The Eagles waived Gibson (ankle) with an injury settlement Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Gibson spent more than a week on injured reserve prior to this move. Once he gets back to full health, the West Virginia product will have the opportunity to sign elsewhere and fight for a depth receiver role.

Coach Pete Carroll labeled Metcalf (knee) as week-to-week after the wideout recently underwent "minimal surgery" with "minimal findings," Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Though there's not yet a specific timetable for the rookie's return, Carroll optimistically noted that he didn't "have any concern that [Metcalf] won't get back soon." At this stage, Metcalf doesn't look like he'll be ready to go for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener versus the Bengals, though his absence may not stretch much longer beyond that if he progresses as Carroll anticipates. For however long Metcalf is out, Jaron Brown and David Moore should see added opportunities in the Seattle offense alongside top wideout Tyler Lockett.

Coach Bruce Arians confirmed that Evans (quadriceps/groin) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Browns, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Evans has missed practiced all week due to what Tom Pelissero of NFL.com suggests is a "minor quad or groin issue" that isn't viewed as a long-term concern. When healthy, Evans is entrenched as the Bucs' top wideout, with Chris Godwin slated to start opposite him in 2019.

Conley is slated to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Dolphins, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Conley will make his preseason debut along with Dede Westbrook, while Marquise Lee (knee) will remain sidelined. An offseason pickup from the Chiefs, Conley remains firmly in the mix for a starting receiver job in his first season in Jacksonville.

Jones (undisclosed) was a limited practice participant Tuesday, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.

Jones was held out of last weekend's preseason loss to the Texans with the unspecified injury before returning to practice Monday. He'll likely be held out of Friday's exhibition against Buffalo, though he hasn't actually been ruled out yet. With Danny Amendola (undisclosed) also banged up, the Lions signed Jordan Lasley on Tuesday to help with wideout depth.

Evans (quadriceps) isn't at practice Wednesday, making him unlikely to play in Friday's preseason game against Cleveland, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Unable to finish Sunday's practice, Evans now is absent from work for a third straight day. Coach Bruce Arians wasn't worried about the injury Monday, even leaving open the possibility of Evans playing in Friday's exhibition. That probably won't actually happen, but it's a good sign Arians even viewed it as an option.

Miller signed a contract with the Browns on Wednesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Miller was waived by the Eagles on Saturday and will now work to catch on as a depth asset and special-teams contributor in Cleveland. The 2016 third-round pick racked up 34 catches for 261 yards with the Texans in 2016 and 2017, but has not seen work in a regular-season game since.

Beckham (hip) isn't practicing Wednesday and isn't likely to play in Friday's preseason game at Tampa Bay, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Beckham's bruised hip first cropped up a week ago, holding Beckham out of each subsequent practice as well as a preseason win over Washington. He downplayed the injury last week, saying he'd be fine to play if it were the regular season. Beckham's continued absence should free up extra first-team reps Friday for some combination of Rashard Higgins, Jaelen Strong and Derrick Willies.

Coutee (ankle) remained sidelined during practice Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.

Limited by a series of hamstring injuries his rookie season, Coutee seemed to stay healthy throughout the offseason program and early part of training camp, only to sprain his ankle during the Texans' preseason opener Aug. 8. He was held out of last week's exhibition against the Lions and doesn't appear to have any shot at returning for Saturday's matchup with the Cowboys. An earlier report suggested his ankle injury was minor, but it's now been nearly two weeks and he still hasn't been spotted on the practice field.

Tolliver signed a contract with Kansas City on Tuesday.

Tolliver entered training camp with the Titans but was waived by the team earlier in August. The 23-year-old played in three games with the Cardinals in 2018, catching three of six targets for 37 yards.
