Grant (hamstring) agreed Tuesday with the Dolphins on a four-year extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Grant was heading into the final year of his rookie contract, but he'll now stick around with Miami through the 2023 campaign. The 26-year-old caught 21 of 34 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games before suffering an Achilles injury in November. He also made an impact in the return game, taking back a kick and a punt for a touchdown. Grant is dealing with a hamstring injury, but he has since returned to practice and could make his preseason debut Thursday versus the Jaguars.

Grayson (knee) was waived/injured by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

Grayson suited up for just two games with the Chiefs as a rookie. He was again looking to earn a roster spot this year until he suffered an injury during an exhibition game. He has been sidelined since, and the Chiefs have opted to let him go. Should he go unclaimed on waivers, he will then revert to Kansas City's injured reserve.

The Chiefs officially placed Kemp (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Kemp suffered a torn ACL and MCL at practice over the weekend, so this move was just a matter of time. The 24-year-old pass catcher suited up for all 16 games in Kansas City last year but was considered a fringe-roster player heading into 2019. He will now be forced to focus on his recovery.

Scott recorded four receptions (five targets) and a team-leading 64 receiving yards in the 19-17 preseason loss to the Saints Sunday.

Both Scott and Andre Patton have been impressive in training camp thus far but neither seems to have separated themselves in a quest for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart. It's quite possible both players have already played their way onto the 53-man roster at the expense of Geremy Davis, but a solid conclusion to the preseason will likely solidify the possibility.

Coach Andy Reid expects Hill (personal) to return to practice Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hill was absent from practice Tuesday for personal reasons, but he'll apparently back with the Chiefs in short order, as the team continues its preparation for Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Allen (ankle) returned to the practice field Tuesday, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

Given Allen's past struggles with injuries, there was plenty of cause for concern when it was initially believed he could miss the remainder of the preseason. Fortunately, his participation should alleviate some of those worries. Even if Allen's held out of the upcoming preseason contests, it would likely be a precautionary measure to ensure his good health for the start of the regular season.

Cooper, who indicated that he is dealing with "a form of plantar fasciitis," hopes to practice by the end of the week, ESPN's Todd Archer reports.

Cooper, who hasn't practiced since Aug. 6, added that the issue has improved over the last few weeks. He's still unlikely to play in any preseason games, however, with an eye toward being ready to go in Week 1. Moreover, based on his previous experience (while at college, and then as an NFL rookie in 2015) of having played through similar foot woes, the wideout doesn't appear overly concerned about his current issue. "I'm not worried about it at all, because I know if it does linger, it doesn't matter," Cooper said. "I had 1,000 yards when I played on plantar fasciitis before."

Goodwin (leg) suited up but did not corral either of his two targets in Monday's preseason win over Denver.

While zero receptions doesn't look great, this was actually a positive game for Goodwin. The 28-year-old not only returned from a lower leg injury that kept him out of action last week, but he was also the starting wideout opposite Dante Pettis. Goodwin's role was put in question with the addition of the 49ers' rookie additions, and while things can obviously change, having him start with the first-unit offense tips head coach Kyle Shanahan's early depth charts after things were mum during training camp.

Hill did not practice Tuesday due to personal reasons, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

It remains to be seen how long Hill will be away from the team, but it's good news for Kansas City that the wideout's absence is not due to injury. Hill played eight offensive snaps during last Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers and caught one of three targets for six yards. Assuming he resumes practicing without missing much time, Hill could be in line for increased work during Saturday's exhibition game against the 49ers.

Boykin (undisclosed) participated in Tuesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Boykin missed practice Sunday and Monday due to an undisclosed injury. The rookie retook the field Tuesday, reportedly making a series of impressive catches including a contested touchdown. Now back to full health, Boykin will resume competing for a key role in Baltimore's receiving corps.
