Barham (groin) returned to practice Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Barham was able to make his return to the practice field after missing more than a week with a groin injury that he suffered at practice Aug. 5. The linebacker took some first-team reps, replacing both Dee Winters and DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) at different points. Barham appears to be on track to operate as a top reserve option at inside linebacker in his rookie campaign.

Miller (groin) was waived/injured by the Giants on Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

The running back sustained the groin injury in Saturday's preseason contest versus Minnesota, and New York coach John Harbaugh said there "might be a situation there" after the game, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. If Miller's injury is as serious as Harbaugh indicated, he may need to remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. If he is able to play and clears waivers, he would need to reach an injury settlement with the Giants to have a chance to play in 2026.

The Falcons released Wilkerson on Monday, William McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Wilkerson caught on with the Falcons on Aug. 7 and played 14 snaps (13 on offense, one on special teams) during Atlanta's 24-7 loss to Denver in Friday's preseason game, when he caught one pass on three targets for five yards. He was on the practice squads of the Titans and Bills last year and last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Raiders, when he caught two passes on three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown across three games. Assuming he clears waivers, Wilkerson will look to catch on with a team in need of pass-catching depth.

Trubisky was removed from Monday's training camp practice due to a biceps injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters after Monday's practice that he was optimistic about Trubisky's biceps injury. The veteran quarterback can be considered day-to-day for now, but he'll undergo further tests to determine the extent of his injury. An extended absence for Trubisky would mean more second-team reps for Will Levis.

Delane (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Monday, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

The first-round pick had not been able to practice yet in full pads during training camp due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in May during OTAs. Delane is projected to start on the outside for Kansas City as a rookie.

The Buccaneers waived/injured Calloway (undisclosed) on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Calloway may have picked up an injury during the Buccaneers' 24-16 preseason win over the Jets on Friday, when he turned eight carries into 13 yards and returned two kickoffs for 39 yards. If he clears waivers, then Calloway would revert to injured reserve and be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Tampa Bay.

McCaffrey is dealing with "tightness," but it doesn't seem to be an issue to worry about, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

For the sake of clarity, Rapoport emphasized that McCaffrey hasn't been missing practice due to a phantom injury or a contract hold-in. Rapoport suggested that the star running back is dealing with "actual tightness" as opposed to sitting out as a means of forcing contract negotiations, and the report also notes that McCaffrey "should be fine." At this point, fantasy managers can probably count on the workhorse tailback being available for Week 1 of the regular season, though it certainly bears monitoring his practice status as the preseason rolls on.

Watts (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

The safety missed practice last week and Atlanta's preseason opener against Denver on Friday. His undisclosed issue, however, appears to be minor, and he should be able to resume his starting safety role now that he's back. Watts finished last season with 96 tackles (59 solo) and 11 pass breakups, including five interceptions.

Bates (back) returned to practice Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

The safety had to sit out of two straight practice sessions and Atlanta's preseason opener against Denver last week with the back issue. Now that he's participating in individual drills again, he should be able to resume full 11-on-11 sessions soon as well. Bates recorded 98 tackles (57 solo), six pass breakups, including three interceptions, and a forced fumble for Atlanta a year ago.

The Bears signed Davenport to a contract Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Davenport will reunite with Dennis Allen, with the duo having previously worked together in New Orleans. Davenport appeared in only eight regular-season games for the Lions in 2025 due to a shoulder injury, finishing with 14 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks. The 2018 first-rounder gives the Bears rotational depth at defensive end behind projected starters Dayo Odeyingbo and Montez Sweat.
