Matty:
Saying someone will "compete for the 5th WR spot" is a polite way of saying that he has a shot at making the team but that even if he does, he is not likely to get his uniform dirty. That is the sports reporting version of politically correct writing.
It might hurt Russell's feelings if someone wrote that he hasn't shown a thing as a wide receiver in his entire pro career because he can't catch a cold. We wouldn't want to hurt his feelings now...
