Williams has had an up and down training camp thus far, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Graff notes that while Williams has been part of some of the biggest plays in camp, including a 40-yard TD from QB Drake Maye on a go route earlier this week, the wideout has also logged more drops than any other Patriots receiver. Nevertheless, if the 2025 third-rounder can curb the drops as the summer continues, Graff believes that Williams could push for the team's No. 3 WR role. However, for now he's competing with Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk for slotting behind Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas.

Taylor (ribs) logged 29 defensive snaps and recorded three tackles (two solo) in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game versus Detroit.

Taylor's 2024 season was cut short due to a ribs injury suffered in Week 18, but he's healthy now and competing for a starting job in the Chargers' revamped secondary.

Mosby (groin) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Mosby saw action in 16 regular-season games last season with Green Bay, finishing with 12 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and two pass breakups on 150 defensive snaps and another 241 on special teams.

Hadden (hip) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Hadden was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chiefs but didn't make the team out of training camp and signed with the Packers' practice squad, where he spent much of his rookie season. Hadden saw action in two regular-season contests but didn't record a tackle on seven special-teams snaps.

Reed (toe) is participating in full-team drills Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It sounds like there was a miscommunication, as Reed made a spectacular catch in 11-on-11s just minutes after he was announced as a non-participant. In any case, this confirms that the toe injury he suffered Thursday is nothing serious.

Glover (shoulder) did not practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Glover was a sixth-round pick out of Georgia State in the 2024 Draft, and he went on to appear in seven regular-season games as a rookie. Glover played just 13 offensive snaps and another 36 on special teams. He projects to serve as interior offensive line depth should he make the 53-man roster.

Walker (groin) did not practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The nature of Walker's groin issue isn't clear, but consider him day-to-day for now. Walker started all 17 regular-season games last season, playing all but one of his offensive snaps at left tackle. Walker will man Jordan Love's blind side this season.

Hobbs (knee) did not practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Hobbs should be considered day-to-day for now. After spending the first four years of his career with the Raiders, Hobbs signed a four-year, $48 million deal with Green Bay back in March. He's expected to cover the slot for the Packers.

White's teammate Maxwell Hairston is expected to be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after being diagnosed with an LCL sprain in his right knee, meaning White could take on a more prominent role as the regular season draws near, Alec White and Kay Racine report.

Hairston was the team's first-round pick back in April, and the plan seemed to be to have him start right away, with White -- who was a first-rounder himself in 2017 -- set to serve as a mentor and steady backup presence. That plan may change now if Hairston can't get enough reps in before the Week 1 opener vs. the Ravens. If White does see a starter's snap count early on in the season, he could be a good source of tackles given that he'd be playing opposite the team's top corner in Christian Benford. Dane Jackson is also in the mix for more potential action.

Coach Andy Reid revealed Friday that Worthy, who had been in the NFL's concussion protocol, actually didn't sustain a concussion upon further evaluation Thursday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Worthy had exited Tuesday's practice after banging his head, but after it was determined that he was not concussed, the wideout was able to return to practice Friday. Meanwhile, fellow WRs Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring) remain sidelined, per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site.
