Jeudy worked on the side during Thursday's practice due to a leg issue, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear if the leg is the same issue that forced Jeudy to miss time during June's minicamp. The injury does not appear to be a serious.

Olszewski (foot) is participating in training camp practices this week, North Jersey's Chris Pedota reports.

Olszewski was injured during OTAs earlier this spring but is ready to roll for the start of camp. After being cut by the Steelers in October of last season, Olszewski landed with the G-Men and appeared in 10 games for New York. He returned 23 punts for 273 yards and one touchdown but played just eight snaps on offense.

Durden (knee) is participating in practice at Cowboys camp this week, Nick Harris of the team's official website reports.

Durden suffered a torn ACL last summer and missed all of 2023. Durden went undrafted out of West Florida last year. He's competing for one of the final roster spots on the wideout depth chart.

Smith-Njigba (shoulder) participated in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Njigba made multiple contested catches during practice, including a 50-yard toss from Geno Smith, showing he is past the shoulder injury that forced him from OTAs in June. Dugar projects that Smith-Njigba will take the next step in the offense this season and challenge defenses at every level, something we rarely saw in 2023 when he was mainly used as an underneath target. Still, his exact role is to be determined, as commanding targets away from DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett is a tall task.

Thompkins (hamstring) signed with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The Buccaneers waived Thompkins with an injury settlement in early June, and now that he's past his hamstring issue, the third-year wide receiver has decided to follow his former offensive coordinator, Dave Canales, to Carolina. Thompkins has served primarily as a return man during his time in the NFL, so he'll likely be competing with Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Raheem Blackshear for the the Panthers' top kick and punt returner spots as the offseason progresses.

Watson is expected to miss just a few days of training camp due to a minor foot issue, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Per Derrick, at first glace the left foot injury that Watson sustained Wednesday appeared concerning, but tests have reportedly revealed that the wideout avoided a long-term issue. Once Watson is able to return to practice, he'll look to cement his standing in a Kansas City WR corps that also includes Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy, Kadarius Toney, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore. In 16 regular-season outings in 2023, Watson compiled a 27-460-3 receiving line.

Davis (knee) is participating in practice at Jaguars camp this week, Sports Illustrated's John Shipley reports.

Davis missed OTAs and minicamp after injuring his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Dolphins. He missed both of Buffalo's playoff games and then signed a three-year, $39 million deal with Jacksonville as a free agent. Davis is expected to serve as Trevor Lawrence's top downfield threat after the departures of Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones in free agency. Christian Kirk will man the slot for the Jaguars, and rookie first-rounder Brian Thomas will round out the three-wide set.

The 49ers signed Turner to a one-year deal Thursday.

With Trent Williams holding out, it opened up a roster spot in San Francisco. Turner appeared in three games for the Niners in 2022 but was out of the league last season after spending most of last summer with the Colts. Turner is now 28 years old and has 29 career catches across 44 contests.

Pierce (foot) is participating in practice at training camp this week, 105.7 The Fan's Kevin Bowen reports.

Pierce missed the final day of mandatory minicamp last month, but it was termed precautionary at the time. The third-year wideout is back on the field and was working with the first-team offense alongside Michael Pittman and Josh Downs, notably ahead of rookie Adonai Mitchell. Pierce has also seen reps as a return man with the new kickoff rule going into effect in 2024.

Dulin was spotted working out during Thursday's practice, Jake Arthur of SI.com reports.

The Malone product is continuing to work back from the ACL tear he suffered before the beginning of Indianapolis' 2023 season, but it's a positive sign to see him on the field at all. If the recovery process continues going well for Dulin, he could be a full participant in practices in the near future.
