Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Declares himself fully healthy
Hill (wrist) said Tuesday that he's fully healthy heading into training camp, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Hill added that he's been working out hard this offseason and has something to prove coming off a disappointing 2024 season. He's reportedly trimmed down to 183 pounds, and he claims he hasn't lost any of his trademark speed. Hill is entering his age-31 season and is coming off a year in which he failed to reach 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2019, despite starting all 17 regular-season contests for the Dolphins. Having Tua Tagovailoa back healthy will certainly help, but Hill's yards per game dropped dramatically from 2023 (112.4) to 2024 (career-low 56.4). The plus is that there will be plenty of volume available in a concentrated Miami passing offense that lacks reliable targets beyond Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De'Von Achane and potentially Darren Waller.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Avoids PUP, NFI lists
Nabers (toe) didn't open training camp on the active/PUP or active/non-football injury list, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Nabers' workload was scaled back during the offseason program due to a toe injury that he dealt with in college and also during his stellar rookie campaign in 2024, when he tallied 109 catches (on 170 targets) for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 regular-season games. There's still a chance that he has some limitations during training camp, likely with the goal to have him as healthy as possible for Week 1. Nabers will be working with a completely new QB room during the upcoming campaign, including veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart.

Equanimeous St. Brown WR | SF
49ers' Equanimeous St. Brown: Latches on with San Francisco
The 49ers signed St. Brown on Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
St. Brown appeared in two regular-season games with the Saints last season but wasn't targeted on 35 offensive snaps. He hasn't seen any meaningful action since 2022 with the Bears. St. Brown will try to win one of the last spots on the roster this summer.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Officially on active/PUP list
The Buccaneers placed Godwin (ankle) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
On Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that Godwin wouldn't participate in team drills at the start of training camp, and he won't take part in any on-field work as he continues his recovery from the dislocated left ankle that he suffered Week 7 of last season. Coach Todd Bowles told Stroud in early June that the team was "hopeful" Godwin will be healthy by Week 1, which is six-and-a-half weeks from now (Sunday, Sept. 7 in Atlanta). Prior to the injury, Godwin had put together a sterling 50-576-5 line on 62 targets in seven contests, and he re-signed with Tampa Bay this offseason via a three-year, $66 million contract.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Not present for camp
McLaurin didn't report for Commanders training camp Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Washington required its veterans to report to Ashburn, Va. on Tuesday, but McLaurin was the only one not present for conditioning tests. He alluded to not being on the field during a media session after filming a commercial for a local car dealership last Tuesday due to his desire for a contract extension, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. McLaurin has an average annual value of $23.2 million on his current contract, which ranks 17th among NFL WRs. He's coming off a 2024 campaign in which he notched a career-high 13 touchdown catches in 17 regular-season games and also has strung together five straight seasons with 1,000-plus receiving yards.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Full participant to start camp
Olave (concussion) has no restrictions to begin training camp and will be a full participant, Erin Summers of the Saints' official website reports.
Olave participated in the offseason program, so this was expected entering camp. The wideout was able to play just eight regular-season games last season due to multiple concussions, and he's going to be catching passes from someone other than Derek Carr in 2025. The Saints are holding a three-man quarterback competition this summer, with the candidates being second-round rookie Tyler Shough, 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler and 2023 fourth-round pick Jake Haener.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Won't be on PUP list for long
Pearsall (hamstring) is expected to be cleared early in training camp after the 49ers placed him on the active/PUP list last Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
San Francisco held Pearsall out of the final stages of the offseason program due to a hamstring injury which has lingered into training camp. Despite being unable to practice when the team kicks things off Wednesday, the second-year pro shouldn't miss many camp reps. Pearsall and veteran Jauan Jennings will serve as the 49ers' top WR options for as long as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is sidelined, which is expected to be well into the upcoming campaign. Pearsall's NFL debut was delayed last year due to his recovery from a gunshot wound, but he found his footing down the stretch, accruing an 18-247-2 line on 22 targets over the final three regular-season contests.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Reports to camp, passes physical
Jennings (calf) reported to 49ers training camp and passed a physical Monday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Jennings missed some time during the offseason program due to a calf injury, but he's received a clean bill of health as the team kicks off camp. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported last week that Jennings was dissatisfied with his current contract and wanted a new one or a trade, but GM John Lynch said Monday that he "anticipates" the wide receiver will "be out there" at practice Wednesday, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. With Brandon Aiyuk continuing to rehab a right knee injury that he suffered last October and having no timeline for his return, Jennings is set to begin this season as the 49ers' No. 1 wideout after putting together a 77-975-6 line on 113 targets over 15 regular-season games in 2024.

Kelly Akharaiyi WR | ARI
Kelly Akharaiyi: Cut by Buffalo
The Bills waived Akharaiyi on Tuesday.
Akharaiyi signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State back in April. He posted a mediocre 25-391-2 receiving line as a senior.
