Yesterday's Five Biggest Stories

1. Jadeveon Clowney Comes Home to Houston

The Texans are signing Jadeveon Clowney, their own former No. 1 overall pick, who stays in his hometown to play (@RapSheet). Mike Garafolo added that Clowney arrives off an 8.5-sack season with the Cowboys (@MikeGarafolo), and Aaron Wilson pegged the deal at a $5.5 million base with a maximum value of $8 million (@AaronWilson_NFL). Clowney told Wilson it was a family decision about "chasing my legacy" and a Super Bowl rather than money (@AaronWilson_NFL).

2. 49ers Sign Khalil Herbert With the Backfield Banged Up

San Francisco signed veteran RB Khalil Herbert, first reported by Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter). David Lombardi filled in the context: the 49ers view Herbert as a veteran return specialist, and the move comes with both Jordan James and Kaelon Black dealing with issues at running back. San Francisco also signed DE Titus Leo, cut veteran CB Eli Apple and waived/injured rookie DE Mikail Kamara to open the two roster spots (@LombardiHimself). Matt Barrows noted Herbert had worked out for the team last week, so this was a call San Francisco had already scouted (@mattbarrows).

3. Saints DT Bryan Bresee Out for the Season

Saints HC Kellen Moore confirmed that DT Bryan Bresee, who injured his knee last week, will undergo season-ending surgery on his torn ACL (@AdamSchefter).

4. Ja'Lynn Polk Retires at 24

The Saints placed WR Ja'Lynn Polk on the reserve/retired list; the former Patriots second-rounder walks away at 24 (@RapSheet). Nick Underhill reported Polk was healthy, happy with his role and getting significant snaps, and simply decided stepping away was the best path forward (@nick_underhill). Katherine Terrell laid out the cost: New Orleans traded a 2027 sixth-round pick to New England for Polk plus a 2028 seventh, and he never played for the Saints after missing last season injured (@Kat_Terrell).

5. Travis Hunter Turns In His Most Impressive Practice

Still the story in Jacksonville: Michael DiRocco's 11-on-11 snap tracker had Travis Hunter at 17 Day 4 snaps (10 defense, 7 offense) and 56 total (34 defense, 22 offense), and he called it maybe the most impressive practice of Hunter's career, with two catches, one over his shoulder down the sideline and one on a deep over, plus an interception (@ESPNdirocco). John Shipley logged the team-drills INT in real time (@_John_Shipley).

• DL Walter Nolen tweaked a knee, but Mike LaFleur says "he is fine" (@Cardschatter), and Nolen was back practicing Sunday (@JohnnyVenerable).
• Johnny Venerable says the amount of work Marvin Harrison Jr. puts in before and after practice cannot be overstated (@JohnnyVenerable).

Baltimore Ravens

Quiet day in Ravens camp — nothing notable to report.

Buffalo Bills

• Off the field, Gardner-Johnson paid off $20,000 of a Bills staffer's student loans (@AdamSchefter).

Carolina Panthers

• Preseason football is nearly here: the Panthers draw the Cardinals in the Hall of Fame game, per Arizona's depth-chart rollout ahead of the matchup (@Tdrake4sports).

Chicago Bears

• Luther Burden breakout buzz keeps building among Bears watchers (@jacobinfante24).
• The Bears took Sunday off; Courtney Cronin's catch-up from Saturday's rainy practice: Jaylon Johnson is getting back to form against what he calls the best offense he's faced in seven years there, and Zavion Thomas shined in the two-minute drill (@CourtneyRCronin).
• TE Colston Loveland talked honing chemistry with Caleb Williams and his path toward being the best tight end in the NFL (@CourtneyRCronin).

Cincinnati Bengals

Quiet day in Bengals camp — nothing notable to report.

Cleveland Browns

• GM Andrew Berry broke down the QB battle, new coach Todd Monken and life without Myles on Back Together Weekend (@RapSheet).
• Monken says the QB competition won't be decided until the offensive installation is complete and preseason games begin (@ScottPetrak).
• Deshaun Watson discussed his health and trying to bounce back from a surgically repaired shoulder and a twice-ruptured Achilles while competing for the starting job (@RuiterWrongFAN).
• Cleveland would have liked to bring Jadeveon Clowney back, but he chose the Texans, where he lives and trains (@MaryKayCabot).

Dallas Cowboys

• Jadeveon Clowney and his 8.5 sacks from last season are off to Houston (@MikeGarafolo). Full story above.
• The Cowboys were off Sunday, with pads coming on for the first time Monday (@toddarcher).
• Dallas waived/injured DE Charles Snowden and signed OT Sebastian Gutierrez, who tried out Saturday (@tommy_yarrish).

Denver Broncos

Quiet day in Broncos camp — nothing notable to report.

Detroit Lions

• Still the story in Detroit: Jahmyr Gibbs was on the field at Back Together Weekend, watching rather than practicing, as he awaits a new deal in a fervent RB market (@RapSheet). Jeremy Reisman noted it was the first time Gibbs has been out on the practice field with the team (@DetroitOnLion).

• Tucker Kraft spent a while running routes and catching passes from Jordan Love in his second practice off PUP (@mattschneidman). Matt LaFleur called Kraft practicing without a new contract "big-time of him" and said Kraft's goal of being full for the joint practice with the Cardinals is realistic (@RobDemovsky).
• CB Kamal Hadden came off PUP from last season's gruesome leg/ankle injury (@mattschneidman); in his first drill back, a pinky popped out of place, got popped back in, and he jumped right back into the drill (@RobDemovsky).

Los Angeles Chargers

Quiet day in Chargers camp — nothing notable to report.

Los Angeles Rams

Quiet day in Rams camp — nothing notable to report.

• Quinn Ewers hit rookie WR Kevin Coleman Jr. for roughly a 75-yard touchdown after Coleman got behind the coverage (@DavidFurones_), but Ewers also got picked twice by rookie CB Chris Johnson, who blanketed AJ Henning on an incredible interception (@DavidFurones_).
• OL Jonah Savaiinaea says he's a different person mentally since switching from left guard to right guard (@Marcel_LJ).

• Bryan Bresee's season-ending ACL surgery and Ja'Lynn Polk's retirement led the day (@AdamSchefter). Full stories above.
• Tyler Shough uncorked a deep ball up the sideline to Chris Olave that Nick Underhill scored a great throw and catch, whatever the final in-or-out ruling (@nick_underhill). The offense otherwise struggled to close in the red zone, with Julian Blackmon grabbing a nice pick (@nick_underhill).
• The Saints go full pads for the first time Monday (@Kat_Terrell).

New York Giants

New York Jets

Quiet day in Jets camp — nothing notable to report.

Philadelphia Eagles

Seattle Seahawks

Quiet day in Seahawks camp — nothing notable to report.

• The Titans signed DB Derrick Canteen, DT Khalen Saunders and DT Laki Tasi, and released S Hudson Clark, DL David Ebuka Agoha and DL Cam Horsley (@jwyattsports).

Washington Commanders

• Washington signed C Trey Hill, who worked out Saturday, and released CB Tre Hawkins; with C Nick Allegretti out at least a week, the Commanders needed another body at the position (@john_keim).

Where the league's position battles stood after Sunday's practices, with the receipts.

Dolphins Running Back Battle: How to Read the Reps

Jeff Hafley saying he wants Ollie Gordon II "to compete to be a complete back" rather than just a short-yardage back is coach-speak worth translating (@schadjoe). Short-yardage backs get touchdown equity with no floor; complete backs get passing downs, and passing downs are where PPR value lives. The reps to watch start Monday, when Miami puts the pads on, the setting Gordon himself says he can't wait for (@DavidFurones_): unpadded July reps tell you who the staff wants to evaluate, but padded August reps tell you who they trust. Our projections treat a coach's stated intention as a hypothesis, then wait for the padded-practice rep split to confirm it. If Gordon is still catching third-down work in a week, his draft cost will not have caught up to his role.

Injury Watch

• Tucker Kraft, TE, Packers (PUP return): Ran routes and caught passes from Jordan Love in practice two off PUP (@mattschneidman); being full for the Cardinals joint practice is a realistic goal per LaFleur (@RobDemovsky).
• Bryan Bresee, DT, Saints (torn ACL): Season-ending surgery confirmed by Kellen Moore (@AdamSchefter).
• C.J. Gardner-Johnson, S, Bills (calf strain): Carted off, but the Bills consider themselves fortunate it wasn't worse (@JoeBuscaglia).
• Myles Garrett, EDGE (lower-half soreness): Held out of practice a third consecutive day, HC Sean McVay said Sunday (@AdamSchefter).
• Miles Kitselman, TE, and Derrick Moore, DE, Lions (leg/groin): Both left practice early for evaluation (@DetroitOnLion).
• Mikail Kamara, DE, 49ers (knee): Waived/injured after Saturday's cart-off; reverts to IR if unclaimed (@LombardiHimself).
• Walter Nolen, DL, Cardinals (knee): Tweaked it, cleared as fine, and back at practice (@JohnnyVenerable).
• Kamal Hadden, CB, Packers (leg/ankle): Off PUP and back in team drills (@mattschneidman).
• Kwity Paye, EDGE, Raiders: Back on the field after exiting Friday (@samwarren83).
• James Pierre, CB, Vikings: Hasn't practiced the last couple of days, prompting the Jarod Washington depth signing (@alec_lewis).
• Nick Allegretti, C, Commanders: Out at least a week, prompting the Trey Hill signing (@john_keim).
