Word of Donald's workout appeared on the NFL's official transaction log released at 4 p.m. ET daily. Because the workout was held at the Rams' team facility and Donald used official gear, the Rams are required to report his participation to the league or risk disciplinary action.

"Did it come across as a tryout?" Rams coach Sean McVay asked NFL media members gathered after practice.

"Best tryout we've ever had. I think he could make the team."

A nearly certain Pro Football Hall of Fame selection when his eligibility arrives (five years post-retirement), Donald had 111 career sacks in 10 NFL seasons with the Rams. He also had 24 forced fumbles in 154 career games. Donald turned 35 in May, about one month before discussions of his potential return to the Rams escalated.

Donald informed Rams defensive end Myles Garrett he was seriously considering rejoining the team after sitting out the 2024 and 2025 seasons. He's officially on the NFL's retired list. He can apply for reinstatement with the league office to be removed from the retired list. It's likely the NFL would grant the Rams an exception for their training camp roster until Donald is ready to be activated.

Garrett, acquired from the Browns in the offseason deal that involved Jared Verse, and McVay recently voiced optimism that Donald was ready to play again.

McVay said last week things were "going in the right direction" with Donald.

Garrett, 30, is the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He set the NFL's single-season sack record with 23 last season. He has 125.5 career sacks in nine seasons.

The significance was not lost on head coach DeMeco Ryans, who hadn't had Dell available for a team practice since his devastating knee injury on Dec. 21, 2024.

Dell has yet to be cleared for 11-on-11 drills as he goes through the final steps of recovery from the injury suffered during a Week 16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ryans said the Texans are confident Dell is on "the right plan."

"Nothing's changed with his plan," Ryans said. "He got out, did individuals today and we expect him to just continue to progress with how he's feeling. There's no set way of doing it. It'll be based upon how he's feeling and we'll do the right thing by Tank, making sure that we approach it the right way, take care of him the right way, so he's feeling confident when he's able to step back out there in full-team drills."

Dell, 25, had 51 receptions for 667 yards and three touchdowns in 2024.

A third-round pick in 2023, he had his rookie season cut short by a broken leg. Dell played in 11 of the Titans' first 12 games that season and caught 47 passes for 709 yards and seven touchdowns.

The veteran wide receiver held up four digits on his hand but said he was not endorsing Watson, who wears No. 4 for Cleveland, as his preferred starter.

Watson and Shedeur Sanders are competing in training camp to be the starting quarterback for the Browns.

Jeudy said he has been in the NFL long enough to know not to answer a question about his preference at the position on social media.

"I think I'm mature enough and wise enough to not answer questions like that," Jeudy said. "For everyone to believe that I would answer something like that on social media is kind of wild, but you got to understand this where we're in and understand how everybody's viewing the quarterback competition in this room."

There appears to be an obvious edit in the video between the time a question is asked and Jeudy's response. He told media on Wednesday that he cut his daughter out of the video, but not his response to a viewer's question about her age.

"I threw out the four because she's 4 years old," Jeudy said.

Jeudy said he huddled with the Browns, Watson and Sanders to communicate his side of the story because of the amount of attention the video received.

"I don't know what they're thinking in their mind, so I had to just go up there, clear it up to them and know what really happened and not what the media portrayed it to be," Jeudy said.

First-year head coach Todd Monken plans to give Sanders and Watson at least one start in the preseason.

Sanders, a fifth-round pick in 2025, threw a 60-yard TD pass to Jeudy in a 31-29 home loss to the Tennessee Titans last season, but otherwise the duo failed to connect consistently. Sanders had seven touchdown passes and 10 interceptions in 10 games.

Jeudy, the Broncos' first-round pick in 2020, was questioned for social media behavior during his Denver tenure -- abrasively engaging NFL media personalities and defending his team's 1-5 start in 2023 -- and media wondered aloud if then-quarterback Russell Wilson was "ignoring" the receiver.

"Jerry Jeudy has an unbelievable ability to get open," Wilson said in Dec. 2023. "I think he's really special."

Haddad is set to join the Lions in September after 14 years at Pistons Sports & Entertainment, where he served as the NBA organization's chief operating officer.

A Michigan native, Haddad was a key member in bringing the WNBA back to Detroit. The WNBA's latest Detroit franchise will make its debut in 2029.

"As a lifelong Lions fan, I understand firsthand how much this team means to this city and state, and I'm honored and humbled to lead this franchise," Haddad said in a release.

Wood, who announced his retirement in February, served as the franchise's president and CEO for 11 seasons.

Diggs, 32, played last season with the New England Patriots and posted his seventh 1,000-yard campaign in the past eight years.

ESPN reported Diggs is getting a one-year deal with the Commanders worth up to $12 million with incentives.

New England released Diggs on March 4 after he played one season on a three-year, $63.5 million contract.

On May 5, Diggs was acquitted by a jury in Dedham (Mass.) District Court of strangling or assaulting his private chef in an alleged incident from December.

The following month, the NFL reportedly determined that there was insufficient evidence of any violations by Diggs of the league's personal conduct policy. That means he is not facing a suspension for the 2026 season.

Returning from a torn ACL, Diggs caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games last season. He added 110 yards and a touchdown on 14 receptions over four playoff games as the Patriots reached Super Bowl LX, losing 29-13 to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Maryland product was a four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Buffalo Bills from 2020-23.

Diggs played five seasons for the Minnesota Vikings (2015-19) before joining the Bills. He also played for the Houston Texans in 2024 before signing with the Patriots and has 942 catches for 11,504 yards and 74 touchdowns in 161 regular-season games (153 starts).

Diggs would provide a quarterback-friendly target for third-year Commanders star Jayden Daniels, whose current wide receivers include veteran Terry McLaurin, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown.

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed the status for Love, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.

With Love on the sideline, the Cardinals are expected to feature offseason acquisition Tyler Allgeier, among others.

Love was a Heisman Trophy finalist last season at Notre Dame, finishing third behind Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia.

Love won the Doak Walker Award winner as the top running back in college football.

He racked up 199 carries for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, as well as 27 receptions for 280 yards and three TDs. He averaged 6.9 yards per carry and his 21 total touchdowns broke the Fighting Irish's single-season record set by Jerome Bettis (20) in 1991.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The report comes on the heels of the 49ers losing Ricky Pearsall to a season-ending knee injury.

Pearsall, a 2024 first-round pick, initially sustained the injury in Week 4 last season. He has 67 catches for 928 yards and three touchdowns in 20 career games (13 starts).

Hodge, 31, spent the past four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons but was limited to just three catches for 31 yards in 12 games (one start) in 2025. He spent the majority of his time competing on special teams.

He has 67 catches for 1,026 yards and two TDs in 118 career games (10 starts) with the Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions and Falcons. Hodge entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2018.

The report confirmed initial fears by the Falcons after Walker was carted off the field at training camp on Tuesday. He suffered the injury during a two-minute simulation in a non-padded 11-on-11 practice.

Teammates took a knee and surrounded Walker as he was being treated, bringing a somber end to Tuesday's session.

The loss of the 15th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft is magnified given the team's issues at edge rusher.

James Pearce Jr., who was selected 11 picks after Walker in that draft, was arrested on domestic violence charges in February. The NFL could opt to suspend him if it determines he violated the league's personal conduct policy.

Walker, 22, had 5 1/2 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, nine quarterback hits and 36 tackles in 15 games (nine starts) in 2025.

The star running back achieved one of his goals on Wednesday morning by signing a contract extension that spans through the 2030 season.

While financial terms were not disclosed by the team, multiple outlets reported the extension is valued at a maximum of $75 million over three years.

Robinson will become the highest-paid running back in NFL history with $51 million guaranteed and $37 million due as a signing bonus, ESPN reported on Tuesday.

"To keep playing with these guys and this organization, this is one of my dreams, to stay with one team," Robinson said. "I think that is such a cool thing just because guys like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan they all stayed on their one team, so I think that is a cool legacy thing for yourself.

"I am excited for everybody to keep watching the gifts that I have been given, and hopefully we get to do some incredible things. The signing is great, but it is more so for me, just being able to be here and play for this organization."

Robinson, the No. 8 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, had a league-high 2,298 yards from scrimmage in 2025 with 11 touchdowns and was named first-team All-Pro.

"Last year was a cool year," he said, "but this year I want to be even better in all aspects."

Robinson, 24, has scored 34 TDs in 51 career games (50 starts).

"First and foremost, we respect Bijan as both a person and a player," Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham said. "He's a dynamic playmaker whose production and impact on the field speak for themselves.

"Just as importantly, Bijan embodies everything we want the Atlanta Falcons to stand for. He approaches his craft with humility and consistency, elevates the people around him, is a tremendous teammate, and represents this organization with class in our community.

"As we continue building this football team, we want to recognize and reward players who perform at a high level, positively impact our culture every day, and embrace the responsibility that comes with wearing the Falcons uniform. Bijan has earned that through the way he works, the way he leads, and the way he carries himself."

Robinson was active in minicamp and mandatory workouts in the offseason. But since reporting to training camp, he had been attending daily sessions but idling on the sideline while the Falcons address his contract status.

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said they'll be cautious with how they get Robinson up to speed with nearly six weeks until the regular-season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 13.

"He's eager -- beyond eager -- to get out there," Stefanski said. "So, on that note, we'll slowly get him back in there. It won't be full go and let him go. We'll have a plan here over the next, call it, week to ramp him up."

Robinson already was signed for the 2026 season and the Falcons picked up his fifth-year option for $11.323 million in 2027 before the agreement.

Robinson is the latest core player to sign a long-term contract to stay with the Falcons since Matt Ryan was named team president of football in January. Wide receiver Drake London, tight end Kyle Pitts and guard Matthew Bergeron all signed for at least three more years in the offseason.

The Falcons lost running back Tyler Allgeier in free agency to the Arizona Cardinals but added Brian Robinson, who has played for the Washington Commanders and San Francisco 49ers, and third-down back Tyler Goodson to work behind Bijan Robinson this season.

Colon, 28, signed a one-year contract with the Jaguars in early June before the start of minicamp.

He played in 12 games at center with four starts last season for the Detroit Lions. He participated in 24% of the offensive snaps (183) and 19% of special teams snaps (66).

Formerly known as Colon-Castillo, he played in a total of 63 games with 19 starts for the Baltimore Ravens (2020-22), Arizona Cardinals (2023-24) and Lions. He played all three interior line positions.
