  • David Sills WR | ATL

    Falcons' David Sills: Finds spot on initial 53-man roster

    Sills made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday.

    The wideout room was competitive during training camp, and despite strong showings, the Falcons cut Chris Blair, Dylan Drummond and Nick Nash. That leaves Sills and Casey Washington as the final two WRs behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew (oblique). With Mooney and Agnew banged up, it's possible Sills will see a few offensive snaps in Week 1. He hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2022, when he set career highs (11 catches on 17 targets for 106 yards) with the Giants.

  • Steven Sims WR | SEA

    Steven Sims: Released with injury settlement

    Sims (hamstring) reached an injury settlement with the Seahawks on Tuesday, shortly after the team had placed him on injured reserve.

    Sims was originally slated to go on season-ending IR, but the injury settlement makes him eligible to play in 2025. Once recovered from his hamstring injury, Sims can sign with any NFL team as a free agent. The 28-year-old wide receiver has 53 games of regular-season NFL experience.

  • Tyrone Broden WR | SEA

    Tyrone Broden: Waived by Seahawks

    Broden was waived Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Broden joined the organization as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas but unsurprisingly failed to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. He's a candidate to wind up on Seattle's practice squad after passing through waivers.

  • John Rhys Plumlee: Waived with injury designation

    Plumlee (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Plumlee is set to miss the 2025 campaign as a result of this move. The college quarterback turned wide receiver has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.

  • Ricky White: Fails to make team

    White was waived Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    White was drafted by the Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft but won't be on the team's initial 53-man roster. The rookie out of UNLV is likely to stick around on the practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

  • Mason Kinsey WR | TEN

    Mason Kinsey: Fails to make Titans roster

    Kinsey was waived Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Kinsey appeared in six regular-season games for Tennessee last season but was bumped off the 53-man roster after the Titans selected two wide receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a candidate to land on the team's practice squad, assuming Kinsey isn't claimed on waivers.

  • Ke'Shawn Williams: Waived by Steelers

    Williams was waived Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Williams failed to make Pittsburgh's initial 53-man roster despite a productive preseason. The rookie out of Indiana is expected to pass through waivers unclaimed but may subsequently land on Pittsburgh's practice squad.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Facing competition from Thielen

    Nailor (hand) has new competition for playing time after the Vikings traded for WR Adam Thielen on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Nailor's hand injury seemingly was part of the motivation for the trade, potentially rendering him unavailable during the same part of the season when Jordan Addison will be suspended (Weeks 1-3). With rookie Tai Felton (arm) also banged up and perhaps not considered ready for a full-time role, the Vikings spent days trying to pry Thielen away from Carolina without giving up an early draft pick. Nailor, meanwhile, hasn't practiced in two weeks, with Darren Wolfson of KSTP reporting in mid-August that the Vikings were concerned about his hand injury. Vikings coach Kevin Stefanski said Nailor was week-to-week and declined to comment on whether surgery was a possibility.

  • Brandon Johnson: Waived with injury designation

    Johnson (foot) was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Johnson will miss the 2025 season due to the injury, barring an injury settlement. The 27-year-old wide receiver has 23 games of regular-season NFL experience, including three with the Steelers in 2024.

  • Brandon Smith WR | NYJ

    Brandon Smith: Waived by Jets

    Smith was waived Tuesday, Randy Lange and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.

    Smith's strong preseason play wasn't enough for him to secure a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster. The 26-year-old wideout appeared in one regular-season game for the Jets in 2024 and is a candidate to land on the practice squad if he doesn't garner interest on waivers.
