Remigio has been returning punts and kicks while also working with Kansas City's first-team offense during training camp, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The second-year wide receiver out of Fresno State has emerged throughout the summer, receiving increased reps with the first-team offense and impressing the coaching staff. Remigio has also been working as a return man, which enhances his chances of making Kansas City's 53-man roster. As the preseason continues, expect Remigio to compete for a depth role on the Chiefs' offense as well as the position of the team's top return man.

Milne was waived by the Commanders on Wednesday.

Milne missed all of Washington's 2023 campaign due to a groin issue, and the team has now decided to let go of the 25-year-old wideout. The BYU product appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Commanders in 2022, recording 611 total return yards and one receiving touchdown. In a corresponding move, Washington agreed to terms with WR Byron Pringle.

The Commanders released Byrd on Wednesday.

Byrd agreed to terms with the Commanders in May, but the team has now decided to part ways with the 31-year-old wideout. In a corresponding move, Washington signed WR Byron Pringle.

Olave practiced Wednesday after exiting early during Tuesday's session with an apparent hip injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Olave seems to have dealt with more of a bump or bruise than a real injury, given that he was back on the practice field less than 24 hours later. He's locked in as the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Derek Carr and new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Volume shouldn't be an issue, as Olave and running back Alvin Kamara are the only players on the Saints roster that have ever drawn more than 75 targets in an NFL season.

The Dolphins signed Snead on Wednesday.

Snead, a nine-year NFL veteran who's spent the majority of his career with the Ravens and Saints, has found a new home in Miami. He played just 70 total snaps in four regular-season games with the 49ers in 2023, so he'll likely be competing for a depth role in the Dolphins' wide receiver room as the preseason progresses.

Knowles (undisclosed) was spotted on the sidelines of Monday's camp session, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Knowles, an undrafted second-year wide receiver out of Kansas State, had been dealing with an undisclosed injury over the past week. It seems as if he could be nearing a return to the field, and once he does, Knowles is expected to compete for a depth spot in Minnesota's wide receiver corps.

Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's camp session, Vincent Carchietta of The Clayton News-Daily reports.

Ford-Wheaton missed time earlier in the offseason with a shoulder issue, but it now appears that he's moved past the injury. With Ford-Wheaton back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the Giants' wide receiver room.

Palmer has been a regular presence on the first-team offense at training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Palmer, Ladd McConkey and DJ Chark reportedly are dominating the wideout reps on the starting offense, leaving Quentin Johnston and others to work with the backups. Palmer averaged a career-high 58.1 receiving yards per game last season, including 70.6 yards per game from Week 3 onward, but a knee injury and concussion led to seven absences. After some hints of limited participation in the offseason program, Palmer seems to be back at 100 percent for training camp and is regularly catching passes from quarterback Justin Herbert. There's opportunity for the 2021 third-round pick to enjoy a fourth-year breakout, although he's probably looking at reduced team passing volume relative to prior years now that head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman are running the show in Los Angeles.

McConkey, Joshua Palmer and DJ Chark have been the main receivers for the first-team offense during Chargers training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Popper notes that McConkey has "flashed" throughout spring and summer practices and looks particularly good while working from the slot. He isn't necessarily a slot-only prospect given his timed 4.39-second 40-yard dash speed, but it makes sense that McConkey would get more snaps inside if he's mostly on the field at the same time as the 6-foot-3 Chark and the 6-foot-1 Palmer. The ideal scenario for rookie-year fantasy value would feature McConkey taking most of his 11 personnel snaps from the slot while also getting steady playing time in two-wide formations. In any case, it's a good sign that the 34th overall pick has been thrown right in with the first-team offense rather than being forced to work his way up the depth chart.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said Monday that Doubs has "super strong hands" and is "pretty tremendous" at running routes, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

Doubs hype is reaching a crescendo in the second week of training camp, with a slew of Packers beat writers reporting that the wideout has been one of the team's standout performers. Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander poured fuel on the fire Tuesday when he said Doubs is his second-favorite receiver in the league (after former teammate Davante Adams) and acknowledged that the 24-year-old often wins their one-on-one battles in practice, per Paul Bretl of 105.5 ESPN La Crosse. Quarterback Jordan Love has also expressed confidence this summer in Doubs, who had 234 yards in two playoff games this past January after finishing the regular season with 674 receiving yards. The enthusiasm is encouraging, but Doubs will still face stout target and snap competition from fellow young wideouts Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks.
