  • Panthers' Laviska Shenault: Returns to field

    Shenault is donning the red, no-contact jersey during practice Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Shenault is currently working his way through the league's concussion protocols and seems to be making solid progress in doing so with his return to the practice field. The fourth-year pro is expected to keep his spot on the roster and earn a depth role in the team's receiving corps.

  • Matt Landers WR | TEN

    Matt Landers: Won't make team

    Landers was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Landers joined Seattle as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas. He dealt with a quadriceps injury during camp, which could have slowed his chances, but he was likely always facing an uphill battle to make the squad.

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Practices in limited fashion

    Marshall (back) returned to practice Tuesday as a limited participant, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Coach Frank Reich said Marshall didn't participate fully but that his reps were "enough... a good first step," per Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site. DJ Chark (hamstring) did rehab work Tuesday, while Laviska Shenault (concussion) was able to take the field in a red non-contact jersey. If Marshall manages to return for Week 1's match against the Falcons but Chark remains sidelined, he could start the season as one of Carolina's top three wideouts.

  • Jalen Guyton WR | LV

    Chargers' Jalen Guyton: Starting year on PUP list

    The Chargers placed Guyton (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

    Guyton won't be eligible to return until after the first four games of the regular season have concluded, though his shift to the reserve/PUP list was expected. The Chargers have little incentive to rush Guyton's recovery along, as the team can rely on all of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer and first-round pick Quentin Johnston to headline Justin Herbert's WR corps.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Panthers' DJ Chark: Limited to rehab work

    Chark (hamstring) did some work inside during Tuesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    It's a sign of progress but not the same as actually practicing with his teammates. Chark missed the last two weeks of the preseason after working with the starters in the opener, and if his absence continues into the regular season it could free up a top-three role for Terrace Marshall (back) for Week 1 at Atlanta.

  • Trent Taylor WR | SF

    Trent Taylor: Cut by Bengals

    Cincinnati is slated to release Taylor on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Taylor was effective for the Bengals last season, when he recorded a career-high 340 punt return yards across 16 appearances. His release is somewhat surprising, and may speak to what the team saw from Charlie Jones and/or Kwamie Lassiter during the preseason.

  • Justyn Ross WR | KC

    Chiefs' Justyn Ross: Secures roster spot

    Ross has made Kansas City's initial 53-man roster, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Ross' roster spot is intact as the initial 53-man roster deadline approaches. Though the defending champs will certainly make a number of further transactions, it looks like the former Clemson star has earned a role in Kansas City's wideout room to begin the regular season. Ross lost his rookie year to a foot injury, but enters his second season fully healthy and ready to compete for snaps with Kadarius Toney (knee), Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore and Rashee Rice.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Limited in practice

    Waddle (abdomen) was at practice Tuesday but didn't have a helmet during the media-access portion, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    The Dolphins still have more than a week to go before they need to release their first official injury report ahead of a Week 1 road game against the Chargers. It's been about three weeks now since Waddle first left practice early with a midsection injury that ended up keeping him out of preseason action. Recent appearances in practice, even on a limited basis, suggest he's on track for Week 1.

  • Duece Watts WR | PIT

    Duece Watts: Won't make the cut

    Watts is being waived by the Packers on Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Watts linked up with Green Bay on April 30 after going undrafted out of Tulane. Ultimately, the 6-foot-2 wideout was unable to stake a claim to a depth receiver role on the 53-man roster.

  • Jerome Kapp WR | NYJ

    Jerome Kapp: Won't make team

    Kapp was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Kapp was working to make the team after joining them in May as an undrafted free agent out of Kutztown, upon impressing during an invite to the rookie minicamp. It's unclear if he is considered a practice squad contender.
