Russell Gage WR | SF
49ers' Russell Gage: Healthy start to camp
Gage made an athletic grab during Tuesday's padded practice session, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Gage suffered a torn patellar tendon during training camp in 2023 that cost him the last two years of action. The veteran wideout admitted that his career felt in jeopardy before he latched on with the 49ers' practice squad late last season and rediscovered his burst. The 29-year-old had been a reliable depth option during his time with Atlanta and Tampa Bay, and there could be snaps available in San Francisco with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (calf) both with question marks hanging over them.

Dalen Cambre WR | NYG
Giants' Dalen Cambre: Making some waves in camp
Cambre has gotten some first-ream reps during practice in training camp, and his experience on special teams increases his odds of making the Giants' initial roster, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Cambre went undrafted, signing with New York as a free agent in late April. Nonetheless, the Louisiana product has intrigued enough to get some first-team reps Sunday, though it bears mentioning that fellow wideouts Jalin Hyatt and Wan'Dale Robinson (leg) were both held out with minor issues. New York also lost Bryce Ford-Wheaton for the season when he tore his Achilles on Sunday, opening the door toward a roster spot a little wider for Cambre, who (like Ford-Wheaton) is capable of working as a special-teams ace. Cambre remains a long shot to make the club, but he's at least inserted his name into the conversation for one of the final roster spots as a depth wideout and return man.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Status for Week 1 uncertain
Speaking Tuesday, coach Raheem Morris was non-committal on whether or not Mooney (shoulder) will be ready for the Falcons' Week 1 matchup with the Bucs, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Mooney suffered a shoulder injury in practice last Thursday and is expected to be sidelined for a "few weeks," Raimondi reported last week. The nature of Mooney's injury still isn't clear, but there's at least some concern it will linger into the regular season. KhaDarel Hodge is next up on the depth chart behind Drake London and slot man Ray-Ray McCloud should Mooney not be cleared in time to face Tampa Bay.

Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Displaying consistency in camp
Douglas has been the Patriots' most consistent receiver in training camp thus far, according to Paul Perillo of the team's official site.
The third-year wideout logged 66 catches on 87 targets for 621 yards and three TDs in 17 regular-season games in 2024 and has been showing improvement as a route runner in camp. With Josh McDaniels having been brought back as the Patriots offensive coordinator ahead of the 2025 campaign, Douglas has an opportunity to make his mark in PPR formats, while working in an offensive system that tends to feature its top slot receiver. In addition to Douglas' strong showing, projected No. 1 wideout Stefon Diggs continues to look sharp as he bounces back from a knee injury, giving second-year quarterback Drake Maye a solid platform from which to grow as a passer.

Danny Gray WR | PHI
Danny Gray: Let go by Philadelphia
The Eagles waived Gray (finger) with an injury designation Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Gray injured his finger during Saturday's training camp practice. If he's not claimed off waivers by another team, then Gray would revert to the Eagles' injured reserve, which would cause him to miss the entire 2025 season unless an injury settlement is reached. The 2022 third-round pick last saw regular-season action during his rookie season with the 49ers, when he played in 13 regular-season games and caught one pass (on seven targets) for 10 yards while adding nine rushing yards on one carry.

Kelvin Harmon WR | DAL
Kelvin Harmon: Let go by Dallas
The Cowboys waived Harmon on Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Harmon was aiming to make the Cowboys' 53-man roster after spending the entire 2024 season on Dallas' practice squad, but the 2019 sixth-rounder will be on the lookout for new opportunities, assuming he clears waivers. He hasn't seen NFL regular-season action since his rookie year with the Commanders, when he posted 30 catches on 44 targets for 365 yards in 16 games, but he did record a 31-375-3 line across seven games with the UFL's DC Defenders during the league's 2024 spring season.

Skyy Moore WR | SF
Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Dealing with hamstring injury
Moore left Tuesday's training camp practice due to a hamstring injury, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Moore may have been pulled as a precautionary measure, but it does put his availability over the next few days in question. The 2022 second-rounder needs all the reps he can get, as he is competing for a depth spot on the Chiefs' 53-man roster after being limited to just six regular-season games in 2024 due to an abdominal injury. The absences of Moore, Xavier Worthy (head) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) will give Nikko Remigio, Tyquan Thornton and Jason Brownlee the opportunity to get more reps on offense during team drills.

Ife Adeyi WR | PHI
Eagles' Ife Adeyi: Reunites with Eagles
Philadelphia re-signed Adeyi on Tuesday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Adeyi logged a brief stint with the Eagles during spring, and he now re-ups with the team early during training camp. The undrafted rookie out of Sam Houston ran a 4.35 40-yard dash (4.28 unofficial) and will need to translate that speed into impressive plays at camp for any shot of earning a depth role in Philadelphia's crowded WR corps.

Tahj Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tahj Washington: Makes plays downfield at camp
Washington (undisclosed) made a highlight play at practice Tuesday, hauling in a 50-yard pass from quarterback Zach Wilson, Barry Jackson, Omar Kelly and C. Isaiah Smalls of the Miami Herald report.
Washington missed his entire rookie season due to a lower-leg injury then opened OTAs in a non-contact jersey, but he appears fully healthy at training camp. The 2024 seventh-round pick will now work to both remain healthy and build some momentum while impressing as a downfield threat. He tallied 59 catches for 1,062 yards and eight touchdowns in his final season at USC.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Not on track to play Thursday
Johnston isn't in line to play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Lions, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said that "veteran traditional starters" won't be seeing action in the contest, with Ladd McConkey also slated to get Thursday off. In the wake of Mike Williams' retirement, McConkey and Johnston are on track to start this season, with 2025 draftees Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith looking to make an immediate impact in a wide receiver corps that also includes Derius Davis and Jalen Reagor (lower body).
