Robbie Chosen WR | WAS
49ers' Robbie Chosen: Signs with San Francisco
Chosen and the 49ers agreed on a one-year contract Sunday.
Chosen signed with the 49ers in August of 2024, ultimately being released before the beginning of the regular season. The wide receiver then joined the Dolphins, catching one of four targets for five yards while playing 28 offensive snaps over two contests with the team. Chosen will now get another shot to prove himself with San Francisco ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Kyle Philips WR | LV
Kyle Philips: Let go by Raiders
The Raiders waived Philips on Sunday.
Philips caught on with the Raiders in February after spending most of the 2024 season on the Eagles' practice squad, but the 2022 fifth-rounder will explore his next options assuming he clears waivers. Philips last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Titans, when he appeared in nine games and logged 15 catches (on 22 targets) for 181 yards.

Miles Boykin WR | CHI
Bears' Miles Boykin: Dealing with ankle injury
Boykin (ankle) was held out of practice Sunday with an ankle injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Boykin was unable to give it a go at practice Sunday, which places some doubt on his chances to play in the team's preseason opener Aug. 10 versus Miami. The wide receiver signed with the Bears in April after spending the majority of the 2024 campaign with the Seahawks' practice squad, failing to appear in a regular-season game for the first time since 2019.

Kawaan Baker WR | GB
Raiders' Kawaan Baker: Gets opportunity with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Baker to a contract Sunday.
Baker was not on an NFL roster for the entire 2024 season after being cut by the Patriots at the end of training camp. He'll get another opportunity with the Raiders, and while a spot on the 53-man roster is unlikely, a strong performance in training camp could lead to him sticking around on the practice squad. The 2021 seventh-rounder last saw regular-season action in his rookie campaign with the Saints, when he played 27 snaps on special teams across two games.

Ramel Keyton WR | TEN
Ramel Keyton: Let go by Tennessee
The Titans waived Keyton on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Keyton caught on with the Titans on July 26 to fortify depth at wide receiver after Treylon Burks broke his collarbone, but the former's services are no longer needed. Assuming he clears waivers, Keyton will explore his options and look to a join a team in need of a wideout who can also operate on special teams. He appeared in eight regular-season games for the Raiders in 2024, playing 105 snaps (41 on offense, 64 on special teams) while recording one catch (on three targets) for seven yards.

Montorie Foster Jr. WR | SEA
Seahawks' Montorie Foster: Absent from Saturday's practice
Foster (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Foster has been active in practice over the past two weeks after being reinstated from the active/non-football injury list July 16. It's unclear if this injury is the same one he was dealing with at the start of camp, but if he's unable to return to practice this week, he would be in jeopardy of missing Seattle's preseason opener against the Raiders on Thursday. Foster caught on with the Seahawks in mid-May as an undrafted free agent, and while a spot on the 53-man roster is a long shot, he is also competing for an opportunity to stick around on the practice squad.

Steven Sims WR | ARI
Seahawks' Steven Sims: Dealing with injury
Sims (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Sims, who signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks in March, is competing for a spot on the 53-man roster as a return specialist. It's unclear what type of injury he's working through, but he'll work on recovering in time for the Seahawks' preseason opener against the Raiders on Thursday. Sims played in nine regular-season games between the Ravens (two) and the Texans (seven) in 2024, and finished with 195 kick return yards and 99 punt return yards.

Ricky White III WR | SEA
Seahawks' Ricky White: Doesn't practice Saturday
White (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The type and severity of White's injury isn't clear, but he was held out of Saturday's practice and is in jeopardy of missing more in the coming week. The rookie seventh-rounder is competing for a depth spot on the Seahawks' 53-man roster, so participating in practice is crucial for him to make his case to survive cut-down day. White will aim to be available for Seattle's preseason opener against Las Vegas on Thursday.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Returns to practice
Walker (undisclosed) is practicing Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Walker was held out of practice Saturday with what was deemed a soft-tissue injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. That's great news for Walker, who has had a good camp so far and is pushing for Baltimore's No. 4 wideout role behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. While Walker is in uniform Sunday, he's working off to the side and not taking part in team drills, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so he may need another day or two to get back to full participation.

Calvin Austin III WR | NYG
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Deemed day-to-day
Austin (undisclosed) didn't practice Sunday and is considered day-to-day, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
It's not clear what Austin is dealing with or how long he will remain sidelined. The 26-year-old reportedly has a leg up in the competition for Pittsburgh's No. 2 receiver role behind DK Metcalf. Austin also is slated to serve as the Steelers' lead punt returner during the upcoming campaign.
