Moore (neck) suited up for Monday's training camp practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Moore sustained a neck injury during Wednesday's joint practice against the Patriots, which prevented him from playing in Saturday's preseason contest against New England. His return to on-field action Monday is a positive sign in his recovery and puts the 2021 second-rounder on track to play against the Bengals in Friday's preseason finale. Moore is competing against Darius Cooper, Britain Covey (hamstring) and Quez Watkins for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster for the regular season.

Mims (undisclosed) practiced Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Mims didn't play in Friday's preseason game against the Packers, but he was on the field Monday, with Stevens' report accompanied by a clip of the wideout making a nice catch during the session. The Broncos' unofficial depth chart lists Mims as a first-teamer along with top WRs Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, but in reality as Week 1 approaches, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant also are firmly in the mix for snaps/targets that don't go to Sutton and Waddle.

Thornton (undisclosed) didn't practice Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Per Levi Damien of USA Today, Thornton has been missing from practice for the past of couple weeks and has yet to play this preseason. When he's able to return,Thornton will look to reestablish his slotting in a Raiders WR corps that also includes Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech and Malik Benson.

Nabers (knee) wasn't wearing a non-contact red jersey at Monday's practice, Perry Sook of WPIX reports.

Nabers has been taking part in team drills for a little more than one week, but he was wearing the red jersey until Monday's development. This doesn't mean he's been cleared for all activity, but he now is closing in on the final stages of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee Week 4 of last season. All signs are pointing toward Nabers being available Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Cowboys.

The Raiders released Brown on Monday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Brown had been competing for a depth role in the Raiders' WR corps but now will look to do so elsewhere. In four games with the Commanders during the 2025 regular season, Brown notched just five catches (on 10 targets) for 83 yards, but the season before that the 30-year-old logged 35 catches in 11 games with Washington. In the right situation, Brown can help a team in need of wideout help, but unless he secures a steady role in that context, he'll be off the fantasy radar.

The Patriots traded Boutte to the Texans for safety Jaylen Reed and a draft pick Monday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

With the additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs to New England's receiving corps this offseason, a player like Boutte may have felt the roster crunch with cut-down day less than one week away. Now with Houston, Boutte joins a position group that has lost Jayden Higgins for the season due to a torn ACL and also includes the banged-up Jaylin Noel (hamstring) and Tank Dell (knee). As a result, Boutte has a chance to make an impact early on this season.

Wicks stood out with his route running during the Eagles' joint practices with the Patriots last Wednesday and Thursday, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports.

Though he was generally impressive in both practices, Wicks turned in one highlight-reel-worthy rep during Thursday's session, when he easily shook 1-on-1 coverage from New England cornerback Carlton Davis at the line of scrimmage for what would have been a big gain, per Henry McKenna of FoxSports.com. Acquired from the Packers in April and immediately signed to a one-year, $12.5 million extension, Wicks has been repping with the first-team offense for most of his first camp with the Eagles while No. 1 wideout DeVonta Smith and rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon have been slowed by hamstring injuries. Both Smith and Lemon are practicing again, but the time Lemon has missed along with his own strong performance could set the stage for Wicks to head into the regular season as the Eagles' No. 2 wideout.

Nacua (groin) isn't practicing Monday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Nacua now is ticking toward two weeks off the practice field due to soreness in his psoas, but he was able to work with a member of the Rams' training staff on a side field Monday, indicating he's making some progress. In the end, the team likely is being as cautious as possible with Nacua with a Week 1 matchup with the 49ers in mind.

Lemon (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice, EJ Smith of The PHLY Sports reports.

The rookie has been hampered by a hamstring issue for much of camp but is starting to get on track as the season approaches. Lemon practiced in a limited fashion last week and has upgraded to full participation as of Monday. The rookie still has to play catch-up a bit with the lost time during camp, but a fully healthy remainder of the offseason will put Lemon in a good spot come Week 1.

Smith (hamstring) is a full participant in Monday's practice, EJ Smith of PHLY Sports reports.

The Eagles got some good news in their receiving corps with both Smith and Makai Lemon (hamstring) full go for Monday's session. Smith returned in a limited capacity last week and is now ramping up further as the season approaches.
