Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez has participated in individual drills early in training camp, according to John Oehser of the team's official site. Rodriguez missed much of the offseason program with a foot injury and doesn't sound back to 100% yet, though he plans to be ready for Week 1. RB Bhayshul Tuten, meanwhile, has been the star of camp so far. "Tuten's terrific practice performances have simply been a consistent part of the Jaguars' offseason practices and early days of training camp," Sports Illustrated's John Shipley wrote.
Panthers WR Chris Brazzell will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn LCL in his left knee, The Athletic's Joseph Person reports. Brazzell went down after getting tangled up with a defender in Wednesday's practice. The third-round rookie was competing for the No. 3 WR job behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Xavier Legette now becomes the favorite there, though Person says John Metchie and David Moore remain in the mix.
The Falcons opened training camp yesterday without their top two QBs in Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. Tagovailoa had been dealing with back tightness, but he's back at practice today. Tagovailoa opened the day doing individual drills, so the back tightness doesn't appear to be a major issue. Penix and Tagovailoa are currently competing to open the season as the starter.
Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen did some work with the first-team offense in training camp yesterday. The fifth-round rookie drew praise from Andy Reid according to Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports. Reid said that Allen had a good day and Mahomes has some trust in Allen. Goldman also reported second-year WR Jalen Royals struggled, which could create an opening for Allen to pass him if that continues.
Broncos QB Bo Nix was a full participant in the first practice of training camp, according to insider Zac Stevens. It was Nix's first time in full-squad drills since his January ankle injury.

Nix hit WRs Jaylen Waddle, Pat Bryant, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey for TDs during Wednesday's red-zone period, per Stevens.

Giants WR Malik Nabers opened training camp in individual drills, and ESPN's Jordan Raanan said he “looked good” in videos of him running. Nabers tore multiple ligaments in his knee in the second quarter of the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Earlier this year, he underwent a scar-tissue cleanup procedure on the knee, but with him back on the field this early, Week 1 looks like a strong possibility.
Texans WR Jaylin Noel is expected to miss "a few weeks" with a finger injury, GM Nick Caserio said Wednesday.

Dell avoided the PUP list to open training camp, but Caserio said he still isn't ready for full-team work.
Panthers WR Chris Brazzell suffered a "moderate" LCL tear in his left knee Wednesday, according to multiple reports. He's expected to miss "up to eight weeks."

49ers RB Jordan James fractured a rib in Monday's practice and "will miss some time," ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports. James opened camp running as the No. 2 RB, but his absence gives rookie Kaelon Black a chance to grab that job.
Niners WR Ricky Pearsall is sitting out of Wednesday's practice because of swelling in the same knee he injured last season, according to multiple reports. The PCL injury in that knee cost him eight games, including some late season aggravations.
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq took the field Wednesday for the start of training camp, confirming that he and the team appropriately timed his "minor procedure" to address a hernia.
