Monangai left Sunday's practice due to an apparent right-knee injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Monangai went down after being tackled from behind by defensive tackle Grady Jarrett in a non-padded session Sunday. The second-year running back walked off under his own power, albeit very gingerly, while departing with a trainer, according to Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com. Monangai will likely undergo further testing to evaluate the severity of this apparent injury. The 2025 seventh-round pick popped during his rookie season, tallying 169 carries for 783 yards and five touchdowns while playing behind veteran D'Andre Swift.

Sweat (undisclosed) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.

Sweat had not practiced since early August due to an unknown minor issue. The starting defensive end was afforded time to get healthy and is now set to suit up. The Bears' second preseason contest is against the Bengals next Saturday, and Sweat will likely open the game with the first-team defense for at least a few snaps of live football.

Hall (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears, Mary Cay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

Hall is expected to return to practice this week after missing some time with an undisclosed injury. The defensive tackle's return should bolster the Browns' defensive line depth as they look toward Saturday's preseason game against the Bills. If practice goes well for Hall, he should start opposite Mason Graham on the interior defensive line in Saturday's contest.

Riley (Achilles) is not expected to be back for training camp, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Riley continues to work his way back from a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in Week 17 of the 2025 regular season. Coach Matt LaFleur praised the nose tackle's recovery effort, but the team still does not expect him back soon. The 28-year-old's return date now lies somewhere near the start of the regular season and it is unclear how many games he may miss.

Kittle (Achilles) said Sunday that he's "very confident" he won't start the season on the reserve/PUP list and that he's still got a chance to play Week 1 versus the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kittle is recovering from a torn Achilles suffered on Jan. 11, and he's maintained this offseason that he'll be ready for the Week 1 opener versus the Rams in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, Sept. 10. He added that the decision about whether he'll play Week 1 should be made before the 49ers depart for their international game versus the Rams, per Wagoner. The soon-to-be 33-year-old recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2023 and 2024, but he tallied 628 yards on 57 catches across 11 appearances during the 2025 regular season. When healthy, Kittle should still be a key target for San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy, especially after wide receiver Ricky Pearsall underwent a season-ending surgery to repair his PCL this August.

Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Allen suffered a hamstring injury in early August, sustaining the injury just days after returning to practice from a calf issue. The rookie second-rounder is finally ready to resume team activities and continue preparing for his role as the starting middle linebacker. Allen's return means Austin Ajiake and West Weeks will likely see fewer opportunities in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.

The Bears waived Hudson (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Sunday.

Hudson reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list last Tuesday after clearing waivers. The wide receiver may have felt he had a chance to get healthy and play in 2026, so he is now a free agent able to sign with any organization.

Miller suffered a groin injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Coach John Harbaugh said there "might be a situation there" regarding Miller's health. While there is no official timeline for the running back's return, Harbaugh's comments imply that he may need to miss significant time. If Miller does have a severe issue, he is a strong candidate for season-ending injured reserve, in which case the Giants would likely look to free agency to find another depth rusher for the remaining preseason games.

The Cardinals are "hopeful" that Love (ankle) will be ready for Week 1, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Arizona head coach Mike LaFleur said Saturday that Love would be sidelined at least one week after he suffered an ankle injury during Arizona's 27-14 preseason win over the Raiders on Thursday. LaFleur also declined to say whether Love is dealing with a high-ankle sprain while talking to the media Sunday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. The No. 3 overall pick of this year's draft tallied 11 carries for 58 yards along with three catches (on three targets) for 14 yards. Fowler added in his report that the team is taking it easy with Love and that he'll be the team's lead back once healthy. His next opportunity to return this preseason is Saturday, Aug. 22 versus the Cowboys, though his timeline likely suggests that the he won't play until at least the preseason finale against Green Bay on Friday, Aug. 28. If Love is unavailable, then Tyler Allgeier would likely be next in line to start, especially since James Conner is still rehabbing from foot and ankle surgeries undergone last September.

The Titans signed Richardson to a contract Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Richardson was waived by the Cowboys in early August. The undrafted free agent out of Tulsa joins the Titans as additional preseason depth. With running back Kalel Mullings (hip) still nursing an injury, Richardson could see some depth reps in Sunday's preseason showdown with the Seahawks.
