Keaton Upshaw - Nearing 100 percent Upshaw (undisclosed) indicated earlier in spring practice that he's nearing full health, Aaron Gershon of 247Sports reports. "Everything's going good," Upshaw said. "At this point,...

Impact Upshaw made an impact in 2021 with 16 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns in his nine games played. He was likely in line for a sizable role again last year before the injury bug bit him and forced him to miss the entire season. Now nearly healthy again, Upshaw could seize a role atop the depth chart again in 2022.

Clevan Thomas - Feeling 100 percent Thomas feels 100 percent during spring ball, 247Sports reports.

Impact Thomas missed all of last season after sustaining an ACL tear during last spring. After serving as a coach last fall, Thomas indicated he got his "feet wet" a bit before spring ball and is now back to 100 percent. Thoms is one of a number of options looking to fill the void on the depth chart left by the departures of Wandale Robinson and Josh Ali.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rahsaan Lewis - Arrested on two chargers Lewis was recently arrested for a DUI and reckless driving, Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Lewis has just two receptions to his name during his college career, but they both came in a Wildcats uniform last season. This certainly doesn't do him any favors toward getting additional reps next season with both Wandale Robinson and Josh Ali out of the picture.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Lewis - Getting reps at X receiver Lewis has been receiving reps at the X receiver in spring ball and has done a good job making contested catches, Adam Haste of SB Nation reports.

Impact Lewis was singled out by Will Levis as a player who has improved a lot in the offseason. "Specifically, I think Chris Lewis has come a long a lot," Levis said. "He made a couple really good 50-50 balls." Lewis redshirted in 2021 as a freshman but could be among the candidates to fill the multiple voids left by Wandale Robinson and Josh Ali departing after last season.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dekel Crowdus - Making impression in spring Crowdus (undisclosed) has made a good impression in spring ball, Adam Hasle of SB nation reports.

Impact Crowdus missed all of 2021 due to injury but appears to be making strides in spring ball. With leading receivers Wandale Robinson and Josh Ali both gone from the roster, plenty of open looks are available in the wide receiver room heading into 2022. Crowdus appears to be positioning himself for a chance to contribute depending on how things go in the fall.
