team that selected him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He rebounded impressively across 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 10.5 sacks. The soon-to-be 37-year-old will reportedly re-up with the Saints on a deal that includes significant incentives.

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Tuesday that Neal (undisclosed) will be limited at minicamp due to a minor injury suffered in early June, Erin Summers of ESPN reports.

Neal's exact injury remains undisclosed, but it doesn't appear severe enough to cause concern about his status for the start of training camp in July. Still, the 2025 sixth-round pick will be limited at mandatory minicamp as he competes for a backfield role. With New Orleans having inked Travis Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract in March while still carrying Alvin Kamara on the roster, there may not be much work available for backups Neal, Kendre Miller (ACL), Ty Chandler and Audric Estime.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Prescott will be limited at mandatory minicamp due to knee soreness, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Schottenheimer downplayed the severity of Prescott's injury, saying it's a "sore knee, nothing we're concerned about." By all appearances, Dallas is simply taking a cautious approach to the health of the veteran quarterback, who will turn 33 years old in July. It doesn't look like the team has any concerns about Prescott's availability for the start of training camp. Meanwhile, George Pickens has reported to mandatory minicamp after skipping the voluntary portion of the offseason program, though the wideout won't participate in any team drills, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Pickens won't take part in team drills at mandatory minicamp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Pickens has reported for the start of Dallas' mandatory minicamp, as despite his desire for a long-term deal with the team he would have been subjected to fines for any absences. Though Pickens signed his franchise tag with the Cowboys back in April, he abstained from voluntary workouts with the team during spring. Schottenheimer said the plan is for Pickens to go through a normal ramp-up period after the start of training camp in July and for the 25-year-old wideout to practice in full shortly thereafter, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com.

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Tuesday that Olave (illness) will remain limited at mandatory minicamp, as he was during voluntary OTAs, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave is practicing Monday but not participating in team drills, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. The star wide receiver is continuing his recovery from January treatment for a blood clot which caused him to miss Week 18 of last season. Moore said there are "no issues" with Olave's recovery progress and that the team is simply avoiding any risks during contact drills. Rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) also remains limited at mandatory minicamp, but it doesn't appear that New Orleans has serious concerns about the status of either player for the start of training camp.

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Tuesday that Tyson (undisclosed) will remain in the rehab process at mandatory minicamp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Tyson has been on a maintenance plan since rookie minicamp and voluntary OTAs in May, and it looks like he will continue to participate on a limited basis at mandatory minicamp while prioritizing his rehab process. The exact nature of Tyson's injury remains undisclosed, but it doesn't appear that New Orleans' coaching staff has any real concerns about his status for the start of training camp in July. Meanwhile, Chris Olave also remains limited at mandatory minicamp, per Underhill.
