Murray was waived by Seattle on Tuesday, Andy Patton of USA Today reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Florida State was unable to make a statement with the Seahawks, after he was just signed Thursday. In order to make room on the roster, Murray was replaced by linebacker Chris Worley.

Renfrow "seems to have already won" the Raiders' starting slot receiver competition, Vic Tafur of the Athletic reports.

That notion is echoed by Eddie Paskal of the team's official site, who notes that Renfrow -- who has had a strong training camp thus far -- is listed as the top slot receiver on the Raiders' unofficial depth chart, ahead of Ryan Grant and De'Mornay Pierson-El. If that's an arrangement that sticks, Renfrow -- a fifth-round draft pick this past April -- could carve out some PPR value in deeper formats. Antonio Brown (foot) and Tyrell Williams are slated to serve as the team's top two wideouts.

Isabella (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

Now that he's back on the field, Isabella can resume his quest to cement a role in an Arizona passing attack that returns Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk, a duo that combined for 112 catches last season.

Coach Pete Carroll is unsure whether Metcalf (oblique) will be available for Thursday's preseason game against the Broncos, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.

After Metcalf missed Saturday's scrimmage to tend to an oblique strain, there was hope that he would return to action Monday, but the rookie wideout remained on the sidelines. Carroll said the Seahawks will take a "wait-and-see" approach with Metcalf, who opened camp working with the first-team offense in two-wide sets. Metcalf seems poised to receive a portion of the targets yielded by the retired Doug Baldwin, but he'll have to compete with David Moore, Jaron Brown and 2019 fourth-rounder Gary Jennings for reps behind No. 1 option Tyler Lockett.

Shepard (thumb) is slated to undergo another X-ray soon, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The wideout notes that he's taking things day-by-day for now, but he has been able to get some work in at practice while he's on the mend, noting "my thumb is broken, but my legs aren't." Barring any setbacks, Shepard is expected to be fine in advance of the Giants' regular-season opener.

Jackson (knee) cleared waivers Saturday and reverted to the Browns' injured reserve, per the NFL communication's official transaction log.

Jackson will not count against Cleveland's active roster. Barring an injury settlement, the former Division III standout for Mary-Hardin Baylor will spend the 2019 season on IR.

Harry "lightened his workload" after getting his right leg checked out by trainers during Tuesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

At first glance this doesn't look like a major issue, but it could be enough for the receiver to be held out of Thursday's preseason opener against the Lions. As the the first wideout taken in the initial round of the NFL Draft by the Patriots in the Bill Belichick era, it's clear that the team has big plans for Harry. At 6-foot-2, 228-pounds and with top-shelf body control, Harry seems poised to claim a notable role in the New England offense as a rookie.

Beckham (illness) was back practicing Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Beckham was held out of Monday's session due to an illness, but as expected, it didn't keep the star wideout on the sidelines for long. Look for Beckham to be a full go as he continues to build chemistry with his new team ahead of the Browns' preseason opener Thursday.

Contrary to an earlier report, Crabtree worked out for the Cardinals on Monday but ultimately didn't sign with the team, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

It's not clear whether Crabtree remains an option for Arizona or if the two sides have moved on, but for now, the veteran receiver remains a free agent.

Kupp (knee) popped right back up off the turf after taking a hit in Sunday's practice, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Head coach Sean McVay noted Kupp has gotten better with each day of training camp, and the wideout added that it felt great to take his first real hit since tearing his ACL last November. Kupp remains on track to play Week 1, but it will be important to monitor his progress leading into the season. His return should provide a notable boost to the Los Angeles offense.
