Black was waived by Detroit on Monday.

Black was expected to compete for a reserve role in Detroit's crowded wide-receiver room, but he was unable to stay on the roster before the opening preseason contest. The 28-year-old has only played one career regular-season game, which came with the Jets in 2021, and has largely bounced around various practice squads, including most recently with the Dolphins in 2025.

Coach Andy Reid noted Monday that Worthy, who is dealing with a sprained shoulder, needs "a day or two" before returning to practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Initial reports after Worthy left Saturday's training camp practice due to his shoulder injury were that the wideout had avoided a serious issue, and Reid's comment on the matter Monday supports that notion. For now, consider Worthy day-to-day as the Chiefs' Aug. 15 preseason opener approaches.

The Saints placed Polk on the reserve/retired list Sunday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Polk's NFL career has come to an end after just two seasons. The 24-year-old was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2024 Draft but caught just 12 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games during his rookie campaign. He was subsequently traded to the Saints last September but missed the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury.

Scott (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Scott was waived/injured by the Jets on Friday and went unclaimed. The wide receiver will now spend the season on the Jets' injured reserve list.

Manjack (back) could return to practice as early as Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Manjack missed Saturday's practice due to the issue, but it appears it is not severe. Once the wide receiver gets back on the practice field, he will need to make up for missed time in order to survive cutdown day. The addition of Jaylen Waddle made an already competitive room even moreso, and there are only so many spots on the 53-man roster.

Worthy is believed to avoided a serious shoulder injury that he sustained during the final session of Saturday's training camp practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It looks like Worthy's removal from Saturday's practice was precautionary, seeing as the third-year wideout underwent surgery in the offseason to repair a torn labrum that stemmed from a dislocated shoulder that he suffered during Week 1 of the 2025 season. Worthy will be closely monitored over the next several days but could be cleared to return to practice before the Chiefs' first preseason game against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15. Kansas City also got news regarding fifth-round rookie wideout Cyrus Allen, who is considered day-to-day due to a shin bruise that he suffered during a special-teams drill.

Allen was diagnosed with a shin bruise on his left leg that he suffered during Saturday's training camp practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It's a best-case scenario for the rookie fifth-rounder, who had to be carted off the field after sustaining the injury on a special teams drill. Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, the Chiefs consider Allen day-to-day, which puts the young wideout on track to be available for the team's preseason opener against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Stribling will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to hamstring tightness, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Stribling's absence Saturday is out of precaution, with the positive news being that he's dealing with tightness, rather than a strain. Still, it's yet another injury to the Niners' pass-catching corps, with Ricky Pearsall set to undergo season-ending surgery to repair the PCL in his right knee. Deebo Samuel was signed by San Francisco on Friday to solidify the team's depth at wideout in Pearsall's absence, but Stribling -- when healthy -- will have plenty of chances to earn a consistent role for himself in the offense alongside Samuel, Mike Evans and Christian Kirk (calf).

Worthy left Saturday's training camp practice due to a shoulder injury, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear whether Worthy's injury is to the same shoulder that he underwent offseason surgery for to repair a torn labrum. He'll continue to be evaluated by medical staff to determine the severity of the injury, but with both Worthy and Cyrus Allen (lower leg) leaving Saturday's practice early, there could be more offensive snaps on the table for the likes of Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee.

Allen is being evaluated for a left lower-leg injury that he sustained during Saturday's training camp practice, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

Allen picked up the injury when he collided with Kaiir Elam during a special teams drill in Saturday's practice, and the injury was severe enough for the former to be carted off the field. Allen has been diagnosed with a lower-leg injury, but its severity is still being evaluated by Chiefs medical staff. The rookie fifth-rounder had been one of the standout players during the early portions of training camp, but an extended absence would mean that Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee will all have the chance to earn more snaps on offense behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy (shoulder).
