The Texans cut Coulter on Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Coulter, a 2020 fifth-round pick, only logged on appearance as a rookie, and it appears that the Texans have already given up on his development. In his sole career appearance, Coulter played just six offensive snaps. Another club may be willing to give the former University of Rhode Island standout an opportunity.

Wims is in a camp battle with Riley Ridley Rodney Adams and Chris Lacy for a roster spot, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

Wims played just 17 snaps in the season opener and was targeted once, resulting in an incomplete pass, and he also was flagged for a false start penalty on a third-down play. During his three years with the Bears, he's had opportunities to be in the starting lineup, but he hasn't posted more than 186 yards and one touchdown in a season. To make the team, he'll likely need to show well on special teams, and if he makes the squad, he's unlikely to be higher than fifth on the team's depth chart at wide receiver.

Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Goodwin (foot) will resume practicing, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Goodwin missed just under a week of practices and Chicago's first preseason game due to foot soreness. Now that he's returned to health and the practice field, Goodwin will resume working to carve out a consistent role behind Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney.

Jennings' strong showing in the preseason opener (three touches for 49 yards) has put him in position to compete for a roster spot, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

While Trent Sherfield stole the show with an 80-yard touchdown reception, it was Jennings who was the first backup to enter the game against the Chiefs on Saturday, also finishing with a position-high 38 offensive snaps. The team clearly wanted to get a look at the 24-year-old, and his success on the field puts him in the mix to compete for a backup job behind what looks to be a settled starting trio of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Mohamed Sanu.

Despite missing part of training camp and the preseason opener due to injury, Perriman (hip) is still expected to handle a starting role opposite Tyrell Williams, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

With Amon-Ra St. Brown the favorite to handle slot duties, there aren't any serious contenders for Perriman's job on the perimeter anyway, especially with Quintez Cephus (head) missing significant time as well. While it's not clear when Perriman will return to the field, he at least dressed for last week's preseason game against the Bills, per Chris Burke of The Athletic.

Moore (quadriceps) won't practice this week but could return as soon as next week, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Moore was removed from practice Thursday and held out of the preseason opener Saturday, but reporters did spot him doing some work in the rehab area during Monday's practice. His progress will need to be monitored over the next few weeks, even after coach Robert Saleh said Monday that he isn't worried about the rookie's availability for the regular-season opener at Carolina on Sept. 12, per Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald.

Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, but he did look comfortable while running on the side, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

The speedy wideout seems to be gearing up for a return to practice, whereas Rashod Bateman (core muscle) is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, and Sammy Watkins left Monday's session early with a potential injury. The Ravens appeared to have better WR depth this year, but durability already was a concern with the group before the recent issues. Brown and TE Mark Andrews remain the favorites to lead the team in targets.

Moore (quadriceps) is working in the rehab area during Monday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Moore was injured during Thursday's practice and missed Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants. Coach Robert Saleh considers the rookie day-to-day, an assessment that's backed up by Moore's ability to do some limited work on the rehab field already. The second-round pick is competing for snaps in a deep WR group occupied by Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole and Denzel Mims.

Taylor caught all five of the passes thrown his way and racked up 50 receiving yards in the Packers' preseason opener against the Texans.

Taylor is competing for a roster spot despite suiting up for 15 games in 2020, and he fared well in his first live action of the exhibition slate, finishing second among Packers pass catchers in both receptions and receiving yards. Taylor has his work cut out for him the rest of the way, but he played frequently on special teams last season, and that will help his cause when the Packers' final cuts are made.

Rodgers was targeted four times and caught three passes for 15 yards in the Packers' preseason opener against the Texans. He also returned one punt for 14 yards.

Rodgers did not do a lot in his first appearance as a pro, but he did get a chance to show what he could do on both offense and special teams. With Randall Cobb back in the fold and three other receivers ahead of him on the depth chart, it seems unlikely Rodgers will play anything more than a situational role on offense early on. However, his spot on the roster is secure, and he is in line to be the Packers' primary punt returner.
