Fountain will undergo an X-ray after he injured his finger during Saturday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The severity of Fountain's injury might determine whether or not the 26-year-old makes the Chiefs' roster, as he's caught just two passes for 23 yards since he was drafted in 2018. Meanwhile, Justin Watson, Cornell Powell and Corey Coleman's chances of suiting up on game days will increase, as they'll receive more practice reps while Fountain awaits a diagnosis.

Harry appeared to suffer a leg injury during Saturday's practice, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports

It's unclear how severe the injury may be, but head coach Matt Eberflus did seem concerned the issue could test the team's depth at wide receiver. Byron Pringle didn't practice Saturday due to a quad injury that will "keep him out for a bit," according to the head coach, and that comes on top of 2022 third-round pick Velus Jones also not participating in practice for an undisclosed reason. At the moment, Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown are the only two healthy wideouts among the Bears' top five projected pass catchers.

Jennings (concussion) was not spotted during Saturday's practice session, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

After signing with Kansas City in May, Jennings is fighting for a roster spot among receivers Daurice Fountain, Cornell Powell, Corey Coleman and Omar Bayless. The 2019 fourth-round pick hasn't lived up to expectations through his first four seasons, as he's now playing for his seventh NFL team. There's no timetable for a return yet, but Jennings will likely sit out at least one week before taking the field again.

Evans (hamstring) is considered day-to-day and should be able to play soon, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

This is a gigantic sigh of relief for fantasy managers and the Bucs as Evans' hamstring injury could have been far more serious. The big-bodied target has a long history with hamstring issues, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the veteran eased back into training camp. Still, it seems all but certain at this point that Evans' regular-season status shouldn't be impacted by this particular injury.

Bell was activated off the PUP list Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

The 2022 third-round pick missed nine days of training camp as he recovered from what was reportedly a stress fracture in his foot. It's a welcome sight for a Browns receiving corps that is dangerously thin from a depth perspective with Anthony Schwartz (knee), Michael Woods (hamstring), Javon Wims (illness) and Isaiah Weston (torn ACL) all out recently with various injuries. Who ultimately starts the majority of the games for the Browns at quarterback this season will obviously be a major question mark, but Bell should at the very least have an opportunity to compete for a starting role throughout the preseason.

St. Brown has emerged as a top option in the Bears' passing attack, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

St. Brown has an advantage over the other wide receivers in Bears' camp, as he's played in offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's offense during his time in Green Bay. He's been quite effective in the red zone, as his 6-foot-5 frame has provided Justin Fields with a big target. Although St. Brown is currently behind Byron Pringle and rookie Velus Jones on the depth chart, he'll continue to make his push toward earning a regular role in the offense. St. Brown is going undrafted in most fantasy leagues, but if he can move up the depth chart, he may be a consideration as a late-round pick.

Taylor did not participate in the Packers' Family Night practice Friday due to a shoulder injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor has yet to participate in Green Bay's training camp this offseason while dealing with an unspecified shoulder injury. The 26-year-old wideout was tendered as an exclusive rights free agent by the Packers in March, though he'll need to make a return to the field in order to secure a depth role on the team's roster this preseason.

Dorsett was on the field for the first time at training camp Friday,

Dorsett had been hobbled by a foot injury late in 2021 and was not an on-field participant for offseason activities. Houston head coach Lovie Smith said Dorsett is in the mix for one of the top five spots at wideout.

Coach Pete Carroll said Eskridge (hamstring) is drawing closer to a return to practice, but there's a chance the second-year wide receiver may not play during the preseason, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

It's no surprise the Seahawks are being extra cautious with Eskridge after he sat out seven games last year due to a concussion that he suffered Week 1 and then showed up in the injury report Week 15 due to a foot issue. Overall, he was limited to 183 offensive snaps, 20 targets and four carries in 10 appearances. Even if he reaches 100 percent during exhibition season, Eskridge may not suit up until the regular-season opener.

Snead signed a contract with the 49ers on Friday, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports.

Snead recently worked out with the Cardinals and came away without a deal, but a different NFC West team has decided to bring him in. The 29-year-old wide receiver will compete for a depth role in a receiving corps that lacks an established No. 3 option behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
