Hicks and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hicks has spent the entirety of the offseason as a free agent, but he has now found an opportunity before the end of the preseason. The wide receiver will look to make his preseason debut with Seattle on Sunday night against the Titans.

Ali has an undisclosed injury that forced him to miss the Ravens' preseason opener Saturday against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The running back also had to sit for most of the practice week leading up to that contest, per Hensley. Ali recorded 763 kickoff-return yards in 2025, and if he can return soon enough, he should be in line to play a similar role this season. The fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft remains third on the running back depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Hankerson and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hankerson was let go by the Dolphins on Aug. 10, and after clearing waivers, he has now found a new home with Seattle. The running back will have a chance to play in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Titans.

Schwesinger (ankle) could return to practice next week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Schwesinger hasn't practiced since July 31 while nursing an ankle injury, but head coach Todd Monken noted Monday the team is being "overly cautious" with the linebacker. Monken said the hope is Schwesinger will return to practice next week. It doesn't appear the 23-year-old is at risk of missing any regular-season action with the injury.

The Vikings placed Adams (quad) on injured reserve Monday.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell informed reporters Monday that Adams suffered a right quad tendon tear during the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants on Saturday. It's a brutal blow for the 30-year-old veteran, who joined the Vikings in late July and shifted from a secondary position to linebacker to bolster the defense led by coordinator Brian Flores. Adams will turn his focus toward rehab and recovery with an aim to be fully healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Smith (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's training camp practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Smith was spotted wearing a sleeve on his lower leg and was limping slightly at times during Monday's practice. Still, it was a positive sign from the veteran quarterback, who did not play in the Jets' preseason opener against the Buccaneers this past Friday due to left ankle soreness. It remains to be seen whether Smith and the other starters will play in the Jets' next preseason game, which takes place this Friday on the road against the Steelers.

The Giants signed Haener to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Haener worked out for the Giants in late July after he was let go by the Chiefs in early May. He'll now have the opportunity to compete against Brandon Allen for the QB3 job over the last couple of weeks of training camp. Haener last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Saints, when he appeared in eight games (one start) and completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning 11 carries into 22 yards.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that Harris (Achilles) looked good in Monday's workout, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Harbaugh noted that Harris wasn't in football shape following Tuesday's visit and that bringing in the 2021 first-rounder would "be a process." However, it appears the Giants are open to adding Harris, who continues to recover from a left Achilles tear that he sustained in September. It's unclear how much work Harris would see if he does join the Giants, given that the backfield features Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary.

Tyson is expected to miss about two months due to the hamstring injury he suffered last week, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, Tyson sought multiple medical opinions on an injury that coach Kellen Moore indicated is separate from the one he dealt with in the spring, but the 2026 first-rounder now appears to be on track to miss time out of the gate this season. Considering the proposed length of Tyson's recovery, it could be more open-ended than the Saints are letting on, but the team will continue to evaluate the wideout's injury. Meanwhile, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football indicates that starting the campaign on IR -- which would force him to miss at least four games -- is a possibility for Tyson. In Tyson's looming absence, Devaughn Vele, Bryce Lance (undisclosed) and Barion Brown are candidates to see added reps alongside Chris Olave, the team's top healthy WR.

Mims (undisclosed) participated in stretch and drills before working to the side of Monday's training camp practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Mims continues to work through an unspecified injury, which prevented him from playing in the Broncos' preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday. It's unclear whether he'll play in any of Denver's final two exhibition games, but there's no indication that Mims will miss the start of the regular season. The 2023 second-rounder is expected to serve as the Broncos' primary returner on kickoffs and punts while operating in a rotational role at wide receiver behind Jaylen Waddle (leg) and Courtland Sutton, with fellow wideouts Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps on offense.
