Hanson (concussion) is participating at the Jets' organized training activities, Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Hanson was placed on New York's injured reserve prior to last season's final week. It seems as though he has since cleared all the league's concussion protocols, given his presence at OTAs. He is projected to compete for a depth role on the team's offensive line in the upcoming season.

Wheatley (knee) is participating in the Patriots' organized team activities, Greg A. Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal reports.

Wheatley went on New England's injured reserve in October of last season due to a knee injury. His participation at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par at this point. Barring any setbacks, he will continue competing for a depth offensive line role heading into the season.

Ekuale's season ended in September of last year after the Patriots placed him on injured reserve with a torn biceps. His participation at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par. The veteran defensive tackle is projected to provide depth on New England's interior defensive line this season.

O'Neill (foot) took part in practice Friday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

O'Neill played in only one of Minnesota's final four games last season with what was eventually disclosed as a small fracture in his left foot. He appears to be back to full health and is slated to work as the Vikings' starting right tackle for the 2024 campaign.

Miller is progressing in his return from an Achilles injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Miller was hurt in the Jaguars' final preseason contest last August and missed the entire campaign. The 2023 fourth-round pick will look to make his NFL debut in 2024 and could work his way up to prominent role among the team's linebacker corps.

Bootle (knee) participated in offseason practice Wednesday, per a video shared by Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site.

Bootle landed on injured reserve with a knee injury last November and didn't return for the remainder of the campaign.

Now that he's back to being healthy, Bootle will compete for a depth role in Carolina's secondary for the coming campaign.

Hamm (ankle) has been taking in part in the Ravens' offseason practices, per a photo shared on the team's official site.

Hamm was on injured reserve all of last season, though he was designated to return in early December. He now appears to be back to full health and will be able to compete for a depth role on Baltimore's defense during training camp.

The Jets waived Stepp (undisclosed) from IR with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The veteran is expected to compete for the Eagles' No. 2 tight end role behind Dallas Goedert.
