Harley (head) returned to the field Tuesday for practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Harley suffered a concussion during practice Thursday and was in the league's concussion protocols. His return to the field should be good news for his recovery, but it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up Thursday against the Jets.

Darden is not practicing Tuesday due to a leg injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Darden had been performing well during training camp, but his recent injury will leave him in danger of falling down the team's positional depth chart, as well as possibly missing Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets. He'll continue working to get healthy and back on the field.

Ridley (undisclosed) sat out portions of Tuesday's practice, the Jaguars' official site reports.

According to Channel 4 Jacksonville, Ridley stopped participating in drills midway through Tuesday's session and headed over to sit in the team's cooling tent. Though the wideout subsequently rejoined his teammates, Ridley didn't return to the field. With that in mind, it appears as though the 28-year-old's limitations weren't injury related, and chances are he'll be back in action the next time the Jaguars take the field.

Renfrow has avoided addressing trade rumors and recently said he'd like to prove the Raiders right for re-signing him, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Renfrow's 2021 breakout led to a two-year, $32 million contract extension last summer, with new coach Josh McDaniels and new general manager Dave Ziegler apparently optimistic the slot receiver would continue the success he enjoyed under the previous regime. It didn't work out that way, as an oblique injury and concussion cost Renfrow seven games and contributed to a career-low 330 receiving yards, barely more than half of his previous low-water mark. The Raiders then signed Jakobi Meyers in March, which led to speculation Renfrow could be traded, although the current plan seems to involve Meyers playing the perimeter more than he did in New England. There's no financial incentive to release Renfrow, as he already received a $4.32 million roster bonus and his $6.5 million base salary for 2023 is guaranteed. A trade might make sense, but there's theoretically room for both Meyers and Renfrow to see a decent number of targets in a Raiders offense that lost TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins this offseason -- especially if RB Josh Jacobs remains away from the team into September.

Coach Sean Payton confirmed Tuesday that Patrick sustained a torn Achilles on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

The 29-year-old wideout will miss a second consecutive season after an ACL tear last summer wiped out his 2022 campaign. Patrick will try to make it back next year for the final season of the three-year, $30 million contract extension he signed in 2021.

Nacua returned to practice Saturday after suffering from cramping Thursday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Nacua shined during a practice that took place Saturday and was open to fans. Jackson specifically notes a 30-yard, over-the-shoulder catch near the corner of the end zone. Selected in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, Nacua has the opportunity to move pretty far up the Rams' positional depth chart with not a lot of clarity in the pecking order behind Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson.

Harley hasn't practiced since Thursday after leaving camp early and has been in concussion protocol, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Harley spent time on Cleveland's practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2022. The Miami product has yet to touch the field in the NFL, so once he's healthy, he'll most likely be competing for a depth role in the team's wide receiver room or even practice squad ahead of the coming season.

Williams agreed to terms with the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

In the wake of wide receiver Tim Patrick's Achilles injury Monday, the Broncos signed Williams, who they waived just three days prior. The UNLV product was signed by Denver as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He'll be competing for a depth spot within the team's wide receiver room ahead of the coming season.

Wilson (ankle) had a good workout Tuesday and is expected back at practice Saturday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Wilson, who suffered a low ankle sprain last week at practice, is thus slated to miss the Jets' preseason opener Thursday against the Browns. Assuming no setbacks once he returns to the field, the wideout could potentially see work in the team's second exhibition contest, Aug. 12 against the Panthers.

Cain (ankle) did not participate in Eagles camp Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Cain was signed by Philadelphia less than one week ago after spending time on the team's practice squad over the past two seasons. The 2018 sixth-round pick hasn't seen the NFL field since 2020 and has caught nine passes for 124 yards in his career.
