Claypool is being held out of practice Wednesday with a soft-tissue injury, Mark Grote of 670TheScore.com reports.
Claypool's absence from a few spring practices shouldn't matter so long as he's healthy for training camp this summer. He looks to be third on the depth chart at receiver behind DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney (ankle), the latter of whom has also been absent from spring practices. Claypool struggled to produce after coming over from Pittsburgh in a trade last fall and now enters his contract year in a suboptimal situation for putting up numbers.
