Jaycee Horn CB | CAR
Panthers' Jaycee Horn: On track to return soon
General manager Dan Morgan said Wednesday that Horn (foot) is expected to come off the NFI list "in a matter of days," per the league's official site.
Horn started training camp on the Panthers' active/non-football injury list after suffering a cut on one of his feet, but it sounds like it won't keep him sidelined for too long. Carolina is likely just playing things safe with its top cornerback, who is coming off his second straight Pro Bowl season.

Tershawn Wharton DE | CAR
Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Starting camp on PUP list
Wharton (neck) will begin training camp on the Panthers' active/PUP list, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wharton underwent a procedure on his neck in May, and he's still not ready to return to the practice field with training camp now underway. As long as he remains unavailable, LaBryan Ray will be a candidate to see more work with the first-team defensive line.

Jacoby Brissett QB | ARI
Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Reports to training camp
Brissett reported to training camp Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Per Garafolo, there's nothing new to report on Brissett's contract status, but the QB is at least at training camp along with the rest of his Cardinals teammates. How much Brissett does once practice starts remains to be seen, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously noted that the two sides have been actively negotiating for the last several months toward an amended deal designed to give the veteran signal caller -- who is projected to start for Arizona -- the raise he wants.

Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Davis: Favorite for RB2 Job?
Davis and Braelon Allen will compete for backup work this summer, with Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic suggesting that Davis has an early edge for the second spot on the depth chart.
Allen has generated more fantasy interest since both he and Davis were taken by the Jets on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Neither has decisively pulled ahead of the other, though Davis has done a better job with his limited snaps, averaging 5.6 yards on 73 carries and 8.7 yards on 30 receptions. Allen is pushing 250 pounds and may be a pure power specialist, while Davis lacks a standout trait but probably offers a better blend of skills, including some experience as a third-down back. The decision on who plays more could be just as much about starter Breece Hall and when the coaches want to take him off the field.

Carson Beck QB | ARI
Cardinals' Carson Beck: Signs rookie contract
Beck and the Cardinals reached agreement Wednesday on a four-year, $7.4 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Beck, a third-round pick, is one of the last players to sign from the 2026 Draft class. He'll likely open training camp third or fourth on the depth chart, competing with Kedon Slovis behind veterans Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. A strong summer could put Beck in good position to make starts later this year for a rebuilding Cardinals team.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Placed on PUP list
The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on the physically unable to perform list ahead of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
The move doesn't come as a surprise, as Charbonnet is coming back from February knee surgery. While a timetable has yet to be outlined for his return, coach Mike Macdonald has been impressed by the work that the running back has been putting in during his rehab process. "He's doing a great job," Macdonald said of Charbonnet last month. "I know he has high expectations for himself, and we're looking forward to seeing where it ends up." At this stage, the expectation is that Charbonnet will miss time out of the gate this season, but once he's ready to return to game action, the 2023 second-rounder will look to claim a key role in a Seahawks RB corps that no longer includes Kenneth Walker. For now, Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the team's top healthy options at the position.

Chris Brazzell II WR | CAR
Panthers' Chris Brazzell: Competing with Legette
Brazzell is slated to compete with Xavier Legette for wide receiver reps during training camp, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.
Brazzell, a rookie third-rounder, will compete with a 2024 first-round pick in Legette for No. 3 wide receiver opportunities behind Tetairoa McMillan (ankle) and Jalen Coker. Per Rizzuti, Brazzell impressed during spring and summer workouts with Carolina, and if he's able to keep up that momentum during training camp it wouldn't be out of the question for him to jump up the depth chart and surpass Legette, who has failed to live up to expectations through his first three seasons. Brazzell totaled a 62-1,017-9 line across 12 games in 2025 at Tennessee, where he earned All-American Third-Team and All-SEC First-Team honors.

Romeo Doubs WR | NE
Patriots' Romeo Doubs: Set to combine with A.J. Brown
As the coming season approaches, Doubs is the Patriots' projected top inside receiver in a re-tooled WR corps now led by A.J. Brown, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
With last season's top wide receiver Stefon Diggs -- who led the team in targets (102), receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,013) -- no longer in the mix, Brown and Doubs now sit atop the Patriots' depth chart, thus boosting QB Drake Maye's supporting cast ahead of the 2026 campaign. With Green Bay in 2025, Doubs put up a 55/724/6 receiving line (on 85 targets) in 16 games, but in his new locale, the 26-year-old has an opportunity to see an uptick in production while profiling more like a high-volume "big" slot in New England's offense, per Lazar.

Mike Washington Jr. RB | LV
Raiders' Mike Washington: Set to work behind Jeanty
Washington is slated to work behind Ashton Jeanty this season in a Las Vegas backfield that also currently includes Dylan Laube, Chris Collier and Roman Hemby, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.
As a rookie in 2025, Jeanty carried 266 times and caught 55 passes in 17 regular-season games, and new coach Klint Kubiak expects the second-year pro to maintain heavy volume in 2026. With Raheem Mostert and Zamir White no longer in the mix, however, Washington -- who was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft -- has an opportunity to play meaningful snaps this coming season, with McFadden noting that the Arkansas product logged reps with the second team and occasionally with the first-team offense during the Raiders' offseason program. Though Washington doesn't have an immediate path to fantasy lineup utility out of the gate, the 6-foot-2, 228-pounder is a player to keep on the radar in the event that Jeanty misses time for any reason.

Jacoby Brissett QB | ARI
Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Expected to report to camp
Brissett is expected to report to the start of the Cardinals' training camp Wednesday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
Brissett will presumably attend the start of training camp for Arizona, but the veteran quarterback could still stage a 'hold-in' due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure.
