Ezukanma (neck) participated in Monday's practice session, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Ezukanma was limited for the first two weeks of training camp with a lingering neck injury, but he returned to full participation Monday. Ezukanma is competing against Willie Snead, Anthony Schwartz and rookie fifth-round pick Malik Washington for the sixth wide receiver spot on the Dolphins' 53-man roster.

Patrick caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.

Patrick, who has not played in a regular-season game since 2021, made his return for the team's preseason opener Sunday. With last July's torn Achilles behind him, the veteran wideout played 11 snaps in the contest and reeled in his only target. Heading into the 2024 campaign, Patrick will look to get back to his role as a sure-handed, reliable playmaker in Denver's offense. However, he'll face competition for targets behind No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton, as second-year speedster Marvin Mims and new addition Josh Reynolds should contend for playing time.

Reynolds secured one of his two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.

Reynolds was minimally involved in his first action with the Broncos, playing just 17 offensive snaps and recording just one catch on two targets. The veteran wideout joined the Broncos in March as a free agent, signing a two-year contract worth up to $14 million. As the season approaches, Reynolds will look to carve out a role behind No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton, but he'll face competition for targets from Tim Patrick and second-year standout Marvin Mims in the wide receiver corps.

Mims caught two of three targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.

Mims was on the field for just 17 offensive snaps Sunday, making the most of his opportunities by scoring a touchdown on a one-yard pass from Bo Nix late in the first half. With a strong showing in training camp thus far, the second-year wideout has a chance to take a big step forward in the Denver's offense after a disappointing rookie campaign. The 22-year-old's elite speed makes him an intriguing weapon with the potential to take the top off of defenses. With fellow receiver Courtland Sutton firmly atop the depth chart, Mims will likely compete with Josh Reynolds and Tim Patrick for the second spot in the pecking order.

McConkey (undisclosed) dressed for Saturday's 16-3 preseason loss to the Seahawks but did not play any snaps, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

McConkey has been dealing with an undisclosed lower-body injury at training camp, and though he suited up for action Saturday, the rookie second-round pick was ultimately kept off the field. Though McConkey was in uniform to warm up Saturday, he changed to street clothes before kickoff. McConkey's next chance to take the field and handle exhibition reps will come Saturday at home against the Rams, but it remains to be seen whether the 34th overall pick will be fully cleared by then.

Dulin (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.

Dulin missed practice Friday with a hamstring injury, and the severity of the injury isn't clear. He suffered a season-ending torn ACL back in August 2023 but had returned to practice at full speed at the start of training camp.

Jeudy (leg) is participating in Monday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Jeudy sat out this past Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers due to a leg injury, so it's encouraging to see him now back at practice. The veteran wideout has bounced on and off the practice field recently, sometimes as a full participant and sometimes while limited to individual drills, so it will be worth continuing to monitor his health. Jeudy's next chance to suit up for preseason action will come Saturday at home against the Vikings.

Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Bateman, who exited last Monday's practice, didn't play in Friday's preseason opener, but the wideout now is back on the field, he'll have an opportunity to cement his key role in the Ravens' passing attack alongside fellow starting WR Zay Flowers. Assuming he can stay healthy, the 2021 first-rounder could be poised for a breakout effort in 2024 while working as one of QB Lamar Jackson's primary targets.

Toney (back) returned to practice Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Toney didn't play in the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, but his return to the field Monday could pave the way for him to see action this weekend against the Lions. Now that he's back in the mix, Toney will look to secure a depth role in a WR corps that could potentially be without projected starter Marquise Brown (shoulder) come Week 1.

Hollins (leg) will practice Monday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Hollins missed Saturday's preseason contest against the Bears due to a lingering leg injury, but he's now ready to retake the practice field. The veteran journeyman is competing for the No. 4 wide receiver gig behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel, so it would help Hollins' case if he's able to suit up and put forth a good showing during Saturday's upcoming road exhibition matchup at Pittsburgh.
