The Jets placed Charles (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

Charles will be required to miss a minimum of four games to start the 2025 season after being placed on the reserve/PUP list. The 28-year-old wideout tore his ACL in Week 14 last season and is not ready to return to the field as he continues to recover.

Smith-Marsette was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

Smith-Marsette re-signed with the Giants in March after spending the 2024 campaign with the team, serving as the team's primary return man. The wide receiver recorded two catches for seven yards, a six-yard run, three punt returns for 30 yards and 46 yards on two kickoff returns over two preseason games in 2025. Considering his ability as a special-teams asset, Smith-Marsette will likely find another suitor in the near future.

The Vikings waived Thomas on Tuesday.

Thomas spent the past two seasons on the Vikings' practice squad and could be headed for the same role in 2025. The 27-year-old caught five passes for 27 yards this preseason.

The Vikings waived Jackson on Tuesday.

Jackson was targeted 11 times through three preseason games but turned in just five receptions for 49 yards. Despite dealing with multiple injuries at wide receiver, the Vikings cut Jackson loose in favor of Tim Jones and undrafted rookie Myles Price. Jackson is a candidate for the practice squad where he spent the 2024 season.

Cunningham was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Cunningham was unable to make the 53-man roster, as a quiet preseason likely led to the Ravens moving on from the wideout. The 26-year-old caught his lone target this preseason for minus-three yards. Cunningham spent the entire 2024 season on Baltimore's practice squad, so he could sign with the practice squad again if he does not make another team's roster ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Ravens released Miller on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

A 2018 second-round pick, Miller has mostly bounced around on practice squads over the previous four seasons, playing just five regular-season games and reeling in seven passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. However, he played two postseason games for the Ravens last season and caught all four targets for 28 yards on 17 offensive snaps. Miller has a good chance to stick around on the practice squad while he awaits his next opportunity.

The Ravens released Kirkwood on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Kirkwood spent the 2024 season on the Ravens' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for just one game, although he was a healthy scratch. His last NFL action was in 2023 with the Saints when he caught five passes for 37 yards and a touchdown through 13 games.

The Ravens placed Wade (ribs) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Wade underwent surgery to repair a rib injury that he suffered during the Ravens' preseason finale against the Commanders on Saturday. The 24-year-old wideout will focus on rehab and recovery and aim to be fully healthy for OTAs and minicamp in the spring.

Guillory (collarbone) was waived by the Ravens with an injury settlement Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Guillory broke his clavicle during the Ravens' preseason finale and is facing an extended absence. The undrafted rookie was blanked through the first two preseason games but caught three passes for 17 yards in the finale before getting hurt. Once he's healthy, he'll likely seek a practice-squad role.

Grimm was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.

Grimm signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in April, reeling in four catches for 34 yards and a touchdown over three preseason games. Additionally, the wide receiver returned five punts for 77 yards and a score. If Grimm goes unclaimed on waivers, there's a chance he sticks around with the Chargers' practice squad, otherwise he'll likely get another opportunity elsewhere in the near future.
