Raymond hauled in six catches for 80 yards in the Titans' first preseason game against the Eagles. After the game, coach Mike Vrabel praised Raymond's toughness, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Raymond led the way for the Titans receiving corps Thursday, with his performance highlighted by a 21-yard reception. He's earned praise throughout training camp, even taking reps with the first-team offense in the absence of A.J. Brown (leg). While Raymond certainly won't be a starter in regular season action, he is stating his case to make the 53-man roster with his play early on in training camp.

St. Brown didn't haul in his lone target in Thursday's 28-26 preseason win over the Texans, but he did recover a fumbled punt for a touchdown.

St. Brown capitalized on a muffed punt, hitting the ball and finally gaining possession of it in the end zone to open the scoring toward the end of the first quarter. While that marked a significant contribution, the wideout was hardly involved on offense. Perhaps more importantly, he was observed entering the medical tent at one point, and although the lack of any follow-up reporting suggests he's fine, it's a situation that may be worth circling back on ahead of next week's exhibition outing against the Ravens.

Valdes-Scantling was not targeted in Thursday night's 28-26 preseason win over the Texans.

Valdes-Scantling was actually thrown to deep on Green Bay's very first offensive play, but the incomplete pass was voided by a holding call. The promising second-year wideout hardly featured afterward, but figures to get more work as the preseason slate unfolds.

Fountain had five receptions on seven targets for 63 yards in Thursday's preseason loss at Buffalo.

Fountain didn't play until the second half but had a strong showing. After spending most of last season on the practice squad and playing one game, he's battling for a final roster spot amid a deep receiving corps.

Wims caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Thursday night's 23-13 preseason loss to the Panthers.

Wims' pair of catches both came from backup quarterback Chase Daniel during the second quarter. His second reception helped the Bears move down the field on a touchdown drive, marking a nice contribution as he seeks to make the roster this preseason.

Montgomery rushed twice for seven yards and caught his lone target for five more in Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants.

Montgomery got the start with Le'Veon Bell sitting this one out, solidifying his position as the No. 2 running back on the depth chart. He showed off his versatile skill set in his one drive of action, and Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News believes that will be a common theme this season, given Montgomery's ability to line up both in the backfield and outside while running and receiving at a high level.

Coutee picked up a minor ankle injury during Thursday's preseason loss in Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Although Coutee was in visible pain at the end of a punt return and carted to the locker room, the Texans will breath a sigh of relief with this news. He managed just six appearances as a rookie in 2018, so the team likely will take a cautious approach with a month remaining until the regular season opener Sept 9 in New Orleans.

Crowder caught both of his targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants.

Crowder showed strong chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold right off the bat, turning upfield on a short pass for a 28-yard gain before capping the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown on a pick play. Despite his diminutive stature, the shifty slot receiver has been an effective red-zone weapon in the past, scoring seven touchdowns in 2016 as a member of the Redskins. If the starting offense's lone drive in this one is any indication, Crowder could be utilized often in close by his new team as well.

Powell caught both of his targets for 27 yards during Thursday's preseason opener against the Patriots.

The last time we saw Powell in a live game setting was in Week 17 of last season, when he drew the start against the Packers and caught six of nine targets for 103 yards. While there weren't many bright spots for the Lions on a night they got beat 31-3, Powell at least made a couple of plays and looks to have picked up where he left off from last year. The No. 4 receiver job in Detroit appears to be wide open in the wake of Jermaine Kearse's (leg) injury, and no other pass catcher did much to distinguish himself Thursday.

Harry (hamstring) caught both of his targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-3 preseason opening win over the Lions prior to exiting for precautionary reasons.

Harry made a nice 25-yard catch down the sideline at one point but was otherwise quiet in the blowout win, which he exited early with an apparent injury. His hamstring had been barking during the week, so it's possible the rookie first-rounder re-aggravated that injury. Look for Harry's production to ramp up as the preseason unfolds if he's able to get back to full health.
