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.

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

Magee does not currently have a return timeline set. The Commanders signed an additional linebacker Tuesday morning, meaning Magee could be set to miss an extended period of time. If the 25-year-old must work his way back from a significant issue, Kain Medrano or Krys Barnes could see additional reps during Saturday's preseason showdown with the Lions.

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

Newton does not currently have a return timeline. The Commanders signed a defensive tackle to the roster Tuesday morning, meaning the 23-year-old's injury could be significant. The reserve option was likely set to play a significant share of snaps in Saturday's preseason contest with the Lions. If Newton cannot return to the field in time for the game, Shy Tuttle and Ricky Barber could potentially see more opportunities.

Enagbare (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Enagbare was listed as day-to-day in early August due to an unknown issue he suffered early in training camp. The defensive end has taken his time to work through the issue and now appears ready to engage in preseason activities. The Jets' next preseason game is Friday night against the Steelers. If Enagbare can log consecutive full practices, he will likely make an appearance in the contest for a few snaps.

Coach Sean McVay noted Tuesday that Allen (quad) is expected to return to practice "within the next week," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

McVay added that Allen -- who is dealing with a quad issue -- is expected be ready for Week 1 action against the 49ers, barring any unforeseen setbacks. During the 2025 regular season, Davis recorded 33 targets for 24 catches, 208 yards and three touchdowns over 17 games. However, as the coming campaign approaches, his path to volume is murky, with all of Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare also in the Rams' TE mix.
