Doubs (concussion) is participating in OTAs on Wednesday and was spotted getting in extra work with passing game coordinator Jason Vrabel during the special-teams period, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Doubs, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, has gained full clearance to participate in OTAs after he sustained a concussion during Green Bay's wild-card round loss to the Eagles in January. Jayden Reed (shoulder) and newcomer Mecole Hardman (knee) are also practicing Wednesday. Rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden and third-rounder Savion Williams represent additional notable additions to the Packers' wide receiver corps, which also returns Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson (ACL) in what looks like one of the league's most crowded units, though Watson's recovery could realistically sideline him until mid-season. Reed appears destined to dominate slot reps, and general manager Brian Gutekunst has talked him up as Green Bay's top wideout, while Golden's draft capital and playmaking ability give the team every incentive to find him a starting role. Doubs has proven himself as a jack-of-all-trades and a capable starter, but he's now entering a contract year facing tough competition for targets and snaps.

Jones (groin) participated during OTAs on Tuesday, Ryan Meyer of the Bengals' official site reports.

Jones missed Cincinnati's last regular-season game of the 2024 campaign due to a groin issue, but he seems to be back to full strength with offseason workouts underway. He was involved more as a returner last season than on offense, something that doesn't figure to change much in 2025 as long as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain available.

Reed (shoulder) is participating in on-field positional drills at OTAs on Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Reed appears back to full health after having suffered a dislocated shoulder during Green Bay's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles in January, an injury for which he didn't require surgery. The third-year pro has prioritized bulking up early in the offseason, with passing-game coordinator Jason Vrable saying in mid-May that Reed is currently 199 pounds after playing at 187 pounds in 2024. The Packers' selection of Matthew Golden in the first round of April's draft, plus Savion Williams in the third round, provides Jordan Love and the passing game the requisite tools to grow more dynamic in 2025, a development that could prove positive for Reed in Year 3 even if he faces increased target competition. Romeo Doubs (concussion) and newcomer Mecole Hardman (knee) are also practicing Wednesday.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Hill (wrist) is not ready to take part in catching drills at OTAs, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Hill has undergone two surgeries on his left wrist this offseason, and he said after Wednesday's practice that both wrists have bothered him, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, but the right side has been most bothersome and required a protective brace. Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports that the 31-year-old wideout is participating in most drills other than catching and blocking, while McDaniel has previously stated that the Dolphins are expecting Hill to return to full strength closer to training camp in July. Injuries and an offense focused more on short-area throws to De'Von Achane and Jonnu Smith than downfield looks resulted in both Hill and Jaylen Waddle significantly regressing in 2024, sending both tumbling down 2025 fantasy draft boards. As long as Hill continues to not infrequently fall outside the top-12 drafted wide receivers he will carry undeniable fantasy upside, though there's serious risk that even with his wrist at full health he never again approaches production similar to the back-to-back 1,700-yard seasons he logged with Miami in 2022 and 2023.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Nabers (toe) did not participate in OTAs on Wednesday due to an injury that dates back to college, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Daboll specified that Nabers did not have any sort of offseason procedure and simply needs rest due to a toe issue he dealt with both in college and his rookie season, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The team will take it slow with the 2024 first-rounder, prioritizing his readiness for training camp. After compiling a 109-1,204-7 receiving line on a whopping 170 targets across his 15-game rookie season, Nabers' elite potential makes him a lock to be one of the first wideouts selected off the board in 2025 fantasy drafts. The fact that any or all of current starting favorite Russell Wilson, rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart and veteran backup Jameis Winston could all see time under center for New York this season throws something of a wrench into the mix, but even a quarterback carrousel would represent an upgrade over Nabers' situation last year.

Lemonious-Craig signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent Tuesday, Jack Carlough of Sports Illustrated reports.

Lemonious-Craig amassed 466 yards and four touchdowns on 35 receptions across his two college seasons at Arizona. As the Steelers currently lack proven talent at wide receiver behind DK Metcalf, Lemonious-Craig could earn a spot on the final roster should he impress during the remainder of the offseason.

Mooney (shoulder) was an active participant on the first day of the Falcons' OTAs on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of Atlanta's official team site reports.

Mooney is coming off a 2024 campaign with Atlanta in which he caught 64 of 106 targets for 992 yards and five touchdowns over 16 contests. The wide receiver missed the team's regular-season finale with a shoulder injury, but he appears to be fully healthy ahead of 2025. Mooney likely will operate as the Falcons' No. 2 option at wide receiver behind Drake London this season as Michael Penix takes the reins at quarterback.

Reagor (finger) has been an active participant at the Chargers' OTAs, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Reagor was re-signed by Los Angeles in the offseason after spending the majority of the 2024 campaign with the team. The wide receiver ended the season on injured reserve with a finger injury, which sidelined him for the final four regular-season contests and the team's only playoff game. Reagor appears to be fully healthy, and he'll look to carve out a role on offense and as a return specialist.

Coker was spotted working off to the side of Panthers' practice Tuesday due to a soft-tissue injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The severity of Coker's injury is currently unknown, but it's a positive sign that he didn't need to sit out of practice entirely. The second-year wideout from Holy Cross is expected to compete for snaps in a crowded Panthers wide receiver corps headlined by 2025 first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen. However, Coker may fall behind the competition for a depth role if he's unable to return to the field soon.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Tuesday that Legette (foot) has looked "big and fast" this offseason, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.

The 2024 first-round pick from South Carolina underwent offseason foot surgery, but he appears to be fully recovered. Legette showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie campaign, recording 44 receptions for 497 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games. However, he struggled with his focus at times, dropping eight passes. With 2025 first-round wideout Tetairoa McMillan drawing attention across from him, Legette could have more opportunities to showcase his big-play ability.
