Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Ready to rock
The Jaguars activated Agnew (undisclosed) from the non-football injury list Monday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Agnew began training camp on the NFI list, but now that he's passed his physical, he'll be eligible to take the field with teammates. The Jaguars are counting on Agnew to make plays in the return game, just as he did in Detroit over the last four years.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Jets' Elijah Moore: Building momentum in camp
Moore has been making impressive plays in every practice so far, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.
Moore is mixing in with the first team and quarterback Zach Wilson at times, though he doesn't have a designated starting position as of yet. The rookie second-round pick has been getting glowing reports from both inside and outside the organization ever since he arrived at One Jets Drive. Coach Robert Saleh described Moore as "ahead of the game," per Vacchiano. If he can translate his strong play in camp into in-game production during the preseason in August, Moore should carve out a prominent role once the games start to count come September.

Kadarius Toney WR | CLE
Giants' Kadarius Toney: Being eased back in
Coach Joe Judge noted Monday that Toney will be limited as the Giants take things "day by day" with their 2021 first-rounder, who was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list this past Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Though the rookie wideout has been cleared to take the field, the team will ease Toney back into the mix after the time he missed. Once he's up to speed, the Florida product will look to carve out a role in a Giants receiving corps that also includes Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard.

DeVonta Smith WR | PHI
Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Out 2-3 weeks with MCL sprain
Smith (knee) is expected to miss two or three weeks of practice while he recovers from an MCL sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
While MCL injuries typically come with longer recovery timelines, it sounds like Smith escaped with a minor sprain, as he walked off the field without much trouble and observed the remainder of Saturday's practice after hurting his knee. The Heisman winner hasn't practiced since and now figures to miss at least half of training camp, but it sounds like he still could play in the preseason. Smith opened camp working with the starters, so the Eagles don't seem inclined to waste time with formalities or make their prized rookie jump through hoops.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Banged up a little
Bateman is dealing with "muscle toughness" and was held out of Monday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
It sounds like less of a concern than Marquise Brown's hamstring injury, with the rookie likely to make it back on the practice field before the veteran. In the meantime, Baltimore has Sammy Watkins, Miles Boykin and Devin Duvernay at wide receiver, though only Watkins appears locked in for a top-three role Week 1. Bateman is hoping to win one of those other spots, perhaps competing with Duvernay for slot work even.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Out again with hamstring injury
Coach John Harbaugh revealed Monday that Brown's hamstring injury is worse than the Ravens originally thought, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Brown now has missed three straight practice since exiting Thursday's session early. Fellow Ravens wideout Rashod Bateman reportedly is dealing with a minor muscular issue, while oft-injured veteran Sammy Watkins actually has managed to stay healthy so far. If Brown and Bateman continue to miss time, it could open up first-team reps for Devin Duvernay, Miles Boykin and Tylan Wallace, among others.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Activated from PUP
The Dolphins removed Parker (undisclosed) from the PUP list Monday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Reports suggest Parker is bothered by a minor soft-tissue injury, with his history of hamstring issues perhaps encouraging the Dolphins to be cautious. His ability to avoid those nagging injuries remains uncertain, but Parker at least should have plenty of time to prepare for Week 1, now battling for targets with the likes of Will Fuller (suspension) and Jaylen Waddle.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Shining through first week of camp
Collins has been the best rookie at Texans training camp, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.
Reiss adds that the rookie third-round pick has a shot to finish top three on the Texans in targets this season. It's a realistic assessment, given the lack of veteran receiving talent in Houston behind top option Brandin Cooks. With Will Fuller, Kenny Stills and now Randall Cobb all leaving, the Texans have Collins, Chris Conley, Keke Coutee and Anthony Miller battling for top-three roles at wide receiver. The rookie is far from a lock to win one of those jobs, but he's at least right in the mix and apparently making a good impression so far.
-
Miles Boykin WR | CHI
Ravens' Miles Boykin: Facing increased competition
Boykin is off to a slow start at training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Per Zrebiec, James Proche's strong start is giving him an inside track at a roster spot, and that creates a numbers crunch in terms of how many receivers the Ravens can carry on the regular-season roster. Boykin, who has yet to break out through two seasons, has blocking and special teams ability that makes him an asset. However, he'll need to show more as a pass catcher through the rest of camp to ensure his spot on the roster.

Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Practicing without restrictions
Reagor (lower body) was a full practice participant Monday, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Reagor returned to team drills Saturday and now is practicing without limitations. He and Travis Fulgham were banged up during the first week of training camp, while DeVonta Smith is stuck on the sideline with a knee sprain for the second straight week. Smith and Reagor remain the projected starters, with Fulgham and Greg Ward more likely to compete for the No. 3 job.
