Jeudy (hamstring) participated in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Jeudy dealt with a hamstring issue during the spring, but he was out there as a full participant on the first day of training camp. The 27-year-old is coming off a disappointing 2025 campaign that saw him catch just 50 of 106 targets for 602 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games after he went for a 90-1,229-4 receiving line in the 2024 regular season. Facing stiffer competition for targets in the form of rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston while also dealing with quarterback issues, Jeudy is a wild-card fantasy bet headed into this season.

Legette has better odds of winning Carolina's No. 3 receiver job after rookie Chris Brazzell suffered an LCL tear, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brazzell, a third-round pick, is expected to miss the rest of the summer and at least the first few weeks of the regular season. Legette is left to compete with David Moore, John Metchie, Jimmy Horn and others for spots Nos. 3 to 6 on the depth chart. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are locked in as the top duo, looking like runaway favorites to rank first and second on the team in targets, though early camp hype suggests RB Jonathon Brooks might emerge as a third useful pass catcher.

The Texans signed Turner on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The 29-year-old wideout spent the previous four seasons with Las Vegas and caught 16 of 30 targets for 158 yards and one touchdown across 32 regular-season appearances during that span. He'll compete for one of the final spots at wide receiver in Houston.

Allen took first-team reps Wednesday and was praised by coach Andy Reid after practice, Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reports. "Yeah, so Cyrus (Allen) had a good day today," Reid said. "And I think Pat's (Mahomes) got some trust there."

At the first practice of training camp, Allen took some snaps with the starting offense alongside Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton and Jalen Royals. Top wideout Rashee Rice (knee) was on the field for the beginning of practice, but he left before 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s, freeing up more first-team work for Allen and Royals. It sounds like Allen made the most of his opportunity, while Royals reportedly struggled with drops. It's only one practice, but Allen, a rookie fifth-round pick, is at least putting himself in excellent position for a roster spot. He may also generate interest as a deep fantasy sleeper given Kansas City's shaky WR room and excellent QB play.

Brazzell (knee) suffered an LCL tear in his left knee at practice Wednesday that could sideline him up to eight weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brazzell went down while participating in 7-on-7 drills Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports, during his first practice since knee soreness caused him to log a two-day absence. Per Person, his LCL injury is unrelated to that earlier soreness. While Brazzell will likely be able to retake the field during his rookie season, an injury forcing him to miss presumably the rest of training camp, and potentially also regular-season time, is a notable blow. The rookie third-round pick had been putting together impressive momentum and had seemingly been positioning himself to challenge Xavier Legette for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Carolina.

Pearsall (knee) is dealing with knee swelling in the early stages of training camp, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall's swelling is in the same knee that caused him to deal with injuries during the 2025 season, Tafur reports, making this a situation worth monitoring. A healthy training camp would position Pearsall as a clear starter for the 49ers alongside new top wideout Mike Evans, but Pearsall has had issues staying on the field consistently to begin his NFL career. Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, there is some concern regarding the wideout's injury, with "all options" reportedly being explored by the team at this time.

Giants GM Joe Schoen said Wednesday that Nabers (ACL) will participate in individual drills during the early stages of training camp, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nabers is cutting, running routes and taking part in individual drills as a result of not being placed on the active/PUP list to begin training camp. Schoen said New York's medical staff "has a really good plan" for Nabers' rehab trajectory, per Matt Citak of the Giants' official site, but while Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the team continues to prioritize the star wideout's availability for Week 1, it's not a sure thing that he will be ready for the start of the regular season. Nabers is recovering from surgery undergone late last October to address ACL and meniscus tears in his right knee, and he underwent a subsequent clean-up procedure in the spring.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Brazzell (knee) has aggravated the same knee injury that caused him to miss the team's last two practices, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Brazzell had to be helped off the field and carted to the locker room upon after retaking the practice field Wednesday, so it's encouraging that his initial injury prognosis isn't more severe. The rookie third-round pick will work to get back to full health before returning to practice at a later date in training camp. However, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports that Brazzell will undergo further evaluations on his left knee.

Olave didn't participate in team drills Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Olave was limited to individual drills during the first day of training camp, but his lack of participation in team drills is business-related rather than linked to an injury concern. On that topic, Olave -- who is approaching the final year of his rookie deal -- is hoping to secure an extension with the Saints ahead of the coming season.

Brazzell suffered an apparent left leg injury during Wednesday's practice and is being helped off the field by teammates, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brazzell missed a few days of practice due to knee soreness that manifested Sunday, and upon returning to action Wednesday he's now suffered what seems to be a left leg injury. The rookie third-round pick reportedly is unable to put any weight on his left leg and will be carted to the locker room. The Panthers will work to diagnose the severity of Brazzell's current injury before providing an update.
