Wide receiver shuffle:
Markus Wheaton, who opened offseason practices with the inside track to start opposite Pro Bowler Antonio Brown in 2014, participated on a limited basis during the final week of OTAs and may be dealing with some sort of leg or foot injury.
Wheaton’s limited activity provided an opportunity for Justin Brown, who spent all of last season on the practice squad, to get plenty of work with the first-team offense. Brown, Derek Moye, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Danny Coale are among the wide receivers who will likely battle for one roster spot. The real separation won’t happen until training camp and preseason games but the competition will continue at minicamp.

Ugh.
