  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Avoids injury report

    Grant is not on Wednesday's injury report, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Grant missed some time in late August with a minor undisclosed injury, but he has long since recovered and isn't on the team's injury report heading into Week 1. Look for Grant to play a depth receiver role and return kicks against the Patriots in Week 1.

  • Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Ready to face Colts

    Shenault (undisclosed) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Shenault dealt with minor injuries during training camp, but his absence from the Jaguars' first report of 2020 means he'll begin his rookie season at full health. The rookie second-round pick should have an immediate opportunity to pick up snaps, as the Jaguars are lacking in established playmakers at receiver beyond top target DJ Chark. At least to begin the season, Shenault will compete with the likes of Chris Conley, Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook for snaps alongside Chark. Shenault could even have a chance to take some snaps out of the backfield after the Jaguars moved on from top rusher Leonard Fournette during training camp.

  • Texans' Brandin Cooks: Officially questionable for Week 1

    Cooks (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

    Cooks turned in a limited practice Wednesday after having been held out entirely the day prior, but his status for Thursday's season opener still remains up in the air. The 26-year-old stands to handle a starting role alongside Will Fuller and Randall Cobb if he's able to suit up, but if Cooks is forced to sit out, Kenny Stills will claim a regular spot in three-receiver sets.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Limited Wednesday

    Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    On Tuesday, Parker took part in practice for the first time in two weeks, wearing full pads and also a white sleeve to protect his left hamstring. He seems to be working his way back slowly but surely, with Friday's injury report ultimately giving a sense of his availability for a Week 1 visit to New England. With Jakeem Grant (undisclosed) not on Wednesday's injury report and Preston Williams (knee) putting in a limited session, the Dolphins may have their receiving corps at full strength in the season opener.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Gets on field Wednesday

    Reagor (upper body) donned pads at Wednesday's practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    After Reagor suffered an upper-body injury in late August, initial reports indicated that he would likely miss most of the first month of his rookie campaign, and the Eagles even termed him week-to-week. That said, his presence on the field Wednesday indicates the narrative may be changing about his availability for Week 1 at Washington. To boost his chances of playing right away, Reagor fielded punts during the session alongside Greg Ward and Deontay Burnett, per Frank. Reagor's activity level will be officially known upon the release of Wednesday's injury report.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Ravens' Chris Moore: Can't practice Wednesday

    Moore (finger) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Moore continues to nurse a fractured finger he sustained during training camp. The 2016 fourth-round pick primarily contributes on special teams for the Ravens, but if he were to miss Sunday's season opener against the Browns, it could open up additional work for rookie Devin Duvernay.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Misses practice with injury

    Evans was held out of practice Wednesday, with coach Bruce Arians calling the wide receiver is day-to-day with a soft-tissue injury, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    This is the first report of any issue for Evans this summer, and the timing is cause for concern even if the Buccaneers don't think it's a serious injury. The wideout has some history of hamstring and groin injuries, including a three-game absence to close out last season. Another update should be available later Wednesday, when the Bucs release their initial injury report for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Limited in Wednesday's practice

    Cooper (undisclosed) looks to be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Cooper started the session on a side field doing rehab work with resistance cords, but he then walked over to the main field and went through some drills with his teammates. Gehlken expects the wide receiver to gradually increase his practice participation throughout the week and ultimately suit up Sunday night in Los Angeles. Despite his frequent appearances on injury reports, Cooper has missed only three games through five pro seasons, and he's averaged 5.3 catches for 76.6 yards and 0.56 TDs in 25 regular-season contests for the Cowboys.

  • Jets' Breshad Perriman: Good to go

    Jets head coach Adam Gase said Perriman (knee) is slated to practice fully Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Perriman's return to practice sets the stage for him to see a key role in the Jets offense in Sunday's season opener versus the Bills. The wideout will now look to build off the late-season surge he enjoyed with the Buccaneers in 2019, with his fantasy upside tied to how well he meshes with third-year starting quarterback Sam Darnold.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Set to practice again

    Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Parker (hamstring) would practice again Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Parker was on the field Tuesday, marking the first time in nearly two weeks that he practiced in full pads. The Dolphins will release their first Week 1 injury report later Wednesday, at which time it will be known whether Parker is practicing on a full or limited basis. Even if he has his reps capped Wednesday, Parker would still seemingly put himself on track for Sunday's season opener in New England.
