    ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi reports it’s “unclear” if Maliek Collins (quad) will be ready for the start of training camp.

    Collins was carted off in Week 13 and spent the rest of the season on injured reserve. He did not participate in OTAs or minicamp. The 31-year-old veteran had 6.5 sacks last year and will be asked to do more in the absence of Myles Garrett this season.

    Mason Graham is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury of his own and Maliek Collins missed today’s practice with a foot injury. That’s three front-seven starters potentially out for Week 6. With Lamar Jackson still banged up, expect the Ravens to give Derrick Henry all the touches he can handle this week.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #96
    Collins opened training camp on the PUP list due to a quad injury that ended his 2025 campaign. He was activated from the PUP list two weeks ago and has been practicing with the team and appears to be in position to play in Week 1 against the Jags. Collins totaled 25 tackles, seven TFLs, and 6.5 sacks in the 12 games he appeared in last season for the Browns and has tallied five or more sacks in each of his last three seasons.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #96
    Collins suffered a season-ending quad injury in Week 13 and was unable to participate in organized team activities and mandatory minicamp this year. Despite missing so much of the season, Collins ranked fourth on the team in quarterback pressures (36) and second in NFL sacks (6.5). The Browns need the 31-year-old player to remain productive this year. Hopefully, he returns soon.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #96
    Collins was carted from the field in the third quarter of the Browns’ Week 13 loss to the 49ers and will now miss the remainder of the season. Collins is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days. The 10-year vet has been playing at a high level in his first year with the Browns, notching a career-high 6.5 sacks in the 12 games he’s appeared in while also totaling 25 tackles, seven TFLs, and 13 QB hits. Collins joined the Browns on a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason and should be ready in time for the start of training camp next season.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #96
    Collins suffered an oblique injury on Friday, but the 30-year-old defensive tackle is good to go. His 21 quarterback pressures and five sacks both rank second on the team. The Browns declared WR Jamari Thrash, OG Zak Zinter, OT Cornelius Lucas, RB Raheim Sanders, DT Sam Kamara, LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold and DE Alex Wright inactive for Week 11 against the Ravens.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #96
    Collins “felt something” during practice on Friday per Kevin Stefanski and left early. Collins has been one of the better players on the Browns defense this year, notching a 90.4 PFF pass rush grade. His absence would be felt if he didn’t suit up on Sunday.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #99
    Collins was a cap casualty for the 49ers this offseason but didn’t take long to land on his feet. Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, his new deal includes $13 million guaranteed. Collins logged five sacks in Houston in 2023 and was then traded to the 49ers for another five-sack season. He started all 17 games and added two fumble recoveries to his stat sheet. Collins will take the place of Dalvin Tomlinson, who was released by Cleveland earlier this week.
  • FA Defensive Tackle #99
    Collins was acquired from the Texans last offseason in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick. The veteran defensive tackle was entering the final year of his contract, but will now be a free agent after a year in which he totaled 33 tackles, five sacks, and five TFLs. His five sacks tied a previous career high while his 715 defensive snaps marked his most since 2019. Collins turns 30 next month and can still provide defenses an adequate body to fill rush lanes and get after the quarterback.
  • SF Defensive Tackle #96
    Houston’s revamping of the defensive line continues unabated just before the official kickoff of free agency. The Niners’ acquisition of Collins likely means Arik Armstead will be released this afternoon. Collins had 11 sacks over the past three seasons with the Texans. In 2023, he set a career high with 41 tackles.
  • Anderson missed practice with an ankle injury he has played through in Weeks 17 and 18. DT Maliek Collins (hip), EDGE Jonathan Greenard (ankle), EDGE Jerry Hughes (ankle), and DT Sheldon Rankins (shoulder) also did not practice on Tuesday. The Texans have had a banged-up defensive front for a couple weeks now, with Greenard being the only player that missed Week 18. Expect most of them to return to practice later in the week, with a good chance to play against the Browns on Saturday.

    Mike Evans (Achilles) limped to the locker room in the second quarter of Week 6 against the Commanders.

    Evans came into the game with two injury designations, ribs and Achilles, ultimately suiting up. He limped to the locker room with the help of training staff and was seen in the tunnel pointing to his Achilles. The 33-year-old receiver has been on the injury report for much of the season, with the most recent ailment potentially proving to be too much to play through. Expect an update from the team after the half. Evans caught 3-of-5 targets for 94 yards prior to departing.

    Terry McLaurin (knee) was carted to the locker room in the first quarter of Week 6 against the 49ers.

    The mechanism of the injury did not look promising, with the veteran receiver buckling to the turf in non-contact fashion. It’s a devastating development for the 31-year-old receiver in what was the first game since Week 1 where Jayden Daniels, McLaurin, and Stefon Diggs were healthy together. Expect further updates from the team as the game progresses, but it certainly appears as if McLaurin’s season could be in jeopardy. McLaurin caught his only target for 27 yards prior to departing. Rookie Antonio Williams and Treylon Burks are the most likely fill-ins for the remainder of the game, and, potentially, the season.

    The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reports Steelers are expected to sign Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

    Say it ain’t so, a former Rodgers favorite set to rejoin him during his twilight tour. Valdes-Scantling is reportedly set to sign to the Pittsburgh practice squad and could work his way to the active roster considering the absence of Michael Pittman, the latter of whom was moved to injured reserve Saturday. There likely won’t be any fantasy value to speak of.

    Mike Macdonald said Zach Charbonnet (knee) has a “good chance” to play in Week 7.

    Finally, some good news for both Seahawks fans and fantasy managers, alike, after the Seattle run game has gotten off to a sluggish start to the 2026 season. Charbonnet has been on the physically unable to perform list through the first six weeks of the season but appears likely to make his return to the active roster for a marquee matchup against the Chiefs in a game some would consider a must-win for the suddenly reeling Seahawks. Macdonald added that the veteran back would get a full week of practice this week before any decision was made. Fantasy managers can add Charbonnet from waivers, if available.

    Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) is active for Week 6 against the Commanders.

    Evans will gut it out in Week 6 as fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel is unable to go. Look for the bulk of the aerial offense to flow through Evans, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey, the three of whom handily led the team in route participation a week ago following Samuel’s departure. Inactive for the 49ers are QB Kurtis Rourke, DE Nick Bosa, WR Deebo Samuel, S Marques Sigle, LB Garret Wallow, OT Enrique Cruz Jr., and DT Naquan Jones.

    Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is active for Week 6 against the 49ers.

    Diggs returns from a one-game absence due a hamstring injury. Although possible he sees his route participation curtailed, fantasy managers that made it this far are likely forced to ride with the veteran receiver in a solid schematic matchup against the zone-heavy 49ers. Inactive for the Commanders are QB Marcus Mariota, CB Fabian Moreau, CB Isaac Yiadom, OLB T.J. Magunranyanga, G Tanoa Togiai, and DE Charles Omenihu.

    Seahawks activated Anthony Bradford’s 21-day practice window.

    Bradford was placed on injured reserve after Week 1, seeing his first step to a return processed with the activation of his 21-day practice window. Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that the veteran guard has a “really good chance” to return for Sunday Night Football against the Chiefs in Week 7.

    Packers signed DT Mazi Smith, formerly of the Dolphins.

    Smith, a former first-round pick by the Cowboys in 2023, appeared in one game for the Dolphins earlier this season and has appeared in just nine games since 2025. The 25-year-old lineman has tallied 57 tackles and two sacks in his career and wouldn’t be asked to serve as anything more than added depth for the Packers if he were elevated to the 53-man roster.

    Rams placed DL Kobie Turner (groin) on injured reserve.

    It’s a tough injury for Turner, who is in the final year of his rookie contract and will miss at least four weeks. He’s been a mainstay of Los Angeles’ defense over his first three years with several high-hurry seasons and stellar run defense. The Rams interior defense has taken a big hit today.

    Rams placed DT Poona Ford (biceps) on injured reserve.

    It will end his season. Ford has been a find for the Rams the last two years as a premium run-stuffer. This injury will test their defensive line depth. The soon-to-be 31-year-old will be a release candidate after the season with an $11.08 million cap hit of which the Rams can save $9.25 million by cutting him.
