The Seahawks waived Melton on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Melton secured seven of 15 targets for 89 yards through three preseason games, and he could be a candidate to resurface on Seattle's practice squad. The rookie seventh-round pick recorded a 4.34 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.

The 49ers waived Martin on Tuesday.

Martin joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in May following a strong senior season at Oklahoma State. However, he was unable to land a spot as a depth receiver ahead of the 2022 campaign.

The Eagles waived Covey on Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

Covey sustained a hand injury during the Eagles' preseason opener but recovered in time for the next exhibition game. He'll now be forced to seek out other opportunities prior to the regular season.

The Eagles waived Hightower on Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

Hightower dealt with a groin injury early in training camp and didn't play in the Eagles' preseason opener, but he was on the field for the team's final two exhibition matchups. While the 2020 fifth-rounder seems to have moved past his injury, he was unable to secure a spot on Philadelphia's 53-man roster.

Johnson (ankle) was placed on the Broncos' injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Johnson was likely set to miss significant time after he picked up a high-ankle sprain during Denver's preseason finale against the Vikings on Saturday. As a result, the Broncos will look to stash the 24-year-old wideout on injured reserve with his earliest return date set for the start of the 2023 campaign, barring any injury settlement with the team.

Shemar (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Shemar appears to have picked up an injury in the past week, thus leading Baltimore to let him go as part of the team's final roster trimming Tuesday. As a result, the undrafted free agent will likely pass through waivers unclaimed before reverting to the Ravens' injured reserve.

The Patriots placed Wilkerson (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Wilkerson sustained a concussion during a joint practice with the Panthers in mid-August. He'll be forced to miss the entire 2022 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with New England.

The Eagles have placed Ward (toe) on their injured reserve, Chris McPherson of the team's official website reports.

Ward was originally expected to be waived with an injury settlement, but it looks like both parties were able to come to terms on one. So, he will spend the remainder of the season on the IR unless both parties ultimatley agree on one.

Zuber was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday.

Zuber was competing for a role providing depth at wide receiver and ultimately came up short. He will now have a chance to potentially land on the practice squad if he clears waivers or else he will need to look for a new landing spot.

The Titans waived Kinsey on Tuesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Kinsey made his NFL debut with the Titans last year, playing five total snaps (three offensive). Per McCormick, Kinsey is a likely candidate to join Tennessee's practice squad if he clears waivers.
