  • Quintez Cephus WR | HOU

    Quintez Cephus: Let go by Niners

    The 49ers waived Cephus on Monday.

    Cephus signed with the 49ers on Thursday to give the team wide receiver depth in the wake of Jacob Cowing's hamstring injury. However, the Niners needed to make space on the training camp roster after signing corner Eli Apple, which led to Cephus being cut. Cephus will likely clear waivers, at which time he'll look to join a team in need of a depth receiver.

  • Jaguars' Louis Rees-Zammit: Nursing back injury

    Rees-Zammit has been sidelined for multiple training camp practices due to a lower-back injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

    It's not clear when Rees-Zammit sustained the injury. It comes at a bad time for the former Welsh rugby player as he looks to earn a spot on the Jaguars' 53-man roster. Rees-Zammit will aim to be at full health for Jacksonville's preseason opener against Pittsburgh on Aug. 9.

  • Danny Gray WR | PHI

    Eagles' Danny Gray: Misses Monday's practice

    Gray did not practice Monday due to a finger injury, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Gray likely picked up the injury after colliding with Andrew Mukuba during team drills Saturday. The injury comes at an inopportune time for Gray, who is battling for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster after spending the entire 2024 campaign on the practice squad. The 2022 third-round pick will focus on getting healthy ahead of the Eagles' preseason opener against the Bengals on Aug. 7.

  • Kaden Prather WR | BUF

    Bills' Kaden Prather: Working through hamstring injury

    Prather (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

    The rookie seventh-rounder is competing for a spot on the Bills' 53-man roster, but he will be limited to sideline work while nursing a hamstring injury. With Prather, Elijah Moore (leg) and Curtis Samuel (hamstring) all sidelined, players like Laviska Shenault, Jalen Virgil and KJ Hamler will see an uptick in practice reps.

  • Deon Cain WR | BUF

    Bills' Deon Cain: Back with Buffalo

    The Bills signed Cain to a contract Monday.

    Cain spent the 2024 season on the Panthers' and Bills' practice squads before being let go by Buffalo in early December. He's back with the Bills, and while he's unlikely to make the 53-man roster, he will have a shot to make the practice squad at the conclusion of training camp. Cain last saw NFL regular-season action in 2020 as a member of the Steelers, when he appeared in two regular-season games and played 10 snaps on offense; however, he's consistently contributed as a member of the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL and UFL the last three springs, compiling 78 receptions for 1,132 yards and 11 touchdowns across 27 regular-season games in that span.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Harnessing perfectionist mindset

    Egbuka has looked like a polished veteran in several aspects of his game during the early portion of training camp, in no small part due to his perfectionist mindset, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    The rookie first-round pick has had praise heaped on him by coaches and teammates for his precision on routes and high football IQ since he first took the field this offseason, and those traits are the byproduct of Egbuka's approach to the game since he began playing it. The Ohio State product noted Monday he's never needed additional external motivation because of the high standards he already sets for himself, and Dix reports that's already helped Egbuka stand out in his nuanced route running, timing, control at the catch point and quickness as he comes in and out of breaks.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Treylon Burks: Waived with injury designation

    The Titans waived Burks (collarbone) with an injury designation Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Burks suffered a broken collarbone in practice last week, and he'll now head to waivers after the Titans signed fellow WR Ramel Keyton in a corresponding move. If Burks clears waivers, he'll be placed on injured reserve, where he could then be cut with an injury settlement at a later date. Since being taken with the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Burks has amassed a career receiving line of 53-699-1 on 92 targets across 27 regular-season contests. He's been neither healthy nor productive in Tennessee.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | LAC

    Chargers' Jalen Reagor: Misses another practice

    Reagor (lower body) isn't practicing Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Reports from the offseason program and opening days of training camp had Reagor getting a lot of first-team reps on offense, but he's now been unavailable for nearly a week. Quentin Johnston and Tre Harris, meanwhile, remain the favorites to take WR snaps in the regular season alongside Ladd McConkey. Reagor is more likely to jockey with Derius Davis and KeAndre Lambert-Smith for depth WR roles and return work.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Jets' Josh Reynolds: Clear favorite for No. 2 WR role

    Reynolds is "the clear-cut leader" to be the Jets' No. 2 wide receiver, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

    Reports from June minicamp marked Reynolds as the early leader, ahead of Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Malachi Corley and others. Reynolds apparently has reinforced that notion in the early days of training camp, regularly making plays with the first-team offense. He's 30 years old and has never topped 618 receiving yards in a season, but Reynolds does have 55 NFL starts to his name.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Sliding down depth chart?

    Lazard has "fallen back in the receiver pecking order," according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

    Lazard agreed to a pay cut this offseason, slashing his base salary from $11 million to $2.5 million after mostly disappointing through the first two seasons of a three-year contract. The No. 2 WR spot in New York is up for grabs, but it sounds like Josh Reynolds has moved ahead of Lazard and others as the favorite. Lazard could perhaps still make a move for the role, but he's also a candidate to be released if he doesn't perform well this summer.
