Kansas City waived Lipscomb on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Chiefs prioritized Lipscomb as an undrafted free agent back in April, when he inked a contract with $110,000 guaranteed. He's a likely candidate to resurface on the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Moore is present on the team's 53-man roster following Saturday's cutdown.

This move comes as a bit of a surprise considering the Chargers typically don't roster more than five wide receivers in any given year. Moore beat out veteran Darius Jennings and previous practice squad standout Tyron Johnson for the sixth and final spot among the wide receivers, though a rash of injuries would need to occur before Moore becomes fantasy relevant.

Johnson was waived Saturday by the Chargers.

The final wide receiver spot on the depth chart was ultimately awarded to Jason Moore, though Johnson theoretically played well enough to earn a practice squad invitation should he pass through waivers unclaimed.

The Raiders traded Bowden and a sixth-round pick to the Dolphins in exchange for a fourth-round selection Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The move is a surprising one after the Raiders invested a 2020 third-rounder for the Kentucky product back in April. Bowden was a wide receiver in college until last season, when he was called upon to play quarterback. Upon joining Las Vegas, he was expected to play running back but was discussed as a potential wildcat QB as well. Now, the Raiders have decided to move on. With the Dolphins, Bowden could again get some run as a receiver, but his most likely path to reps right away is as a kick returner.

Cincinnati waived Irwin on Saturday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Irwin suited up for one contest with the Bengals last season, during which he wasn't targeted. He's a candidate to reemerge on the practice squad.

The Broncos waived Benson on Saturday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Benson initially inked with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, but the team's crowded wideout room now leaves him without a spot. He could be a candidate to once again latch on to Denver's practice squad.

Winfree (groin) was waived by the Broncos on Saturday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.comreports.

The Broncos invested significant draft capital this past offseason in re-tooling their wide receiver corps, so it's not surprising to see the 2019 sixth-round pick hit waivers. Expect Winfree to possibly return to the team as part of the practice squad should he pass through waivers.

The Titans waived Wilkerson on Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Southeast Missouri State could be a candidate for the practice squad, provided that he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Samuel (foot) may be activated from the active/non-football injury list prior to a Week 1 matchup with the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

While taking part in joint workouts with his teammates in Nashville back in June, Samuel suffered what eventually was deemed to be a Jones fracture in his left foot. He underwent surgery and was expected to require 10-to-12 weeks to recover fully, putting his availability for the season opener in jeopardy. Having said that, Samuel was seen sprinting on a side field in late August, and there's potential for the second-year wide receiver to practice during Week 1 prep. As a result, his status should be watched closely over the next week.

The Chargers and Allen agreed to a four-year, $80 million extension Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After Allen puts pen to paper on the deal, he'll become the second-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL behind only Julio Jones (while tying Amari Cooper in AAV). Allen is working without Philip Rivers for the first time in his career in 2020, but the 28-year-old still has a clear path to significant targets, whether they come from Tyrod Taylor or rookie first-round pick Justin Herbert.
