  • JP Richardson WR | CHI

    JP Richardson: Cut by Chicago

    The Bears waived Richardson on Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Undrafted out of TCU earlier this year, Richardson reportedly flashed during training camp, according to Biggs, and is a candidate to rejoin the Bears on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Richardson played 46 offensive snaps during the preseason and caught four of six targets for 28 yards. He also recently dealt with an ankle injury.

  • Cornelius Johnson: Let go from Green Bay

    The Packers waived Johnson on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Johnson was a seventh-round pick by the Chargers last year and has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game. This preseason, Johnson logged 78 offensive snaps and caught six of his seven targets for 50 scoreless yards.

  • Jermaine Terry: Cut with injury designation

    The Giants waived Terry (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    According to Duggan, Terry has been dealing with a "minor" injury. The undrafted rookie tight end missed the final preseason game. He logged 38 offensive snaps across the first two exhibitions, catching one pass for 21 yards.

  • Laviska Shenault: Released by Buffalo

    The Bills released Shenault on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Shenault played a combined 70 snaps across offense and special teams during the preseason and caught just two of his five targets for 30 yards while returning seven kickoffs for 221 yards. He was competing for the returner gig and a depth wideout role in Buffalo.

  • Carlos Washington: Cut by Atlanta

    The Falcons waived Washington on Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Washington dealt with a hamstring injury for the majority of the summer and didn't appear in any of the three preseason contests. He played in one regular-season game with Atlanta last season, logging 11 snaps on special teams.

  • Trey Palmer WR | TB

    Trey Palmer: Caught up in roster cuts

    The Buccaneers waived Palmer on Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Tampa Bay's decision to part ways with Palmer is somewhat surprising, given that the team projects to be without both Jalen McMillan (neck) and Chris Godwin (PUP-ankle) for at least the first month of the regular season. It's possible that the 2023 sixth-round pick lost out on a roster spot as a result of the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the Buccaneers' first two preseason game, though he returned for the team's final exhibition tilt against Buffalo on Saturday, securing one of two targets for 13 yards. If he clears waivers, Palmer seems likely to resurface on the practice squad.

  • Johnny Lumpkin: Cut by Green Bay

    The Packers waived Lumpkin on Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Lumpkin played 49 offensive snaps during the preseason and caught three passes for 26 yards on four targets. He's yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NYG

    Tommy DeVito: Can't make final roster

    The Giants waived DeVito on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    New York won't carry DeVito on the 53-man roster with all of Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston already guaranteed spots, and a fourth QB seeming superfluous given the team's needs across the board. Across three regular-season appearances (two starts) in 2024, DeVito completed 31 of 44 passes for 257 yards with zero touchdowns while rushing eight times for 32 yards. The Giants will likely hope DeVito makes it back to the practice squad, but it wouldn't be surprising for another team to claim him on waivers.

  • Jashaun Corbin RB | ATL

    Jashaun Corbin: Waived by Atlanta

    The Falcons waived Corbin on Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Corbin logged 66 offensive snaps this preseason, finishing with 18 carries for 59 yards across three exhibitions. Corbin last appeared in a regular-season game back in 2023, when he produced one rushing yard on one attempt and caught three passes for 12 yards across six contests with the Giants.

  • Diontae Johnson: Released by Cleveland

    The Browns released Johnson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Johnson got extensive playing time this preseason, mostly with second- and third-stringers, catching just two of six targets for 19 yards. He also failed to earn a meaningful role in Baltimore and Houston during the second half of last season, after enjoying a volume-fueled run of production for Carolina earlier in the year. Jamari Thrash is the favorite for Cleveland's No. 3 receiver job in Week 1, behind presumed starters Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.
