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.

Legette was carted off the practice field Tuesday after suffering an apparent upper body injury, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

The Panthers already lost rookie wideout Chris Brazzell to a season-ending LCL tear, so a prolonged absence for Legette would really thin out competition for the No. 3 receiver role. John Metchie, David Moore and Jimmy Horn would become the favorites for first-team snaps alongside locked-in starters Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.

Lemon missed Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that isn't expected to be a long-term concern, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

With DeVonta Smith also absent due to a seemingly minor hamstring injury, the Eagles have Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as their top healthy wide receivers. Reports from training camp suggest Lemon had been getting plenty of first-team work before the hamstring injury first impacted his availability Monday. After a limited practice to start the week, he seems to be sitting out entirely Tuesday morning.

Fellow Eagles wideout Makai Lemon is also absent because of a hamstring injury. It's obviously not what fantasy managers want to hear, but the team reportedly isn't too concerned at this juncture. Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown should get plenty of first-team reps at training camp this week.
