Jaguars | Travis Hunter refining skills Sun Aug 2, 08:44 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter has continued to develop as a receiver, according to offensive coordinator Grant Udinski.'He's continued to progress from a route technique fundamental standpoint, but also a knowledge of the offense and just the system in general,' Udinski said.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Braxton Berrios 'has stood out the most' among the group of receivers battling for roster spots, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

New Orleans Saints WR Ja'Lynn Polk was placed on the Reserve/Retired list Sunday, Aug. 2.
Link to storyPhiladelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks had 'another quality practice' on Saturday, Aug. 1, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wicks should get first shot to replace AJ Brown at X receiver. He flashed earlier in his career with the Packers, but inconsistent hands and injuries slowed his development before the Eagles traded for him earlier in the offseason. He should be on our waiver wire watch list, although first round pick Makai Lemon should also have a sizeable role in the passing game and could steal Wicks opportunity if he shows he can hang with NFL corners outside of the slot. |

Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas said he has been leaning on QB Tyson Bagent for advice. 'Every time I have a question before practice or after practice, I go to him,' Thomas said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas was also seen getting chewed out by head coach Ben Johnson during a practice. Johnson is strict, which is part of the reason Luther Burden and Colston Loveland had to work up to their roles at the end of the season. We shouldn't expect a big impact from Thomas early on. In fact, if he does pop before Halloween, that's a great sign for his future and how much he can help add a dimension to this ascendant offense. |
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte would be open to a trade if the right situation presented itself, according to sources.

Washington Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) participated in practice Saturday, Aug. 1, after missing some time earlier in the week.
Link to storyNew York Jets WR Gee Scott (undisclosed) was moved to the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Aug. 1, after clearing waivers.
Link to storyNew England Patriots WR Kyle Williams worked as the top kickoff returner Friday, July 31.
| Footballguys view: There were high hopes for Williams after the Patriots took him in the third round last year. He did make a few big plays with his speed, but the team traded for AJ Brown and signed Romeo Doubs this offseason. Williams could be battling 2025 UDFA Efton Chism III for a roster spot and needs to show growth on offense and value on special teams. |
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has been stringing together solid practices during training camp and had his 'best day' thus far on Friday, July 31, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com
| Footballguys view: Douglas was taken in the third round by the Dolphins even though many had him rated as a late third day pick. He is a speedy, long-framed receiver and the team believes he can do more than he was asked to do at Texas Tech. With fellow third round receiver Chris Bell still recovering ACL surgery, Douglas has a chance to seize a starting role in this almost completely unsettled WR depth chart. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is expected to be a kick returner for the team this season but said he does not expect to have a definite role right away in the offense.

Denver Broncos WR Joseph Manjack IV (back) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 1, because of a back injury but could return to practice as early as Monday, Aug. 3, according to a source.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 1, because the team is limiting his workload in hopes of avoiding a soft tissue injury.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen's tests revealed a bone bruise and he's considered 'day-to-day', according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 1.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) was held out of today's training camp practice due to hamstring tightness, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: Stribling had a few great days to open camp while two of his wide receiver teammates got hurt. He was building momentum to occupy a large role - even with Deebo Samuel signing this week - but needs to manage this hamstring issue well this summer for that to happen in Week 1 against the Rams in Australia. |
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy reportedly left Saturday's practice with a shoulder issue, but onlookers reported that Worthy didn't seem distressed as he left, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: It was the shoulder he injured in Week 1 last year when he ran into Travis Kelce and then had surgically repaired in the offseason, but there have been multiple reports that Worthy is ok, so we should probably file this away as a false alarm. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (PCL) will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, according to GM John Lynch on Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: This is no surprise after Pearsall's knee did not respond well to the open of camp. The PCL injury happened last season, so someone did not manage the rehab of this previously not surgically repaired issue well. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (knee) was carted off the field Saturday, Aug. 1, after sustaining an apparent left knee injury during practice. The injury occurred when Allen collided with CB Kaiir Elam on a special teams punt rep.
| Footballguys view: The injury was just a shin bruise thankfully, but it does slow down one of the loudest rookie hype trains of the summer. Allen had been making spectacular catches almost every day and getting run with the first team while Rashee Rice is still rounding into shape after serving a 30-day jail term right after getting minor knee surgery in May. If Allen returns to practice soon, we'll have to keep him on our late round sleeper list. |
Free-agent QB Clayton Tune (Packers), WR Romello Brinson (Cowboys), TE Louie Hansen (Texans) and TE Matt Lauter (Raiders) recently worked out for the Tennessee Titans. The team also worked out undrafted free-agent WR Devin Voisin (South Alabama).

Green Bay Packers WR Brenden Rice (undisclosed) was waived/injured Friday, July 31.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Malik Nabers did not practice on Friday, July 31. The team had planned it as a day off as they work him back from his season-ending knee injury he suffered last season.
| Footballguys view: This is just a reminder that while Nabers avoided the PUP list, he's not 100% and we can't sound the all clear signal yet on worries about his injury recovery affecting his value early in the season. |
Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, July 31. He will miss the entire 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: There was an initial report that Brazzell would only miss eight weeks, but the team opted for season-ending surgery instead. 2024 first round pick Xavier Legette will be among the candidates for the #3 role that Brazzell had staked a claim to early in his first NFL training camp. John Metchie, Jimmy Horn Jr, Brycen Tremayne, and David Moore are other options the team will evaluate before they make any big move to replace Brazzell's expected impact. |
Free agents TE Josiah Deguara (Cardinals) and WR Trenton Irwin (Bengals) signed one-year deals with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, July 31. No financial terms were disclosed.

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million.
| Footballguys view: Olave now ranks no.6 in the NFL (tied with DK Metcalf) for an AAV of $33 million, and the contract includes $90 million in guaranteed money. He had been held out of team drills early in camp because of this contract situation, and the Saints got it done. Expect Olave to post borderline WR1 numbers this year. He's got a current ADP of WR13 (3.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Free-agent QB Seth Henigan (Colts), RB Jarveon Howard (Bills), RB Ja'Quinden Jackson (Jaguars), WR Cam Camper (Jaguars), WR Jakobie Keeney-James (Packers), TE Zach Davidson (Giants) and TE Heinrich Haarberg (Panthers) worked out for the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, July 30.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he does not have a timetable for his return and that he will play when he is ready.
| Footballguys view: He has been participating in individual drills during training camp. Reports indicate Nabers has been running routes for weeks, so there's a chance he's ready to play against the Cowboys in Week 1. Coming off a major injury, Fantasy GMs will continue to watch his status through camp. |
