Gallup (knee) was spotted running and cutting on the side at Monday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Due to his status on the active/PUP list, Gallup hasn't been cleared to take part in practice, instead focusing on agility drills as he draws closer to returning from the torn ACL he sustained in his left knee Week 17 of last season. He told Jon Machota of The Athletic in late July that he isn't optimistic he'll be healthy by Week 1 this year, noting, "We got a little ways to go. It's gotta get a little bit stronger." With no clarity yet on Gallup's timetable to return and James Washington sidelined 6-to-10 weeks due to a broken foot suffered last Monday, rookie Jalen Tolbert and Noah Brown will operate as the next wide receivers up behind unquestioned No. 1 CeeDee Lamb.

Claypool (shoulder) returned to practice in full pads Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Claypool picked up the shoulder issue on Friday, July 29. He appeared prepared to get back on the field last Friday, but the session termed "Friday Night Lights" at Latrobe's Memorial Stadium ended up getting rained out, per Mike Prisuta of the Steelers' official site. It's unclear if Claypool was able to handle every rep Monday, but he's at least on a path to be ready for the team's preseason opener Saturday against the Seahawks, if coach Mike Tomlin makes his top skill-position players available for the contest.

Campbell was held out of practice Monday with a tight hamstring but said he'll be back on the field Wednesday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

It sounds minor, though still worth making note of given Campbell's lengthy medical record. The 2019 second-round pick has played 15 games through three seasons, never once staying healthy for more than four consecutive contests. Campbell has a big opportunity this year, nonetheless, with he and rookie Alec Pierce reportedly getting most of the first-team WR snaps alongside No. 1 Michael Pittman. If it's those three at the top of the depth chart come Week 1, the 25-year-old Campbell likely will see a lot of work in the slot, though snaps in two-wide sets wouldn't be out of the question. First, though, he'll need to get his hamstring right.

Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Bateman thus appears past the undisclosed minor injury that caused him to miss practice Friday. Now that he's back on the field with his teammates, the 2021 first-rounder is in line to step back in as the Ravens' presumed No. 1 wideout ahead of Week 1 action.

Chark caught four passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's team scrimmage, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Playing against a mix of first- and second-team cornerbacks, Chark reportedly looked like the vertical threat that Detroit lacked last year. While he may lose opportunities to Jameson Williams (knee) by season's end, vertical targets in the Lions' new offense should be concentrated on him in the short term. Considering the 6-foot-4 wideout also has a solid chance of leading his team in red-zone targets, Chark could surprise as a fantasy asset during his $10 million "prove it" year.

Ezukanma has impressed coach Mike McDaniel with a strong start to training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

"I've been very encouraged with how (Ezukanma has) handled himself and corrected things," McDaniel said. "The mistakes are changing, they're not the same ones and that's what you want." Ezukanma reportedly has been the most impressive receiver at training camp other than Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Oyefusi even speculates that the rookie fourth-rounder's emergence has put Preston Williams and Lynn Bowden on the roster bubble. If he can keep up this momentum, Ezukanma could make a push to open the season in the No. 4 wideout role.

Foster (undisclosed) was a full participant during Monday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Foster was injured making a diving catch during Wednesday's practice and needed to be carted off the field. However, the undrafted wideout appears to have avoided a major injury and has already returned to full participation after sporting a non-contact jersey Sunday. Although Foster is probably a longshot to make the roster, he does have history with head coach Brian Daboll, playing for him at Alabama and also spending the 2018 and 2019 campaigns with him in Buffalo.

Miller, who dealt with a nagging turf toe injury most of 2021, has felt healthy through his first 10 training camp practices and has been given an opportunity to "do a lot of different things" thus far, Andrew Crane of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Miller hasn't yet had much of a chance to run slot and option routes at the NFL level despite thriving in those at Bowling Green, but Buccaneers coaches are apparently giving him a bit more free rein this summer. Miller also has taken some reps as a kickoff returner and apparently is completely healed from the hamstring injury that prevented him from participating in minicamp, leaving him well-positioned for the heated battle with the likes of Breshad Perriman (leg), Cyril Grayson and Tyler Johnson for the last couple of roster spots at wide receiver available behind the top quartet of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (knee), Russell Gage and Julio Jones.

Harry was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain Sunday, but he'll see a specialist to determine the length of his absence, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

As Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported earlier Sunday, Harry's injury from Saturday's practice is severe, but the wideout still is awaiting further evaluation. Harry was traded to Chicago this offseason and was looking to restart his career after poor showings in New England. However, the 2019 first-round pick has suffered another setback and likely will be sidelined for an extended period. Harry's ankle sprain is just one of a recent wave of injuries to the Bears' wideout corps, which now features Equanimeous St. Brown as the top healthy wideout behind Darnell Mooney.
