  • Jeff Foreman WR | LV

    Raiders' Jeff Foreman: Carted off during camp

    Foreman (knee) was carted off during Monday's practice with his left leg in an air cast, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Gutierrez also reported that Foreman's knee injury was of the non-contact variety, suggesting the undrafted wideout could miss substantial time. Foreman likely had only an outside shot of making the Raiders' 53-man roster before this injury, but his chances now seem to be slim to none.

  • Tayvion Robinson: Dropped by Carolina

    The Panthers waived Robinson on Monday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Robinson inked a deal with the Panthers just six days ago, but it now appears that Carolina has decided to part ways with the 23-year-old wideout. The move comes as the Panthers signed Jesper Horsted on Monday to address the plethora of injuries among their tight ends.

  • Bills' Andy Isabella: Carted off during camp

    Isabella (leg) left Monday's camp session on a cart, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

    The 2019 second-round pick out of UMass is fighting for a depth spot on Buffalo's 53-man roster after appearing in just four regular-season games in 2023. The severity of Isabella's injury is currently unknown, and if the 27-year-old misses time, his chances of making it through the Bills' final roster cuts are likely slim.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Oct. 7 hearing scheduled

    Addison has an Oct. 7 arraignment and plea hearing scheduled in Los Angeles County Superior Court stemming from his citation last month for suspicion of driving under the influence, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Seifert, as a result of the July incident, Addison was charged with two misdemeanors -- driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with .08 percent blood alcohol content. The report adds that the wideout could potentially face an NFL suspension once his legal proceedings are complete. As the coming season approaches, Addison is slated to work as the Vikings' No. 2 wide receiver behind top option Justin Jefferson. As a rookie, Addison, a 2023 first-rounder, recorded 70 catches (on 108 targets) for 911 yards and 10 TDs in 17 regular-season contests.

  • Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Competing for WR3 role

    Irwin is competing with Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones for the No. 3 receiver spot as the Bengals' preseason opener approaches, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.

    While Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are entrenched as the Bengals' top two wideouts, Hobson suggests that the team could employ a committee approach behind the top duo. In addition to Irwin, Iosivas and Jones, 2024 third-rounder Jermaine Burton also should have a chance to enter the WR3 equation. On the team's initial posted unofficial depth chart, Irwin is listed behind Chase and Higgins, but that's presumably attributable to his status as a veteran. In any case, based on perceived upside and ADP, Burton and Iosivas appear to be next up on the radar of fantasy drafters in terms of Cincinnati wide receivers.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Back on the field

    Toney (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Toney left practice last Wednesday with an ankle injury, but the 2021 first-rounder's return to the field Monday bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars. He's coming off a 2023 regular season in which he caught 27 of his 38 targets for 169 yards and a TD to go along with 11 carries for 31 yards in 13 contests. While Toney still has a chance to claim a role in the Chiefs' re-tooled wideout corps in 2024, at this stage Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy profile as the team's most fantasy-relevant options at the position.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Expected to miss preseason opener

    Coach Dave Canales said Monday that Legette (foot) remains day-to-day but is not expected to suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Legette left Sunday's practice early with a foot injury, but Canales says the team got "fantastic" news after an MRI revealed no fracture, per Joe Person of The Athletic. The rookie first-round pick will still likely need to wait to make his preseason debut, but the 'day-to-day' label inspires confidence that Legette will be back to full strength without missing much time. Legette is competing for a chance to open the year as a top-3 wideout alongside Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen, with 2023 second-round pick Jonathan Mingo and 2021 second-round pick Terrace Marshall representing his top competition.

  • Johnny Wilson WR | PHI

    Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Pushing for No. 3 WR role

    Wilson has "pushed his way into the competition" for Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver role, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com.

    Parris Campbell (groin) opened camp as the No. 3 receiver with the first-team offense, but the Eagles have also given Wilson, John Ross and Britain Covey some opportunities there. Campbell's groin injury could open up the competition even further, and McManus notes that coaches have hinted at using a rotation rather than locking in one player as the third WR. In any case, it's a role that doesn't figure to come with many targets unless A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith misses time with an injury. Wilson is an unusual prospect and one of the largest WRs in the league, coming in as a 2024 sixth-round pick after running a 4.53 40 at the Combine at 6-foot-6, 231 pounds.

  • Chase Claypool WR | BUF

    Bills' Chase Claypool: Progressing toward practice

    Claypool (toe) did side work with trainers during Sunday's practice, Alex Brasky of the Batavia Daily News reports.

    Claypool has now missed a full week of practice but seems to be progressing toward a return. He's more likely to be left off the 53-man roster than earn regular playing time at wide receiver, but the 26-year-old could get a chance down the road this season if he manages to stick around beyond August.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Steelers' Van Jefferson: Remains favorite for No. 2 WR spot

    Jefferson has taken most of the first-team reps in two-wide formations during training camp, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Jefferson was billed as the favorite for the No. 2 WR job heading into camp, albeit with competition for roles appearing wide open beyond runaway No. 1 receiver George Pickens. Rookie third-round pick Roman Wilson is considered week-to-week after injuring his ankle July 30, and third-year pro Calvin Austin seems like a better bet for the No. 3 role given that he's one of the smallest players in the league (listed at 5-foot-9, 162 pounds). Jefferson thus has a nice opportunity to earn a starting job, although that might entail a lot more blocking than catching passes under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Jefferson's 345 snaps under Smith in Atlanta last season yielded only 28 targets and a 12-101-0 line.
