  • Mike Harley WR | MIA

    Browns' Mike Harley: In concussion protocol

    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.

  • Nick Williams WR | DEN

    Nick Williams: Brought back by Denver

    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.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Expected back Saturday

    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.

  • Deon Cain WR | BUF

    Eagles' Deon Cain: Dealing with injury

    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.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Continues to miss practice

    Wilson (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Wilson hurt his ankle during last Thursday's practice, but Antwan Staley of nydailynews.com relays that the wideout is dealing with a low ankle sprain. With that in mind, Wilson profiles as day-to-day and it seems unlikely that he'll take the field in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Browns.

  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Browns' Jakeem Grant: Top returner on depth chart

    Grant is listed as the top punt and kickoff returner on the unofficial depth chart for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets, the Browns' official site reports.

    The 30-year-old Grant is working his way back from a second ruptured Achilles. Another receiver with return experience, Jaelon Darden, is third on the depth chart at each return spot. The Browns may eventually use position regulars Jerome Ford and Donovan Peoples-Jones as return men, but the team will get a look at both Grant and Darden during preseason games. Additionally, with Marquise Goodwin (blood clots) on the active/non-football illness list, both depth wideouts will get work on offense. Grant is listed third at one wideout position behind Elijah Moore and rookie Cedric Tillman.

  • Jaelon Darden WR | SEA

    Browns' Jaelon Darden: In depth WR mix

    Darden is listed as second on the unofficial depth chart at one wideout position behind Amari Cooper for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets, the Browns' official site reports.

    Darden jumped Anthony Schwartz on the depth chart and appears to benefit from Marquise Goodwin (blood clots) landing on the active/non-football illness list. Darden is also listed as the third kickoff and punt returner.

  • Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Competing for roster spot

    Schwartz is listed as third on the unofficial depth chart at one wideout position behind Amari Cooper and Jaelon Darden for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets, the Browns' official site reports.

    Schwartz needs to have a big preseason to secure a roster spot. The third-round pick in 2021 has not come close to achieving the potential Cleveland thought he would provide. After a couple of disappointing, injury- and mistake-marred seasons, Schwartz watched the organization add several pieces during the offseason that put him on the bubble.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Russell Gage: Another step forward Monday

    Gage (lower leg) was able to participate in the first set of 1-on-1 drills between receivers and defensive backs Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    The activity level was a step up from Sunday, when Gage was able to jump into individual position drills for the first time. The veteran also participated in those Monday in addition to the reps he took against cornerbacks, leading head coach Todd Bowles to remark that Gage is "getting back to normal." Brianna Dix of the team's official site also notes the 27-year-old looked effective, using both a double move and inside leverage to record catches. Assuming he continues free of setbacks, it seems likely Gage will be able to achieve full practice participation before the end of the week.

  • Tim Patrick WR | NYJ

    Broncos' Tim Patrick: Reportedly tears Achilles

    An MRI reportedly revealed that Patrick suffered a complete tear of his Achilles on Monday, according to Mike Klis of 9News Denver.

    Assuming Klis' report is confirmed, Patrick would be in line to miss the coming season, a context that represents a major hit to a Denver pass-catching corps that will also be without KJ Hamler (pectoral), who was waived with a non-football illness designation Monday. The duo's looming absence paves the way for 2023 second-rounder Marvin Mims to assume an expanded role alongside the team's top wideouts, Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton.
