Coach Andy Reid noted after Tuesday's practice that he believes Brown will be fine after suffering an ankle injury during the session, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

That said, Rapoport added that Brown figures to undergo testing to confirm the notion that his ankle issue isn't anything major, but for now we'll continue to view the wideout as day-to-day. The same applies to fellow WR Xavier Worthy, who banged his head prior to exiting Tuesday's practice.

The Giants do not believe the shoulder injury that caused Nabers to leave the practice field under his own power early Tuesday to be serious, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Nabers fell on his left shoulder while working as a blocker during a running play in team drills Tuesday, and he left the field with team head trainer Ronnie Barnes under his own power, but the decision to not have him return to practice was reportedly only a precautionary measure. New York has a rest day Wednesday, so Nabers' next chance to retake the practice field will come Thursday. It wouldn't be surprising to see New York take a cautious approach to the star wideout's recovery, and absences at such an early stage of training camp shouldn't be overblown. However, Nabers could use all the reps available as he works to build chemistry with a trio of new quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart.

Minkins (undisclosed) was activated off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Paul Perillo of Patriots.com reports.

Minkins returned to practice Monday after being sidelined with an undisclosed injury for the start of training camp. The 23-year-old signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent and will have an uphill battle to secure a spot on the 53-man roster.

Brown suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

After appearing to sustain a right lower leg injury during Tuesday's session, Brown headed back to the Chiefs' team facility in the front seat of a cart, with coach Andy Reid clarifying afterward that the wideout is dealing with an ankle issue, per Nate Taylor of ESPN.com. For now, consider Brown day-to-day as the team's Aug. 9 preseason opener against the Cardinals approaches.

Martin (hamstring) was activated off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Martin returned to practice Monday after being sidelined with a hamstring injury for the first week of camp. The 35-year-old signed a one-year contract with Carolina in March after spending the last three seasons in Buffalo. He is expected to be the Panthers' starting punter once the regular season starts.

Moss (neck), who remains on the active/non-football injury list, has been working on his conditioning on side fields during training camp, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

The report also notes that Moss, who last saw game action Oct. 27 of last year, subsequently learned at the start of November that his neck was broken in three places (on his C6 vertebrae), which resulted in the running back spending the next two months in a neck brace. Moss didn't need surgery to address the issue and instead allowed the injury to heal on its own. Though he was cleared from his neck injury in the spring, Dehner notes that conditioning has been a significant issue for the 27-year-old due to a lack of activity following his injury. While Moss remains away from practice, Samaje Perine, Tahj Brooks and Gary Brightwell are in contention for slotting behind top running back Chase Brown.

Chambliss (foot) was activated off the active/PUP list Monday.

After dealing with a foot injury during the first week of camp, Chambliss returned to practice Monday. The 22-year-old signed with Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in May after spending his entire college career at Georgia. He'll face an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Brown (hamstring) was activated off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown is ready to practice again after being sidelined with a hamstring injury last week. The 24-year-old had a career year with the Rams last season, playing 455 defensive snaps and registering 44 tackles and one defensed pass across 17 regular-season games.

Hummel (hand) was activated off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After being sidelined the first week of training camp, Hummel is ready to start practicing. The 26-year-old spent the first three years of his career with the Rams before signing with Baltimore in March. He has been a special-teams player throughout the majority of his career and will likely fill a similar role for the Ravens.

Pittman sustained a groin injury during Tuesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

For now, consider Pittman day-to-day as the Colts' Aug. 7 preseason opener against the Ravens approaches. When available, Pittman is on track to maintain a steady stream of passing targets in a Colts WR corps that also features Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.
