Wilson (illness) returned to practice Tuesday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Wilson didn't practice Monday due to a stomach bug, but the wideout is back on the field one day later as the Jets' second preseason game (Friday against the Steelers) approaches. Wilson saw action in the team's exhibition opener, logging two catches for 32 yards on three targets while seeing 11 snaps, but it remains to be seen how much action he and the other starters will see over the final two preseason outings. Wilson is locked in as the Jets' No. 1 WR, and is on track to maintain steady volume in that role.

Washington is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Washington is expected back next week, meaning that the wideout isn't in line to be available for Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers. It remains to be seen if Washington will see any action in the Jaguars' Aug. 28 exhibition finale, but it doesn't appear at this time that his Week 1 status is in question.

Ridley caught his only target for 18 yards in Thursday's preseason win over San Francisco.

Ridley started the contest but was on the field for only the Titans' first drive, logging seven total offensive snaps. The veteran wideout appears healthy after playing in only seven games last season due to injuries, the last of which was a broken fibula he suffered in Week 11 that forced him to IR for the remainder of the campaign. Ridley looks to be set as Tennessee's No. 3 wide receiver this season behind first-round rookie Carnell Tate (undisclosed) and free-agent signing Wan'Dale Robinson, and the health of the Titans' passing game will largely depend on the growth (or lack thereof) of sophomore QB Cam Ward.

The Falcons released Wilkerson on Monday, William McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Wilkerson caught on with the Falcons on Aug. 7 and played 14 snaps (13 on offense, one on special teams) during Atlanta's 24-7 loss to Denver in Friday's preseason game, when he caught one pass on three targets for five yards. He was on the practice squads of the Titans and Bills last year and last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Raiders, when he caught two passes on three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown across three games. Assuming he clears waivers, Wilkerson will look to catch on with a team in need of pass-catching depth.

Collins (concussion) and the Falcons agreed on a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Collins was let go by the Giants on Friday after reaching an injury settlement with the team following a concussion he suffered at training camp. The wide receiver will now have a chance to compete for a practice-squad spot with Atlanta in 2026.

Tillman (undisclosed) did not participate at the Browns practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Tillman was unable to practice for a second straight day as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old is battling for his spot as a top reserve option in the wide receiver room with Cleveland this season, and his status for Saturday's preseason contest against the Bills may now be coming into question.

Hicks and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hicks has spent the entirety of the offseason as a free agent, but he has now found an opportunity before the end of the preseason. The wide receiver will look to make his preseason debut with Seattle on Sunday night against the Titans.

Tyson is expected to miss about two months due to the hamstring injury he suffered last week, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, Tyson sought multiple medical opinions on an injury that coach Kellen Moore indicated is separate from the one he dealt with in the spring, but the 2026 first-rounder now appears to be on track to miss time out of the gate this season. Considering the proposed length of Tyson's recovery, it could be more open-ended than the Saints are letting on, but the team will continue to evaluate the wideout's injury. Meanwhile, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football indicates that starting the campaign on IR -- which would force him to miss at least four games -- is a possibility for Tyson. In Tyson's looming absence, Devaughn Vele, Bryce Lance (undisclosed) and Barion Brown are candidates to see added reps alongside Chris Olave, the team's top healthy WR.

Mims (undisclosed) participated in stretch and drills before working to the side of Monday's training camp practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Mims continues to work through an unspecified injury, which prevented him from playing in the Broncos' preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday. It's unclear whether he'll play in any of Denver's final two exhibition games, but there's no indication that Mims will miss the start of the regular season. The 2023 second-rounder is expected to serve as the Broncos' primary returner on kickoffs and punts while operating in a rotational role at wide receiver behind Jaylen Waddle (leg) and Courtland Sutton, with fellow wideouts Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps on offense.

Williams is dealing with a minor shoulder injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Per Twentyman, coach Dan Campbell indicated that the wideout's shoulder issue is nothing serious, but Williams' practice status figures to be impacted leading up to Saturday's preseason tilt against the Commanders, a game in which the Lions could play some of their starters, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. Williams was among the key Detroit starters who didn't see action in this past Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals.
