Cowing pulled his hamstring Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

He was the subject of glowing reports during the offseason program, only to get injured during the first practice of training camp. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Cowing got just five touches on 106 offensive snaps last season, with his main role being on punt returns (28 for 245 yards). This could've been a good chance to get some reps with Brock Purdy, as the 49ers don't have Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) available for the start of camp.

GM Nick Caserio acknowledged Wednesday that there's no timetable for the return of Dell (knee), who is on the active/PUP list, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Houston Chronicle reports.

While Caserio hasn't completely ruled out the possibility that Dell could return at some point this season, it's clear that the wideout -- who suffered a significant knee injury last December -- still has a way to go in his recovery process. With that in mind, Caserio noted that Dell is "in the building every day. He's working really hard, but we're not going to put a timetable on anything," a notion echoed by coach DeMeco Ryans, who added that the 2023 third-rounder is "crushing the rehab." With Dell likely to miss a good portion of the coming season, the Texans' top healthy veteran wide receivers are Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, with 2025 draftees Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel also in the mix to carve out steady roles in the team's passing attack.

Boutte, Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas opened training camp Wednesday as New England's first-team wide receivers, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Diggs is locked in for one starting job -- assuming his return from an ACL tear continues to go swimmingly -- and Douglas figures to be the slot man again. That leaves Boutte to compete with rookie third-round Kyle Williams and others for one starting job, with Boutte hoping to build on his strong finish to 2024. He had 240 yards and two TDs over the final three weeks of last season, after recording 336 yards and one TD across 10 previous starts. Bourne has a chance to defend his starting job, but there's also risk of dropping off the roster if he struggles this summer, as Diggs, Douglas and Williams are locks to make it, leaving only two or three spots up for grabs between Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins (undisclosed), Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder), Javon Baker, Efton Chism and others.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that Watson (knee) is "a freak" and "pressing to get out there" but still won't be rushed into practices this summer, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Watson suffered his ACL tear in Week 18 last season, giving him almost exactly nine months between the date of the injury and Week 1 of 2025. He's starting training camp on the PUP list, with Gutekunst's comments Wednesday suggesting Watson might remain out of practice for a while. Week 1 may still be a big ask, but it at least sounds like Watson is on schedule (or ahead of it) in his rehab process, with a chance to contribute in the first half of the season. The Packers open training camp with Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are their top wide receivers.

Jennings participated in individual drills at the start of Wednesday's practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Unlike position mate Brandon Aiyuk a season ago, Jennings isn't "holding in" (i.e. present but not practicing), despite recent reports that he is seeking a new contract. With Aiyuk out for the foreseeable future due to his recovery from a torn ACL and Deebo Samuel getting traded to the Commanders this offseason, Jennings is set to open the upcoming season as the 49ers' top option at wide receiver, but he currently is playing out the second season of the two-year, $15.4 million contract that he signed in May 2024. Jennings is coming off a 77-975-6 campaign on 113 targets across 15 regular-season contests, so an amended deal could be in his future.

Diggs (knee) had the first catch of training camp from QB Drake Maye on Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

It remains to be seen if Diggs will have limitations once the Patriots ramp up the intensity of practices and do contact work. For now, he seems to be ahead of the typical timeline for his injury, avoiding the PUP list at the start of training camp less than nine months after suffering an ACL tear. Diggs' participation in the first camp practice puts him on track to play Week 1 for his new team.

As training camp gets underway, Jeudy profiles as the Browns' clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Jeudy is coming off a breakout campaign in 2024, during which he earned his first selection as a Pro Bowler while recording 90 catches (on 145 targets) for 1,229 yards and four TDs in 17 regular-season outings. In his second season with Cleveland, the 2020 first-rounder is entrenched as the top wideout, but slotting behind Jeudy has yet to be determined, with Cedric Tillman and Diontae Johnson currently the top candidates emerge as the team's WR2. Additionally, it remains to be seen who Jeudy will be catching passes from come Week 1, given that the Browns' starting QB job is up for grabs. For now, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are the healthy signal-callers in the running for the assignment.

Burden (undisclosed) didn't participate Wednesday in the first practice of training camp, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

The 39th overall pick avoided Chicago's pre-camp injury lists, suggesting he's expected to practice sooner than later. Burden missed OTA practices and June minicamp after suffering an unspecified soft-tissue injury in May. It's an unhappy start to his pro career, but he still has time to lock down the No. 3 WR job before Week 1, as he'll be competing with Olamide Zaccheaus (and maybe Devin Duvernay or Tyler Scott).

Martin and the Commanders agreed to terms on a contract Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

After suiting up in one game last year with Tennessee, Martin was waived with an undisclosed injury settlement and will now get a chance to prove himself on the Commanders. The 27-year-old caught his first career pass last season for a 49-yard touchdown. He'll face an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster given Washington already has a relatively set wide receiver corps.

Brown (undisclosed) avoided the PUP list for the start of training camp but may not be a full participant early on, according to independent NFL writer Ben Standig.

Brown was carted off the field June 11 at a minicamp practice. He was scheduled for an MRI, but the Commanders went on summer break right after and never provided any update on the nature or extent of Brown's injury. It sounds like he's on track for Week 1, with time to make his case this summer for the No. 3 WR role behind Terry McLaurin (who is holding out for a new contract) and Deebo Samuel.
