Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Monday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Brown previously missed the second half of Friday's practice and all of Sunday's session. He's present Monday, but only as an observer as the Eagles prepare for their preseason opener Thursday against Cincinnati.

Samuel (hand) returned to practice Monday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

He hurt his hand/finger Saturday while diving for a catch at practice. The quick return to training camp confirms it's nothing serious, giving Samuel plenty of chances to continue building chemistry with QB Jayden Daniels while No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin remains away from the team. McLaurin has requested a trade, but the Commanders reportedly aren't considering it and prefer to continue extension negotiations instead.

McConkey (undisclosed) took part in a walkthrough Sunday but then worked off to the side for the rest of practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Saturday that McConkey's injury is "extremely minor." The wideout has either been limited in practice or absent for nearly a week now, giving rookie Tre Harris a chance to see more passes from Justin Herbert. Harris and Quentin Johnston are competing for No. 2 WR status behind McConkey.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Saturday that Mumpfield is "one of the guys that has really shined" during training camp.

McVay was similarly pleased in April when the Rams drafted Mumpfield in the seventh round, saying on video that the Pittsburgh product was easily the best wideout left on the board. A key role early in the season is unlikely with Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington competing for the No. 3 job, but Mumpfield at least appears on track for a roster spot. Mumpfield was a four-year starter at Akron and Pittsburgh, finishing each season in the ranges of 44 to 63 receptions and 551 to 813 receiving yards, before his draft stock took a hit at the 2025 Combine when he ran a 4.59 40 at 5-foot-11, 186 pounds.

Wright was waived by the Browns on Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Wright signed with Cleveland on July 25 after not being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he may now be looking for another opportunity elsewhere. The wide receiver will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, it's certainly possible he returns to the Browns as a member of their practice squad.

Callaway was released by the 49ers on Sunday.

Callaway signed a one-year deal with San Francisco on July 31, but he'll now return to free agency. The wide receiver hasn't played in any meaningful action since he played in 14 games with the Saints in 2022, and wherever he ends up, he'll likely be competing for a spot as a special-teams option in 2025.

Chosen and the 49ers agreed on a one-year contract Sunday.

Chosen signed with the 49ers in August of 2024, ultimately being released before the beginning of the regular season. The wide receiver then joined the Dolphins, catching one of four targets for five yards while playing 28 offensive snaps over two contests with the team. Chosen will now get another shot to prove himself with San Francisco ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Raiders waived Philips on Sunday.

Philips caught on with the Raiders in February after spending most of the 2024 season on the Eagles' practice squad, but the 2022 fifth-rounder will explore his next options assuming he clears waivers. Philips last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Titans, when he appeared in nine games and logged 15 catches (on 22 targets) for 181 yards.

Boykin (ankle) was held out of practice Sunday with an ankle injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Boykin was unable to give it a go at practice Sunday, which places some doubt on his chances to play in the team's preseason opener Aug. 10 versus Miami. The wide receiver signed with the Bears in April after spending the majority of the 2024 campaign with the Seahawks' practice squad, failing to appear in a regular-season game for the first time since 2019.

The Raiders signed Baker to a contract Sunday.

Baker was not on an NFL roster for the entire 2024 season after being cut by the Patriots at the end of training camp. He'll get another opportunity with the Raiders, and while a spot on the 53-man roster is unlikely, a strong performance in training camp could lead to him sticking around on the practice squad. The 2021 seventh-rounder last saw regular-season action in his rookie campaign with the Saints, when he played 27 snaps on special teams across two games.
