Jordan Moore WR | CIN
Jordan Moore: Gets practice squad spot in Cincy
Moore signed with Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday.
Moore went unclaimed after being waived as part of final cuts Tuesday, so he'll stick around in the Bengals organization, which he joined in April as an undrafted free agent out of Duke. The former college quarterback may still be learning the nuances of the wide receiver position.

Robert Woods WR | PIT
Robert Woods: Re-signs to practice squad
The Steelers signed Woods to the practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Woods couldn't make Pittsburgh's initial 53-man roster after spending the offseason with the team, but he'll remain present as an emergency depth option at wide receiver on the practice squad. The Steelers are thin at wideout behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin (abdomen), so Woods' path to suiting up for regular-season action is clearer than the average practice-squad player,

Javon Baker WR | NE
Javon Baker: Cut by New England
The Patriots are waiving Baker on Wednesday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Baker made New England's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he'll now be cut loose as the team frees up space for its waiver claims. The 2024 fourth-round pick seems a likely candidate to re-sign to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. He played just 83 snaps on offense as a rookie and finished with one catch for 12 yards (on four targets) across 11 regular-season appearances.

A.T. Perry WR | DEN
A.T. Perry: Joins Denver's practice squad
Perry signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Mike Klis of Denver 9 News reports.
Perry was waived during final cuts Tuesday but will stay with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He could be the next man up should any of the five wide receivers on Denver's 53-man roster get hurt.

Xavier Restrepo WR | TEN
Xavier Restrepo: Stays with Titans on practice squad
Restrepo is signing with Tennessee's practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Restrepo failed to make the Titans' 53-man roster, but the undrafted rookie wide receiver will stay in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He was the top wide receiver for rookie Titans quarterback Cameron Ward when they played together in college at Miami.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | SF
49ers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Staying in NFC West with SF
Valdes-Scantling is signing with the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Released by Seattle a day earlier, Valdes-Scantling will join one of the few teams that can offer him a chance at Week 1 snaps. San Francisco wideouts Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Demarcus Robinson (suspension) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) are already ruled out for Week 1, while Jauan Jennings (calf/contract) and Jordan Watkins (ankle) are uncertain. Ricky Pearsall is locked in as one starter, but everything else is up in the air, potentially allowing Valdes-Scantling to come in and contribute without much prep time the way the did in New Orleans after the Bills released him last year.

Dalevon Campbell WR | CAR
Panthers' Dalevon Campbell: Claimed by Carolina
Campbell was claimed off waivers by the Panthers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Campbell was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday despite leading the team with 147 preseason receiving yards, but his efforts didn't go unnoticed, as the Panthers have swooped in to add Campbell to their 53-man roster after trading away veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen to the Vikings on Wednesday. Campbell, an undrafted rookie out of South Carolina, figures to begin the regular season in a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring), Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker and David Moore in Carolina's inexperienced wide receiver room.

Trey Palmer WR | NO
Saints' Trey Palmer: Claimed by Saints
The Saints won a waiver claim for Palmer on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Palmer jumps from one NFC South team to another after sliding down the depth chart in Tampa Bay the past couple years. The Saints don't have nearly as much talent at wide receiver, but they currently have fewer injuries at the position, which means Palmer is unlikely to have a significant Week 1 role. A 2023 sixth-round pick, Palmer got a lot of playing time as a rookie but produced just 385 yards on 68 targets (5.7 YPT) before dropping to 22 targets (and improving to 7.8 YPT) in a depth role last year. He's the second late addition at WR in New Orleans following a trade for Devaughn Vele last week. The depth chart now looks a bit better behind locked-in starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, but the Saints' QB situation remains among the worst in the league -- the team is starting Spencer Rattler in Week 1 against Arizona.

Austin Trammell WR | JAC
Austin Trammell: Waived after team trades for WR
Trammell was waived by the Jaguars on Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Trammell made it through cutdown day, only to get waived the following day to make room on the roster for trade acquisition Tim Patrick. Trammell will likely latch on with Jacksonville's practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.
