Harry didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

While nothing has been reported, back-to-back absences hint at some type of injury. The 2019 first-round pick is hoping to lock down a top-three receiver role in New England, where Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu are the veterans of a young group. Harry's competition includes Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers, Devin Ross and Gunner Olszewski -- not exactly the most fearsome bunch. Even so, Harry's 2020 outlook will take a hit if he's absent from practice for a prolonged stretch.

Montgomery was the standout on Day 3 of training camp, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Montgomery was signed in the offseason to provide depth at running back, but his versatility as a receiver gives his game an added layer that likely appeals to the Saints' coaching staff. His best season came in 2016 with Green Bay when he totaled 805 total yards and three scores while nabbing 44 passes. He's unlikely to see much work as a running back behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray, but it's possible he sees some work in the passing game given his skill set.

Reagor claims he is gelling well with Carson Wentz, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Reagor, the Eagles' first-round pick in 2020, entered training camp with a starting job on paper, so news that he is adjusting well to his new quarterback and the demands of the pro game certainly lends credence to the idea that he will hold on to the role as the season approaches. That the 21-year-old has done so without OTAs or preseason games is even more impressive.

Coutee has impressed Texans head coach Bill O'Brien during training camp with his maturity, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

O'Brien said Coutee is "on the right track" as he prepares for his third NFL season. The coach cited the presence of Randall Cobb as a role model for Coutee, who has experienced injuries and mistakes during his NFL career. "Some guys it takes a little longer," O'Brien said during a Zoom video call. "I think the big thing for Keke is health. He's a very confident player, a very good player. I think Randall Cobb has helped him, just watching how Randall Cobb operates, I think that's really helped him." Coutee faces a crowded position group and will not have preseason games to force a move up the depth chart. If the group stays as deep as it is now, he may need to win a job as punt returner to keep his job as a wide receiver.

Washington was seen practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Brian Batko.

The past few weeks have been difficult for Washington, who is dealing with an undisclosed injury less than two weeks after being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Steelers have a plethora of wide receiver talent on their roster so it is not surprising that the team would proceed cautiously with Washington.

Davis has put his offseason surgery behind him and is ready to earn his second contract, Cory Curtis of WKRN.com reports.

Davis was in the spotlight this offseason when his fifth-year option was declined by the Titans. However, he's ready to move forward, as he's proven to be healthy since offseason toe surgery. Barring any setbacks, Davis should be ready for regular season action, but will likely work behind second-year receiver A.J. Brown for targets.

Davis (leg) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Davis missed Tuesday's practice with a leg contusion, but as evidenced by this news, the issue wasn't considered serious. With no preseason games, it will be critical for the 2020 fourth-round pick to continue to perform well in practice now that he's officially healthy to nab a roster spot in 2020.

The Chiefs re-signed Kemp on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Kemp is fully healthy after having missed all of 2019 due to a torn ACL and MCL, so he'll be ready to compete for a special-teams role with his former team. The 25-year-old suited up for all 16 games with the Chiefs in 2018, during which span he was targeted twice.

The Lions re-signed Lacy on Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Detroit waived Lacy earlier this month, but the team has since found room for him on the roster again. The 24-year-old appeared in seven games with the team in 2019, logging three catches for 60 yards.

Arcega-Whiteside (lower body) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice, Daniel Gallen of Penn Live reports.

Arcega-Whiteside had been classified as day-to-day with the lower-body issue, but rejoined the team to get valuable practice reps. The Stanford product appears locked into a battle for playing time with Greg Ward and recent draft pick Jalen Reagor heading into the season. Arcega-Whiteside disappointed in his rookie campaign, catching 10 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown across 16 games.
