Darius Lassiter WR | JAC
Darius Lassiter: Doesn't land roster spot
The Jaguars waived Lassiter on Tuesday.
Lassiter originally signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in late April and was then waived before re-signing with the club last Wednesday. He won't make the team's initial roster but is a candidate for a practice-squad spot.

Kristian Wilkerson WR | BUF
Kristian Wilkerson: Hits waivers
The Bills released Wilkerson on Tuesday.
Wilkerson has played in nine games since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2020, recording six receptions for 60 yards and three touchdowns in that span. The 28-year-old hasn't shown enough on special teams to make the final roster, but he'll aim to secure a spot on the practice squad.

Deon Cain WR | BUF
Deon Cain: Cut loose by Bills
The Bills released Cain on Tuesday.
Cain spent part of the 2024 season on the Bills' practice squad but never suited up for a game. The 29-year-old hasn't played an NFL snap since the 2020 season, although he has played in the USFL and UFL the last three springs and was highly productive. Cain will be a candidate for the practice squad once again.

River Cracraft WR | WAS
River Cracraft: Released by Washington
Cracraft was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Cracraft signed with Washington on Aug. 14 and failed to record any stats with the team during the preseason. The wide receiver played in eight regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2024, catching seven of nine targets for 66 yards, and he will likely find another suitor in the near future.

K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
K.J. Osborn: Cut by Washington
Osborn was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Osborn will hit free agency after compiling five receptions for 35 yards while appearing in all three preseason games with Washington. The wide receiver played in eight regular-season contests with the Patriots and Commanders in 2024, catching seven of 18 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. Osborn will likely find another opportunity in the near future.

Landon Parker WR | IND
Landon Parker: Fails to crack 53-man roster
The Colts waived Parker on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Parker inked a contract with the Colts in late April as an undrafted free agent. The Troy product played in all three preseason games but finished with just two catches (on four targets) for 12 yards while adding an assisted tackle. Parker will likely clear waivers, at which point he'll explore signing with a team in need of wide receiver depth on the practice squad.

Maurice Alexander WR | CHI
Maurice Alexander: Sent to waivers by Bears
Chicago waived Alexander on Tuesday.
Alexander boasts familiarity with Bears coach Ben Johnson's offensive scheme, as he spent the last three seasons with Detroit, but that won't be enough to earn him a spot on the initial 53-man roster. It could make Alexander a leading candidate to resurface on the practice squad, though.

Coleman Owen WR | IND
Coleman Owen: Cut by Indianapolis
The Colts waived Owen on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Owen signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May and entered training camp competing for a depth spot at wide receiver. He led all Colts receivers in catches (13) and targets (16) while finishing second in yards (124) with a touchdown across three preseason games, but it wasn't enough for the Ohio product to crack the team's 53-man roster. Still, Owen showed enough during training camp and the preseason to garner interest from teams looking to add wide receiver depth through the waiver wire. If he clears waivers, Owen would be a candidate to return to the Colts as a member of the practice squad.

Miles Boykin WR | CHI
Miles Boykin: Let go by Chicago
The Bears released Boykin on Tuesday.
Boykin put together a strong training camp and preseason with Chicago, but he was always facing an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster due to the team's depth at wide receiver. He'll be a candidate to end up on the Bears' practice squad.

Chandler Brayboy WR | JAC
Chandler Brayboy: Doesn't make initial roster
The Jaguars waived Brayboy on Tuesday.
Brayboy inked a deal with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in late April and appeared in all three of the team's preseason contests, but he didn't catch any of his four targets. The 24-year-old was added to the CFL's Edmonton Elks' negotiation list Tuesday.
