Tate (undisclosed) is in uniform for Sunday's preseason game against the Seahawks.

Tate took part in warmups before the start of Sunday's preseason game and is set to take part in the action, with Tennessee's starters expected to play most of the first half. The rookie fourth overall pick dealt with some stiffness earlier in the week but has gotten the green light to suit up for Tennessee's second preseason game. Tate will look to improve on last week's preseason debut against the 49ers, in which he failed to catch any of his three targets.

The Jets waived/injured Lacy (undisclosed) on Sunday.

The undrafted free agent out of Louisville will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will revert to the Jets' injured reserve list. If Lacy reverts to IR, he will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Giants coach John Harbaugh said Sunday that Nabers (knee) could be out of his red non-contact jersey at some point this week, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Harbaugh added that they will see how Nabers feels Monday and that it wasn't a necessity for him to shed the non-contact jersey this week since the regular-season opener is still three weeks away, per Barnes. The 23-year-old returned to team sessions last Monday, but he still sat out the joint practice with the Dolphins ahead of Saturday's 26-3 preseason win. Whether Nabers sheds the non-contact jersey will be a key checkpoint for his Week 1 readiness, but Harbaugh's comments suggest the Giants still are prioritizing his knee recovery timeline. New York will open its regular season versus the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Thompson (undisclosed) was on the field for Sunday's training camp practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Thompson was sporting a non-contact jersey during Sunday's session, but it's a positive sign after he was held out of Saturday's practice due to an unspecified injury. The rookie fourth-rounder is battling for a rotational spot in the Chargers' offense, and he'll look to make his case for regular playing time in Thursday's preseason finale against the Rams. Thompson has caught three passes on eight targets for 39 yards through two preseason games, adding one punt return for 12 yards.

The Chargers signed Jennings to a contract Sunday.

Jennings was a fourth-round selection of the Seahawks in the 2019 NFL Draft, but his lone appearance in a regular-season game came in his rookie campaign as a member of the Dolphins. The last time he was on an NFL roster was in 2023 with the Panthers in training camp, and he's been brought in by the Chargers to provide wide receiver depth due to injuries to Quentin Johnston (lower body), Tre' Harris (undisclosed) and Brenen Thompson (undisclosed). A strong performance in training camp practices over the coming week could be enough for Jennings to stay in Los Angeles as a member of the practice squad.

Stribling (shoulder) returned to practice Sunday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Stribling -- who was sporting a no-contact jersey during the session -- had been considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury after playing in San Francisco's 41-17 preseason win over the Chargers last Thursday. The second-round rookie has stood out with 11 catches (on 13 targets) for 109 yards across two exhibition games, and he should stand to make an immediate impact in the 49ers' banged-up receiving corps. Stribling's final chance to play this preseason will come Thursday versus the Raiders.

Washington (undisclosed) was spotted at Sunday's walkthrough, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

It remains to be seen what Washington's participation level will be, but the wideout was sporting a helmet ahead of the walkthrough portion of the no pads session. Washington had been viewed as day-to-day with an unspecified issue, with his return to the field Sunday, in any capacity, a good sign ahead of the Jaguars' Friday preseason finale against the Buccaneers. Even if Washington practices fully before then, there's still a decent chance he'll be held out of the contest along with other key starters.

Young brought in three of eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 27-9 preseason win over the Bears on Saturday.

The rookie fourth-round pick led the Bengals' pass catchers in receiving yards and targets on the night, and he made his first trip to the end zone as a pro via a 17-yard catch on a pass from Josh Johnson in the latter portion of the second quarter. Young now has a 5-76-1 line on 12 targets over his first two preseason games, making a solid case for the No. 4 receiver role to open the regular season.

Hurst failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 16-15 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.

The rookie wideout once again drew the start due to the plethora of injuries at the wide receiver position for the Buccaneers. However, unlike his two-catch pro debut against the Jets, Hurst was unable to crack the stat sheet Saturday. Assuming all of Emeka Egbuka (toe), Jalen McMillan (knee) and Tez Johnson (groin) are available for a Week 1 road matchup against the Bengals, Hurst won't be guaranteed active status on gameday; however, any absences on the part of the trio would change the equation.

Walker recorded two catches on three targets for 32 yards during the Ravens' 13-3 preseason win over the Vikings on Saturday.

Walker's second catch of the game went for 27 yards in the third quarter and was part of the Ravens' nine-play, 63-yard drive that ended in an eight-yard touchdown pass from Joe Fagnano to LaJohntay Wester. Walker has logged five catches on six targets for 63 yards through two preseason games, and the 2024 fourth-rounder is competing against rookies Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt for the WR3 role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. The Ravens will wrap up the preseason Friday against the Commanders.
