Covey secured four of six targets for 32 yards and returned one punt for 14 yards during Saturday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Browns.

The veteran's final appearance in the preseason started off with quarterback Dresser Winn's first target of the game, which fell incomplete. More notable for Covey's chances of making the final 53-man roster was who wasn't out on the field Saturday, as Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield joined Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington as players who head coach Sean McVay chose to rest. Given Covey's rather quiet preseason, his most likely outcome is a spot on the Rams' practice squad, unless the team chooses to keep seven wideouts on its initial 53-man roster.

Thornton brought in two of three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

The rookie fourth-round pick wrapped up his first preseason in strong form, recording a 17-yard touchdown reception and also seeing a 10-yard grab wiped out by the Raiders' acceptance of a pass interference penalty, all while working with Geno Smith on the opening possession. Thornton put together a 3-43-1 line on eight targets over three exhibitions, and he's tunneled his way up to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart heading into the regular season, seemingly surpassing fellow rookie Jack Bech.

Meyers failed to bring in his only target in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Meyers played on the Raiders' opening drive with Geno Smith and other starters but came up empty on his one opportunity. Despite a quiet preseason that saw him bring in only one of three targets for four yards, Meyers will begin the regular season against his old Patriots squad on Sunday, Sept. 7 as Las Vegas' No. 1 wide receiver, although tight end Brock Bowers could well prove to be Smith's top target over the course of the campaign.

Reagor recorded three catches on three targets for 33 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Reagor got a chance for extended run due to four of the Chargers' top receivers sitting out the game. He recorded all of his stats on passes from Trey Lance, highlighted by a 17-yard gain that came primarily after the catch. Reagor is fighting for a roster spot, and he made a solid case for himself with this performance.

Lambert-Smith did not record a reception on one target in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

The Chargers rested all of their starters, including fellow rookie Omarion Hampton. Lambert-Smith played in the team's first four offensive possessions and was targeted twice, once by Trey Lance and once by Taylor Heinicke -- though the latter was wiped out by a penalty. Lambert-Smith has been one of the key risers throughout the summer, and he could open the season as the team's fourth receiver, depending on the health and role of Tre Harris (undisclosed).

Moore recorded three receptions on six targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason win over the Chargers.

Moore technically didn't start, but he was heavily involved both on special teams and in the offense early in the game. His most notable contribution as a receiver came on a 12-yard catch on a pass delivered by Carter Bradley. However, his most likely path to contributing to start the regular season could be as a punt or kick returner, and he recorded a 26-yard kick return in Saturday's preseason finale.

Robinson (suspension) recorded two receptions on two targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-23 preseason win over the Chargers.

Robinson was a starting wide receiver opposite Robbie Chosen and made his biggest impact early in the second quarter when he made a 22-yard touchdown catch in the right corner of the end zone. Robinson is suspended for the first three games of the regular season, but he could be asked to serve as the 49ers' third receiver upon his return due to Brandon Aiyuk (knee) likely still being sidelined.

Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed after Saturday's preseason contest against the Chargers that Jennings (calf) has a chance to be available for a Week 1 road matchup with the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. "I expect him to be back, he should be back from it," Shanahan said. "But you never know with a calf."

The 49ers don't play again until Sunday, Sept. 7, so Jennings has two weeks to recover from the calf injury that has plagued him since the early days of training camp and sidelined him entirely since Aug. 4. He thus didn't see any exhibition action, but whenever he's healthy he's expected to help pace a wide receiver group that won't have top option Brandon Aiyuk (knee) available until roughly Week 6. With both Aiyuk and possibly Jennings sidelined, though, Ricky Pearsall might be left as the primary option at the position for QB Brock Purdy and San Francisco's offense.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said this weekend that Cowing (hamstring) could be sidelined for six weeks, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Cowing missed time last summer with a hamstring injury, and he also missed a sizable chunk of this year's training camp with a pulled hamstring. It's becoming a chronic issue for the second-year wide receiver after he was unable to log any preseason playing time this summer. There's a decent chance he begins the 2025 campaign on injured reserve, which would cost Cowing at least the first four games of the regular season.

Johnson secured all eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

Johnson comfortably led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets, putting together his second straight noteworthy performance. The rookie seventh-round pick has bounced back from missing the preseason opener by posting a 12-82-1 receiving line on 15 targets over the subsequent pair of games. Johnson is primed to see a somewhat meaningful role to open his NFL career, as injuries to Chris Godwin (PUP-ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) are expected to keep both players out for at least the first four games of the regular season.
