Kirk sustained a calf injury during Sunday's practice and is not practicing Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kirk walked off the field with trainers Sunday. Soft-tissue injuries are common during training camp, as players are ramping up to full speed and in pads after a long offseason. The severity of Kirk's calf strain isn't known, but consider him day-to-day. Kirk signed with the Niners in March and is expected to operate as the primary slot receiver alongside Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall this season.

Hollins said Monday he'd be willing to play some tight end this season, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com reports.

The Patriots signed Julian Hill earlier in the offseason as experienced depth behind Hunter Henry, but Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury during the spring. New England used a third-round pick on Eli Raridon, but it remains to be seen if he'll develop enough to contribute right away. Hollins is 6-foot-4 and 221 pounds and known as one of the most willing blocking wideouts in the league, so it wouldn't be foreign for Hollins to play closer to the line of scrimmage to get his hands on opposing edge defenders and linebackers.

Harrison (undisclosed) did not finish Arizona's training camp practice on Sunday due to an unknown issue, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison reportedly displayed positive chemistry with quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew on Sunday, hauling in a touchdown from the latter during team reps, but the third-year wideout wasn't able to finish the session. It remains to be seen whether Harrison is dealing with an undisclosed injury, or something as minor as conditioning. Arizona will not practice Monday, but Harrison's status will be worth monitoring when the team hosts its first padded session Tuesday.

Williams ran almost exclusively with the second- and third-team offenses at Monday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Callahan noted it appeared Williams was behind all of A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism on the wideout depth chart Monday. Williams was a third-round pick last year, but New England has since added Brown and Doubs to the mix, leaving Williams in a fight for playing time. Williams' spot on the roster hasn't been brought into question at this point, but if he's this buried a month from now, it's fair to wonder if the Patriots would be willing to listen to offers for the 23-year-old after he produced just 10 catches for 209 yards and three touchdowns on 21 targets across 17 regular-season appearances as a rookie.

Horton (shin/groin) was back on the field for Seattle's first training-camp practice Sunday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

Horton's return is a notable step after he was held out of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills during offseason team activities. Though his promising rookie year was cut short, he flashed touchdown upside on limited volume with five receiving scores and a punt-return touchdown across just eight regular-season games. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed still give Seattle a crowded receiver room, but Horton now has a full camp to push for a rotational role and maintain deep-league relevance.

Kirk walked off with an apparent injury during the 49ers' practice Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Kirk was seen leaving with a team trainer midway through a practice session, though the nature of the issue is still unclear. The 29-year-old joined San Francisco on a one-year, $6 million deal in March after spending last season in Houston, where he logged 28 catches (on 52 targets) for 239 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games. Kirk will likely open the 2026 campaign as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver behind Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall, so it will be worth monitoring his status in the team's upcoming training-camp practices.

Kibble (undisclosed) reverted to New England's injured reserve Friday.

Kibble is set to remain with the Patriots despite having previously been waived. The rookie undrafted free agent will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

The Patriots placed Webb (arm) on injured reserve Sunday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Webb's move to injured reserve comes after the 25-year-old sustained an arm injury during Saturday's practice. He now will be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

Chisena (undisclosed) didn't participate in Carolina's practice Sunday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Chisena is competing for a depth receiver spot after having signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers in January. The 28-year-old was seen on the sideline during Sunday's session, although the severity and nature of his injury is currently unknown.

Webb suffered an arm injury during New England's practice Saturday, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Webb walked off the field with trainers late in the practice session, and the severity of his injury is currently unknown. The 25-year-old spent last season on the team's practice squad and will be competing for a depth receiver role once healthy.
