Henningsen (Achilles) is participating during the Broncos' minicamp, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Henningsen sat out the entire 2025 season after tearing his Achilles during a practice in August, but it looks like he's back in shape as minicamp kicks off. He'll be competing for a depth role on Denver's defensive line in 2026.

Per coach Kevin Stefanski, Taylor (elbow) is progressing in his rehab from the injuries he was nursing at the end of the 2025 season, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor was sidelined for Kansas City's last five games of 2025 due to triceps and elbow injuries, and he's still not fully ready for football activities after signing with the Falcons in April. Until he's back in action, former Kansas City teammate Wanya Morris projects as a candidate to work at right tackle with the first team.

Nix (ankle), who returned to individual work during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, suggested that he could be "full-go right now if they wanted me to," Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

The Broncos are proceeding cautiously with their franchise QB, who is bouncing back from surgery to repair an ankle injury he suffered during the Broncos' divisional-round playoff win over the Bills in January, as well as a subsequent cleanup procedure to address bone spurs. In terms of his recovery, Nix indicated that his doctors have told him his ankle "looks good as new," while adding that he'll be "just fine" for the upcoming season. Though he'll remain limited in minicamp, coach Sean Payton reiterated Tuesday that Nix is in line to be a full practice participant when the team returns to training camp later this summer.

Pittsburgh signed Windmon on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Winmon spent parts of the 2024 and 2025 seasons on the Steelers' practice squad, and he's back with the team ahead of training camp. He'll be vying for a depth spot in the front seven on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster in 2026.

Mitchell-Paden (knee) is practicing during the Saints' minicamp, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

Mitchell-Paden was dealing with a knee injury at the end of last season that landed him on injured reserve in January, but he appears to be back in football shape with minicamp underway. He'll be competing for a depth spot as an in-line tight end on the Saints' 53-man roster for 2026.

Delp returned to team drills Tuesday after he dealt with a hamstring issue during the Saints' OTAs, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

Delp didn't get a ton of opportunities as a pass catcher in college, but the third-round rookie demonstrated great speed when he ran a 4.49-second 40-yard dash at Georgia's Pro Day back in March. Now that he's fully healthy again, he'll compete for snaps and targets at tight end behind starter Juwan Johnson.

Minnesota signed Lang on Tuesday.

Lang shifted between practice squads for Seattle and New England during his rookie year in 2025, and now he's getting a new opportunity with the Vikings. With T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver both expected to contribute at tight end in 2026, there won't be much breathing room for others to find their way onto the field.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Houston (back) will be limited during the Cowboys' minicamp, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

The team didn't indicate the nature or severity of the injury. As Houston continues to recover, rookie fourth-round pick LT Overton could get more opportunities off the edge at practice.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Hooker (back) will be limited during the Cowboys' minicamp, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Hooker was listed on injury reports with a back issue to close out the 2025 season, and it's apparently still bothering him as minicamp kicks off. Until he's back to full strength, free agent acquisition P.J. Locke could see increased practice reps with the first-team defense.

McConkey said Tuesday that he's tending to a left hamstring strain, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Coach Jim Harbaugh told Insdorf earlier Tuesday that McConkey was "working through something" and would be limited to individual drills at this week's mandatory minicamp. McConkey clarified the nature of the injury not long afterward, while adding "let's get it healthy and ready to roll for" training camp. Through 32 regular-season games to begin his career, the 2024 second-round pick has tallied 148 catches on 218 targets for 1,938 yards and 13 touchdowns. McConkey will be seeking the second 1,000-yard campaign of his career under the direction of new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
