Treadwell worked out for the Lions on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Treadwell visited with the Bills earlier this week but left without a contract. The 2016 first-round pick was cut by the Vikings this offseason and is looking to revitalize his career after an unimpressive start. If Treadwell were indeed to latch on with the Lions, he'd likely have to content himself with a depth role behind Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola.

Thielen (general soreness) wasn't listed Wednesday on the Vikings' first injury report of Week 1.

After taking a seat during the third game of the preseason due to what was termed as soreness, Thielen was back in the practice field in full capacity Wednesday. The same can't be said of Stefon Diggs, who sat out due to a hamstring injury. The extent of Diggs' injury isn't known, but any limitations for the wideout would likely equate to more targets for Thielen on Sunday versus the Falcons.

Diggs didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

In a surprise development at the start of Wednesday's session, Diggs was the sole Viking not in uniform. With a hamstring injury in tow, it'll be interesting to see how he progresses through the remainder of Week 1 preparations. If he's limited or can't suit up Sunday against the Falcons, Chad Beebe, Bisi Johnson and Josh Doctson would be in line for targets behind top wide receiver Adam Thielen.

Goodwin is listed as a starter opposite Dante Pettis (groin) on the 49ers' depth chart heading into the Week 1 matchup with the Buccaneers.

There were some rumblings that Goodwin's starting job could be in jeopardy when the team selected Deebo Samuel with its second pick in April's draft, but the veteran looks set to hold down a prominent role to begin the campaign. The 27-year-old endured a disappointing 2018 campaign (23 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns over 11 games), but a clean bill of health for both himself and signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo could bring some post-hype fantasy value in 2019.

Campbell appears primed to fill a large offensive role during Sunday's tilt against the Chargers, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Campbell flashed during the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals, notching three catches for 42 yards while showing that his hamstring injury is a thing of the past. The rookie second-round pick has also earned praise from Indianapolis' coaching staff for his quickness in picking up the offensive scheme. With his health intact and his preseason concluding on a high note, Campbell should have a decent chance of supplanting Chester Rogers as the No. 3 receiver early in the season.

Cooper (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper tended to a form of plantar fasciitis throughout August, keeping him out of the entire preseason slate. After making a return to the practice field Monday, he expressed confidence in his ability to be ready for the Cowboys' Week 1 matchup with the Giants, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Wednesday's complete showing clears Cooper's status for Sunday, when he'll serve as Dak Prescott's top target in the passing game.

Taylor (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Taylor is already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener at Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old wideout underwent foot surgery over three weeks ago and has shed his walking boot, but a return shouldn't be considered forthcoming until he starts practicing on at least a limited basis. Rookie receiver Deebo Samuel should benefit from increased opportunities as long as Taylor remains sidelined.

Pettis (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pettis' groin injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, but he's not quite in the clear yet for the 49ers' Week 1 game at Tampa Bay. The wideout dealt with criticism from coach Kyle Shanahan through training camp and the preseason, but the expectation remains that he'll open the season with the starting unit if his health cooperates.

Coach Pete Carroll said Metcalf (knee) will practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

After Carroll relayed that Metcalf "looked great" during Monday's session, the rookie's participation Wednesday isn't a surprise. More news regarding Metcalf's outlook for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals will come later Wednesday, when the Seahawks reveal the extent of the wideout's involvement in their first official practice of the week. If he progresses to active status Week 1, Metcalf likely would be in store for a limited snap count.

Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Slayton sat out of Wednesday's practice, and he's already been deemed out. The rookie fifth-round pick has been dealing with this hamstring injury since July and he tweaked it a week ago, so it's understandable that the Giants are proceeding with caution. This hurts the team's depth, and recent waiver-wire claim Cody Core will work as the No. 5 wideout now.
