Wills was benched for Dawand Jones a few weeks ago after making “a business decision” to not play through his knee issue. The impending free agent may have played his last snap for the Browns. Jones went down with a season-ending injury last week. Germain Ifedi took his spot in the lineup and will stay there for Week 12.

Calvin Watkins reports that Parsons is a “hold in” and has a back issue that’s preventing him from participating in training camp practices. Parsons spoke with the media and said that he’s here for his teammates and that “this isn’t for Jerry.” Things are going well in Oxnard! We’re not sure how seriously to take the back injury, but it seems apparent that Parsons will be a little-motivated spectator for much of training camp until the Cowboys actually re-engage with him on contract extension talks.

It’s a sensible pairing as Tristan Wirfs seems likely to miss time early in the season. Fant only played 30 total snaps for the Seahawks last year as he dealt with a knee injury, but was solid for the Texans in 2023. He’s reportedly also drawn interest from the Ravens and Titans this offseason.

Not ideal for a rookie fifth-round pick to miss the entirety of training camp. We’re guessing there’s a chance Frazier winds up on IR at last cuts. Even in a desert of vague PUP listings, you can always count on the Lions to have some concrete injuries.

He’ll be a potential stopgap solution on the interior line for Miami after stepping in much the same way with the Titans last year. In a corresponding move, Miami waived QB Brett Gabbert.

No word on what injury — if any — Waller is dealing with currently, but he was something of a magnet for injuries in his last few years in the NFL so it wouldn’t be a total surprise to see him have one now. He also may just be being brought along slowly after unretiring.

Jewell is reportedly still dealing with concussion symptoms stemming from a Week 16 brain injury. The Panthers are open to re-signing him when and if they subside, per CBS’ Jonathan Jones. Carolina’s depth chart without Jewell is wide open inside, with 2024 third-rounder Trevin Wallace expected to play a three-down role in 2025.

It comes as no surprise, as Godwin isn’t expected to be ready until closer to the start of the season, if then, after dislocating his ankle in Week 7. He’s joined on the list by star tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee), who will likely miss the beginning of the regular season. Both players can come off the list at any time. The Bucs also placed T Silas Dzansi, G Sua Opeta, and QB Michael Pratt on the active/PUP list.

He was absent from a conditioning test that marked the unofficial start of training camp, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This should not come as a surprise as McLaurin seeks a new contract, though the team may choose to start fining him $50,000 per missed day in retaliation. McLaurin enters his age-30 season as the Commanders top target, and though he doesn’t necessarily need training camp to be ready, it would have been nice to see him get re-acquainted with Jayden Daniels ahead of 2025.

Adams played in five games last year between the Lions and Titans, and hasn’t played more than 10 games in a season since 2021. This should probably best be regarded as a depth signing unless we see the former All-Pro safety start making headlines in training camp.

Moss can be activated off the list at any time. There was some question if Moss would actually return to the Bengals this year, but after taking a paycut he is expected to be part of the rotation behind Chase Brown in 2025. How quickly he can actually get on to the field probably has some say in how the running back depth chart plays out this year.
