Beasley hauled in his only target for 13 yards in the Bills' 24-16 preseason win over the Colts on Thursday.

Signed to a four-year, $29 million contract this offseason, Beasley is expected to reprise the slot role he was so proficient in during his Dallas days and serve as a trusted safety valve for promising second-year quarterback Josh Allen. The 30-year-old wideout played relatively sparingly in Thursday's exhibition opener, although he did see his initial catch, a seven-yard grab, wiped out by an offensive holding penalty. Beasley could see more action over the next two preseason games as Allen looks to develop rapport with his top receivers.

Meyers caught six of eight targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-3 preseason opening win over the Lions.

Meyers got into the end zone twice in the second quarter, catching a three-yard touchdown pass from Brian Hoyer and a five-yarder from Jarrett Stidham. The rookie undrafted free agent has mixed in with the first team at times in camp, and this performance shows that Meyers isn't out of his depth there. Given the uncertainty on New England's wide receiver depth chart, Meyers is a player to keep an eye on as the preseason unfolds.

Coutee (leg) was helped off the field during Thursday's preseason game in Green Bay, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coutee was in a lot of pain at the end of a punt return and favoring his lower right leg. Carted to the locker room thereafter, he'll be evaluated to figure out the precise nature of the injury.

The Bills have cleared Jones (head) to return to Thursday's preseason game against the Colts.

Jones appears to have passed all concussion tests, but it'd be a surprise if the Bills risk another potential hit to the wideout's head in their exhibition opener.

Adams won't play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Texans, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Adams will join Aaron Rodgers in street clothes, keeping the Packers' top connection out of commission. It remains to be seen when they'll both be on the field for their first foray in new coach Matt LaFleur's system, but Rodgers is hoping to suit up for both the second and third exhibitions.

Jones had to leave Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts and is being evaluated for a head injury.

We imagine Jones' night is over even if he were to be cleared by trainers. If Jones has a concussion, it'd be potentially damaging news for an offense that's trying to find itself following a rough 2018 campaign and one that still lacks a clear No. 1 receiver.

Robinson won't suit up for Thursday's preseason game versus the Panthers.

Despite staying health all offseason, Robinson will be held out by coach Matt Nagy in the exhibition opener. Robinson will be joined by Taylor Gabriel and Cordarrelle Patterson on the sidelines, leaving the likes of Anthony Miller, Javon Wims, Riley Ridley and Marvin Hall to man wide receiver.

Davis is not in uniform for Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Davis is among a slew on NFL starters being rested in their team's preseason openers Thursday. The next chance the Titans' top wideout has to play in a game arrives Aug. 17 versus the Patriots.

Conley won't dress for Thursday's preseason game against the Bills, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.

Conley is expected to have a solidified role in the offense for 2019, so the team is likely giving him a rest day. He is one of six wide receivers held out for the game, likely leaving the trio of Keelan Cole, C.J. Board and Tyre Brady with plenty of work.

Josina Anderson of ESPN relays that the plan is for Beckham "not to play, at this time" in Thursday's preseason game against Washington.

Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram notes that both Beckham and Jarvis Landry were spotted warming up on field before the game, but Anderson's sources suggest that Browns are inclined to hold Beckham out of action Thursday.
