McKenzie suffered a right foot injury and also had a laceration on his knee following Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

McKenzie recorded two receptions on two targets for 15 yards and was also the team's primary punt returner. The latter role is his potential path to a roster spot, as McKenzie tallied 204 punt return yards and 152 kick return yards in 2023. He's on the roster bubble and will now be set for an MRI in the coming days, another factor that could affect his status with the Giants.

Robinson recorded one reception on one target for four yards in Saturday's preseason 10-6 loss to the Jets.

Robinson's stat line doesn't have much meaning, but the fact that he suited up was not a positive sign of his status on the Giants' roster. The team sat its top four receivers -- all of whom are certain to make the roster -- leaving Robinson and Isaiah Hodgins to start the game. However, with special teams contributors such as Miles Boykin and Isaiah McKenzie (knee/foot) also vying for roster spots, Robinson could be on the wrong side of the bubble.

Hodgins recorded one reception on two targets for three yards in Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets.

The Giants rested all four of their top wide receivers, leaving Hodgins and Allen Robinson on the field to begin the game. Tommy DeVito struggled to move the ball through the air, making it difficult to evaluate Hodgins' performance. However, his status on the roster is certainly in question given that he appeared in this game, and the Giants could opt to keep other players at the position ahead of Hodgins given his lack of ability to contribute on special teams.

Toure corralled two of four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Ravens.

Toure got consistent work this preseason in the absence of Green Bay's regular starters, finishing with five receptions for 53 yards and one carry for as many yards. The third-year receiver remains in the mix for one of the Packers' final roster spots as Week 1 approaches.

Heath caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Ravens.

Heath was one of several young wideouts to get promoted to the starting lineup in place of resting starters in Saturday's conclusion to exhibition play. The 24-year-old put a bow on a solid preseason as the team's leading receiver, giving him a legitimate shot to make Green Bay's roster or practice squad ahead of the regular season kicking off.

Melton had one reception on two targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens.

Melton cashed in one of Green Bay's two passing touchdowns in a 30-7 exhibition win. The 25-year-old had one receiving touchdown across five regular-season games played last season. Melton could find himself in a similar role as a reserve wideout this upcoming season, which is to say he shouldn't warrant much fantasy consideration in standard drafts.

Walker (ribs) had one reception for five yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason finale.

Walker returned from a minor rib injury that nagged the rookie wideout this preseason. The fourth-round pick out of North Carolina remains in pole position to nab one of the backup spots behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor come Week 1. Walker will struggle to put up consistent fantasy numbers in that role out of the gates, but he has the size (6-foot-1, 191 pounds) plus a 4.36 40-yard time that are worth noting should playing time open up in the future.

Wallace took his only reception 48 yards for a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers.

Wallace has been vying for one of the Ravens' final receiver/special teams slots this upcoming season. The Oklahoma State product put an exclamation point on his pitch for the job by scoring his team's only touchdown on his only reception in Saturday's exhibition. Wallace and the rest of Baltimore's roster hopefuls will find out their 2024 fates Tuesday.

Fehoko caught both his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Facing the team he made his NFL debut with in 2021, Fehoko got under a deep pass from Easton Stick on the first play of the second quarter, shed his defender and stayed in bounds before sprinting into the end zone. Fehoko is fighting for one of the last spots on an unsettled wide receiver depth chart following the offseason departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee), but even Saturday's big play might not have been enough from him to claim a job on the season-opening roster. The Stanford product may have to settle for a spot on the Chargers' practice squad instead.

Davis had only one touch in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys, taking an end-around 70 yards for a touchdown on the Chargers' first play from scrimmage.

The 2023 fourth-round pick may have done all he needed to do to secure his spot on the 53-man roster with one carry, as Davis took the handoff from Easton Stick, beat a couple Dallas defenders to the corner and took off down the sideline. Davis figures to be the Chargers' primary kick returner this season, but with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee) both now wearing other uniforms, the team's wide receiver corps has a lot of snaps and targets up for grabs. If players like Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark (hip) and Quentin Johnston don't step up, Davis could get some opportunities on offense as the season progresses.
