  • Raiders' Bryan Edwards: Separating from the pack?

    Edwards has seen more consistent reps with the first-team offense than the likes of Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones, Vic Tafur, Jimmy Durkin, Ted Nguyen and Tashan Reed of The Athletic's State of the Nation podcast report.

    Edwards appears to have already earned the trust of Las Vegas' training staff, as Tafur speculates that the team would not hesitate to start the South Carolina product in the event that Tyrell Williams (shoulder) were forced to miss time. Still, Williams appears to have a fair shot at playing through his torn labrum, and if the veteran is on the field it's unlikely that Edwards would immediately usurp him. Rookie first-round pick Henry Ruggs also appears locked into an immediate offensive role, and it's possible that coach Jon Gruden would balk at relying on two rookie wideouts to each handle consistent snaps right out of the gate.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Could miss most of September

    Reagor (shoulder) isn't expected to require surgery but could be out for about four weeks, according to Geoff Mosher of 97.5 The Fanatic Philadelphia.

    The timeline shouldn't be considered definitive by any means, as the Eagles are still waiting for results from an MRI. The rookie first-round pick injured his shoulder during Sunday's practice and was taken back to the locker room shortly thereafter. With Reagor now in serious danger of missing Week 1, the Eagles could turn to J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and/or John Hightower for perimeters snaps across from DeSean Jackson. For what it's worth, Reagor tweeted "B Back Soon" a couple hours after his exit from Sunday's practice. Meanwhile, Drew Davison of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram reports Reagor has been diagnosed with a small labrum team, with the expectation he'll miss Week 1 but could be back as as soon as Week 2.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Headed for MRI, but team optimistic

    Reagor (shoulder) is scheduled for an MRI, but the Eagles are optimistic his injury isn't serious, Daniel Gallen of the The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

    Reagor suffered the injury during Sunday's practice while trying to make a tackle on an interception. He was evaluated on the sideline before heading off to the locker room, and he'll now need additional tests to provide a diagnosis. The rookie has been getting plenty of work with the first-string offense, making a strong bid for the starting spot opposite DeSean Jackson. Any absence could free up more playing time for J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward or John Hightower.

  • Scott Miller WR | CHI

    Buccaneers' Scotty Miller: Constantly making plays

    Miller has been able to keep up his early-camp momentum by regularly making plays in practices, and he hauled in a 55-yard bomb from Tom Brady in Friday's scrimmage at Raymond James Stadium, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    The second-year speedster's name seemingly comes up in every training camp wrap-up, as Miller has quickly developed an impressive rapport with Brady and has been able to make plays on a number of different routes and depths of target. That was on display again in Friday's scrimmage, with Miller recording a 20-yard grab in the earlier portion of the simulated game and then subsequently bringing in the deep throw on a post route later in the session. The 23-year-old may have already locked in the No. 3 receiver role, as Tyler Johnson (undisclosed) has simply been too beset by injury and Justin Watson, while also making his share of plays, hasn't quite been on the same level as Miller.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Misses Sunday's session

    Diggs did not practice Sunday as he continues to nurse a sore back, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Diggs was still with his teammates, watching the practice from the sidelines, so perhaps it's just a minor injury. Still, any missed time with his new team and trying to develop a rapport with Josh Allen in a preseason-less summer may come with a cost.

  • Browns' KhaDarel Hodge: Competing for No. 3 job?

    Hodge is working as the No. 3 receiver at Sunday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Hodge missed some practice time this past week for personal reasons, but he's solidly in the mix for a depth role in the Cleveland offense. He logged 260 snaps on special teams and only 129 on offense last season, but he perhaps has a real shot at the No. 3 spot given that the competition consists of Rashard Higgins, Damion Ratley, Taywan Taylor and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Of course, the Browns figure to make frequent use of formations that utilize a second tight end (David Njoku) or a fullback (Andy Janovich) instead of a third wide receiver.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Titans' A.J. Brown: Misses practice Sunday

    Brown (undisclosed) isn't practicing Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Brown was removed from Friday's practice with what appeared to be a minor injury. His absence will be a concern if it stretches beyond a few days longer, but there hasn't yet been any suggestion he's in danger of missing Week 1 at Denver. Brown will even have an extra day to get back to full strength, as the Titans and Broncos will be the last two teams to square off in the opening week of the season (10:10 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 14).

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Exits practice early

    Reagor left Sunday's practice with an apparent arm injury, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    During team drills, Reagor suffered an injury while trying to tackle Will Parks, who intercepted Jalen Hurts. After being evaluated on the sidelines, Reagor was quickly escorted to the locker room with trainers. It appears the rookie's day is done, and the team will conduct further testing before updating his status. This is quite concerning, as Reagor has been impressive in camp and was expected to be a Week 1 starter opposite DeSean Jackson.

  • Jaguars' Collin Johnson: Secures roster spot

    Johnson was the star of Saturday's scrimmage and appears to have locked down a spot on the regular-season roster, according to Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville.

    Johnson got most of his work with the backups but also caught a pass from Minshew, taking advantage of the opportunity with both Dede Westbrook (shoulder) and Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) held out of the scrimmage. It won't be easy for the rookie fifth-round pick to earn snaps amidst a receiver group that also has DJ Chark, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole, but it does seem like Johnson will be part of the team, at the very least. Given the expectation of a rebuilding season, there's a good chance the Jags will want to see more from Shenault and Johnson before the year is done.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Sprains ankle

    Kupp is dealing with a low-ankle sprain but isn't believed to be in any danger of missing Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    There was speculation of a problem after Kupp was removed from Saturday's scrimmage, but coach Sean McVay claims the wide receiver wasn't injured. It turns out Kupp did indeed suffer an injury, just not an especially serious one. The initial report suggests he'll miss some practice time during the upcoming week before returning for Week 1 against the Cowboys.
