Waddle, who left this past Wednesday's practice with muscle tightness, didn't practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

That's not surprising given that coach Sean Payton said Thursday of Waddle that he thought the wideout would be back in "the next 4-to-5 days," per Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site. With that in mind, consider Waddle day-to-day ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons.

Mims (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

After leaving Friday's practice with an apparent injury, Mims didn't work Saturday, but the wideout is back in pads Monday and will continue to vie for slotting in a WR corps led by Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed). Mims' primary competition this season for snaps/targets that don't go to the top duo are Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant.

Cooper (foot) took part in Monday's practice, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Cooper was held out of Sunday's session with a foot issue, but he was back out there a day later. As such, consider him back in the mix moving forward.

Williams, per head coach Matt LaFleur, "had a good day" at Sunday's practice session, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site.

Williams saw added opportunities with both Jayden Reed (ankle) and Matthew Golden (toe) sitting out, and he capitalized by hauling in nearly every pass thrown his direction. Williams didn't do a lot in his 2025 rookie season and remains behind both receivers already mentioned as well as Christian Watson in the pecking order, but he is the favorite to head into Week 1 with the fourth spot on the depth chart.

Mays sustained a wrist injury during Sunday's practice and will miss "a significant period," Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

It's unclear exactly how long Mays will be sidelined, but his recovery timeline will extend into the regular season. As such, the Lions will be down their top center -- who signed a three-year, $25 million contract with the club in March -- when the games that count get underway.

Pittman (leg) wasn't spotted at Monday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Per Saunders, Pittman left Saturday's practice with some sort of right leg injury. Meanwhile, with DK Metcalf also not spotted at the session, possibly for a rest day, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com relays that Germie Bernard is in line for added practice reps Monday.

The Raiders returned to their usual QB rotation during Monday's practice, with Cousins working with the first-team offense and Fernando Mendoza with the second unit, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Per McFadden, Cousins didn't participate in the team period of Saturday's session due to his scuffle with teammate Maxx Crosby during Friday's practice, according to McFadden. Following an off day Sunday, things appear back to normal at practice for the team's top signal-callers, and as the regular season approaches Cousins continues to trend toward drawing the start over Mendoza in Week 1.

Daniels, per wide receiver Jaylin Lane, has been "elite" in training camp, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington.

The wideout clearly has reason to throw praise at his quarterback, but at the same time it's better than the alternative. The situation has changed for Daniels with Stefon Diggs now in the mix and Laremy Tunsil (triceps) facing an extended absence, but Daniels now has another intriguing target to work with, and since the start of training camp he hasn't had any issues with the elbow injury that cut short his 2025 campaign.

Dell (knee) participated in "full-team drills" Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dell practiced in pads last week for the first time since injuring his knee, and after initially being limited to individual drills he has advanced to team work. His status for Week 1 remains uncertain, but if he can avoid any setbacks there's reason to believe he'll be out there when the regular season gets underway.

McGowan has emerged as the Colts' top backup running back during training camp, James Boyd of The Athletic opines.

Per Boyd, with DJ Giddens having been sidelined with a hamstring injury, McGowan has seen added reps of late with the first- and second-team offense. While Jonathan Taylor is the Colts' undisputed top back, and those behind him on the depth chart are off the fantasy lineup radar as long as he's healthy, the pecking order behind him remains of interest in the event that he misses time for any reason. Though Giddens still has a chance to make a push for the No. 2 role ahead of Week 1, he'll first need to get back on the practice field to build any momentum toward that end.
