Shavers is expected to miss only a few days after injuring his ankle Sunday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Though the wide receiver had to be carted off the field, his injury did not appear to be serious even shortly after it happened, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. Shavers spent the 2024 campaign on the Bills' practice squad and earned a reserve/future contract in January. He was elevated for three games last year, seeing 32 offensive snaps and 10 special-teams snaps.

Campbell suffered an MCL sprain in his knee during Dallas' practice Saturday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The wide receiver left the session early and had to be helped off the field, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. A day later, though, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Campbell didn't suffer a serious injury and would only miss a few days. The 2019 second-round pick of the Colts is trying to secure a spot with a new team after spending 2024 with the Eagles and 2023 with the Giants.

The Giants placed Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) on injured reserve Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Ford-Wheaton will miss the entire 2025 season after tearing his Achilles during Sunday's practice, and he'll focus on being fully healthy for the 2026 campaign. He played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and mostly served on special teams, so his absence gives players like Zach Pascal and Ihmir Smith-Marsette a better shot at making the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

The 49ers waived Cephus on Monday.

Cephus signed with the 49ers on Thursday to give the team wide receiver depth in the wake of Jacob Cowing's hamstring injury. However, the Niners needed to make space on the training camp roster after signing corner Eli Apple, which led to Cephus being cut. Cephus will likely clear waivers, at which time he'll look to join a team in need of a depth receiver.

Rees-Zammit has been sidelined for multiple training camp practices due to a lower-back injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

It's not clear when Rees-Zammit sustained the injury. It comes at a bad time for the former Welsh rugby player as he looks to earn a spot on the Jaguars' 53-man roster. Rees-Zammit will aim to be at full health for Jacksonville's preseason opener against Pittsburgh on Aug. 9.

Gray did not practice Monday due to a finger injury, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Gray likely picked up the injury after colliding with Andrew Mukuba during team drills Saturday. The injury comes at an inopportune time for Gray, who is battling for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster after spending the entire 2024 campaign on the practice squad. The 2022 third-round pick will focus on getting healthy ahead of the Eagles' preseason opener against the Bengals on Aug. 7.

Prather (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

The rookie seventh-rounder is competing for a spot on the Bills' 53-man roster, but he will be limited to sideline work while nursing a hamstring injury. With Prather, Elijah Moore (leg) and Curtis Samuel (hamstring) all sidelined, players like Laviska Shenault, Jalen Virgil and KJ Hamler will see an uptick in practice reps.

The Bills signed Cain to a contract Monday.

Cain spent the 2024 season on the Panthers' and Bills' practice squads before being let go by Buffalo in early December. He's back with the Bills, and while he's unlikely to make the 53-man roster, he will have a shot to make the practice squad at the conclusion of training camp. Cain last saw NFL regular-season action in 2020 as a member of the Steelers, when he appeared in two regular-season games and played 10 snaps on offense; however, he's consistently contributed as a member of the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL and UFL the last three springs, compiling 78 receptions for 1,132 yards and 11 touchdowns across 27 regular-season games in that span.

Egbuka has looked like a polished veteran in several aspects of his game during the early portion of training camp, in no small part due to his perfectionist mindset, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The rookie first-round pick has had praise heaped on him by coaches and teammates for his precision on routes and high football IQ since he first took the field this offseason, and those traits are the byproduct of Egbuka's approach to the game since he began playing it. The Ohio State product noted Monday he's never needed additional external motivation because of the high standards he already sets for himself, and Dix reports that's already helped Egbuka stand out in his nuanced route running, timing, control at the catch point and quickness as he comes in and out of breaks.

The Titans waived Burks (collarbone) with an injury designation Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Burks suffered a broken collarbone in practice last week, and he'll now head to waivers after the Titans signed fellow WR Ramel Keyton in a corresponding move. If Burks clears waivers, he'll be placed on injured reserve, where he could then be cut with an injury settlement at a later date. Since being taken with the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Burks has amassed a career receiving line of 53-699-1 on 92 targets across 27 regular-season contests. He's been neither healthy nor productive in Tennessee.
