Brown (foot) has passed his physical, which sets the stage for him to practice as soon as Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown, who underwent left foot surgery in January, passed the Ravens' conditioning test last Wednesday and now that he's cleared this latest hurdle, the first wide receiver selected in April's draft is poised for his first practice with the team. Given the state of the Baltimore's wideout depth chart, Brown seems likely to assume a key role as a rookie. While the speedster's target volume may not be especially high, his potential to excel as a deep threat for QB Lamar Jackson gives Brown some fantasy upside out of the gate.

The lower-body injury that kept Hollins out of practice recently doesn't appear serious,Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Hollins had been having a good camp before feeling something Monday and being held out for the day. Domowitch speculates that while watching the 25-year-old catch passes off the JUGS machine later, the injury appeared to be to the left hamstring, although the player would not confirm. The North Carolina product expects to be back in practice within the next couple of days, however.

Crowder, who was forced out of practice Monday due to a foot injury, has been cleared to practice Wednesday,Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Crowder, who had his left foot examined by trainers after exiting Monday's practice, was then slated to undergo an MRI. Evidently, the results were favorable, and the 26-year-old can now resume his quest to lock down the role as the Jets' primary slot man, while Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa handle the team's outside wideout duties.

Hill suffered a bruised quadriceps Tuesday and is expected to be fine, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After sustaining the injury during Tuesday's practice, Hill spent a couple of minutes in the team's medical tent with trainers before being carted off to the locker room. Fortunately, his quad issue appears minor, so we'll consider the wideout day-to-day for now.

Hill was removed from practice Tuesday with an apparent right leg injury, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Hill spent a couple minutes in the medical tent with trainers before he was carted off to the locker room. With any luck, the Chiefs will provide an update after practice when players and coaches chat with the media.

Johnson is off to a strong start at training camp, but offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner is tempering expectations, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports. "I've been through the entire process of Emmanuel (Sanders) and AB and Mike Wallace," Fichtner said. "But they all needed (the) weight room, they all needed a redshirt year, if you could."

Fichtner specifically mentioned that the rookie third-round pick needs to add 10 pounds of muscle to his 5-foot-11, 183-pound frame. Johnson's combine metrics -- 4.53 40, 33.5-inch vertical, 11.54 agility score -- are disappointing for an undersized wide receiver, but he has a reputation for excellent route running after he caught 123 passes for 2,039 yards and 21 TDs over his final two seasons at Toledo. The open competition for wideout roles behind JuJu Smith-Schuster presents a nice opportunity, though Fichtner makes an interesting point about other smallish receivers in Pittsburgh being limited to part-time roles during their rookie seasons. Donte Moncrief (finger) opened training camp working alongside Smith-Schuster with the first-team offense.

Campbell (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Despite suffering an injury at the end of Sunday's practice, Campbell earned high praise for his performance from coach Frank Reich. The rookie wide receiver may miss some time, but it didn't sound like the Colts were too worried about his hamstring.

Moore is struggling with drops during the first week of training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and head coach John Harbaugh praised Moore during the offseason, with the former even referring to the wideout as a breakout candidate. It doesn't seem to be playing out that way at training camp, where rookie Miles Boykin reportedly has been the team's best wide receiver. Moore could still be in the mix for a starting job, but it's also possible he'll land on the roster bubble if the early struggles continue. His experience on kickoff returns should at least be one point working in his favor.

Agholor (lower body) said he isn't worried about his contract, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "It's the final year of a contract, not the final year of my career," Agholor said. "That's my mind-set. I'm not concerned with it being Year 5, or fifth-year option."

Scheduled to make $9.4 million this season under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, Agholor is locked in as the Eagles' primary slot receiver but may find that the role entails fewer targets than it did the past two seasons. Between the additions of DeSean Jackson and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and continued growth from No. 2 tight end Dallas Goedert, the Eagles have no shortage of promising options in the passing game. Agholor at least seems healthy for training camp after missing part of the offseason program with an unspecified lower body injury.

Brown (leg) did not practice Monday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Brown missed a third consecutive day of practice after exiting practice Friday. He's struggled to remain on the field early in his rookie season and is now falling behind in training camp.
