Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (knee) is considered day-to-day or week-to-week because of a knee injury, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Expectations were high for McMillan, who suffered a serious neck injury last preseason that limited him to just four games during the 2025 season. He returned to action in Week 14. Two games later, he recorded the first 100-yard game of his career. He finished the final two weeks of the season with 12 receptions for 178 yards. During his rookie season in 2024, he totaled 37 receptions for 461 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games. We'll continue to follow up as developments warrant. |
Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was activated from the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Bell, wearing a red non-contact jersey, practiced for the first time on Monday. He participated in stretching and individual drills, but he sat out of 11-on-11 work. Bell tore his ACL in December. His return to full health could potentially give Miami an exciting pair of young wide receivers. Fellow rookie Caleb Douglas has been one of the standout players at training camp and started the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Commanders. We'll continue to monitor Bell's progress. |
Dallas Cowboys WR Traeshon Holden was waived Monday, Aug. 17.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Nacua is dealing with a core muscle injury suffered during last week's joint practice with the Cowboys. The Rams will host the Saints for a preseason matchup on Saturday afternoon. Nacua was not expected to play even without being injured, as Los Angeles has not traditionally played starters in the preseason under head coach Sean McVay, who told reporters that Nacua should return to practice next week. We'll continue to watch this one closely. |

Free-agent RB Anthony Hankerson (Dolphins) and WR Julian Hicks (Packers) signed with the Seattle Seahawks Monday, Aug. 17. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed. The team also waived RB T.J. Harden and RB Justin J. Jones.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Beaux Collins (Giants) agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons Monday, Aug. 17, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Collins, 23, signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2025. He played nine games as a rookie last season, catching two passes for 25 yards. Collins saw action on 84 offensive snaps and 109 on special teams before going on injured reserve, where he finished the season. |
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) participated in practice Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Smith missed the last couple of weeks with his hamstring injury, so his return is obviously good news. The Eagles' pre-practice injury report said that Smith will be a limited participant. Smith's return means that the Eagles are now only waiting for Makai Lemon to fill out their receiver group. Lemon is also dealing with a hamstring injury and has been out since early August. |

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (illness) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 17, because of an illness.
| Footballguys view: Jets coach Aaron Glenn said the issue was a stomach bug. As CBSSports.com suggested, assuming Wilson is able to move past the illness and regain strength within the next few days, his preparation for the start of the regular season shouldn't be dramatically affected. Wilson, who's being drafted as WR20 with a fourth-round price, suited up for the Jets' preseason opener Friday against the Buccaneers and displayed a strong early connection with new starting quarterback Geno Smith, recording two catches for 32 yards on three targets in limited snaps. |
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (hamstring, finger) will miss a few weeks after suffering a setback, according to wide receivers coach Ben McDaniels.
| Footballguys view: Noel, sidelined by a minor finger issue, was activated from the NFI list and was working off to the side in wide receiver drills to get back on the field. But Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports that Noel is now dealing with a hamstring injury in addition to the finger injury. It's a tough break for the Texans' second-year wideout, who, while he's expected to see a big bump in opportunities in 2026, can't seem to get on the field in training camp. We'll follow up as developments warrant. |
Free-agent WR Noah Brown (Commanders) agreed to terms with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Aug. 16. Terms of the deal were undisclosed. In a corresponding move, DT Benito Jones was cut.

Miami Dolphins WR Jalen Reagor worked as the No. 3 receiver in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Commanders. He was working ahead of WRs Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, and others, seeing reps alongside WRs Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington. 'He had earned the right through practices to put himself in that situation,' head coach Jeff Hafley said. 'I like the way he strained. He's catching the ball well. Run after the catch has good. He's blocking well.'

Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen caught two of his team-high five targets for 20 yards in the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Allen has done nothing to slow down the momentum he has been building as a player who will be active and part of the offense immediately as a fifth round rookie. Given that neither Rashee Rice or Xavier Worthy is 100% right now and neither is known for durability, Allen should be a priority player on your late round target list. |
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane finished with three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The hype train for Lane is not slowing down. He is firmly in the top three Ravens wide receivers, and could overtake Rashod Bateman in the target pecking order soon at this rate. Lane should be on your late round target list, with extra value in .5 and nonPPR leagues as a deep threat and playmaker. |
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion caught three of his four targets for 27 yards and added a 14-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion looked like he is going to play a significant role in this offense, given his talent for adding yards after the catch on safe, high percentage short throws. This was the domain of Harold Fannin Jr. last year, so the rise of Concepcion might not bode well for Fannin's ceiling even though he should be even better in his second season. Concepcion remains worth a pick in the second half of your draft as a speculative bench stash, especially in PPR leagues, but if he and fellow rookie Denzel Boston are hits, Fannin probably won't live up to expectations. |
Buffalo Bills WRs DJ Moore (ankle) and Keon Coleman (lower body) were both tended to on the sideline, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 15. Trainers attended to Moore's ankle area after the second drive, but he stood on sidelines for the rest of the game. Coleman was tackled on third offensive drive after his last catch favored the lower body.
| Footballguys view: The injury mechanism for Moore looked like it could have been a high ankle sprain, but head coach Joe Brady said that Moore was "good to go" after the game. We'll wait to see his practice participation this week before closing the book on this injury scare. Coleman's injury is more mysterious, and maybe a bigger concern. Brady said he was okay after the game, but Coleman was wearing a walking boot while walking his dog in an instagram post made after the game. Coleman scored the first touchdown in the Bills new stadium and appeared to be gaining some momentum before the injury. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR Darius Cooper, who is making a strong bid for a roster spot, played 29 offensive snaps, or 66 percent of the plays, in the preseason opener Saturday, Aug. 15, against the Baltimore Ravens. He led the team with 21 receiving yards on two receptions with a team-high five targets.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has been getting first-team reps with the offense in practice. 'He's earned those reps but he's got to stay humble and stay hungry,' head coach Klint Kubiak said Sunday, Aug. 16.
| Footballguys view: Deep dynasty league players should have Benson on their radar, especially in .5/nonPPR leagues or leagues with big play bonuses. His deep speed is as good as any receiver in the class, and it sounds like he is taking to NFL coaching in his first training camp. |
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields caught all three of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
Link to storyMinnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison caught his only target for eight yards in the preseason game against the New York Giants Saturday, Aug. 15.

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints DT Christen Miller (shoulder) and RB Audric Estime (ankle) are being evaluated on the severity of their injuries, according to HC Kellen Moore on Saturday, Aug. 15. No further upside on WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) as the Saints are 'still in collection mode.' WR Bryce Lance (soreness) was available to play but was banged up in Thursday's practice.

Free-agent LB Brandon George (Chiefs) was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 15. The Eagles also waived WR Brandon Hayes.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) is not expected to play in tonight's preseason game, but was playing catch on the field during early warmups, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 15.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) is participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Cowing has been making big plays this offseason. Reporters around the team have suggested that Cowing could carve out a role on offense while also contributing on special teams as a return man. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) is participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The quad strain Evans has is considered 'very minor' from reporters around the team. Evans can still produce as a WR2 for Fantasy GMs if he's healthy. He has a current ADP of WR29 (6.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 15, and head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that neither receiver is likely to practice this week.
| Footballguys view: With no practice for either receiver this week, Metcalf and Pittman will miss the next preseason game against the Jets. In the third preseason game, they may not play either (many starters don't play in that contest). That means the next time we see both on the field at the same time is likely the start of the regular season. The injuries are undisclosed, but it's safe-ish to assume they'll be out there for Week 1. As always, stay tuned. |

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson's (hamstring) current hamstring injury is not related to hamstring issues that he experienced last year while playing for Arizona State, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: We have some clarity on this hamstring injury, which is good since Tyson missed the NFL Combine due to the college hamstring injury. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Tyson is seeking multiple opinions on his recent injury. We'll now see how much time it takes to recover from this latest hamstring problem - and if he can avoid further issues. Tyson has a current ADP of WR48 (8.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Washington Commanders WR Antonio Williams caught one of his three targets for 16 yards in the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Friday, Aug. 14.

Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (toe) has been diagnosed with a sprained toe after meeting with a specialist, and the team is optimistic that he will be available for Week 1.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Beaux Collins (undisclosed) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Aug. 14, after both sides reached an injury settlement.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will miss time, and the injury could linger into the season, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: That Moore is allowing for the possibility of this injury keeping Tyson out four weeks - the amount of time until Week 1 - is discouraging. Hopefully the team is just being extra cautious with Tyson because of how long it took for to recover from his last right hamstring injury. Moore said this injury is not a recurrence of the previous injury, but that is small solace. Devaughn Vele and Juwan Johnson would pick up the slack in the passing game for any time that Tyson misses. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught both of his targets for 23 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: The glass half empty take here is that Wilson gave way to Jalen Brooks for four snaps with the ones. The glass half full take is that Wilson still led the offense in catches and yards in that very small sample. With the Cardinals offense looking more game under Mike LaFleur, Wilson is becoming a more attractive pick around his 8th round ADP, especially in PPR leagues. |
Michael Wilson player page
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught a seven-yard touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Harrison led the wide receiver group in snaps, but ran the same number of routes as Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne. He was able to separate on a crossing route in the red zone and Jacoby Brissett stood in to deliver a laser into a crowd for the score. That should build Harrison's confidence. It will be difficult for Harrison to have a true breakout season in this crowded offense, but as long as Brissett starts, it could be productive enough for Harrison to deliver his ADP value - which is in the sixth round of most drafts. |
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed caught one of his two targets for 19 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reed's role did not grow to include two wide receiver sets in the offense's first action since Romeo Doubs left to sign in New England. That was Matthew Golden's spot. But Reed still ran as many routes as Golden and Christian Watson and got the most targets and catches. |
