Campbell (foot) said Wednesday that he feels great and hasn't had any physical limitations during the offseason, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

Campbell underwent foot surgery in the middle of last season and returned to play eight snaps in the Colts' forgettable Week 18 loss to the Jaguars. However, the wideout revealed Wednesday that he played in that contest with a plate and screws in his foot, which were removed two weeks after the season concluded, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic. Campbell has had three consecutive injury-plagued campaigns to start his career, and the Colts added Alec Pierce in the draft, so it's possible the Ohio State product could be facing an uphill battle to make Indianapolis' initial 53-man roster. However, Campbell is only due $1.1 million next season and is finally healthy, so the Colts won't take on much risk by rostering him with the hopes that he makes good on his potential in his fourth NFL season.

McCutcheon was waived by the Rams on Tuesday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Montana State product's time in Los Angeles was short-lived as he was waived less than two weeks after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent May 4. McCutcheon showed big-play potential in his senior collegiate season, averaging just under 20 yards per reception in 2021, and his stature at 6-foot-3 should help him compete for a practice squad spot this offseason.

Higgins (shoulder) is present for Tuesday's practice but is not participating, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

It's reportedly what Higgins expected, and he's no longer using a sling as he rehabs from labrum surgery in March. He'll presumably be absent or limited from offseason practices throughout May or June, but the 23-year-old wideout could make it back on the field at the end of July for the start of training camp. There's been no indication of concern about his availability for the regular season.

Turner was waived by the Raiders on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Turner originally was expected to sign with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent, but he instead decided to go with the Raiders, a union that didn't last long. The Virginia Tech product now will look link up with another NFL team this offseason.

The Saints signed Shaheed as an undrafted free agent Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Shaheed finished his collegiate career at Weber State as the FCS all-time leader in kick-return touchdowns. He'll likely compete with Deonte Harty for kick-return duties in 2022, though Harty is expected to have the advantage after signing a $4 million RFA tender this offseason.

Watkins was waived by the Buccaneers on Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Watkins was cut from Tampa Bay's roster to help get the team under the 90-player limit after he signed a reserve/future contract on Jan. 31. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound wideout out of UAB has yet to make his NFL debut and likely will look for a new team in need of big-bodied receiver to add depth this offseason.

Hardman may be in line for increased touches in 2022, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Taylor projects Hardman as one of the starting wideouts for the Chiefs, which finally could result in him getting a chance to unlock his full potential after a couple of mediocre campaigns the last two years following an impressive rookie season. Despite the team trading Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins this offseason, Hardman still has plenty of competition for targets, with Kansas City having added JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling via free agency and Skyy Moore (hamstring) in the draft.

Hall has signed with the Raiders an undrafted free agent, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

Hall ended his college career at Ball State as the school's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards with 318 and 3,385, respectively. The 5-foot-8 wideout will compete with fellow undrafted rookie receivers Tre Turner, Dillon Stoner and DJ Turner for a spot on the final 53-man roster this offseason.

Houston head coach Lovie Smith said the team is still "in the process" of determining where Metchie (knee) is in his recovery, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

After being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Metchie told the media that he expects to be ready for training camp in July, but Smith wants to make that assessment for himself. The Texans should know more in a couple of weeks, but they do expect him to play during 2022. The uncertainty revolves around how soon he'll be ready.

Burks (undisclosed) returned to rookie minicamp practice Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks saw his reps somewhat limited, but the 2022 first-round pick was still running routes and working with fellow rookie, quarterback Malik Willis. The Arkansas product is expectedly to immediately fill the void left by the departed A.J. Brown, who was traded to the Eagles on draft day.
