Harry (leg) was spotted on the field at the start of Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Harry had his reps capped during Tuesday's practice after apparently tweaking his right leg and getting checked out by team trainers. The rookie's presence on the field Wednesday is a welcome sight, though it's worth noting the team won't be donning pads for the session. The Patriots have yet to decide on Harry's status for Thursday's preseason opener versus Detroit.

Hill (quadriceps) was on the field Wednesday for the start of the Chiefs' practice, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.

Hill first bruised his right quad in a July 30 camp session and has had his workload limited ever since. His presence on the field Wednesday is an encouraging sign, but the Chiefs may opt to limit his reps and exposure to contact to guard against a potential setback. Based on his limited activity in camp to date, Hill isn't a safe bet to play in Saturday's preseason opener versus the Bengals.

Montgomery is listed as the No. 2 running back and No. 2 kick returner on the Jets' first unofficial depth chart, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Montgomery is likely pleased with his initial placement in what should be a heated battle for snaps behind Le'Veon Bell, but his value to the team would increase if he's able to leapfrog second-year running back Trenton Cannon for the special teams role. Cannon struggled with ball security last season and is on the roster bubble, while Montgomery has averaged 22.7 yards per return on 35 career kick returns.

Metcalf (oblique) participated in Tuesday's scrimmage without limitations and is expected to play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Broncos, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.

Metcalf strained his oblique in practice last week and was limited to individual drills until Tuesday's team scrimmage when he worked at full speed. The rookie second-round pick made contested catches against the Seahawks' first-team secondary during the scrimmage, proving he should be ready to showcase his skills against the Broncos. Fantasy owners should be interested in Metcalf's NFL debut, considering his athleticism and build give him a ceiling of Calvin Johnson. However, the question marks about his route-running give him a more modest projection.

Cain, who is coming back from a torn ACL in August 2018, will play in Thursday's preseason game at Buffalo, head coach Frank Reich told 1070 am Indianapolis.

The 2018 sixth-round pick has been at full speed in practice and will play his first preseason game after missing all of last season. Cain may not be full speed until midway through the 2019 campaign as he comes back from the injury. However, he's a player to watch as he could eventually contend for a regular role amid a deep receiving corps.

Jackson (knee) was waived with an injury settlement by the Browns on Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Jackson was let go by the Browns after getting by passed on waivers and even was placed on injured reserve. It's unclear how he picked up the injury but he should be considered a long shot to make an NFL roster this season.

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.
