Tipton has drawn positive reviews from the New Orleans coaching staff for his performance during the team's early training camp practices, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports. "I think he's got the skill set," head coach Dennis Allen said of Tipton. "He's a smaller player, but he's got some real good quickness and he's a savvy route runner. He's got some football awareness, and so I think he understands kind of how to play the position."

An undrafted rookie out of Yale, Tipton has put his 4.33-second 40-yard dash speed on frequent display in camp, with DeShazier noting that the receiver turned in one of the highlights of practice Monday with a long touchdown catch down the sideline. Though Tipton already looks like a downfield threat, the 5-foot-11, 187-pound wideout will still need to show that his quickness can translate to underneath routes if he wants to separate himself from the rest of his competition for a roster spot. If Tipton continues to shine in preseason contests and earns his way onto the roster, he could push for the third spot in a receiver group that lacks much in the way of quality depth behind starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

Brown didn't practice Tuesday and was wearing a red no-contact shirt, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

It's not clear what prompted Brown to be wearing the shirt, but it indicates he likely won't suit up for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Bears. Brown is the mix for the fourth wideout spot, competing with Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie, Ben Skowronek and Robert Woods.

The Steelers signed Black on Wednesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Black was let go from the Ravens practice squad back in January and has now joined a division rival in the Steelers. The Texas product's most recent in-game action came in 2021 with the Jets, when he caught one pass for 10 yards in one contest. He's expected to compete for a depth role in the Steelers' wide receiver room as the preseason progresses.

Remigio has been returning punts and kicks while also working with Kansas City's first-team offense during training camp, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The second-year wide receiver out of Fresno State has emerged throughout the summer, receiving increased reps with the first-team offense and impressing the coaching staff. Remigio has also been working as a return man, which enhances his chances of making Kansas City's 53-man roster. As the preseason continues, expect Remigio to compete for a depth role on the Chiefs' offense as well as the position of the team's top return man.

Milne was waived by the Commanders on Wednesday.

Milne missed all of Washington's 2023 campaign due to a groin issue, and the team has now decided to let go of the 25-year-old wideout. The BYU product appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Commanders in 2022, recording 611 total return yards and one receiving touchdown. In a corresponding move, Washington agreed to terms with WR Byron Pringle.

The Commanders released Byrd on Wednesday.

Byrd agreed to terms with the Commanders in May, but the team has now decided to part ways with the 31-year-old wideout. In a corresponding move, Washington signed WR Byron Pringle.

Olave practiced Wednesday after exiting early during Tuesday's session with an apparent hip injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Olave seems to have dealt with more of a bump or bruise than a real injury, given that he was back on the practice field less than 24 hours later. He's locked in as the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Derek Carr and new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Volume shouldn't be an issue, as Olave and running back Alvin Kamara are the only players on the Saints roster that have ever drawn more than 75 targets in an NFL season.

The Dolphins signed Snead on Wednesday.

Snead, a nine-year NFL veteran who's spent the majority of his career with the Ravens and Saints, has found a new home in Miami. He played just 70 total snaps in four regular-season games with the 49ers in 2023, so he'll likely be competing for a depth role in the Dolphins' wide receiver room as the preseason progresses.

Knowles (undisclosed) was spotted on the sidelines of Monday's camp session, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Knowles, an undrafted second-year wide receiver out of Kansas State, had been dealing with an undisclosed injury over the past week. It seems as if he could be nearing a return to the field, and once he does, Knowles is expected to compete for a depth spot in Minnesota's wide receiver corps.

Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's camp session, Vincent Carchietta of The Clayton News-Daily reports.

Ford-Wheaton missed time earlier in the offseason with a shoulder issue, but it now appears that he's moved past the injury. With Ford-Wheaton back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the Giants' wide receiver room.
