The Bengals waived Jackson from the practice squad Tuesday.

Jackson spent most of his rookie season on Cincinnati's practice squad after going undrafted out of Auburn in 2023. It's possible he could be a candidate to reunite with the Bengals in a similar capacity again as the 2024 campaign progresses.

The Dolphins cut Chosen from the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Chosen was mistake-prone in his appearance during Miami's resounding loss to the Bills last Thursday, and it appears the team isn't interested in providing him further time to acclimate to the offense. The veteran's release could also be an indication that the team expects to get Malik Washington (oblique) back on the field Week 3 versus the Seahawks.

Pittsburgh cut Davis from the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Davis inked with the Steelers' practice squad Sept. 10, but he'll now have to begin another search for a depth role around the league. The second-year pro out of South Carolina State is still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

The Browns signed Darden to the practice squad Tuesday.

Darden worked as Cleveland's top returner Week 1, and he now reunites with the team as a member of the practice squad. With wide receiver David Bell (hip) having suffered a season-ending hip injury, Darden could get an opportunity to bump up to the active roster and contribute as early as Sunday versus the Giants.

The Browns placed Bell (hip) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Bell is slated to undergo season-ending surgery after dislocating his right hip in last Sunday's win over the Jaguars. The 2022 third-round pick's injury could open up more opportunity for Cedric Tillman and James Proche in Cleveland's wide receiver corps.

The Patriots announced Tuesday that Reagor has been released from the practice squad.

Reagor suited up for 11 regular-season games with New England last year, but he'll now have to search for a depth role elsewhere in the league. The 2020 first-round pick has appeared in 56 total regular-season games in his career, split between the Eagles, Vikings and Patriots.

Skowronek is dealing with shoulder soreness Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Skowronek has been elevated from the Steelers' practice squad each of the first two weeks of the season. However, that has mostly led to a special teams role, as he's only seen six snaps on offense. This injury could impact his role this Sunday against the Chargers and keep him on the practice squad, as Calvin Austin (undisclosed) and Roman Wilson (ankle) deal with injuries as well. Pittsburgh currently has Quez Watkins, Brandon Johnson and Shaquan Davis as options at receiver on their practice squad, too.

Moore logged just five snaps in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

Moore played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, ranking fifth among wideouts in the category. The third-year wideout has clearly fallen behind in the pecking order for playing time at this point and is best left on the waiver wire in nearly all formats, barring multiple injuries at the position that would open up playing time.

Smith-Schuster wasn't targeted in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

Smith-Schuster only played 13 offensive snaps (20 percent) in the contest, sitting fourth among wideouts in snap share behind Rashee Rice (83 percent), Xavier Worthy (68 percent) and Justin Watson (45 percent). The veteran has yet to reel in a pass this year and has just one target to his name through two games, so he's on the outside looking in from a fantasy standpoint unless injuries pop up to others at the position.

McCloud caught three of five targets for 42 yards during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles. He also rushed once for three yards.

After leading the Falcons in targets while playing only 48 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1, McCloud played every offensive snap during Monday Night Football. He finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Darnell Mooney (3-88-1) and Drake London (6-54-1). McCloud was also called for an unnecessary roughness penalty after one of his catches in the second quarter, but that didn't impact his role in the second half. While his production and playing time to start the campaign are encouraging, it remains unclear how many viable fantasy wideouts the Falcons' new-look offense can sustain, especially if tight end Kyle Pitts gets going.
