Marquise Brown WR | KC
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Tweaks ankle Tuesday
Coach Andy Reid noted after Tuesday's practice that he believes Brown will be fine after suffering an ankle injury during the session, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
That said, Rapoport added that Brown figures to undergo testing to confirm the notion that his ankle issue isn't anything major, but for now we'll continue to view the wideout as day-to-day. The same applies to fellow WR Xavier Worthy, who banged his head prior to exiting Tuesday's practice.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Injury severity downplayed
The Giants do not believe the shoulder injury that caused Nabers to leave the practice field under his own power early Tuesday to be serious, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Nabers fell on his left shoulder while working as a blocker during a running play in team drills Tuesday, and he left the field with team head trainer Ronnie Barnes under his own power, but the decision to not have him return to practice was reportedly only a precautionary measure. New York has a rest day Wednesday, so Nabers' next chance to retake the practice field will come Thursday. It wouldn't be surprising to see New York take a cautious approach to the star wideout's recovery, and absences at such an early stage of training camp shouldn't be overblown. However, Nabers could use all the reps available as he works to build chemistry with a trio of new quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart.

Marquise Brown WR | KC
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Injures ankle Tuesday
Brown suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
After appearing to sustain a right lower leg injury during Tuesday's session, Brown headed back to the Chiefs' team facility in the front seat of a cart, with coach Andy Reid clarifying afterward that the wideout is dealing with an ankle issue, per Nate Taylor of ESPN.com. For now, consider Brown day-to-day as the team's Aug. 9 preseason opener against the Cardinals approaches.

Michael Pittman WR | IND
Colts' Michael Pittman: Sustains groin injury Tuesday
Pittman sustained a groin injury during Tuesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
For now, consider Pittman day-to-day as the Colts' Aug. 7 preseason opener against the Ravens approaches. When available, Pittman is on track to maintain a steady stream of passing targets in a Colts WR corps that also features Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Dealing with calf injury
Wicks (calf) is not practicing Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Wicks participated in Green Bay's first five training camp practices but has now picked up a calf injury, and a timetable for his return hasn't yet surfaced. The Packers added first-round wideout Matthew Golden (who is already taking first-team reps), third-rounder Savion Williams and Mecole Hardman in free agency, providing increased competition for Wicks in a WR corps that also returns Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, with Christian Watson (ACL) also tentatively working back into the mix later in the 2025 season. Wicks' separation skills are beyond repute, so if he can clean up his issues with drops (tied for third in the league with nine in 2024), he could take a step forward despite the added competition, but if consistency issues continue to plague the 2023 fifth-round pick he may simply fade into a murky rotation lower on the depth chart.

Marquise Brown WR | KC
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Exits Tuesday's practice
Brown appeared to sustain a right lower-leg injury during Tuesday's practice, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Brown subsequently headed back to Kansas City's team facility in the front seat of a cart to be evaluated. Consider the wideout day-to-day until an update on his status is provided.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre Harris: Strong practice Monday
Harris turned in one of his best practices of training camp Monday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
Harris showed off his strong hands and contested-catch ability while working in 11-on-11 drills helmed by Justin Herbert. While veteran wideout Jalen Reagor (lower body) has been sidelined, Harris and fellow rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith have had an opportunity to make their marks in practice. With Mike Williams having retired, there's a path for Harris -- who the Chargers took in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft -- to earn a key role out of the gate this season, while working alongside returnees Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Leaves practice early Tuesday
Nabers exited Tuesday's practice session early after appearing to injure his shoulder while blocking on a run play, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Nabers walked off the field under his own power with a trainer, per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. There aren't any indications that Nabers has sustained any sort of significant injury, with Dan Duggan of The Athletic noting that the second-year wideout may have simply been shaken up, but he at least appears done for the day. The 2024 first-round pick began training camp as a full practice participant, though head coach Brian Daboll has suggested that the toe injury that kept him sidelined throughout OTAs may need to be managed.

Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Back at practice Tuesday
Pierce (foot) is participating in practice Tuesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Pierce missed Monday's practice due to a blister on his foot, but it didn't take long for the 2022 second-round pick to get back to work. Despite poor quarterback play last year for the Colts, Pierce tallied career-high marks in receiving yards (824) and touchdowns (seven) while leading the league in yards per catch (22.3) across 16 regular-season games. As Indianapolis' go-to deep threat, every training camp rep will matter for Pierce as he works to build chemistry with both Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | NYG
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Back to limited practice
Robinson (leg) returned to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Robinson suffered a minor injury leg injury after colliding with a teammate over the weekend and missed Monday's practice, but he participated in walkthroughs and individual drills Tuesday before going to the side field to work with a trainer, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv. The 2022 second-round pick appears on track to return to practice quickly as a full participant.
