  • Keke Coutee WR | MIA

    Texans' Keke Coutee: Dealing with stress fracture

    Coutee has a minor stress fracture in his foot, but the Texans expect the injury to resolve itself with rest, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    This explains the slot receiver's recent absences from practice, which coach Bill O'Brien had originally downplayed. It sounds like the Texans are optimistic about Coutee being ready for Week 1, though it isn't clear he'll have a significant role in the offense. Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and Kenny Stills figure to account for the vast majority of WR snaps.

  • Jets' Breshad Perriman: Misses practice

    Perriman (knee) isn't practicing Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Perriman was initially held out Sunday and was seen riding a stationary bike while his teammates practiced. He and Denzel Mims (hamstring) both are out for at least one more day, leaving the Jets extremely thin at wide receiver beyond slot man Jamison Crowder. Assuming his injury is minor, Perriman is well positioned for a steady dose of targets early in the season.

  • Buccaneers' Spencer Schnell: Back in Tampa Bay

    Schnell inked a contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Schnell was let go by the team earlier this offseason, but the Buccaneers elected to give him another shot at making the roster. The 25-year-old only saw action in one game for the team last season, recording three yards on a punt return and one offensive snap.

  • Cody White WR | LV

    Broncos' Cody White: Headed to Denver

    White signed with the Broncos on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    White was let go by the Giants last week but didn't have to wait long to find a new team. In his final collegiate season with Michigan State in 2019, White racked up 66 catches for 922 yards and six touchdowns. He'll likely have to battle for one of the final spots on the roster or a practice squad role for 2020.

  • Isaiah Coulter WR | BUF

    Texans' Isaiah Coulter: Misses Monday's practice

    Coulter was sidelined during Monday's practice due to a strained neck, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    According to Wilson, the injury happened earlier in camp, and Coulter has been dealing with it for a few days now. This isn't positive news for the 2020 fifth-round pick, especially with no preseason reps available leading into the season. Coulter displayed versatility both inside and outside for Rhode Island during his college career, and he racked up 1,039 receiving yards on 72 catches and eight touchdowns over 12 games last season. Once healthy, he'll continue to battle for one of the final roster spots at receiver.

  • Falcons' Laquon Treadwell: Bad case of the drops

    Treadwell has struggled with drops thus far in training camp, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Dropped passes may be more forgivable errors to coaches than fumbles at least, but this update certainly does not bode well for Treadwell's bid to unseat Gage for the No. 3 receiver role. This trend is unfortunately not a new one for Treadwell, as he owns an astronomical drop rate of 10.1 percent over the past two seasons. It seems that Gage's status as the No. 3 option only grows more secure with this in mind, while Olamide Zaccheaus and Jalen McCleskey each have an opportunity to move up should Treadwell's struggles persist.

  • Seahawks' Phillip Dorsett: Tending to sore foot

    Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Dorsett won't practice Monday due to a sore foot, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Carroll suggested that Dorsett picked up the injury in Saturday's scrimmage, though it doesn't sound like a major concern for the wideout. After signing a one-year deal with Seattle this offseason, Dorsett is vying for a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Strong practice Monday

    Monday was "easily Harry's best practice of camp," Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.

    After a rookie season slowed by injuries, it was a bit concerning that Harry recently missed a few practices with an undisclosed issue, but he returned to the field Sunday and then put his stamp on Monday's practice. The Patriots list the 22-year-old at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, though the Arizona State product has indicated that he focused on getting a little less bulky this offseason. In any case, Harry has the size and ability to go up and snatch contested throws, which could result in him doing some red-zone damage this season in the expanded role he's expected to have in New England's offense.

  • Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Having good camp

    Olszewski has had a strong training camp, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    With that in mind, Kyed indicates that to date, "Olszewski has looked like the second best WR in camp behind Julian Edelman." A strong camp and the fact that he can be a factor as a returner help Olszewski's chances of making the Patriots' regular-season roster, but he's clearly behind Edelman, N'Keal Harry and Mohamed Sanu in the team's wide receiver pecking order. The 6-foot, 190-pounder also has the likes of Damiere Byrd and Jakobi Meyers to contend with for depth slotting.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Absent again

    Johnson (undisclosed) missed another practice Monday, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Johnson has been held out of practice since Wednesday without any update on the nature of his injury. He had sports hernia surgery at some point in January or February, but reports suggested he'd made a full recovery by the end of June. It isn't clear if the current issue is related.
