The Seahawks waived Hatten on Tuesday.

Hatten signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in May, and he was not able to carve out a roster spot this preseason. The 24-year-old wideout will now have to pass through waivers before becoming eligible to sign with a new team ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Winstead was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Winstead was signed by San Francisco as an undrafted free agent last May and spent most of the season on the team's practice squad. He signed with the Jets in early August of this year and got four targets during preseason play but didn't catch any of them.

The Jets waived Smith on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Smith spent time in the Dallas and Arizona organizations prior to being signed by the Jets in early August, though he's yet to get into an NFL regular-season game. The receiver out of Iowa enjoyed a strong preseason for New York, catching all five of his targets for a team-leading 120 yards. That could help him land a spot on New York's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Palmer was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Cardinals after catching 47 passes for 858 yards and eight scores at UAB last season. Though he has 4.45 speed, Palmer also turned 24 in May.

The Jets waived McCutcheon on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

McCutcheon finished last season on New York's practice squad and signed a reserve/future deal with the organization in January. The wideout struggled in preseason play, catching just two of seven targets for 25 yards.

Jackson was waived by Tennessee on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Jackson didn't record a catch over the first two preseason games before missing Sunday's game against the Saints due to a knee injury. He wasn't waived with an injury designation, indicating that Jackson is healthy. Should he clear waivers, Jackson will explore his next options.

The Titans waived Oliver on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Oliver signed with the Titans in May as an undrafted free agent. The Youngstown State product entered training camp competing for a depth receiving role, and across three preseason games he accumulated eight catches on 11 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the preseason finale against the Saints on Sunday. Despite the strong finish, it wasn't enough for Oliver to crack the Titans' 53-man roster, though he could be invited back to join Tennessee's practice squad.

Johnson was released by the Bears on Tuesday.

Johnson was unable to make the Bears' 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign, and the 26-year-old wideout will look to catch on with another team this season. Despite flashing in some of his preseason opportunities, Johnson wasn't able to do enough to secure a roster spot in the Chicago's crowded receiver corps headlined by DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.

Washington (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
