Legette (ankle) will remain in a walking boot on his foot until Thursday, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Legette sustained an ankle injury during Wednesday's joint practice with the Jaguars, and given that he'll be in a walking boot until Thursday, he'll presumably sit out Friday's preseason finale against the Texans. When available, the 2024 first-rounder has an opportunity to claim a portion of the Panthers' WR targets that don't go to Tetairoa McMillan or Jalen Coker, a context that may not yield steady volume as long as both McMillan and Coker are available.

Pittman (right ankle) was in pads and going through stretching during Monday's practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

After missing practice time since Aug. 8, Pittman at least was back on the field for the early portion of Monday's session. Pittman joins DK Metcalf (undisclosed) among notable Steelers to return to the practice field Monday after missing some time. The development offers a positive step for the Steelers' big offseason acquisition, though it doesn't confirm that he has resumed full practice work. Still, Pittman has time to get back to full-go before the season kicks off Sunday, Sept. 13 versus the Falcons.

Metcalf (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday after having been sidelined since Aug. 8, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Monday was a notable day for the Steelers with both Metcalf and Michael Pittman (ankle) getting back on the field. Metcalf appears to have put his multi-week absence behind him and will have time to ramp back up before the season starts Sunday, Sept.13 against the Falcons.

Iosivas is listed as the No.3 receiver on the Bengals' depth chart.

The Princeton product enters his fourth season looking to rebound from a down 2025 in which he fell short of the breakout season that saw him record six touchdowns in 2024. The Bengals have a heavily concentrated target tree centered on Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, which has limited Iosivas' week-to-week usage. He has performed poorly on targets per route run in each of the last two years, coming in under 12 percent in each campaign. Iosivas could have added competition for snaps this year, considering rookie Colbie Young's impressive showing in the preseason thus far. As it stands, Iosivas may be on the field a fair amount, but his involvement in the passing game could be limited again.

Raymond has made a strong impression in his first five months with Chicago, with Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic relaying coach Ben Johnson's praise Monday and calling him "the most selfless player I've ever been around."

With Raymond joining the Bears on a one-year deal earlier in the offseason, Johnson's comments highlight the veteran wide receiver's standing in the building with Week 1 approaching. The praise suggests Raymond is making a positive case for a supporting receiver role and special-teams work.

Miller was waived by the Giants on Monday. Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Miller was brought in this spring before the 2026 Draft and had been working to earn a roster spot. However, with final cutdowns looming, the Giants have opted to go in a different direction and Miller is now subject to waivers.

Bell (knee) is expected to be a full participant in Monday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After being activated from the active/non-football injury list last Monday, Bell was a limited participant in his first handful of practices with Miami. With his surgically repaired left knee apparently responding well, Bell now will ditch his red no-contact jersey in what marks the final box he'll need to check before being cleared for game action. The Dolphins still could elect to hold out Bell for their preseason finale Friday versus the Falcons, but the rookie third-round pick looks to be trending toward suiting up Week 1 versus the Raiders.

Boston went without a target while playing 11 snaps on offense Saturday in the Browns' 31-7 preseason loss to the Bills.

After drawing two targets in the Browns' preseason opener a week earlier against the Bears and connecting with Deshaun Watson on a nifty 15-yard catch and run, Boston was held quiet in his limited snaps during the second exhibition game. Notably, Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion were both rested Saturday while Boston played, which suggests that the rookie second-round pick out of Washington currently sits no higher than third on the depth chart.

Henderson caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans. He also returned two kickoffs for 47 yards and notched two solo tackles on special teams.

Henderson was drafted in the sixth round primarily with special teams in mind, and the rookie out of Kansas showcased his versatile skill set in that phase of the game during Week 2 of the preseason. His special-teams ability has Henderson in good position to make the 53-man roster, but he isn't expected to contribute much on offense early on.

Tate didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 19-16 preseason win over the Seahawks.

Tate now has gone without a catch on five targets through two preseason games. It's too early to press the panic button for the rookie No. 4 overall pick, though it would have been nice for Tate to show some rapport with 2025 first overall pick Cam Ward. Tennessee's starters were outscored 16-3 in the first quarter by Seattle's backups, so Tate is far from the only Titans player underperforming this preseason. On the bright side, Tate showed that he's healthy Sunday after battling some stiffness in practice leading up to the game.
