The Saints released St. Brown on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

St. Brown missed the first half of training camp due to a hamstring injury. He was able to suit up for the Saints' last two preseason games, and against the Titans on Sunday, he caught three passes on four targets for 40 yards and one touchdown. St. Brown should receive plenty of interest from teams in need of wide receiver depth, and the 2018 sixth-round pick could be on an NFL roster before Week 1.

The Panthers waived Strachan on Tuesday.

Strachan played 54 preseason snaps for the Panthers but finished with just one catch for seven yards. He appeared in four games for Carolina last season, catching one 45-yard pass on three targets. Strachan has six career grabs for 130 yards and recently turned 27 years old.

The Panthers waived Pinckney on Tuesday.

Pinckney signed with the Panthers back in May after going undrafted out of Coastal Carolina. He caught one pass for seven yards in the preseason finale, his lone exhibition appearance.

Tremayne was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Tremayne spent last season on Washington's practice squad, before inking a new reserve/future contract with the team in January. He's a likely candidate to be a part of the team's practice squad again in 2024, assuming he doesn't find a 53-man roster spot elsewhere.

The Saints expect Shaheed (toe) to be ready for Week 1 against Carolina, Brandon Thomas of New Orleans Football Network reports.

Shaheed missed most of training camp and the preseason, first dealing with a hamstring injury and now a toe issue. He excelled as a return specialist and deep threat during his first two NFL seasons, but his role may be different under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, especially because the Saints lack wideout talent behind No. 1 receiver Chris Olave. Possibilities for 2024 include Shaheed getting more short/intermediate targets and/or fewer touches on special teams.

Thomas (concussion) was waived by the Vikings on Tuesday, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The 26-year-old wideout was injured in a Aug. 15 practice. He's yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game after spending 2023 on Minnesota's practice squad, where he's a candidate to return ahead of the coming campaign.

The Seahawks waived Winston on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Winston has been toggling between the Seahawks' practice squad and active roster for the better part of the last two years. Now 27, Winston has one career catch across four regular-season games. He saw 63 offensive snaps this preseason, logging an 8-98-1 receiving line.

The 49ers released Chosen on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Chosen spent the better part of August with the Niners after appearing nine games for the Dolphins last season. He played 28 offensive snaps in San Francisco's preseason finale but wasn't targeted. Now 31 years old, Chosen's career is certainly winding down.

Sherfield has made Minnesota's 53-man roster, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Vikings will begin the season with a starting wide receiver trio of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor. Brandon Powell is likely the No. 4 receiver with Trishton Jackson and Sherfield profiling in depth/special-teams roles.
