Slayton, who has been the subject of trade talks in recent days, has made the Giants' initial 53-man roster, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Slayton remains on the team for now, but the Giants could still opt to trade him before the season or even after the campaign begins. "We'll see where we're at right now," coach Brian Daboll said when asked whether he expects Slayton to be on the team come Week 1. "He's done a good job and we're excited to have him.''

Duvernay (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Duvernay was sidelined during the preseason but has plenty of time to work his way back into game shape before Baltimore's Sept. 11 season opener against the Jets. He's the leading candidate to start at wide receiver opposite Rashod Bateman while also serving as the Ravens' top return man on special teams.

Proche (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Proche has been dealing with a soft tissue injury, but he returned to practice after missing a couple weeks. With nearly two full weeks left before Baltimore's Sept. 11 season opener against the Jets, he has plenty of time to get back up to speed.

Fountain was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Fountain was a surprising cut Tuesday, failing to make the final roster after catching six passes for 87 yards in three games this preseason. The wide receiver is a likely candidate to return the Chiefs' practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Broncos waived Hinton on Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Hinton appeared in 16 games for the Broncos last season, catching 15 of 23 targets for 175 yards and a score. However, he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. Per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News, Hinton is a likely candidate to land on Denver's practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Rams waived Harris on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Harris didn't play in the team's preseason opener due to a groin injury but caught five of eight targets for 27 yards during the final two exhibition games. However, the 6-foot-5 wideout finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline.

Johnson was cut by the Falcons on Tuesday, Mike Rothstein of ESPN reports.

Johnson was brought in during training camp after being waived by the 49ers, but he failed to win a roster spot in an underwhelming Atlanta receiving corps. Atlanta may opt to put him on the practice squad if Johnson passes through waivers unclaimed.

Erickson was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Erickson is the odd-man out at wide receiver after the Commanders cut down their roster Tuesday. The 29-year-old has a great amount of experience at both wide receiver and return specialist, making him a likely candidate to get picked up by another squad this season.

The Dolphins released Cracraft on Tuesday.

Cracraft signed with Miami in February, but he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The Washington State product has appeared in 24 NFL contests across four seasons, catching seven of 11 targets for 85 yards. He'll have to look for a new NFL opportunity elsewhere.

White was waived by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

White failed to make the final roster after spending 15 games with the Steelers in 2021. The wide receiver caught five passes for 33 yards last season and will likely return to the Steelers' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
