Burks was seen with a wrap on his left leg during the fourth quarter of Sunday's preseason win against the Buccaneers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks made an early exit from Wednesday's practice with an unknown injury before participating in a limited capacity at Thursday's session. He proceeded to play a second consecutive exhibition Saturday, logging offensive snaps into the fourth quarter. Overall, the rookie first-round pick finished with a four-yard catch on three targets, one of which was picked off, and also committed an offensive holding penalty, which marked his last reference in the play-by-play logs. The nature of the wide receiver's health concern isn't known, but after dealing with conditioning issues during the offseason program, there continues to be questions about whether he can get and stay on the field consistently.

The Rams waived Koski (shoulder) with an injury designation Saturday.

Koski will revert to Los Angeles' injured reserve list unless another team claims him during the current waiver period. He suffered a shoulder injury during a team scrimmage Tuesday, which is presumably the reason for the move. His absence might shorten the odds that Brandon Powell or Jacob Harris eventually makes the Rams' initial 53-man roster.

Dotson caught both of his targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Chiefs.

Dotson was the recipient of Carson Wentz's first pass of the game, while his second catch came on a Taylor Heinicke pass late in the first half. The rookie first-round pick reportedly has been turning heads in camp, so Dotson seems primed for a prominent role out of the gate as a secondary option for Wentz behind Terry McLaurin.

Moore didn't catch his only target in Saturday's 24-14 preseason win over Washington and added a one-yard punt return.

Patrick Mahomes looked for Moore deep twice over the team's first two drives. Neither pass connected, though one of the plays was nullified by an offensive holding penalty. Moore's usage alongside the Chiefs' star quarterback is a promising sign regarding the rookie second-round pick's role, even if his chemistry with Mahomes still is developing at this point.

Hill was held out of Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas as a precaution, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Hill's went through pregame workouts and wasn't listed among the players not expected to play, but when he came back out to the field at game time he didn't have pads on under his uniform. With Jaylen Waddle (leg) also out, Miami started Cedrick Wilson and Trent Sherfield at wide receiver, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald.

Adams and other Raiders starters aren't in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against Miami, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Adams and QB Derek Carr aren't dressed, nor are a number of other key players, reportedly. If the former Fresno State teammates do see any action this preseason, it'll have to be in the team's fourth and final game (the Raiders were in the Hall of Fame Game this year and have held out key starters every week so far).

Austin (foot) isn't in uniform for Saturday's exhibition with Jacksonville, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

The rookie fourth-round pick missed Pittsburgh's preseason opener with a foot injury. He was spotted with a walking boot thereafter and hasn't yet returned to practice.

Evans (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Evans and Russell Gage (leg) suffered injuries in training camp, while Chris Godwin is in the late stages of an ACL rehab and Julio Jones is being rested. It's a nice opportunity for Tampa's depth receivers, though none will get much playing time during the regular season if the top four guys can manage to stay relatively healthy.

Gage (leg) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Gage, Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (ACL) and Julio Jones (rest) all will be held out, leaving plenty of snaps for Tyler Johnson and Scotty Miller, among others. Gage has been out of practice for more than a week now, as has Evans.

Aiyuk isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The same goes for TE George Kittle and fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel, the two other candidates to lead San Francisco in targets this year. It may be a matter of usage rather than skill, given that Samuel has value as a rusher and Kittle as a blocker. Aiyuk is the least proven of the trio, but also the one whose role is most heavily centered on catching passes.
