Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart is the lone first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft who has not signed his rookie deal, and he did not report to training camp with the rest of the team's rookies on Saturday, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. The 17th overall pick out of Texas A&M didn't take part in any of the offseason workouts, either, due to a contract dispute with the Bengals over the guaranteed money in his first NFL deal. A rumor floated earlier this week that Stewart was considering going back to college with the Aggies in 2025, but Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said Stewart has no intentions of returning to college ball. Stewart would likely need to sue the NCAA in order to gain a final year of collegiate eligibility. The 21-year-old should have a big role in his rookie season, but he's losing valuable development time leading up to it.

The New York Jets announced on Saturday that they placed edge rusher Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) and wide receiver
Irvin Charles (knee) on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list. The team also placed linebacker Aaron Smith (undisclosed) on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. Johnson suffered a torn Achilles in Week 2 of last season and was unable to participate in OTAs or minicamp during the spring. However, head coach Aaron Glenn said that barring any setbacks, the 26-year-old defensive back should be ready for the start of the regular season in early September. The Jets can activate Johnson and Charles from the PUP list at any time during training camp. Johnson, a former first-rounder, was a Pro Bowler in 2023 when he had 55 tackles (36 solo), 7.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, 16 QB hits, an interception returned for a touchdown and seven pass breakups in 17 starts.

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) is on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp due to a shoulder injury that required offseason surgery. However, head coach Dan Campbell said he expects Decker to start working back into practices in early September. "We feel like there's a good chance we can get (Decker) back after the Hall of Fame Game (July 31)," Campbell said. "He's good. Just cleaned up his shoulder a little bit and we're going to work him back in when he's ready to go. He's in a good place." The 30-year-old's availability for the Week 1 season opener against the division-rival Green Bay Packers is up in the air, but barring a setback, Decker shouldn't have to miss too much time (if any) to begin the 2025 season. Decker has started all 131 games (including playoffs) since he was taken 16th overall in the 2016 NFL draft.

Dallas Cowboys three-time All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons will report to the team's training camp in California despite not having a long-term contract extension in place, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. This was always the expectation after Parsons took part in OTAs and minicamp this spring. The Cowboys and the 26-year-old have not worked anything out on a new deal, but it's probably just a matter of time before he becomes the new highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL before the start of the 2025 season. Parsons, who has been a Pro Bowler in each of his four NFL seasons, might only take part in individual drills at camp. The former 12th overall pick in 2021 out of Penn State is an elite pass-rusher and will cost a pretty penny in IDP fantasy formats. Parsons has 52.5 sacks in his four NFL seasons, although he had a career-low 12 in 2024.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike (knee) will miss the entire 2025 campaign after suffering a torn ACL. He was placed on the physically unable to perform list last week, so now we know why. Onwuzurike just signed a one-year, $5.5 million extension with Detroit after a solid campaign in 2024. Last season, Onwuzurike registered 28 tackles, one tackle for loss, and 1.5 sacks in 16 games (10 starts) with the Lions. This is a tough blow to Detroit who was crushed by injuries last season. It's unclear how the team plans to fill the void at the tackle spot.

Chicago Bears defensive back Jaylon Johnson has been placed on the non-football injury list on Saturday. The Bears also placed
Case Keenum,
Jahdae Walker, and
Ian Wheeler on the NFI list as well. The good news is that none of these players are reportedly dealing with anything serious. The Bears certainly need Johnson healthy by the start of the season. The two-time Pro Bowl defensive back figures to remain an important part of this defense going forward. He recorded 53 tackles, eight passes defended, and two interceptions in 17 games last season. Johnson figures to be ready to go by the beginning of the season.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end
Erick All Jr. (knee) has been placed on the active/physically unable to perform list on Saturday. This was expected as All is still recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 9 of last season. Before that, All registered 20 receptions for 158 yards in nine games (six starts) with the Bengals during his rookie season. There is no timetable for his return, so
Mike Gesicki should operate as the primary tight end to start the season. Gesicki is coming off a season where he recorded 65 receptions for 665 yards in 17 games. Those numbers figure to be on the rise considering the Bengals don't have much depth outside of their two star wide receivers.

The New Orleans Saints have signed defensive end Jonathan Bullard to an undisclosed deal on Saturday. Bullard has decided to head to New Orleans after visiting with the team last month. The 31-year-old has spent each of the last three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. During that time, Bullard registered 108 tackles and three sacks across 46 games (38 starts) with the Vikings. Bullard is more known for his impact defending the run than passing situations. That being said, Bullard is likely going to be a rotational player on the Saints, but has enough talent to make an impact as a part-time player.

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dennis Gardeck (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. The 30-year-old spent his entire career with the Arizona Cardinals. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn ACL in the Week 7 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers, ending his 2024 season prematurely. Gardeck has appeared in 96 regular-season contests, totaling 156 tackles (117 solo), 17 sacks, and two interceptions. While he should provide valuable leadership to a Jags defense that struggled last season, he likely won't be a viable IDP contributor. Gardeck can begin practice immediately once medically cleared.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Case Keenum (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Non-Football Injury list on Saturday. The veteran agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears in April after missing the entire 2024 campaign because of a foot injury. He has suited up for seven teams throughout his career before his arrival in Chicago, throwing for 15,175 yards, 79 touchdowns, and 51 interceptions off 62.3% passing in 80 regular-season contests. Keenum is projected to be the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart. While he should provide valuable guidance to
Caleb Williams, he likely won't see much, if any, on-field action in 2025. Keenum can start practicing immediately once he's medically cleared.

New England Patriots tight end
Austin Hooper (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. He won't practice to begin training camp, although he is eligible once medically cleared. The 30-year-old has appeared in 139 regular-season games for the Falcons, Browns, Titans, Raiders, and Patriots since entering the NFL in 2016, amassing 409 catches for 4,178 yards and 28 touchdowns. Hooper is listed behind
Hunter Henry on the depth chart. That likely won't change unless Henry goes down with an injury. Even then, Hooper won't be considered a trustworthy fantasy option. With that in mind, he's not expected to see attention from managers in any fantasy format during drafts heading into the 2025 campaign.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Stefon Diggs (knee) won't start training camp on the active/PUP list. According to Mike Reiss of ESPN,
Austin Hooper, Vederian Lowe, and Jahlani Tavai are the only three Patriots opening up camp on the active/PUP list. Diggs is a full go to participate in training camp and trending in the right direction to suit up in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 31-year-old has made incredible progress working his back from a torn ACL in Week 8 of last season. Reiss did add that the active/non-football list can change at any time. Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million contract with New England during the offseason and is expected to be quarterback
Drake Maye's No. 1 target when healthy. Diggs is currently RotoBaller's WR48 in current offseason rankings, but expect his fantasy stock to go up with the latest news.
