Harris (Achilles) signed a one-year deal with the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

The Giants were clearly convinced that Harris has made enough progress in his Achilles rehab to contribute this season, after the veteran visited with the team Monday. He's now set to join a backfield headed by Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. Harris is well-regarded for his blitz pickup and short-yardage ability, which could complicate the snaps projection for the Giants' incumbent RBs even if Harris himself is not a featured part of the offense.

Patterson was signed by the Browns on Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The undrafted free agent has found a new spot after being waived by the Jaguars earlier in training camp. Patterson is a unique wideout at 6-foot-5 who averaged 21.2 yards per catch in his final collegiate season at UT Permian Basin.

Waddle (leg) is in full pads for Tuesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Things continue to be on the upswing for Waddle, who had been dealing with muscle tightness in his leg since early August. The prized offseason acquisition practiced Monday and is now going to work in full pads Tuesday. His status for Denver's upcoming preseason game against Green Bay on Friday is uncertain, but it's clear that Waddle is making progress toward being ready for the regular season.

Benson (knee) has yet to progress to 11-on-11 drills in training camp, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

The clock is ticking for Benson, who missed a large chunk of 2025 with a knee injury that has continued to bother him at times during camp. On a positive note, Benson managed to get in a limited practice Monday. However, it's unclear when he'll be ready for full-team drills. Benson is one of several Cardinals running backs dealing with injuries, including Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and James Conner (foot).

Sieler (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Raiders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins are banged up on the defensive line with both Sieler and Kenneth Grant (undisclosed) considered week-to-week. Coach Jeff Hafley gave an update on Sieler on Tuesday, expressing some optimism that the veteran's status was not in doubt for Week 1 at this time. Sieler has been sidelined since Aug.12 with an unspecified issue.

Grant (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The 2025 first-rounder is sidelined for the time being as the regular season approaches in just under a month. Grant's absence coincides with Zach Sieler's week-to-week issue, which puts a spotlight on Miami's interior defensive line depth for the remainder of training camp.

McKitty signed with the Commanders on Tuesday.

The 2021 third-rounder is back with a team for the first time since being waived by the Texans in August 2025. McKitty has not played in a regular-season game since 2023, when he was a member of the Chargers.

Higgins needed help getting to his feet after he was shaken up during Tuesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

On the plus side, the wideout walked off on his own power. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Higgins subsequently headed off the field to get checked out by team medical personnel. Afterward, coach DeMeco Ryans noted that he didn't have an immediate update on his status, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Consider Higgins day-to-day as Thursday's preseason contest against the Raiders approaches.

Thornton (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's practice on a cart, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

The reason behind Thornton's exit has yet to be disclosed. He's been firmly in the mix for a top-three spot on the Kansas City wide receiver depth chart, but if Thornton is required to miss time, fifth-round rookie Cyrus Allen and 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Royals would get increased opportunities to make an impression on the coaching staff.

Cracraft (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured List by the Commanders on Tuesday.

Washington placed both Cracraft and Jerome Ford to IR on Tuesday amid a flurry of roster moves. Cracraft played in two games for the Commanders at the end of the 2025 season and will now likely miss the 2026 campaign.
