Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: On the field, Olave (blood clot) is now "full go" and has no restrictions, as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp. Whether he gets a new deal or plays out the current contract, Olave is a solid fantasy prospect with a WR12 ADP. |
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) will not start Texans' training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell said in June that he felt he'd be ready to go at the start of training camp and it appears the Texans agree with his assessment of his health. The speedy wideout missed all of last season after suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024 and was able to do limited work during the team's offseason program. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons. His progress is notable and if he builds on it early in camp, expect his WR75 ADP to rise. |

Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (undisclosed) will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: According to According to SI.com, it's not clear what's occurred in his situation. The second-year wideout participated fully in the Texans' offseason program without any reported injury, so something happened since the last time the team was practicing. The issue could be something as simple as an illness, or it might be a more serious injury that could keep him out of participating in practice longer. Noel was expected to compete for first-team reps in the slot after a promising finish to his rookie campaign. We'll follow up as more information comes to light. |
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 27. 'I think we'll see him play football tomorrow,' New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The team's first-round draft pick (No. 8 overall) didn't do much on-field practice work after the first day of rookie minicamp as the team sought to manage the recurrence of a hamstring injury he suffered before he was drafted. Expect the Saints to be cautious, with Tyson ramping up to being able to fully participate in practice. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (blood clot) is now 'full go' and 'has no restrictions' as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Olave missed Week 18 because of a blood clot in his lung, and the team limited his work during the spring in order to continue monitoring the situation. On Tuesday, GM Mickey Loomis said that Olave has been given the green light to do everything during this summer's practices. Olave's three-game stretch to finish the season was impressive. He was WR2 from Weeks 15 through 17. He's being drafted as WR12. |
New Orleans Saints DL Keeshawn Silver and WR Mason Tipton were placed on the PUP list by the team on Tuesday, July 28.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (leg) told the media he is a 'full go' for practice on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was limited during the offseason program as a result of a hamstring injury. Although it didn't truly seem like it was serious at the time, there was a looming worry that McConkey's start to the season (or at least training camp) would be delayed as a result. Now that he's ready to, FanSided's G.C. Bellchamber believes McConkey should quickly become Los Angeles' primary offensive weapon in Mike McDaniel's YAC-centric scheme. McConkey is being drafted as WR20, a number he's capable of outperforming. |
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (knee) is a week or two away from practicing, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Pierce, who underwent offseason ankle surgery, was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday. He can come off the list at any time. Remember, the Colts re-signed Pierce this offseason and paid him to be their WR1. It would be great to see him get some work in that role before the season starts. If he's healthy, that role and his WR36 ADP would offer a substantial potential reward for the risk. |
Free-agent TE Zach Davidson (Giants), QB Jake Haener (Chiefs), WR Malik Heath (Falcons) and TE Scotty Washington (Ravens) recently worked out for the New York Giants. The team also worked out undrafted free-agent WR Eric McAlister (TCU).

Minnesota Vikings WR Luke Wysong (undisclosed) was waived Monday, July 27, with an injury designation.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Zay Jones (Cardinals) met with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, Jones played in 27 regular-season and playoff games for the team over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He had 116 catches for 1,144 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season and 13 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown in two postseason outings. Jones spent the last two seasons with the Cardinals and caught 20 passes for 267 yards. Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Travis Hunter, and Parker Washington head up the receiving corps in Jacksonville. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Christian Kirk (calf) will not participate in practice Monday, July 27, because of a calf strain.
| Footballguys view: Kirk signed with the 49ers this offseason after catching 28 passes for 239 yards and a touchdown in 13 regular-season games for the Texans last year. He also had 10 catches for 164 yards and two touchdowns in the playoffs. He seems likely to be a contributor in this offense -- assuming he can stay on the field. We'll follow up as needed. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (ankle, back) briefly exited practice on two occasions Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: Harrison pulled himself out of practice twice. The first time, after sitting on the field for a few moments, he stood up and pointed toward his left ankle while talking to a trainer. The second time, he looked to be in pain, grimacing a few times as he stood on the sideline. He appeared to stretch out his back, standing, and did a cobra pose twice. We'll follow up as needed. While Harrison was out, wide receiver Simi Fehoko got reps with the first-team offense, potentially signifying his place in the receiving rotation. |
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has 'delivered highlight plays' in each of the first two days of training camp, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: In a crowded Patriots wide receiver room, which includes trade acquisition A.J. Brown and big-money free agent signing Romeo Doubs, it was Boutte who made waves. On Sunday, he corralled a back-shoulder throw from QB Drake Maye despite being tightly covered. That came a day after Boutte got behind the defense to snare a diving 40-yard reception. While there's been speculation about a possible trade, it's not a stretch to believe Boutte will be a contributor if he remains in New England. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen made a leaping catch between two defenders in the end zone during practice Sunday, July 26, and he said he is working to build chemistry with QB Patrick Mahomes. 'Everything is pretty much timing,' Allen said. 'This isn't college anymore. This is big-boy ball. I'm on his time, and everything is very precise.'
Link to storyNew England Patriots WR Jeremiah Webb was placed on injured reserve, according to a source on Sunday, July 26.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Christian Kirk reportedly walked off the field with a trainer midway through Sunday's practice session, but we should get some definitive word from acting HC Chris Foerster about Kirk, according to a source on Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers were the most star-crossed injury team so far this summer, but the 49ers have held that title for many years (tinfoil hats on). Kirk was limited by hamstring issues last year with Houston. If he has trouble staying on the field this year, that will present another avenue for second round pick De'Zhaun Stribling to have an impact in fantasy leagues in his rookie year. |

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) is reportedly being checked on by five NFL teams, but the Washington Commanders are 'intriguing' to Diggs, as a native of the area, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: We already know that Diggs is interested in playing with Jayden Daniels, and the Commanders certainly need an experienced #2 wide receiver target behind Terry McLaurin. Right now rookie third round pick Antonio Williams, former Titans first round pick Treylon Burks, Commanders recent mid-round draft picks Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane, and Dyami Brown (who is back after a nondescript year in Jacksonville) are the current candidates for snaps and targets behind McLaurin. Landing in Washington is the best outcome for Diggs fantasy value, but the Commanders might not want to bring on a player who isn't known as a plus in the locker room. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is still talking with the Saints about a possible contract extension, but his practice participation is not expected to affected by the contract talks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Olave is set to play the 2026 season on his fifth-year option, but there could be a new extension done before the start of the regular season. He's gained some muscle this offseason, and reports indicate he's looked 'great' in limited work. Olave and the Saints have been talking for some time, and there was hope a deal could get done before the start of camp. They're still talking, but we have to see if any movement comes from these most recent conversations. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk will remain on the left squad list, and the team will focus on the players that reported for training camp, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk has proclaimed that he would sign with the Commanders this offseason if the 49ers released him. Lynch made it sound like that's not going to happen anytime in the near future, so the NFL world waits (some more) for this Aiyuk situation to work itself out. Aiyuk did not play at all last year, and the last time he caught a pass in an NFL game was Week 7 of the 2024 season. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua will report to training camp on time and participate in practices even though he is entering the final year of his contract, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: There was some speculation that Nacua could hold out as he seeks a new contract. One of the league's best receivers, Nacua has had a tumultuous offseason to say the least. Nacua could have to play out the year without an extension, even though Rams HC Sean McVay says he wants Nacua to be a Ram for a "really long time." We'll see him out there in camp, and then we'll monitor any progress on a new contract. |

Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas could be used on special teams, at wide receiver and in the backfield this season.
| Footballguys view: Another day, and another report about Thomas being used in a variety of ways. The rookie receiver from LSU has been impressing this offseason, and Dynasty GMs are loving the news. Veteran WR Kalif Raymond should be the Bears' no.3 receiver behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. However, Thomas and that world-class speed are going to be tempting to get on the field - both on offense and special teams. Expect Thomas to push Raymond for snaps as the season goes on. |
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has a chance to earn a starting role this season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Texas Tech in the 2026 NFL Draft, Douglas has a great size-speed combination. With a large wingspan and the ability to take the top off the defense, Douglas could be a big-play weapon for QB Malik Willis. However, he needs to play with more physicality at the catch point and cut down on his concentration drops to truly play up to his potential. We'll see in training camp and the preseason how the Dolphins' WR depth chart shapes up with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Douglas competing for the top spots. |
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) has been able to practice at training camp after missing time during spring activities with a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: While limited in the spring, McMillan was planning on being ready for the start of training camp - which he is. He had a spectacular season as a rookie (70 catches, 1,014 yards, seven touchdowns), so Fantasy GMs are taking him at WR17 (4.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. With reports suggesting McMillan will play more 'big slot' this year, he could outperform his ADP. |
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris is expected to be 'a legitimate part of the passing offense' in 2026, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This has been a consistent drumbeat this offseason - everyone is expecting a breakout season from Harris. The second-year pro has incredible run-after-the-catch skill, something that should serve him well in a Mike McDaniel offense. We like Harris as a WR7 for your fantasy team, and this positive offseason buzz means Fantasy GMs should be considering him a late-round flier. |
Free-agent WR Chris Moore (Commanders) agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens Friday, July 24. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: This won't be confirmed until Nabers passes a physical, but it is a turn to a more optimistic view of Nabers recovery from knee surgery than we heard during the offseason. His ADP is likely to spike back into the second round, and Jaxson Dart's stock could also be lifted by this news. Still, it was reported elsewhere yesterday that Nabers has a "realistic chance" of playing Week 1, which indicates that this isn't exactly a routine return from a routine knee surgery. Nabers had a second surgery around late April/early May to "clean up" scar tissue that was causing stiffness. We will be monitoring this closely, stay tuned. |
