Tennessee Titans quarterback
Will Levis (shoulder) will miss the entire 2025 season as he undergoes surgery on his right shoulder. Levis initially sustained the injury early in the 2024 season and was unable to fully shake the discomfort. Levis started 12 games for Tennessee last season, throwing for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He was expected to back up rookie No. 1 overall pick
Cam Ward this year. With Levis now sidelined, veteran
Brandon Allen is the favorite to assume backup duties. Allen appeared in three games for the 49ers in 2024, completing 17-of-30 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice will be a full participant in training camp despite a likely suspension looming. "We're going to progress as normal with him," Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. "He'll go in and take all the reps that he'll normally take." Rice is facing disciplinary action after pleading guilty to charges related to a 2024 multi-vehicle crash in Dallas. While a suspension is expected, the Chiefs remain committed to involving Rice fully in camp as they gear up for the 2025 season. After being limited to just four games last year, Rice is looking to bounce back in a big way. Through 20 games across his two-year career, he has tallied 1,226 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.

Detroit Lions rookie offensive lineman Tate Ratledge is already making an impression in camp, taking first-team reps at center. The former Georgia standout was selected No. 57 overall in this year's draft and is expected to play a key role in one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses. Ratledge brings a stout anchor and powerful hands in pass protection, along with developing skills in the run game. If he secures a starting role, he'll help solidify the interior line in front of quarterback
Jared Goff this season.

The Dallas Cowboys worked out free-agent pass rusher James Houston this week, adding depth to their defensive line ahead of training camp. While contract talks with star linebacker Micah Parsons remain unresolved, the All-Pro has confirmed he will report to camp. Houston, a former sixth-round pick by the Lions, has registered nine career sacks, eight of which came in a standout 2022 rookie season. With Dallas seeking to improve its pass-rush rotation, Houston presents a low-risk option as camp opens.

The Cincinnati Bengals have signed veteran defensive tackle Taven Bryan to a one-year, prove-it deal. A former first-round pick by the Jaguars in 2018, Bryan has struggled to find consistency in the NFL, recording 11.5 sacks over 46 career starts across seven seasons. He'll join a Bengals defensive front that ranked just 25th in the league with 36 sacks last season, aiming to provide interior depth and help boost a lackluster pass rush.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed second-round cornerback Benjamin Morrison to his rookie contract. The No. 53 overall pick was the final unsigned player from Tampa Bay's 2025 draft class. Morrison is expected to back up Jamel Dean but could see early opportunities on a defense that ranked 29th against the pass last season. The deal includes full guarantees through the first two seasons and 96% of the third.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Case Keenum (undisclosed) was activated off of the active/Non-Football Injury list. The veteran landed on the list on Saturday. However, he's now able to be on the field for training camp. Keenum played for seven different teams before signing with the Bears in April. He's appeared in 80 regular-season contests, throwing for 15,175 yards, 79 touchdowns, and 51 picks off of 62.3% passing. Keenum missed the entire 2024 campaign because of a foot injury. While it appears the signal-caller is finally healthy, he won't have any value for fantasy managers, considering he is projected to be the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart behind
Caleb Williams and
Tyson Bagent.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Kansas City Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis agreed to a four-year, $93 million contract extension with the team. The deal includes $62 million in guaranteed cash, and it will keep him in Kansas City through 2030. The 24-year-old has spent his entire career with the Chiefs since being selected in the first round in the 2022 NFL Draft. He's played well, totaling 115 tackles (68 solo) and 24.5 sacks in 49 regular-season appearances. Karlaftis still has room to develop, which could put him in the Pro Bowl conversation for years to come. His pairing with Chris Jones should also make life more difficult for opposing quarterbacks throughout the 2025 campaign and beyond.

According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts (foot) "appears ready" for training camp. He didn't participate in offseason activities due to a strain in his foot. However, it seems the injury is finally behind him. The 24-year-old finished last season with 47 receptions for 602 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Still, fantasy managers have been disappointed by his lack of consistent production over the years. With
Michael Penix Jr. under center, Pitts will have another shot to turn things around, although there's a good chance the latter's time in Atlanta could be coming to an end. With that in mind, the 2021 No. 4 overall pick has some work to do to convince managers he's worthy of a spot on fantasy rosters regardless of where he is playing moving ahead.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden is turning heads in training camp and building momentum as a potential breakout candidate. After impressing during rookie OTAs, Gadsden has carried that energy into camp, establishing early chemistry with quarterback
Justin Herbert. Though he enters a crowded tight end room alongside veterans
Will Dissly and
Tyler Conklin, Gadsden continues to separate himself with reliable hands and strong route running. The former Syracuse standout offers intriguing upside in deeper fantasy formats and is a name to watch as the preseason unfolds, especially in tight end-premium or dynasty leagues.

Detroit Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw (chest) suffered a chest injury during Sunday's 11-on-11 drills and did not return to practice. The second-year defensive back was projected to serve as the primary backup to Terrion Arnold at left cornerback. If Rakestraw is sidelined for an extended period, Rock Ya-Sin could move up the depth chart. Rakestraw's rookie season was limited after a hamstring injury removed him from a scheduled Week 2 start, and he ultimately appeared in eight games on special teams. The severity of Sunday's injury remains unknown, but it's a situation worth monitoring for the Lions defense.

Former Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback
Desmond Ridder is signing an undisclosed deal with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, per the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Ridder will bring some experience to the Bengals' QB room behind starter
Joe Burrow. The 25-year-old Ridder will join backups
Jake Browning and
Logan Woodside. He was originally a third-rounder by Atlanta in 2022 out of Cincinnati. Ridder made 17 starts in Atlanta in his first two years in the NFL before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2024. He then appeared in six games with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 before joining the Bengals this summer. In three NFL seasons, Ridder has completed 63.6% of his pass attempts for 4,002 yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 25 games (18 starts). He will not be a lock to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.

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.
