Concepcion (shoulder) was spotted in pads during the early stages of Tuesday's practice, Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It remains to be seen if Concepcion is deemed a full participant in the practice, but it's a good sign to see the wideout out there a day after he landed hard on his right shoulder. While coach Todd Monken previously noted that the wideout was "still sore" in the wake of Monday's session, Concepcion's presence on the field Tuesday supports the notion that he was able to avoid a concerning injury.

Atwell has separated himself as a top three receiver with the Dolphins this offseason, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Veterans Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington and Atwell appear to have the early leg up on rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman while Chris Bell (knee) remains on the active/NFI list. Jalen Reagor, Tahj Washington and Theo Wease are other contenders in the competition for snaps at receiver in Miami, and this is expected to be a position battle that spans the duration of the season for a rebuilding Dolphins team. It remains to be seen if any of these receivers will be fantasy options in 2026.

When asked about Concepcion's (shoulder) status for Tuesday's practice, coach Todd Monken said "we'll see," Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The report notes that Concepcion, who came down hard on his right shoulder during Monday's session, is "still sore" as of Tuesday, per Monken. On the plus side, the 2026 first-rounder appears to avoided a serious injury, but it looks like his practice participation may be be impacted in the short term.

The Texans placed Turner (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Turner signed with Houston just last week but will now either miss the entire 2026 season or be let go with an injury settlement at a later date. The 29-year-old wideout has 16 career catches across 32 regular-season appearances.

Based on what he's seen through six practices, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com suggests that the Raiders' top three receivers are Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor and Benson.

McFadden previously noted that Nailor and Tucker are the top two wideouts in the room, while Benson is competing with Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech for slotting behind the top duo. There's still time for Thornton and/or Bech to gain momentum in the ongoing competition, but if Benson emerges as the Raiders' No. 3 WR, he could end up on the radar in deeper fantasy formats, in particular if Nailor or Tucker miss time for any reason.

Burden was slow to get up after a hard hit at the end of Tuesday's practice, but he said afterward that he's fine, Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burden walked off the field without help and seems to have avoided any injury, even meeting with the media after practice. He's one of the more popular breakout candidates this summer, with favorable quotes from head coach Ben Johnson pouring fuel on the fire.

Legette (stinger) won't play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, but he should resume practicing next week, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Legette was unlikely to play Thursday even before he suffered a stinger during Tuesday's practice. The Panthers reportedly aren't worried about a long-term absence, so Legette should be back fairly soon to continue competing for the No. 3 receiver job. With rookie Chris Brazzell (knee) out for the year, John Metchie appears to be Legette's primary competition.

Legette was diagnosed with a stinger after leaving Tuesday's practice early, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Legette took a hard fall and was down on the ground for a bit before standing up under his own power and getting on a cart to head to the locker room. He seemingly escaped without a concussion or a major neck injury, though the stinger could impact his practice availability this summer. Legette is competing for the No. 3 receiver job with John Metchie and others.

Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik noted Tuesday that Bell (knee) is still "a long way's away," C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Bell, who is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during his final collegiate season at Louisville, remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to resume practicing, and missed time early on this season is plausible based on Slowik's assessment. Once Bell is back in the mix, however, he'll have a chance to carve out a notable role in a retooled Miami WR corps that currently features Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell, with rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman also competing for slotting.

Flowers is signing a four-year extension with Baltimore for up to $140 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Initial reports put the "guarantee" at $108 million, though some of that may not be guaranteed at signing. Either way, Flowers will land safely in WR1 territory from a contract standpoint, ranking top 10 at the position for both guaranteed money and average annual value. Flowers expressed excitement earlier this offseason when discussing new Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who spent last year in Chicago as a non-playcalling coordinator under Ben Johnson.
