  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Sits out preseason opener

    Shaheed did not play in Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

    Shaheed was in uniform and warming up with the Saints' starters pregame, but he ultimately stayed on the sideline during Sunday's loss. He and Chris Olave (ankle) are the two wideouts who are guaranteed to have a starting spot for the Saints when healthy this season, so it's unlikely that either player will need to play much this preseason. The next opportunity for Shaheed and Olave to suit up this preseason will come versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Aug. 17.

  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: Scores 54-yard touchdown Sunday

    Tipton logged one reception (three targets) for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.

    Tipton was on the receiving end of New Orleans' biggest highlight play Sunday, breaking wide open deep before catching a pass in stride from quarterback Tyler Shough for a 54-yard touchdown in the third quarter. This was the second-year wideout's first target of the game, and he finished in a four-way tie for the fourth-most targets on the team Sunday. Tipton was one of the standout players from last year's preseason for the Saints, and he appeared in 11 regular-season games during his rookie season. He'll be competing with Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and others for the team's final wide receiver spot heading into the 2025 campaign.

  • Van Jefferson WR | TEN

    Titans' Van Jefferson: Targeted once in Titans debut

    Jefferson did not catch his only target during Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    More important than his stat line, Jefferson played with the starting unit. He received his lone target on the opening drive and played 13 offensive snaps, comparable to Calvin Ridley's 11 and Tyler Lockett's 10. Jefferson was listed as a starter on Tennessee's initial depth chart, and his usage supported that.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Rotates in after Ayomanor

    Dike recorded one reception (on two targets) for six yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    Dike received his first target early in the third quarter, notably rotating in after Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson. His first opportunity was a deep shot from Brandon Allen, and Dike then hauled in his next target for a six-yard gain. Dike also returned one kickoff for 32 yards, which could be one of his primary roles to begin the regular season.

  • Tru Edwards WR | LAR

    Rams' Tru Edwards: Comes off PUP list

    The Rams activated Edwards (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Edwards began training camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but he's now healthy enough to resume practicing. He'll look to use Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers as an opportunity to make up for lost time.

  • Quez Watkins WR | PHI

    Quez Watkins: Released with injury settlement

    The Cardinals released Watkins (undisclosed) from IR on Sunday with an injury settlement, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Watkins suffered an undisclosed injury during practice early August and was placed on IR, but he'll now be eligible to sign elsewhere and play during the 2025 season, once fully healthy. He spent time on the Steelers' practice squad last year.

  • Bub Means WR | NO

    Saints' Bub Means: Leaves with apparent injury

    Means (lower leg) exited Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers due to an apparent lower leg injury, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.

    Means logged one reception for 12 yards before his departure Sunday. The 2024 fifth-round pick missed the final nine games of the regular season in his rookie year due to an ankle injury, but he was medically cleared back in January.

  • Chris Tyree WR | NO

    Chris Tyree: Waived with injury designation

    The Saints waived Tyree (undisclosed) with an injury designation Sunday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Tyree will revert to season-ending IR if he goes unclaimed on waivers. In that event, Tyree's only path to suiting up for action in 2025 will be for him to reach an injury settlement with New Orleans. He signed with the team in April after going undrafted out of Notre Dame.

  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Returns to practice Sunday

    Brown (hamstring) returned to practice Sunday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    It remains to be seen whether Brown's able to participate without limitations, but this nonetheless marks a step in the right direction as he works his way back from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for the past week. The Eagles have little reason to rush Brown's recovery process, and there have been no indications that his availability for the Thursday, Sept. 4 regular-season opener against the Cowboys is in any danger.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Hurts groin in practice Sunday

    Pierce suffered a groin injury during Sunday's practice, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis reports.

    Pierce tried to return to practice after initially heading to the locker room due to the injury, but he was carted back to the locker room shortly afterwards. A recovery timetable has yet to be established, but if Pierce misses additional time due to this injury, it would create more opportunities for Adonai Mitchell to work in three-receiver sets alongside Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
