The Colts waived Adams on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Adams rejoined the Colts on Aug. 17 after being waived by the team in June. He failed to record a catch in two preseason games and will have to look elsewhere for an opportunity to catch on to a practice squad.

The Giants released Mickens on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Mickens signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants in January after joining their practice squad in December. He managed to record four catches for 41 yards in three preseason games but it wasn't enough to crack into a crowded wide receiver room headlined by Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Goodwin (illness) will come off the non-football illness list Sunday and return to practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Goodwin was placed on the active/non-football illness list by the Browns in mid-July after he was diagnosed with blood clots in his legs and lungs. Given the issue potentially was career ending, it's a great sign to see the wideout cleared to resume football activities. However, Goodwin still has an uphill battle to land a spot on the initial 53-man roster, as the only locks at wideout are Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Cedric Tillman, leaving Goodwin to compete with David Bell, Jaelon Darden (leg), Anthony Schwartz (hamstring) and Austin Watkins.

The Bills waived Coulter on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Coulter joined Buffalo on a reserve/future contract in January after being let go by the Cardinals. He missed a portion of training camp with a knee injury and failed to record a catch across the Bills' three preseason games.

Sills caught six of nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.

The Giants sat out most of their starters in the contest, giving Sills ample opportunity to make a final case for a roster spot. He performed well, leading the team in targets, catches and yards while hauling in the only receiving TD on a 30-yard heave from Tommy DeVito with less than a minute left in the game. Despite the standout performance, Sills remains a long shot for a spot on the initial 53-man roster given the Giants' crowded receiver room.

Bell could start the season as high as fourth on the wide receiver depth chart after multiple San Francisco wideouts suffered injuries this preseason.

Ray-Ray McCloud -- San Francisco's fourth receiver and return specialist -- will miss the first two months of the regular season after injuring his wrist in the 49ers' second preseason game. Danny Gray (shoulder) and Chris Conley (shoulder) popped up on the injury report after the team's final preseason tilt, leaving Bell as the healthiest option to potentially fill in for McCloud this year. The seventh-round pick ripped off a couple of big gains in exhibition play, but he also fumbled twice (one lost) in limited action. Bell may be forced into a bigger role than expected, but he won't see much action on offense with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all ready for Week 1.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Sunday that Evans has been dealing with a groin injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reported that Evans was in line to see his first game action with Baker Mayfield during Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens, but the dynamic wideout ultimately never took the field. It appears that decision was out of an abundance of caution, as Bowles added Evans didn't need to play Saturday and would've been okay to suit up if it had been a regular season game. Either way, Evans' groin injury, whether minor or not, is a storyline worth following with just two weeks left before Tampa Bay opens the 2023 campaign in Minnesota.

Davis (undisclosed) was released from the hospital Sunday morning and will travel home to Miami with team personnel.

After a scary collision late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's preseason finale, Davis had to be placed on a backboard and carted off the field. He was then transported to a local Jacksonville hospital, and shortly after that, the Dolphins released a statement saying Davis "is conscious and has movement in all extremities." The wideout appears to have avoided a catastrophic injury, but it's unclear when he'll be able to put a helmet on again.

Brooks recorded one catch on two targets for 11 yards in Saturday's 31-16 preseason win over the Raiders.

Brooks saw both of his targets on Dallas' first drive and played eight of 11 snaps with the game's starters on the field. His quiet performance could actually mean good things for his chances to make the roster, as the Cowboys rested the top four receivers on their depth chart and Brooks exited early in the contest. Even if he makes the roster, he'll at best be the fifth wide receiver, so he isn't likely to make a significant offensive impact.

Mims brought in both targets for 51 yards and rushed once for three yards in the Broncos' 41-0 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday night. He also returned one punt for 19 yards.

Mims drew the start alongside Lil'Jordan Humphrey and provided a 50-yard grab on his second and final catch, a play that was originally deemed a 75-yard touchdown until replays showed the rookie was down by contact. Mims' strong finish to preseason is fitting considering he's set to open the season in perhaps an elevated role opposite Courtland Sutton due to Jerry Jeudy's hamstring injury.
