Treadwell (hamstring) was unavailable for practice with the Colts on Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Treadwell is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury, and head coach Shane Steichen outlined that the wide receiver is currently without a timetable to return. Treadwell signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis in March, and he's competing with the likes of rookie seventh-round pick Deion Burks and third-year pro Anthony Gould for a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster.

Collins (concussion) reverted to the Giants' injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Collins is set to spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The wide receiver out of Notre Dame played in nine games for the Giants during his rookie season, logging two receptions for 25 yards over 84 offensive snaps.

Rechsteiner (suspension) will miss the first six games of the 2026 regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Rechsteiner will be eligible to participate in all preseason activities, with his suspension beginning once rosters are reduced to 53 players. The league did not disclose what rules the undrafted free agent out of Jacksonville State violated. If Rechsteiner does not make the Saints roster, the suspension will still run its course while he is a free agent.

Detroit waived Keys (leg) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Unless he's scooped up by another team during the current waiver period, Keys is now on track to become a free agent. He's still waiting to make his NFL regular-season debut, but his next opportunity may have to come with a different squad.

Bobo (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's training camp session due to injury, Gregg Bell of thenewstribune.com reports.

Bobo has yet to practice this week. The wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury during last Monday's session. There is no update on the 28-year-old's recovery timeline, but his absence makes way for Emmanuel Henderson and Cody White to prove they're worthy of the active roster.

Smith (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the Panthers with an injury settlement Thursday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official website reports.

Smith reverted to injured reserve with Carolina on Wednesday, and as a result, he was set to miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign. Now that he has reached a settlement with the Panthers, he will be able to pass a physical and play with a new squad this season.

McMillan (knee) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

McMillan has been sidelined all week after suffering a knee injury at some point prior to Monday's practice. The wide receiver has been wearing a compression sleeve on his left leg, and at this point, the team hasn't expressed a significant level of concern about the injury. McMillan will be battling with rookie Ted Hurst and second-year wideout Tez Johnson (groin) for targets behind expected leaders Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka in the wide receiver room this season.

The 49ers waived Dowell on Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dowell signed a reserve/future deal with the 49ers in January, making it through a week of training camp before being waived. The 2023 Titans seventh-round pick was waived so the 49ers could sign offensive lineman Kion Smith in a corresponding move. The injuries to Vederian Lowe (ankle), Carver Willis (concussion) and Nick Zakelj (upper body) likely correlate to the final decision. If Dowell clears waivers, he will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

Nabers (knee) participated in team drills at Thursday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

This news needs to be taken with a grain of salt considering it was more of a walkthrough than a full-fledged practice, but Nabers continues to make progress in the later stages of his rehab from last season's ACL and meniscus tears in his right knee that he suffered Week 4. It remains to be seen if the Giants will clear him for preseason action, but he does seem to be on pace for a return early in the 2026 campaign, perhaps as early as Week 1 against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

Pickens is taking part in Thursday's training camp practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Pickens failed to reach an agreement on a new deal with the Cowboys in the offseason and will play on the one-year, $23.7 million franchise tag in 2026. He and CeeDee Lamb are set to form one of the NFL's most formidable wide receiver duos while catching passes from quarterback Dak Prescott. Pickens is healthy but unlikely to see much action in the preseason, which kicks off for the Cowboys in Seattle on Aug. 15.
