Nacua (knee) is considered week-to-week and believed to have avoided a serious injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Nacua made an early exit from Sunday's joint practice with the Chargers and was then spotted on the sideline with his knee wrapped in ice. It sounds like he won't practice for a while but is still expected to play Week 1 at Detroit. Nacua's upcoming absences from training camp should free up first-team reps for Tutu Atwell and/or Jordan Whittington alongside returning starters Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson.

Nacua exited Sunday's joint practice with the Chargers with a potential knee issue, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Nacua watched the remainder of Sunday's session from the sideline with his knee wrapped in ice. After practice, coach Sean McVay said he's "not sure" what happened and offered no further update on the Rams' star wideout. Los Angeles has been ravaged by injuries early on this summer, losing would-be starting cornerback Derion Kendrick to a season-ending torn ACL during the first practice of camp before then seeing LT Alaric Jackson (ankle), LG Jonah Jackson (scapula) and RT Rob Havenstein (foot) all getting hurt in the last week. There will hopefully be an update on Nacua in the coming days.

Legette (lower leg) underwent an MRI that ruled out a fractured foot Sunday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Legette left practice early Sunday after suffering a lower-leg injury, but he appears to have avoided any significant damage. The wide receiver is considered day-to-day for the time being with Carolina's first preseason game set to come Thursday on the road versus the Patriots.

The Panthers waived/injured Carter (undisclosed) on Sunday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Carter signed with the Panthers on July 26 as an undrafted free agent, but he now appears to be dealing with an undisclosed injury. If the wide receiver clears waivers, he'll revert to Carolina's injured reserve ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Jeudy (knee) practiced in full Sunday, per the Akron Beacon Journal.

Jeudy has been hampered by a knee injury for most of training camp, but he was able to log a limited practice Friday before participating in full Sunday. The wideout -- who came to Cleveland in an early March trade -- should now be able to work on developing chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Jeudy is slated to function as the Browns' No. 2 receiver alongside Amari Cooper.

Burton (ankle) is back at practice Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burton hurt his ankle in practice Thursday and sat out Friday, but the injury appears to have been minor given his ability to get back on the field Sunday. The rookie third-round draft pick is battling for positioning on Cincinnati's wideout depth chart. Burton, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin and Charlie Jones are all candidates for the No. 3 receiver job for the 2024 campaign.

The Bears waived LeBlanc on Sunday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

LeBlanc joined Chicago as an undrafted free agent in May, but he'll now need to look for an opportunity elsewhere. The wideout tallied 30 catches for 468 yards and four touchdowns as a senior at Louisiana last year.

Moore is working his way through concussion protocol, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't specify that Moore has a concussion, so it's possible that his placement in protocol is precautionary. The wideout left practice early Friday and was subsequently evaluated for a concussion. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play in Cleveland's first preseason game against Green Bay on Saturday, Aug. 10.

Wilson was spotted in training camp without a walking boot Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Wilson sprained his ankle during practice Tuesday and subsequently donned a walking boot, though doing so was deemed a precaution. Head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Thursday that the rookie wideout is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, so he's unlikely to play in the team's first exhibition game Aug. 9. However, the fact that he's no longer wearing a boot (Saunders indicated that Wilson is wearing a wrap instead) is a positive sign that the receiver will be ready to play Week 1 of the regular season.

Legette exited practice early Sunday due to a lower-leg issue, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Dave Canales didn't go into detail about the injury but said the team will evaluate the rookie wideout "as a precaution." Canales also stated that the injury isn't related to the hamstring issue Legette dealt with in late May and early June. If he can return to health and impress in training camp and preseason action, Legette could open the campaign as Carolina's No. 3 wide receiver.
