Free-agent WR DJ Turner (Raiders) signed with the Houston Texans Wednesday, July 29. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Louie Hansen.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave (neck) is on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list because of neck injury, and the team will be cautious with his return, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggests, if Musgrave is able to return to the practice field in short order, he may benefit from increased reps as Tucker Kraft (ACL), who is also on the active/PUP list, progresses in his own recovery. That said, Kraft expects to resume practicing soon and to be on the field for Week 1. His presence would obviously limit Musgrave's opportunities. |

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will share snaps with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: This is no surprise. Watson has been viewed as the frontrunner for the starting job most of the offseason, but Sanders was closing the gap as OTAs wound down. This now sounds like a real competition. It's worth noting that Watson and Sanders continued working with teammates this month, with the team's top receivers, Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Cedric Tillman, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston, among the attendees at the workouts in Miami. This one bears watching. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James suffered a rib fracture in practice on Monday, July 29. There is no timeline for his return.
| Footballguys view: Even without a specific timetable, it's safe to assume James will miss some time. He was competing with rookie Kaelon Black for San Francisco's RB2 job behind Christian McCaffrey. While recent reports suggested James had the lead in the competition, NBCSports.com's Jennifer Lee Chan told us earlier this month that she expects Black to make a push in August. At the very least, James' injury opens the door to more opportunities for the rookie to prove himself. |

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: On the field, Olave (blood clot) is now "full go" and has no restrictions, as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp. Whether he gets a new deal or plays out the current contract, Olave is a solid fantasy prospect with a WR12 ADP. |
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team have not come to an agreement on a contract extension, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. The sides are done negotiating and Mayfield will play this season under his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times and Greg Auman of FOX Sports both report that the talks have finished with the quarterback reporting to training camp on Tuesday. Mayfield will now have a cap number of $39.975 million in 2026 on the last year of his deal. Depending on how the season goes, the Buccaneers could franchise tag Mayfield in the 2027 offseason. That would put Mayfield in a position to earn $47.97 million on the one-year franchise tender. Whatever the case, Mayfield is once again betting on himself, a tactic that's worked well for him in the past. |

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) will not start Texans' training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell said in June that he felt he'd be ready to go at the start of training camp and it appears the Texans agree with his assessment of his health. The speedy wideout missed all of last season after suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024 and was able to do limited work during the team's offseason program. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons. His progress is notable and if he builds on it early in camp, expect his WR75 ADP to rise. |

Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (undisclosed) will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: According to According to SI.com, it's not clear what's occurred in his situation. The second-year wideout participated fully in the Texans' offseason program without any reported injury, so something happened since the last time the team was practicing. The issue could be something as simple as an illness, or it might be a more serious injury that could keep him out of participating in practice longer. Noel was expected to compete for first-team reps in the slot after a promising finish to his rookie campaign. We'll follow up as more information comes to light. |
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 27. 'I think we'll see him play football tomorrow,' New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The team's first-round draft pick (No. 8 overall) didn't do much on-field practice work after the first day of rookie minicamp as the team sought to manage the recurrence of a hamstring injury he suffered before he was drafted. Expect the Saints to be cautious, with Tyson ramping up to being able to fully participate in practice. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (blood clot) is now 'full go' and 'has no restrictions' as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Olave missed Week 18 because of a blood clot in his lung, and the team limited his work during the spring in order to continue monitoring the situation. On Tuesday, GM Mickey Loomis said that Olave has been given the green light to do everything during this summer's practices. Olave's three-game stretch to finish the season was impressive. He was WR2 from Weeks 15 through 17. He's being drafted as WR12. |
Free-agent PK Lenny Kreig (Jets) and TE Thomas Yassmin (Chargers) have been signed by the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, July 28. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed. The Packers also released LB Dante Barnett.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has no set timetable for a return, but the Seahawks are 'going to be smart with him', in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Breer went on to suggest that Charbonnet's readiness for Week 1 looms as "a potential close call" -- and the Seahawks are going to be smart with him, in the hopes that they get his best when it matters most. As such, first-round pick Jadarian Price is a pivotal figure. Even with all the talk about Charbonnet being ahead of schedule, his surgery didn't take place until February. The usual nine-month turnaround indicates a November return. We'll continue watching for more, but the Week 1 talk seems overly optimistic. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (leg) told the media he is a 'full go' for practice on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was limited during the offseason program as a result of a hamstring injury. Although it didn't truly seem like it was serious at the time, there was a looming worry that McConkey's start to the season (or at least training camp) would be delayed as a result. Now that he's ready to, FanSided's G.C. Bellchamber believes McConkey should quickly become Los Angeles' primary offensive weapon in Mike McDaniel's YAC-centric scheme. McConkey is being drafted as WR20, a number he's capable of outperforming. |
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard says the plan is to keep QB Daniel Jones, QB Riley Leonard, and QB Anthony Richardson 'as of now.'
| Footballguys view: That despite the fact that Richardson's trade request, made earlier this year, remains in place. "It is. I think they're realistic and we're realistic," GM Chris Ballard said. "We're not just giving him away, not going to do that." As Profootballtalk.com points out, Ballard's comments suggest the Colts' commitment to keeping all three quarterbacks could shift if another team makes an aggressive play for the 2023 first-round pick. The absence of such a play this offseason may mean that it will take an injury elsewhere in the league for someone to offer the Colts anything that would change their mind. |

Link to storyMinnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy will both get first-team reps as they compete for the starting job in training camp, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: In announcing the plan for the two QBs to share reps, HC Kevin O'Connell told reporters the Vikings are looking to see who can elevate those around them and run the offense with comfort. The shared snaps were expected. Murray still seems like the favorite, but McCarthy reportedly closed the gap in the team's final mini-camp. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Carolina Panthers TE Mitchell Evans was carted off the field at practice on Tuesday, July 28. It appeared as a lower-body injury with no details shared at the time of reporting.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (knee) is a week or two away from practicing, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Pierce, who underwent offseason ankle surgery, was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday. He can come off the list at any time. Remember, the Colts re-signed Pierce this offseason and paid him to be their WR1. It would be great to see him get some work in that role before the season starts. If he's healthy, that role and his WR36 ADP would offer a substantial potential reward for the risk. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team haven't made significant progress on a contract extension as his self-imposed deadline nears Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield, who is set to report to training camp on Tuesday without a new contract, has publicly stated that he does not want to continue negotiations past the start of camp. After signing a three-year, $100 million deal during the 2024 offseason, there's one year left on his current contract. It was recently reported that Mayfield would be willing to play under the franchise tag in 2027, which would be a one-year deal worth $47.97 million. But that, of course, depends on the Buccaneers electing to tag him. We'll continue to monitor, but there's no immediate fantasy impact. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers confirmed Tuesday, July 28, this is his final season.
| Footballguys view: It's not the first time Rodgers has laid out his plan. The four-time MVP will turn 43 during the season. While he has more experience leading the Steelers to the postseason than any other quarterback on the roster, Rodgers isn't getting any younger from here. While anybody can have a change of heart, Dynasty managers should take him at his word and plan accordingly. |

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been fully cleared for training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Achane is expected to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season, and the expectation was that he would be ready for training camp. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health. Achane has been a high-end producer since his rookie season, but with the Dolphins starting a rebuild, 2026 will be the biggest challenge of his career. The uncertainty due to the changing circumstances has Achane falling into Round 2. |
Carolina Panthers TE Mitchell Evans (leg) was carted off Tuesday, July 28, with a left leg injury.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is reportedly making the most of the opportunity before him and has impressed in the early days of training camp, in the opinion of The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: According to Condotta, what has stood out the most is Price's pass-catching and apparent knack for understanding pass protection. Those were two things he wasn't asked to do a lot at Notre Dame. Those were cited as concerns by many analysts when the Seahawks selected him 32nd overall. Head coach Mike Macdonald suggested that Price has a chance to become an immediate starter with Ken Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet still sidelined while recovering from an ACL injury suffered in January. Contributing to the passing game would open the door to that. |
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner (undisclosed) is 'feeling really good' after two offseason surgeries in the spring, according to a source on Monday, July 27. Barner avoided the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and will likely have his reps in training camp managed.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggested, Barner's availability to open camp is a positive early sign after he missed offseason workouts due to a pair of undisclosed surgeries. The 2024 fourth-rounder is looking to defend his role as the Seahawks' clear top tight end in a room that also includes second-year option Elijah Arroyo. Barner started all 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 52 catches (on 68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns. |
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh will be waived by the Seahawks, according to a source on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: The 2023 seventh-round pick began training camp on PUP while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last summer. HC Mike Macdonald recently said McIntosh would return this season, but he left the impression it wouldn't be soon. |

Green Bay Packers RB Chris Brooks (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: The NFI list is for players who are injured away from team activities. Brooks was likely injured at some point outside the team's offseason workout program, reported among the team's injured players on Monday and failed his physical. Unless he can come off the NFI list before Wednesday morning, Brooks will miss the team's first training camp practice. Brooks signed a two-year deal to return to the Packers this offseason. A versatile running back who can catch and block, Brooks is likely to be a top backup behind Josh Jacobs in 2026. |
Free-agent TE Zach Davidson (Giants), QB Jake Haener (Chiefs), WR Malik Heath (Falcons) and TE Scotty Washington (Ravens) recently worked out for the New York Giants. The team also worked out undrafted free-agent WR Eric McAlister (TCU).
