Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Back at practice
Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Bateman thus appears past the undisclosed minor injury that caused him to miss practice Friday. Now that he's back on the field with his teammates, the 2021 first-rounder is in line to step back in as the Ravens' presumed No. 1 wideout ahead of Week 1 action.

DJ Chark WR | ATL
Lions' DJ Chark: Impressive during team scrimmage
Chark caught four passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's team scrimmage, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Playing against a mix of first- and second-team cornerbacks, Chark reportedly looked like the vertical threat that Detroit lacked last year. While he may lose opportunities to Jameson Williams (knee) by season's end, vertical targets in the Lions' new offense should be concentrated on him in the short term. Considering the 6-foot-4 wideout also has a solid chance of leading his team in red-zone targets, Chark could surprise as a fantasy asset during his $10 million "prove it" year.

Erik Ezukanma WR | PHI
Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Making waves at camp
Ezukanma has impressed coach Mike McDaniel with a strong start to training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
"I've been very encouraged with how (Ezukanma has) handled himself and corrected things," McDaniel said. "The mistakes are changing, they're not the same ones and that's what you want." Ezukanma reportedly has been the most impressive receiver at training camp other than Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Oyefusi even speculates that the rookie fourth-rounder's emergence has put Preston Williams and Lynn Bowden on the roster bubble. If he can keep up this momentum, Ezukanma could make a push to open the season in the No. 4 wideout role.

Robert Foster WR | NYG
Giants' Robert Foster: Full go at practice Monday
Foster (undisclosed) was a full participant during Monday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Foster was injured making a diving catch during Wednesday's practice and needed to be carted off the field. However, the undrafted wideout appears to have avoided a major injury and has already returned to full participation after sporting a non-contact jersey Sunday. Although Foster is probably a longshot to make the roster, he does have history with head coach Brian Daboll, playing for him at Alabama and also spending the 2018 and 2019 campaigns with him in Buffalo.

Scott Miller WR | CHI
Buccaneers' Scotty Miller: Feeling healthy at training camp
Miller, who dealt with a nagging turf toe injury most of 2021, has felt healthy through his first 10 training camp practices and has been given an opportunity to "do a lot of different things" thus far, Andrew Crane of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Miller hasn't yet had much of a chance to run slot and option routes at the NFL level despite thriving in those at Bowling Green, but Buccaneers coaches are apparently giving him a bit more free rein this summer. Miller also has taken some reps as a kickoff returner and apparently is completely healed from the hamstring injury that prevented him from participating in minicamp, leaving him well-positioned for the heated battle with the likes of Breshad Perriman (leg), Cyril Grayson and Tyler Johnson for the last couple of roster spots at wide receiver available behind the top quartet of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (knee), Russell Gage and Julio Jones.

N'Keal Harry TE | SEA
Bears' N'Keal Harry: Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Harry was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain Sunday, but he'll see a specialist to determine the length of his absence, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
As Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported earlier Sunday, Harry's injury from Saturday's practice is severe, but the wideout still is awaiting further evaluation. Harry was traded to Chicago this offseason and was looking to restart his career after poor showings in New England. However, the 2019 first-round pick has suffered another setback and likely will be sidelined for an extended period. Harry's ankle sprain is just one of a recent wave of injuries to the Bears' wideout corps, which now features Equanimeous St. Brown as the top healthy wideout behind Darnell Mooney.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Ankle injury appears to be severe

Malik Taylor WR | DET
Packers' Malik Taylor: Limited during first practice
Taylor (shoulder) practiced Sunday for the first time during training camp, but he was wearing a non-contact jersey, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Taylor had been nursing a shoulder injury, but he appears to be progressing well and could return to full practices soon, though Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette did mention that Sunday was a short jog-through practice, so it's unclear how much work Taylor actually got in. The undrafted receiver out of Ferris State has appeared in 25 games for the Packers over the last two seasons, but he may be on the roster bubble after strong performances from rookie wideouts Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure during training camp.

Kadarius Toney WR | CLE
Giants' Kadarius Toney: Remains limited at training camp
Toney (knee) was held out of 11-on-11 drills during Sunday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Per Leonard, Toney has been held out of full-team drills three times over the Giants' first nine training camp practices. While the issue doesn't appear too serious, it's certainly something to monitor heading into the regular season. Toney had an injury-riddled rookie campaign, but there are high hopes for the 2021 first-round pick in Year 2 under new head coach Brian Daboll.

Robert Foster WR | NYG
Giants' Robert Foster: Wearing non-contact jersey
Foster (undisclosed) returned to practice in a limited fashion Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Foster was injured making a diving catch during Wednesday's practice and needed to be carted off the field. However, the undrafted wideout appears to have avoided a serious injury and is working his way back to full speed. Although Foster is probably a longshot to make the roster, he does have history with head coach Brian Daboll, playing for him at Alabama and also spending the 2018 and 2019 campaigns with him in Buffalo.
