St. Brown (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday and will miss the entire 2019 season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

St. Brown could have been brought back at some point if he would have been included on the initial 53-man roster prior to being placed on injured reserve, but the Packers have decided to shut him down for the entire season after the receiver was only initially expected to miss four to six weeks. St. Brown being held off the roster creates room for former undrafted free agent Darrius Shepherd.

Miller was released by the Browns on Saturday.

Miller was fighting for a depth role after joining the Browns three weeks into August but was unable to make the 53-man roster. Having already been waived by the Eagles earlier in training camp, the receiver will try to find another opportunity to join an NFL roster.

Taylor (foot) has been ruled out of the 49ers' Week 1 matchup with Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor's status comes as little surprise after coach Kyle Shanahan said the wideout was doubtful for Week 1 while he continues to recover from his surgery three weeks ago. Deebo Samuel will figure to see some extra snaps while Taylor is out.

Wilson was waived by the Cowboys on Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Wilson spent his rookie season on IR in 2018 after tearing his labrum but he looked promising in his first full training camp with the Cowboys. The team reportedly will add Wilson to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed in the waiver process.

McBride was waived by the Jaguars on Saturday, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.

McBride was looking to earn a depth receiving role, but ultimately failed to make enough of an impression at camp. He is not eligible to be picked up on the team's practice squad, so he will be forced to look for a new opportunity.

The Seahawks waived Ferguson on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Although Ferguson had a productive preseason, he was unable to land a spot on the Seattle's 53-man roster. If he does not get claimed off waivers he will presumably be offered a spot on the team's practice squad.

The Redskins released Quick on Saturday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Despite the whittled state of this receiving corps, Quick finds himself out of a job. The veteran wideout will seek out employment elsewhere.

The Chiefs waived Thompson on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Chiefs had a couple depth receiving roles up for grabs, but Thompson was competing with more than a handful of other pass catchers for the opportunity. Ultimately, the undrafted rookie out of Toledo was unable to show enough during camp for the job. He remains a candidate for the team's practice squad should he clear waivers.

The Redskins cut Sims on Saturday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

The fact that Sims is looking for a new team comes as a bit of a surprise, considering he had been the frontrunner for the final receiver spot throughout the preseason. The Alabama product could be a viable option for another team looking to bolster their receiving corps this season.

The Bills cut McCloud on Saturday, Ryan Talbot of NY Upstate reports.

McCloud was hoping to take a step forward in his second year, after he played just 10 games last season, hauling in five passes for 36 yards. The fact that he can contribute in the punt and kick return games only adds to his value to find another team elsewhere, an opportunity he might get given that he had a strong preseason. McCloud is also a prime practice squad candidate for the Bills.
