Wide receivers at a glance

- John McClain

Under contract: Will Fuller, Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, Keke Coutee, DeAndre Carter, Steven Mitchell Jr., Isaiah Coulter, Tyler Simmons, Chad Hansen, Isaac Whitney.

Offseason additions: Brandin Cooks (Rams), Randall Cobb (Cowboys), Isaiah Coulter (fifth round), Tyler Simmons (unas drafted free agent). Offseason losses: DeAndre Hopkins (Cardinals). Candidate for breakout season: Isaiah Coulter. The fifthround pick from Rhode Island is behind since there was no onfield instructio­n from the coaches, but considerin­g the injury history of the receivers in front of him, he could get playing time a rookie.

Veteran who might not make final roster: Keke Coutee. The third-year veteran can’t afford to get hurt and fall behind like last season. He’s got to stay healthy and play well against a group of veterans competing for playing time as a slot receiver.
