The Ravens signed Moore to the practice squad Sunday, Tadd Haislop of SportingNews.com reports.

Moore was let go amid roster cuts after having spent the offseason in Baltimore. The Tennessee-Martin product will now get a chance to continue learning on the practice squad.

Hopkins (hamstring) agreed Tuesday with the Cardinals on a two-year, $54.5 million contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Now locked up through the 2024 season, Hopkins' annual average salary of $27.25 million makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. He'll receive a $27.5 million signing bonus and take home $42.75 million guaranteed in the new deal, which also includes a no-trade clause. The Cardinals' big financial commitment is a deserved reward for Hopkins, who earned first-team All-Pro honors in each of his final three years with the Texans before being traded in March. While serving as the top target in a Kyler Murray-led Arizona offense that is expected to run one of the NFL's fastest tempos, Hopkins should have a good chance at reaching 1,500 receiving yards for the third time in his career.

St. Brown is listed as the backup at two wide receiver spots on the unofficial depth chart released by the Packers on Monday night.

St. Brown missed the entire 2019 season after injuring his ankle in the preseason, but he is ready to get back on the field in 2020 and will essentially open as the Packers' fourth receiver. That won't lead to much of a target share for him early on, but he will be in position to play a bigger role should Allen Lazard and/or Marquez Valdes-Scantling falter.

Bowden, whom the Dolphins acquired from the Raiders on Saturday, is expected to serve primarily as a receiver during his rookie season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Wolfe notes that Bowden will wear jersey No. 15 for Miami, which supports the notion that he'll be playing receiver rather than running back, where the Raiders had planned for him to begin his career. Though Las Vegas surprisingly chose to move on from the rookie third-round pick out of Kentucky, Bowden's athleticism and versatility could make him a useful weapon for Miami once he's able to gain familiarity with offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's scheme. During his final season of college, Bowden played both wide receiver and quarterback, serving mostly as a running threat at the latter position while rarely throwing the ball.

Parker (hamstring) is taking part in Tuesday's practice, donning full pads while wearing a white compression sleeve over his left thigh/hamstring area, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

According to Josh Tolentino of The Athletic, Parker is practicing in full uniform for the first time in two weeks, a positive sign for his chances of being available in Sunday's season opener at New England. The Dolphins won't release their first 2020 injury report until Wednesday, so it won't be known until that time whether Parker is practicing on a full or limited basis. Assuming he gains clearance for Week 1, Parker should represent the clear top threat in the passing game for Miami after he broke out in 2019 with 72 receptions for 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns while playing all 16 games for the first time in his career.

The Packers list Valdes-Scantling as their No. 3 receiver on their first unofficial depth chart heading into Sunday's season opener at Minnesota, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Though his chances of cracking a regular role in the Packers' three-receiver formations increased greatly after Devin Funchess opted out of the 2020 season, Valdes-Scantling still had to earn a starting role in training camp. He appears to have done just that, beating out Equanimeous St. Brown and Malik Taylor for the No. 3 job. Even if Valdes-Scantling resumes handling the 60-plus percent snap share he routinely enjoyed in the first half of the 2019 season, he'll still likely be a tertiary option in the passing game behind top wideouts Davante Adams and Allen Lazard and running back Aaron Jones.

Agnew is listed as a running back and a wide receiver on the Lions' initial 53-man roster.

The Lions initially used Agnew at cornerback for the first couple years of his professional career, but they switched him to offense this offseason and the team apparently likes what he can do with the ball in his hands, which isn't really a surprise given Agnew's proficiency as a return man. While he may not get consistent touches at either wide receiver or running back given Detroit's depth at each position, his versatility could come in handy on gadget plays.

Aiyuk (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's team practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that he still hoped Aiyuk would return to practice soon after suffering a mild hamstring strain Aug. 23, but the rookie wideout remains sidelined on the first day of organized team activities this week. The team didn't offer much of a concrete update on either Aiyuk or fellow playmaker Deebo Samuel (foot), but expect to see a clearer picture of what the 49ers' starting wideout corps will look like as we progress later in the practice week. Kendrick Bourne, Dante Pettis and Trent Taylor could all see boosts in snaps if either or both of the talented young receivers is unable to suit up Sunday against Arizona.

Samuel (foot) did not participate in Monday's practice, but a decision regarding his status for Week 1 could be made in the coming days, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

We got some positive news regarding Samuel when the team lifted him from the NFI list this past weekend, and it sounds like Week 1 remains in play. Team officials have flip-flopped on the sophomore's status following offseason foot surgery in June, but they will bring in foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson to be a part of the decision-making process Tuesday, which should help provide a clearer picture of the wideout's availability.

McKenzie survived the Bills' roster cutdown Saturday and looks to begin the season as the team's No. 5 wide receiver.

McKenzie eked out Duke Williams and a few others, his biggest assets being he's a good special teams player and that he can run jet sweeps -- a play the Buffalo offense sometimes uses multiple times in the same game -- as good as just about anyone in the league. That said, his upside is about 30 catches for a team with a pretty talented receiving corps led by Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley.
