Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka took an end around at training camp and got rolled up on by a teammate. He limped off the field under his own power and was examined on the training table. The injury severity is currently unknown, but he remained walking on the sideline with both cleats off. He will not return to practice today.

This whole Alec Pierce situation is getting annoying. Colts GM Chris Ballard addressed reporters late Wednesday and said previous reports about the WR getting a second platelet-rich plasma injection on his recovering ankle were innacurate. According to ESPN's Stephen Holder, Ballard said the January PRP injection -- before the surgery -- has been the only such treatment for Pierce.

Jets WR Omar Cooper has had a quiet start to training camp by most accounts. ESPN's Rich Cimini even suggested on Tuesday that WR Isaiah Williams could pass Cooper on the depth chart. WR coach Shawn Jefferson said Cooper has experienced "little pitfalls ... That's part of being a rookie."

Rams WR Puka Nacua was forced from Tuesday's practice with "minor soreness" in his groin, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "The team is just being cautious," Rapoport adds. It doesn't sound like this is anything to worry about in terms of Nacua's readiness for the start of the season, but we'll let you know if that changes. We're also keeping an eye on a potential suspension for Nacua.

49ers WR Mike Evans returned to Tuesday's joint practice with the Titans in pads, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows. Evans missed about a week with a quad strain.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins took part in individual drills Tuesday, according to The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson, before spending the rest of practice on the sideline. He's dealing with a soft-tissue injury he suffered Monday.

Rams WR Puka Nacua left Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys with training staff, according to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. HC Sean McVay had no update afterward. It's been a tough day for Nacua's fantasy stock between this issue and ESPN's Adam Schefter report that he's still at risk of being suspended. We'll update Nacua's status when we learn more.

Amid all the buzz around Bhayshul Tuten or Chris Rodriguez Jr leading the backfield, Sports Illustrated's John Shipley offered a different perspective from Jaguars training camp. “Tuten and Rodriguez are getting near-equal reps, while Allen has been the Jaguars’ top option on all passing downs in camp. That sounds more like a room that is about to spread the wealth than a room that is set to lean on just one face.”

A potential suspension looms over Josh Jacobs per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This comes following an incident on May 23 that left him with a felony assault charge and four misdemeanor charges.

Jayden Reed returned to practice after a brief ankle-injury absence, per Packers beat writer Jason B. Hirschhorn.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Rams WR Puka Nacua is still under league review for his off-field actions over the past 12 months. Nacua was accused of biting two women in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve and made an antisemitic gesture on a livestream in December.

ESPN's Dan Graziano heard from multiple people inside the Raiders organization that RB Ashton Jeanty is expected to play an even bigger role in the passing game this season. That would build on last year's 73 targets, 55 catches, and 346 receiving yards, all top-10 marks among RBs.

After signing with the team as a free agent this offseason, Kyler Murray has officially been named the starting quarterback for the Vikings per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That decision makes former top-10 pick JJ McCarthy the backup.

Colts WR Alec Pierce had a second platelet-rich plasma injection into his left ankle in June, according to multiple reports. Pierce reportedly got the first such treatment back in January but still needed surgery in March. The PRP treatment is meant to accelerate healing.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving endured a rough second season in 2025, losing seven games to a shoulder injury that eventually required offseason surgery. And when he did take the field, Irving saw his rushing efficiency and goal-line opportunities fall off. He slid from 5.4 yards per carry in 2024 to just 3.4 last season, while his rushing-success rate fell from 55.1% (sixth among qualifying RBs) to 41.6% (46th among 48 qualifiers). Tampa also gave Irving no carries inside the 5-yard line, splitting nine such opportunities between Sean Tucker (seven) and Rachaad White (two) in the 10 games Irving played. But there's reason for optimism in Year 3.

Colts beat writer James Boyd believes rookie RB Seth McGowan is the leading candidate for the No. 2 role "thanks to his bruising running style and soft hands out of the backfield."

"There's a high level of confidence" that 49ers TE George Kittle will be able to play Week 1, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. Kittle is still only about seven months removed from tearing his right Achilles, but his rehab has seemingly been ahead of schedule for a while now.

There’s plenty of reason to believe Mason will emerge as the Vikings’ RB1 in his second season with the team. Alec Lewis of The Athletic highlighted him as a training-camp standout: “If you are searching for standouts at training camp, look for Mason. The 27-year-old returned this summer in exceptional shape, and his explosiveness shows up in team drills.”

Concluding the Giants training camp held in West Virginia, Jordan Raanan of ESPN named Isaiah Likely one of the teams’ standouts. He called Likely "Jaxson Dart's No. 1 target."

Another day, another Pat Bryant training camp highlight. Today comes in the form of a 30-yard completion in the middle of the field per Broncos beat reporter Zac Stevens. Later, producing 2 catches for 30 yards from Bo Nix during the team period.
