Green, Tyler Boyd, Joe Mixon,

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has not practiced since last Wednesday as he’s dealing with a leg injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is having a great training camp so far.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder), who left practice with an arm injury over the weekend, was diagnosed with a shoulder sprain and is considered week-to-week, according to a source.

The Cardinals Defense got a much-needed addition this weekend with the signing of veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. The team recently placed veteran cornerback Robert Alford (pectoral) on Injured Reserve and were in need of support at the position.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has missed two straight practices with what head coach John Harbaugh is calling a “soft-tissue injury.” When asked to elaborate, Harbaugh would not provide any further information, stating, “I’m not getting into all that.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 12 of 17 passes with a touchdown during 11-on-11 drills Friday, according to NJ.com.

Though he’s coming off an incredible 1,000-yard rushing, 1,000-yard receiving season, Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is not aiming for a repeat of that in 2020, per ESPN. Rather, he is focused on winning. New Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is also not focused on his RB getting that achievement again, but rather on the team being able to win some games. McCaffrey is

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Tyreek Hill‘s hamstring injury isn’t serious. “It’s not a big tear or anything like that,” Reid said. Hill is expected to rejoin the team in practice in a few days. Injuries can surely be a concern for the 5-foot-10, 185-pound speedster, but thankfully he dodged a bullet here early in training camp. Hill has

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (thumb) suffered a hairline fracture in one of his thumbs at practice this week, but he could be back at practice with a splint as soon as next week.
