  • Shaquan Davis WR | PHI

    Eagles' Shaquan Davis: Off NFI list after passing physical

    Davis (undisclosed) passed his physical Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Davis opened training camp on the active/non-football injury list due to an undisclosed issue, but he's since recovered and is now cleared to participate in practices and play in preseason games. The wideout signed with Philadelphia in January after spending last season on New Orleans' practice squad. He's a long shot to make the Eagles' 53-man roster out of camp.

  • Cam Sims WR | CAR

    Panthers' Cam Sims: Moved to reserve/PUP list

    The Panthers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Sims had previously been placed on the active/PUP list, and in moving to the reserve/PUP list, he now won't count as part of the Panthers' 90-man roster. Carolina will have until cut-down day to determine if the wideout will be activated or remain on the reserve/PUP list, in which case he'd need to sit out the first four games of the campaign. Sims had been looking to vie for a roster spot in training camp after signing with Carolina on a reserve/future contract in January.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Making recovery progress

    Pearsall (hamstring) worked on the side at Friday's practice and has progressed to running routes at what has seemingly been full speed, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Pearsall remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it looks like he could be ready to be activated and resume practicing as early as next week. Once ready to retake the field, the rookie first-round pick might have an opportunity to take advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's current hold-in and get some extra first-team reps in.

  • Sam Pinckney WR | CAR

    Sam Pinckney: Done with Panthers

    Carolina waived Pinckney on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    The Panthers made a series of free-agent signings Friday, and Pinckney became a casualty of their consequent need to free up space on the roster. He'll now search for another chance with a different team.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Early favorite for No. 3 job?

    Bengals WRs coach Troy Walters recently said Iosivas is "probably No. 3" on the depth chart at the moment, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.

    With Ja'Marr Chase (contract) not practicing and Tee Higgins being eased in after missing the offseason program, a number of players are getting first-team WR reps early in training camp. Iosivas seems to be at the top of that list, including Wednesday when he exclusively worked from the slot. He doesn't fit the typical slot mold at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, but he'll need some level of comfort there in order to win the No. 3 job, even if Tyler Boyd's offseason departure leads to Chase playing inside more often. While Iosivas was limited to 15 catches and 266 snaps last season after the Bengals drafted him in the sixth round, there's no doubt he has sufficient raw physical tools to succeed in the NFL, having run a 4.43 40 at the 2023 Combine. Incoming third-round pick Jermaine Burton has similar speed (4.45 40) and faced SEC competition rather than Iosivas' Ivy League opponents at Princeton, but Burton isn't quite as big (6-foot, 196 pounds) and seems to be further down the depth chart at the start of training camp. Trenton Irwin and Charlie Jones may also be candidates for the No. 3 job.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Labeled day-to-day

    Coach Jerod Mayo said Friday that Douglas (hand) is "day-to-day" and only dealing with a minor injury, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Douglas' hand injury has limited him from yet taking part in team drills at training camp, but it doesn't appear that he's dealing with anything long-term. The second-year pro reportedly impressed at spring practices, and once back on the field at training camp he'll work to continue building some positive momentum. There are opportunities up for grabs in New England's crowded wide receiver room -- and Douglas was one of the offense's lone bright spots as a rookie -- but he faces competition from 2024 second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk and fourth-rounder Javon Baker, as well as free-agency arrival K.J. Osborn.

  • Michael Gallup: Retirement made official

    The Raiders placed Gallup on the reserve/retired list Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Gallup surprisingly retired as training camp kicked off for Las Vegas, after having signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the team during the offseason. The 28-year-old wideout played all six seasons of his NFL career in a Cowboys uniform, and injuries seemed to derail him after a promising 66-1,107-6 receiving line in Year 2. Former teammate Dak Prescott praised Gallup following his retirement, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site, saying "he was huge for my career."

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Expected to miss a few weeks

    Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Gipson (leg) suffered an injury at practice Thursday and is expected to miss a week or two, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Gipson walked off the practice field with a notable limp, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, but the specifics of his leg injury remain undisclosed. As a rookie last season, Gipson suited up for all 17 games and worked as the Jets' primary kick and punt returner, but he now faces competition from Tarik Cohen and Isaiah Davis.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Leaves practice due to overheating

    London left Friday's practice because of cramps and overheating, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    There was briefly concern about an injury when London made an early exit and was seen talking with trainers. It turns out he just needs rest and water, so it shouldn't be long before he's back to building chemistry with new starting quarterback Kirk Cousins.

  • Davion Davis WR | WAS

    Commanders' Davion Davis: Surprise standout early in camp

    Davis has been a frequent target of QB Jayden Daniels early in training camp while getting reps with the first- and second-team offenses, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Davis went undrafted back in 2019 and is now 27 years old with four regular-season NFL appearances to his name (none since 2021), but it sounds like he's making a real bid for a roster spot on a team that lacks sure things at wide receiver beyond runaway No. 1 Terry McLaurin. Davis spent time on three different NFL practice squads last year after finishing second in the USFL with 575 receiving yards during the league's 2023 season.
