Jones is listed among the first-team offense on the Cardinals' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Such depth charts need to be taken with a grain of salt, considering they're put together by media relations staff. Nevertheless, it's somewhat notable to see Jones listed ahead of Greg Dortch. Jones managed just eight catches and 240 offensive snaps in 11 games last season, as opposed to Dortch's 37 and 407, respectively, in 17 contests. Dortch operates primarily out of the slot however, so the fact he's listed as the No. 2 in that spot indicates Michael Wilson (concussion) may see a fairly even split between outside and slot reps in 2025. In such a scenario, Jones would line up outside opposite Marvin Harrison (knee/illness).

McConkey (undisclosed) didn't practice Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, McConkey was present for Sunday's walkthrough but then worked off to the side. Given that offensive coordinator Greg Roman told Popper on Saturday that the wideout's injury is "extremely minor," consider the 2024 second-rounder day-to-day as Sunday's preseason contest against the Saints approaches.

Jennings (calf) isn't practicing Monday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Jennings was bothered by a calf injury during the offseason program and then aggravated it in the first week of training camp. He's been absent from practices for more than a week now, freeing up more first-team reps for Ricky Pearsall, Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Watkins. Fellow 49ers wideouts Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) also haven't been practicing.

Lazard is listed as a starter on the unofficial depth chart the Jets released Sunday.

Lazard is penciled in as a starter alongside Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds. With Xavier Gipson (shoulder) and Jamaal Pritchett behind Lazard on the depth chart, it looks like the 29-year-old Lazard is ticketed for slot duties in three-receiver sets if this pecking order holds.

Johnson is listed as a reserve on the unofficial depth chart the Jets released Sunday.

Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard are listed as starters, with Johnson behind Reynolds on the depth chart. Lazard's placement on the depth chart suggests he could be utilized in the slot, with Johnson as a reserve on the outside. Earlier reports from Jets beat writers in training camp suggested that Johnson has been outplaying Lazard.

Neyor was waived by the 49ers on Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Neyor was one of the players let go in a slew of moves by the 49ers, who recently bolstered their depth at wide receiver by signing veterans Robbie Chosen and Andy Isabella. If Neyor passes through waivers unclaimed, the rookie out of Nebraska would be free to sign with any team as a free agent.

Gipson (shoulder) won't practice this week heading into Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Gipson hurt his shoulder Saturday and will miss at least a week of practice as a result, putting his availability for the Jets' first preseason game in doubt. Undrafted rookie Jamaal Pritchett brings a similar skill set to Gipson as a return man on special teams and occasional contributor at wide receiver on offense, so Pritchett could see the biggest uptick in opportunities during Gipson's absence.

Mitchell stood out in the past week after continuing to struggle with drops in the first week of training camp, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Mitchell had the lowest catch rate among wide receivers with at least 45 targets in his rookie season at 41.8 percent (23 catches on 55 targets). The 2024 second-round pick dropped at least four passes in the first week of training camp but turned things around by catching at least three deep passes in the Colts' last four practices. Mitchell's listed as a reserve behind starters Michael Pittman (groin), Josh Downs and Alec Pierce on the Colts' unofficial depth chart ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens.

Jones was waived by the Jaguars on Monday.

Jones signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent out of UNC in April. If the rookie wide receiver passes through waivers unclaimed, he will be free to sign with any team.

Palmer (groin) was present for practice Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Palmer didn't practice Sunday, but the fact that he suited up for Monday's session and was able to take part in individual drills, per Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News, suggests that his groin injury isn't anything major. It remains to be seen, however, if the wideout will see any action in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
