Marquise Brown WR | KC
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Not practicing yet
Brown (ankle/foot) appears slated to sit out Tuesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Kansas City coach Andy Reid talked up Brown's progress Monday, saying that the veteran wideout has resumed running, but he's still not yet ready to log his first on-field action at practice since July 29. Brown's ankle/foot injury kept him from suiting up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Cardinals, and he still looks uncertain for Friday's exhibition matchup on the road in Seattle.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Labeled day-to-day
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Waddle (undisclosed) and fellow starting wideout Tyreek Hill (oblique) are both day-to-day, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
McDaniel said a decision hasn't yet been made on the status of the duo for joint practices against the Lions this week, but that "they're definitely in the conversation" to get reps, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. As a result of seemingly minor injuries, both Waddle and Hill sat out Sunday's preseason debut against the Bears, but it sounds like each has a fair chance to get healthy in time for exhibition action Saturday versus Detroit.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Another limited practice
Brown (hamstring) will be a limited practice participant Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Brown returned to practice Sunday after missing a week of training camp. He isn't back to full participation yet and may not play in the preseason, but his quick return to practice -- even in a limited capacity -- suggests the Eagles aren't worried about his hamstring injury.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Still day-to-day
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Hill (oblique) is still day-to-day and that he's unsure whether the wide receiver will participate in joint practices this week with the Lions, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
McDaniel said the same of fellow starting wideout Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed), who like Hill sat out Sunday's preseason opener against the Bears. There haven't yet been any serious warning flags raised regarding the status of either Hill or Waddle for Week 1, but it's less than ideal for both of Miami's star receivers to be missing reps at this stage. One or both of them could still take part in the joint practices however, with McDaniel saying "they're definitely in the conversation," per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Building chemistry with Daniels
Samuel and Jayden Daniels have shown a strong connection throughout training camp, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.
Samuel has been the de facto No. 1 wideout at training camp due to the absence of Terry McLaurin, who requested a trade at the beginning of August as part of a contract dispute. It sounds like Samuel and Daniels have built chemistry quickly, setting the table for the former 49er to have a big role in Washington's offense right out of the gate. The report also notes that Samuel currently weighs around 220 pounds, with nine percent body fat, after playing much of last season at 225 pounds. Conditioning was an issue for the wideout last year in San Francisco, although that was due to a case of pneumonia more than his weight or fitness. Samuel focused on improving his stamina this offseason in preparation for a role in Kliff Kingsbury's uptempo offense.

Monaray Baldwin WR | MIA
Monaray Baldwin: Let go by Miami
The Dolphins waived Baldwin on Monday.
Baldwin played 13 snaps on offense during Sunday's preseason game against the Bears but failed to record a catch on one target. Assuming he clears waivers, the undrafted free agent out of Baylor will look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

Chris Tyree WR | NO
Saints' Chris Tyree: Goes to injured reserve
Tyree (undisclosed) reverted to New Orleans' injured-reserve list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Tyree was not claimed by another team after the Saints waived him with an undisclosed injury Sunday, and now he's back with the club on IR. Unless he can work out an injury settlement with New Orleans, he's set to spend the entire 2025 season sidelined.

Kawaan Baker WR | GB
Kawaan Baker: Cut by Las Vegas
Baker was waived by the Raiders on Monday.
Baker signed with the Raiders on Aug. 3, but he will now potentially be looking for another opportunity elsewhere. The move made room for Marquez Callaway, who was signed by the team Monday. If Baker clears waivers, it's certainly possible that he sticks around Las Vegas as a member of the team's practice squad.

Marquez Callaway WR | LV
Raiders' Marquez Callaway: Headed to Las Vegas
Callaway and the Raiders agreed on a contract Monday.
Callaway will join the Raiders ahead of the team's second preseason contest Saturday versus the 49ers. The wide receiver has appeared in five regular-season games in the last two years with the Saints and Buccaneers, and if he does crack the Raiders' 53-man roster, it'd likely be as a special-teams asset.

Luke Floriea WR | CLE
Luke Floriea: Let go by Cleveland
The Browns waived Floriea (hamstring) with an injury designation Monday.
Floriea suffered a hamstring injury during the Browns' preseason win over the Panthers on Friday, with head coach Kevin Stefanski indicating that the injury is "serious," per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. Floriea will revert to the Browns' injured-reserve list if he's not claimed off waivers by another team. Were that to be the case, he would be forced to sit out for the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
