  • Cade McDonald WR | CLE

    Browns' Cade McDonald: Shifts to IR

    McDonald (undisclosed) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.

    McDonald impressed at Browns' rookie minicamp and stuck with the team through the summer and played all three preseason games, finishing with two receptions for 11 yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old receiver will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

  • Maurice Alexander: Signs to practice squad

    Alexander signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

    The wide receiver was waived by the team Tuesday after falling short of the 53-man roster, but he was able to stay with Chicago after clearing waivers. Alexander signed a reserve/future contract with the Bears in January after spending the last three years with the Lions. The Florida International product has one career regular-season catch for seven yards.

  • Kevin Austin: Back with New Orleans

    The Saints signed Austin to the practice squad Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Austin logged 305 offensive snaps with the Saints in 2024 after beginning the season on the practice squad. He could have a similar trajectory in 2025, though New Orleans recently added Devaughn Vele and Trey Palmer to bolster their receiver depth chart.

  • Jeshaun Jones WR | MIN

    Jeshaun Jones: Hanging around Minnesota

    Jones was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

    Jones cleared waivers after being let go by Minnesota on Tuesday, and he will now open the 2025 campaign as a member of the team's practice unit. The wide receiver spent the 2024 season with the Vikings' practice squad, but he didn't appear in any contests.

  • Cedrick Wilson: Lands back with Saints

    The Saints released Wilson and then signed him to their practice squad Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Wilson took a pay cut to remain in New Orleans this offseason, but he still wasn't able to make the initial roster. He'll be a top candidate to be elevated to the active roster if the Saints suffer any injuries at wide receiver.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | CHI

    Devin Duvernay: Released by Chicago

    Duvernay was released by the Bears on Wednesday.

    The wide receiver signed a one-year deal with Chicago in March but ended up falling short of the 53-man roster in a crowded receiver room led by DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. Duvernay has just 15 catches for 97 yards over the last two regular seasons with the Jaguars and Ravens, and he last caught an NFL touchdown in 2022 with Baltimore. Now, the 2020 third-round pick of the Ravens will look for his next opportunity.

  • Lucky Jackson WR | MIN

    Lucky Jackson: Hanging around Minnesota

    Jackson was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

    Jackson went unclaimed on waivers after Minnesota cut him loose Tuesday, and he will now open the year as a member of the team's practice squad. The wide receiver spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign with the Vikings' practice squad, and he'll look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season, something he didn't accomplish last year.

  • Dontae Fleming WR | MIN

    Dontae Fleming: Remaining in Minnesota

    Fleming was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

    Fleming went unclaimed on waivers after being let go by Minnesota on Tuesday, and he will now stick around as a member of the team's practice unit. The wide receiver will look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season to make his NFL debut.

  • Ricky White: Heads to practice squad

    White signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

    White was extremely productive at UNLV with 167 catches for 2,524 yards and 19 touchdowns across his final two seasons, but his 4.61 40-yard dash was a glaring weak spot for a 6-foot-1, 184-pound receiver. He struggled in preseason with just three receptions for 40 yards over three games, and he lost out to Dareke Young and Cody White for the final two wideout spots. White now has a chance to develop on the Seahawks' scout team.

  • Coleman Owen WR | IND

    Coleman Owen: Stays with Indy

    Owen signed to the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

    The wide receiver was waived Tuesday after missing out on the team's 53-man roster. Owen finished the preseason with 13 catches on 16 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown, so it's possible that the undrafted free agent could become a developmental prospect as the season goes on. Owen, an Ohio product, caught 78 passes for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns during his final collegiate season in 2024.
