Mundt (upper body) was a limited participant at the Jaguars' practice Sunday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Mundt had been sidelined with an undisclosed upper-body injury for a series of practices. The tight end's return to practice opens the door for him to potentially play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers.

Wright was waived by the Browns on Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Wright signed with Cleveland on July 25 after not being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he may now be looking for another opportunity elsewhere. The wide receiver will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, it's certainly possible he returns to the Browns as a member of their practice squad.

Callaway was released by the 49ers on Sunday.

Callaway signed a one-year deal with San Francisco on July 31, but he'll now return to free agency. The wide receiver hasn't played in any meaningful action since he played in 14 games with the Saints in 2022, and wherever he ends up, he'll likely be competing for a spot as a special-teams option in 2025.

Chosen and the 49ers agreed on a one-year contract Sunday.

Chosen signed with the 49ers in August of 2024, ultimately being released before the beginning of the regular season. The wide receiver then joined the Dolphins, catching one of four targets for five yards while playing 28 offensive snaps over two contests with the team. Chosen will now get another shot to prove himself with San Francisco ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Highsmith (groin) suffered a groin injury at the Steelers' practice Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Highsmith hobbled off the field early, and the severity of the groin injury has yet to be determined. The linebacker was already unlikely to play many snaps in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars, so the team won't feel any pressure to rush him back.

Sanders (foot) underwent successful foot surgery earlier this week, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sanders suffered a torn ligament in his foot July 26, and he's now expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks while recovering from surgery. Once healthy, the 23-year-old is expected to compete for snaps behind Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw at inside linebacker.

The Raiders waived Philips on Sunday.

Philips caught on with the Raiders in February after spending most of the 2024 season on the Eagles' practice squad, but the 2022 fifth-rounder will explore his next options assuming he clears waivers. Philips last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Titans, when he appeared in nine games and logged 15 catches (on 22 targets) for 181 yards.

Hairston was waived by the Browns on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hairston will now be available to be claimed by the rest of the league, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely remain in Cleveland. The fullback was rumored to be in line to serve as the Browns' starting fullback in 2025, if the team carried one, but that plan may have dissolved.

Murray (groin) was held out of practice with a groin injury Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Murray appears to have suffered a groin injury at practice during the week, and he may now be at risk of missing the Bears' preseason opener Aug. 10 versus the Dolphins. The tight end will look to return to the practice field ahead of the contest, but if he can't make it, he'll shift his focus to Aug. 17 against Buffalo.

Boykin (ankle) was held out of practice Sunday with an ankle injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Boykin was unable to give it a go at practice Sunday, which places some doubt on his chances to play in the team's preseason opener Aug. 10 versus Miami. The wide receiver signed with the Bears in April after spending the majority of the 2024 campaign with the Seahawks' practice squad, failing to appear in a regular-season game for the first time since 2019.
