Agholor (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against Washington, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

The Patriots held Agholor out of Sunday's practice due to an unknown injury, and while he got back on the field Monday he barely participated in the team portion of drills. Consequently, the team is being cautious with the offseason addition, likely with his health for Week 1 the primary motivator. After Thursday, Agholor will have two more chances to play in an exhibition before the season opener.

Jeudy was often "unguardable" in Wednesday's joint practice with the Vikings, according to Mike Klis of 9News Denver.

Jeudy is having an impressive training camp as he continuously flashes his superior route-running skills and speed. Wednesday was no different as the Broncos and Vikings held a joint practice ahead of their exhibition contest Saturday. The second-year wideout repeatedly torched the defense, even hauling in what was roughly a 60-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while being guarded by Vikings starting cornerback Baushaud Breeland. Jeudy will look to take a big step forward in Denver's offense during the 2021 campaign. The return of fellow wide receiver Courtland Sutton from a knee injury suffered early in the 2020 season should provide relief for the speedster, as opposing defenses will have their hands full covering both pass catchers simultaneously. With such high expectations for Jeudy, it is reasonable to think that the 22-year-old's production can soar in his sophomore season.

Coach Brandon Staley relayed that Williams is dealing with a hip flexor, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

As a result, Williams, who didn't finish practice Wednesday, will sit out Thursday's session, according to Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. That would make it seem unlikely that the wideout will see action in Saturday's preseason contest against the Rams.

Berrios (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's preseason contest against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Robert Saleh said he expects Berrios back in action for the Jets' exhibition matchup against the Packers on Aug. 22, so it appears the wideout isn't dealing with too serious an injury. Still, Berrios is competing for a depth role in New York's revamped receiving corps, and missing any amount of time before Week 1 could hurt his chances of making the final roster.

Montgomery (undisclosed) is practicing Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Montgomery was carted off the field Wednesday for undisclosed reasons, but he's clearly avoided any sort of serious injury. The versatile veteran has taken most of his reps as a wideout as of late.

Moore will have an MRI on his quad following an early exit from practice Thursday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Coach Robert Saleh didn't actually rule Moore out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants, but the scheduling of an MRI suggests the rookie's injury is serious enough to keep him sidelined for at least a few days. Moore could make it back for the second or third week of the preseason as he makes his case for regular snaps at a crowded position in New York.

Newsome (collarbone) took a short catch for a long gain during Thursday's practice, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The rookie sixth-round pick opened training camp on the PUP list and has been eased into practice, but it looks like he's on track to play this preseason, even if it doesn't happen in Saturday's opener against Miami. Newsome is hoping to win a back-end roster spot and isn't likely to have a significant role on offense early in the year

Bateman will have surgery on his groin and won't be back until some point in September, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

John Harbaugh revealed Wednesday that the rookie would miss multiple weeks, but the Ravens coach didn't mention anything about surgery being a possibility until Thursday morning. The timing makes Bateman seem like a long shot for Week 1, but the Ravens apparently hope to have him back in September, so it's too soon to rule him out of games beyond the preseason. With Marquise Brown (hamstring) and Miles Boykin (hamstring) bothered by less serious injuries, Lamar Jackson is left with newcomer Sammy Watkins as his top wide receiver, flanked by a host of young players that includes 2020 third-round pick Devin Duvernay and 2021 fourth-rounder Tylan Wallace. If/when everyone is healthy, it'll likely be Brown, Watkins and Bateman as the top three.

Robinson (hamstring) will return to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

The wideout was a late scratch from Wednesday's practice, held out at the last second with a minor hamstring injury. Robinson isn't likely to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Dolphins, but he'll apparently take part in the two teams' joint practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity.

Osborn is listed as the No. 3 receiver on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason.

Osborn has drawn rave reviews in training camp, so this isn't a total surprise. He's listed with Chad Beebe as the Nos. 3 and No. 4 receivers, so there may not be much separation between the two. Dede Westbrook (knee) may ultimately win the No. 3 receiver role when he gains full clearance from the torn ACL he sustained in 2020.
