Las Vegas waived Griffin on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

Griffin latched on with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in April and got into two games during the exhibition slate, though all six of his snaps came on special teams. He showed some chops in the return game by tallying 90 yards on three kickoff returns, but Griffin was always considered a long shot to make the 53-man roster.

Drummond was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.

Drummond signed with the Falcons in May, reeling in six catches for 22 yards during the preseason. If the wide receiver clears waivers, his most likely next landing spot is right back with Atlanta as a member of the team's practice squad.

The Texans waived Cephus on Tuesday.

After being waived by the Bills in May, Cephus caught on with the Texans in mid-July before the start of training camp. He had been competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, and across four preseason games, he registered six catches on 10 targets for 40 yards. The 2020 fifth-round pick should garner some interest from teams in need of a wide receiver either on the active roster or practice squad.

Bynum was waived by Las Vegas on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

Bynum spent last year in the Chargers' organization and got into one regular-season game, logging one snap and not producing any stats. The USC product caught two of four targets for 20 yards with the Raiders during the exhibition slate and is a candidate to end up on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Davis was waived by the Saints on Tuesday.

Davis failed to reel in his only target during the preseason after signing with the team earlier in the month. If he goes unclaimed, the Saints' practice squad is his most likely destination.

Morgan was released by the Saints on Tuesday.

Morgan reeled in four catches for 47 yards during the preseason after signing with New Orleans in March. The wide receiver has appeared in at least three games in each of his five prior NFL seasons, all with Cincinnati, and he'll now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

The Vikings waived Jones on Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Four months to the day after he got scooped up by Minnesota as an undrafted rookie free agent, Jones is on his way out. He'll have to look for his next chance to establish himself elsewhere.

Stanley was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver sustained a hamstring injury early in training camp and missed the team's first preseason game. Stanley ended up catching three passes for 12 yards during the preseason, but it was not enough for the undrafted free agent to find his way into a crowded receiver room.

Winfree (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Colts on Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official website reports.

Winfree was not designated to return, meaning that he'll spend the entirety of the 2024 season on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with Indianapolis. The wide receiver is dealing with an unspecified injury and it's unclear when he'd be able to return to action.

Hicks was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Hicks signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in May and tried to crack a crowded receiver room led by Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks. The wide receiver caught 72 passes for 1,139 yards and 17 touchdowns over his final two college seasons with the University of Albany.
