Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that it's "highly unlikely" that Taylor (foot) will be ready for Week 1, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Taylor was spotted in a walking boot following surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his pinky toe last week. The original recovery timeline was placed at 4-to-6 weeks, which gave him an outside chance for the start of the regular season. If the veteran can't suit up, slot duties would fall to Jordan Matthews, Deebo Samuel or Kendrick Bourne in three-wide sets.

Williams agreed to a deal with the 49ers on Tuesday.

Williams, an undrafted free agent in 2013, has played for a plethora of teams since. From the Redskins, to the Falcons, Titans and Rams, he has recorded just 280 yards on 30 receptions in 26 games. He had been with the Broncos for training camp but was recently let go. The journeyman will now look to make an impression in a small period of time at San Francisco's camp.

Moore is dealing with a non-displaced fracture in his upper arm, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Meanwhile, coach Pete Carroll suggested Tuesday that Moore could push to get back on field as early as next week, with John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site noting that the wideout is not a candidate for IR. Though Carroll is hopeful of for a "real quick recovery" on Moore's part, it doesn't seem especially likely that the wideout will bounce back in time to play in Week 1. If Moore unavailable to start the season, DK Metcalf (knee) -- health permitting -- could see added opportunities out of the gate, along with the likes of Jaron Brown, Gary Jennings and John Ursua.

Metcalf (knee) still hopes to play in the Seahawks' regular-season opener, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

With that in mind, the rookie wideout is a candidate to ramp up his on-field activities this week. Though it's no lock he'll be ready for Week 1 action, if he is, David Moore's shoulder injury could pave the way for Metcalf -- health permitting -- to see a decent amount of playing time out of the gate this season.

Coutee (ankle) is iffy for Week 1 action, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

At this point, coach Bill O'Brien is "not hopeful" that Coutee will be ready to suit up in time for the Texans' regular-season opener against the Saints. If Coutee ends up missing a game or two out of the gate, added opportunities (behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller) would be available for DeAndre Carter and Vyncint Smith.

Murray signed a contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Murray previously spent around five days with Seattle in early August. The undrafted rookie out of Florida State will now work to make the most of his second chance with the Seahawks, and has a shot to carve out a depth role with both DK Metcalf (knee) and David Moore (shoulder) managing injuries.

Though Chark is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, he'll practice Tuesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

With that, the wideout appears on track to be ready for the Jaguars' season opener in the absence of any setbacks. Heading into the 2019 campaign, Chark figures to battle for snaps with Chris Conley and Marqise Lee behind top receiver Dede Westbrook. The 2018 second-rounder logged just 14 catches for 174 yards in 11 games last season, but with improved QB play a reasonable expectation this year with Nick Foles on board, Chark should see an uptick in production. Whether that translates to much fantasy relevance remains to be seen, however, and hinges on his ability to garner steady playing time.

Campbell (hamstring) could play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bengals, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

The 2019 second-rounder returned to practice Monday and the hope is that he'll get some game reps in Thursday. If all goes well on that front, Campbell will then look to secure a notable role in the Colts offense to start the coming season. For now, T.Y Hilton and Devin Funchess sit atop the team's wideout depth chart, but Campbell has the talent to make an impact as the 2019 season rolls along, particularly if he's able to form a strong rapport with starting QB Jacoby Brissett.

Harry (leg) was "jogging gingerly" and "moving at a noticeably lighter pace" than the Patriots' other wideouts at Monday's practice, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Harry has been limited at practice since sustaining an unspecified injury in the Patriots' preseason opener and has missed subsequent exhibition contests against the Titans and Panthers. The 2019 first-rounder still has some time to get up to speed in advance of Week 1, but his early season role is difficult to project, now that both Josh Gordon and Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) have returned to practice. Harry is clearly part of the Patriots' long-term plans, and thus has plenty of value in keeper/dynasty formats, but the time he has missed of late doesn't help his chances of making a big impact out of the gate this season.

Anderson is day-to-day with a calf injury, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Anderson likely would be held out of the preseason finale even if he were healthy, finishing the exhibition slate with five catches for 92 yards on five targets. With a Week 1 game against Buffalo on the horizon, Anderson's practice availability will be closely monitored in the coming days. He's locked in as the Jets' top deep threat, and possibly Sam Darnold's favorite target overall.
