Moore sat out Sunday's practice due to general leg soreness, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Moore, one of the Bills' bigger free-agency pickups this past offseason, will be competing for slotting once he's healthy. He appears most likely to land a spot with the team in the No. 3 or No. 4 spot, though second-year player Keon Coleman could be overtaken if Moore or fellow free-agent add Joshua Palmer has a strong preseason. Khalil Shakir is the team's clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver.

The Bills activated Shenault (lower leg) off the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Shenault is healthy again after having been sidelined for the start of training camp due to a lower leg strain. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as one of the team's primary kick returners during the upcoming campaign and could contribute as a depth receiver as well.

Ford-Wheaton suffered a torn Achilles during the Giants' practice Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

The leg injury that led to Ford-Wheaton being carted off the field has now been diagnosed as a torn Achilles. The 25-year-old will likely be forced to miss the entirety of upcoming season and will shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign.

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that he's hopeful Cowing (hamstring) will be back by the week of Aug. 11 for joint practices with the Raiders, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

This timeline likely indicates that Cowing will miss the 49ers' first preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 9 as he deals with a pulled hamstring, which he suffered during the first practice of training camp Wednesday. The 2024 fourth-round pick is coming off a rookie season in which he logged just five touches on offense over 15 regular-season appearances. Instead, his primary contributions came as a punt returner. San Francisco is dealing with a rash of injuries at wide receiver, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is still on the active/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL and Jauan Jennings also left practice Sunday with a calf injury. Once he gets back on the field in training camp, Cowing could have a chance to push for a bigger role ahead of Demarcus Robinson and Equanimeous St. Brown -- two veterans who the team added as free agents.

Williams (concussion) participated in Green Bay's practice Sunday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Williams had been sidelined after suffering a concussion during Friday's practice session but now is healthy again. The rookie third-round pick likely will spend the remainder of the summer competing with Dontayvion Wicks and/or Mecole Hardman to serve as the team's No. 4 receiver for the upcoming campaign.

Jennings left practice Sunday due to a calf injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings dealt with a minor calf injury during the offseason program, but he's been practicing since passing his physical to start training camp. It's unclear if the wideout now is dealing with a new injury or if he aggravated this previous calf issue. Jennings also has been practicing despite reports that he wants a new contract, and he doesn't appear to be in a hold-in scenario. It will be worth keeping an eye on his health as the 49ers approach their first preseason game versus the Broncos on Saturday, Aug. 9. San Francisco has been dealing with injuries around its wide-receiver room at the start training camp, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still is on the active/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL, while second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall was activated Sunday after starting on the active/ PUP list with a hamstring injury.

Ford-Wheaton suffered a leg injury during the Giants' practice Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Ford-Wheaton reportedly went down on a non-contact injury during an offensive drill and eventually had to be carted off the field. If the 2023 undrafted free agent ends up being forced to miss an extended period of time, the team could be without one of their top special-teams contributors for a portion of the regular season.

Shavers suffered an ankle injury and was carted off during practice Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Shavers' injury was described as a "low ankle sprain" and doesn't seem to be very serious, according to Getzenberg. The undrafted wideout (2024) from San Diego State appeared in the first three regular-season games of his career last year, catching a 69-yard touchdown pass on his lone target of the season in Week 17. He'll be competing for a spot on the practice squad when he gets healthy this training camp.

The 49ers activated Pearsall (hamstring) from the active/PUP list Sunday.

Pearsall started training camp on the active/PUP list while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, which had also kept him sidelined during mandatory minicamp. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan expressed that the team was being overly cautious by holding the wideout out of practice -- both in OTAs and minicamp. This caution carried over into the start of training camp, and Pearsall now is set to return to practice Sunday. The 2024 first-rounder was solid in his injury-shortened rookie season, catching 31 of 46 targets for 400 yards and three scores over 11 regular-season games. The 49ers' top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk (knee), is still on the active/PUP list as he recovers from a torn ACL, which likely leaves Jauan Jennings, Pearsall, and Demarcus Robinson to round out the starting wide receiver group Week 1. However, Jennings has expressed frustration as he seeks an extension, and Robinson could be suspended before the regular season due to a DUI charge. As a result, Pearsall could be in line for WR1 or WR2 reps to begin the 2025 campaign.

Hyatt (lower body) is practicing Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt was held out of practice Friday due to cramping/tightness in his lower body. Though he's participating in practice Sunday, he's slated to be eased back, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. It's an important training camp for Hyatt, as he's trying to cement his place as New York's fourth wideout.
