Trent Taylor WR | SF
Bears' Trent Taylor: Signing with Chicago
Taylor is signing with the Bears on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Taylor was released by the Bengals on Tuesday, but he landed a spot on Chicago's active roster a day later. The 2017 fifth-rounder saw most of his production as a return man last year, racking up 340 yards on punt returns. Velus Jones was absent for an undisclosed reason late in training camp and the preseason, and Taylor would be a candidate to take on return duties if Jones misses time during the regular season.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Makes 53-man roster
Olszewski has made the Steelers' 53-man roster, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Olszewski was on the Steelers' roster bubble ahead of Tuesday's deadline to finalize rosters, but the receiver will remain with the team heading into the 2023 regular season. He didn't see much offensive work last season, securing five of seven targets for 53 yards while rushing eight times for 39 yards. He'll have additional competition for touches in 2023 after the Steelers acquired Allen Robinson during the offseason.

Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Jalen Reagor: Gets cut by Minnesota
Minnesota will waive Reagor on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Reagor made it through the first day of roster cuts, but he'll now be sent to waivers despite having logged a relatively impressive finish to the preseason. The transaction's largest impact is that it leaves Brandon Powell as the Vikings' clear top punt returner, with Jalen Nailor (leg) also set to be an option when healthy. Reagor seems like a strong candidate to land on Minnesota's practice squad, assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Kyric McGowan WR | MIA
Commanders' Kyric McGowan: Sent to injured reserve
The Commanders placed McGowan (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
McGowan's entire 2023 campaign will be spent on IR, barring an injury settlement. He appeared in two games with Washington as a rookie last season, and was facing competition for a roster spot prior to suffering an undisclosed injury.

David Durden WR | DAL
Cowboys' David Durden: Officially done for the year
The Cowboys placed Durden (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.
Durden has officially been diagnosed with a torn ACL, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports, giving him a long road to recovery for the 2024 campaign. The 24-year-old undrafted rookie out of West Florida had logged an impressive training camp prior to suffering the knee injury.

Alex Bachman WR | LV
Alex Bachman: Gets injury settlement
The Texans removed Bachman (oblique) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Bachman will now be free to sign with another team once fully healthy, though that will take some time as he's recovering from a torn oblique. The 27-year-old initially landed on IR on Aug. 22.

Nikko Remigio WR | KC
Nikko Remigio: Waived/injured Tuesday
Remigio (wrist) was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Remigio has been nursing a wrist injury since mid-August. He is now set to hit waivers and subsequently revert to the Chiefs' injured reserve assuming nobody claims him. The undrafted free agent signed with Kansas City in May.

Jaray Jenkins WR | PIT
Jaray Jenkins: Waived with injury designation
Jenkins (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Jaguars on Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jenkins joined the Jags as an undrafted free agent and was hoping to make the team as a depth receiver. Should he clear waivers, his next stop would be reverting to Jacksonville's injured reserve.

Malik Turner WR | SF
Malik Turner: Reaches injury settlement
Turner (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the Colts with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Turner landed on IR with an undisclosed injury, and it remains unclear what he is dealing with. However, he will now be free to play again this season once his health is back up to par. The 27-year-old journeyman has had stints with the Seahawks, Cowboys and 49ers previously in his five-year career.

Cam Sims WR | CAR
Cam Sims: Cut loose by Raiders
Sims was released by Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Sims spent five seasons as a depth receiver in Washington before signing a deal with the Raiders in March. However, the 27-year-old was not able to break through during his time with Las Vegas this preseason, and he'll once again become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2023 campaign. Sims recorded eight receptions (on 18 targets) for 89 yards across 17 appearances with the Commanders last season.
