The Jaguars waived Imatorbhebhe (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

Imatorbhebhe was limited during the early portion of training camp due to an undisclosed injury, and the Jaguars are now willing to move on. The UDFA out of Illinois will revert to Jacksonville's injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Jaguars waived Jones (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

Jones will revert to Jacksonville's injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The nature of his injury remains undisclosed.

Toney (undisclosed) could see his workload increase in practice Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Vacchiano also notes that coach Joe Judge declined to give any other update on Toney's injury or status. Regardless of exactly what issues have been slowing down the 2021 first-rounder, the time that he's missed this summer hasn't helped the Florida product's chances of making an immediate fantasy splash, with Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton also in the mix at wide receiver for the Giants.

Parker (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, but Dolphins coach Brian Flores said all the team's injured wide receivers are "getting closer" to returns, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

Flores was also referring to Will Fuller (foot) and Albert Wilson (undisclosed), plus the Dolphins still have Preston Williams (foot) on PUP and Allen Hurns (wrist) headed for IR. Parker started camp on the PUP list with an unspecified soft-tissue injury, before returning Aug. 2 and ramping up his workload over the following week. He's now missed a few more practices, with no update on whether it's the same injury as before. The Dolphins haven't given any indication it's serious, but Parker does have a noteworthy history of hamstring issues to consider.

Coach Mike Zimmer noted that Jefferson (shoulder) is not likely to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Playing it safe with the talented second-year wideout is a sound approach, so it doesn't look like Jefferson will see any exhibition snaps before Aug. 27 against Kansas City. That said, Zimmer indicated Jefferson, who suffered a shoulder injury in practice Aug. 6, is doing "good," which bodes well for the 2020 first-rounder's chances of being at or close to full strength for Week 1 action.

Hopkins (undisclosed) isn't practicing Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Hopkins missed practice last Wednesday and now has missed three consecutive sessions since Friday's preseason win over the Cowboys. Nagging injuries have been part of the package for a few years now, but we'll start to take notice if he still isn't back at practice by next week. An appearance in Friday's preseason game against Kansas City seems unlikely.

Chark (finger) was on the field with pads at Monday's practice but didn't catch any passes, James Johnson of Jags Wire reports.

The wideout had surgery in early August to repair a hairline fracture of his finger, with coach Urban Meyer saying afterward that Chark should be ready for the regular-season opener. He'll miss the entire preseason and may be limited in practice for a few more weeks, but his presence on the practice field confirms Chark is on track to suit up against the Texans on Sept. 12, likely working as Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver.

Robinson (hamstring) is practicing Tuesday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Robinson missed a practice last Wednesday and was then limited Thursday, but he otherwise seems to have enjoyed a healthy offseason and training camp. He could play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, though it likely would be a brief appearance. Robinson is set to play out 2021 under a franchise tag, coming off back-to-back seasons topping 150 targets and 1,100 receiving yards.

Jackson (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Jackson watched Monday's practice from the sideline with a brace on his left knee. The second-year pro has put together a strong summer thus far, but the severity of his current injury will need to be monitored.

Smith (knee) will get some reps in team drills Tuesday, and Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said the rookie could play in a game this preseason, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Smith returned for a limited practice Monday after missing two and a half weeks with an MCL sprain. He'd have a better chance to play if the Eagles were facing the Patriots over the weekend instead of this Thursday, but Smith should at least have time to prepare for the preseason finale against the Jets on Aug. 27. Even if the Eagles do keep him out of the two exhibitions, reports from early training camp suggest Smith will be a Week 1 starter, as he was consistently working with the first unit prior to spraining his knee.
