Houston Texans

Miami Dolphins

New York Jets

Seattle Seahawks

As a reminder, players who land on the physically unable to perform list or the non-football injury list can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason. If players remain on either of those two lists following initial 53-man rosters, they’ll be forced to sit out the first four games of the 2024 season.

While the majority of the Dolphins’ injuries were expected, Isaiah Wynn‘s placement on PUP is a bit of a surprise. The offensive lineman continues to recover from a quadriceps injury that ended his 2023 campaign in October, but his rehab is apparently taking longer than expected. After mostly playing offensive tackle to begin his career, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says the former first-round pick is expected to be the “front-runner” at left guard once he’s healthy enough to see the field. Jackson also passed along that Salvon Ahmed‘s issue isn’t related to his season-ending foot injury from last season and is a result of a “minor medical issue.” The RB is firmly on the roster bubble heading into training camp.

There was good news on the Horton front back in May as it was announced that the Texans defender had completed his final treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma. As a rookie out of TCU, Horton sat out the final seven games of the 2023 season on the non-football illness list. As he continues to work his way back to the field, it appears he’ll start the summer on the list, as well.

Thompson’s situation in Kansas City also received some good news of late. After suffering a seizure that caused him to go into cardiac arrest in early-June, the Chiefs defender continues to make progress towards a return. He’ll start the summer on the non-football injury list but will continue to work his way back as he continues with medical procedures, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic.

Texans Add Six UDFAs To Rookie Class

The Texans made a quick turnaround in 2023 thanks to the contributions of a young core. They’ll try to keep improving with this year’s rookie class, which will consist of the team’s nine-man draft class and these six undrafted free agent signees:

Tooley, Barnes, and Payne are all receiving some substantial guarantees as undrafted players, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. Tooley is being guaranteed $125K consisting of $100K of his base salary and a $25K signing bonus. Barnes is being guaranteed $95K consisting of $85K of his base salary and a $10K signing bonus. And Payne is being guaranteed $90K consisting of $75K of his base salary and a $15K signing bonus.

Houston also adds the Janke twins out of South Dakota State. Jaxon was the star of the two after eclipsing the 1,000-yard receiving mark in 2021 and leading the Jackrabbits in receiving for three straight years en route to back-to-back FCS national championships, but Jadon was no slouch in comparison, leading the Jackrabbits in receiving last year. Over 71 games played, Jaxon accumulated 244 catches for 3,677 yards and 29 touchdowns while mostly playing on the outside. In 69 games, Jadon tallied 170 catches for 2,800 yards and 30 touchdowns while splitting time between the slot and outside. Both returned both punt and kicks, with Jaxon mainly doing punt returns and Jadon focused more on kickoff returns. It will be interesting to see if either twin can earn a role in a talented Texans depth chart.
