Keys left Tuesday's practice session after sustaining a leg injury and did not return, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Keys sustained the injury during one-on-one drills at practice. He played 15 snaps (14 on offense, one on special teams) in Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears, finishing with one catch for 13 yards. The undrafted rookie out of Tulane is a long shot to make the Bills' final 53-man roster, and missing preseason games would hurt his chances even more.

Stanley (hamstring) participated in drills during Tuesday's practice session, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Stanley sustained a hamstring injury practice in the week leading up to the Packers' preseason opener against the Browns on Saturday. He was unable to suit up for that contest, but he appears to have fully recovered from the injury. Stanley is gunning for a depth spot at wide receiver, and he'll look to make a case for himself to make the final 53-man roster in Green Bay's next preseason bout against Denver on Sunday.

The Cardinals signed Baldwin to a contract Tuesday.

Baldwin spent time with Atlanta earlier this offseason but was cut by the team early August. Now, the third-year pro gets a chance to compete in Arizona's wide receiver room. Baldwin appeared in one game with the Browns as a rookie in 2022, but he hasn't suited up for regular-season action since then.

The Bills waived Thompson (hamstring) with an injury designation Tuesday.

Thompson will revert to Buffalo's injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on waivers. He spent time on the team's practice squad last season after going undrafted out of Arizona State.

Chase (undisclosed) missed practice Tuesday, but coach Zac Taylor offered no details on the issue that sidelined him, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Chase has yet to actually participate in practice in training camp, but until Tuesday he'd been present every day while in street clothes. It remains to be seen whether his absence is related to an injury sustained during private workouts, a personal matter, or his ongoing contract dispute. In any event, it's a new development as the star wide receiver's hold-in continues.

Brown (shoulder) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks due to a sternoclavicular injury suffered during Kansas City's preseason opener against the Jaguars, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Brown's recovery timeline aligns with coach Andy Reid's earlier estimate, which was based on the amount of time former Kansas City wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed due to a similar injury in 2019. The timing makes it appear unlikely that Brown will be available for the regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, though the team has yet to rule him out. If Brown's recovery timeline ends up being closer to six weeks, he could even be a candidate to begin the year on IR. Given that Rashee Rice's legal issues and potential suspension are still pending, that leaves Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney as the top wideout options sure to be available for Week 1.

Perry made an early departure from Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Perry left the field with athletic trainers, after which coach Dennis Allen clarified the nature of the second-year pro's health concern. The Saints' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, but all of Rashid Shaheed (hamstring), Equanimeous St. Brown (hamstring) and Bub Means (undisclosed) returned to drills Tuesday in red non-contract jerseys, indicating the trio is making progress. It's unclear whether or not Perry's current issue may impact his ability to build on his 4-85-0 receiving line from this past Saturday's contest at Arizona in New Orleans' next exhibition game Sunday in San Francisco.

Shaheed (hamstring) donned a red non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Shaheed was sidelined by a tight hamstring Aug. 3, which kept him from suiting up for this past Saturday's preseason contest at Arizona. Tuesday's development marks his first visible on-field activity since then, but he will need to ditch the non-contact jersey before he gains clearance for game action, which could come as early as this Sunday in San Francisco.

Nabers (ankle), who is not practicing Tuesday, said he has "no doubt" he'll be able to play in Week 1 and that his injury is "nothing serious," Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Nabers is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's practice due to an ankle issue, and MRI and X-Ray tests revealed Tuesday that the rookie first-round pick has indeed avoided a serious issue. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that the issue is a sprain, which Nabers said won't need any support when he's ready to return to action. It's a relief that his availability for New York's regular-season opener against Minnesota on Sept. 8 isn't in jeopardy, but the injury will force him to miss some practice time in training camp and could impact his status for the Giants' final two preseason games, starting with Saturday's matchup against Houston.

Campbell (groin) returned to practice Tuesday as a limited participant, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Campbell was out for more than a week, missing a handful of practices as well as Philadelphia's preseason opener. Limited participation Tuesday suggests he's not likely to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, but he's at least on the right track to suit up for the final exhibition Aug. 24 against Minnesota. Campbell opened camp as Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver in three-wide sets -- a role he'll need to defend against competition from Johnny Wilson, John Ross and others.
