Pearsall (hamstring) worked on the side at Friday's practice and has progressed to route-running at seemingly full speed, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it looks like he could be ready to be activated and resume practicing as early as next week. Once ready to retake the field, the rookie first-round pick might have an opportunity to take advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's current hold-in and get some extra first-team reps in.

Johnson (knee) participated during the first day of padded practice Friday, PJ Green of Fox4 News Kansas City reports.

Johnson was recovering from a torn ACL as recently as Wednesday, but he now appears to be back at or near full speed. After the Chiefs lost L'Jarius Sneed during free agency, there could be some competition at camp for boundary reps at corner this season.

Carolina released Pinckney on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

The Panthers made a series of free-agent signings Friday, and Pinckney became a casualty of their consequent need to free up space on the roster. He'll now search for another chance with a different team.

Lattimore left practice Friday due to an issue with a hip flexor, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but New Orleans will want to exercise an abundance of caution with its four-time Pro-Bowler regardless. Until Lattimore can come back, Paulson Adebo figures to work as the Saints' top corner during team drills.

Seattle released Sutherland on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

In a corresponding move, Seattle signed safety Marquise Blair. Sutherland is still searching for his first regular-season NFL snap, and he'll now have to look for his next shot elsewhere.

Jones tweaked his hamstring at practice Friday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The severity of the injury isn't known at this point, but even seemingly minor hamstring issues sometimes have a tendency to linger. Until Jones is healthy enough to practice again, 2023 sixth-rounder JL Skinner could get more looks during team drills.

Coach Sean Payton said that Bonitto should practice Saturday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

Bonitto left the Broncos' last game of their 2023 season early due to a calf injury, but it doesn't look like that will carry over to the new football year. Now he'll work to try to improve on the impressive benchmark (8.0 sacks) he set for himself last year.

The Rams placed Kenrick (knee) on their injured reserve list Friday.

Kendrick tore his ACL on Thursday, so the procedural transaction doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. The 2022 sixth-rounder had a promising second season as a pro last year and was in line for a significant role in the upcoming campaign, but now he doesn't figure to return to the field until 2025.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Garrett (hamstring) will likely be back to participating in full at practice "shortly," Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett tweaked his hamstring during a minicamp drill back in June, and he's still limited at practice as he works on recovering. Cleveland has every incentive not to rush the reigning defensive player of the year back onto the practice field until he's absolutely ready.

New England signed Peppers to a three-year, $24 million contract Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Peppers was arguably the Patriots' steadiest presence on either side of the ball during the 2023 season, and he's now being rewarded with a solid pay day. He figures to again play a near-every down role next to Kyle Dugger this year.
