Nacua (groin) is practicing Sunday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Nacua made an early exit from the Rams' joint practice with the Cowboys on Aug. 11 and eventually was diagnosed with psoas soreness. Now almost three weeks removed from the initial injury, he's taking a step in the right direction by returning to drills. Los Angeles opens the season Thursday, Sept. 10 against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, a contest for which the team likely is aiming for him to be available.

Slayton is a member of the Giants' initial 53-man roster in 2026, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Slayton has made the cut ahead of his eighth campaign in New York. The wide receiver caught four of six targets for 58 yards while playing in all three preseason games this year. Slayton had a down year in 2025, recording 37 catches for 538 yards and one touchdown over 14 regular-season contests, all of which were his lowest totals since 2021. The 29-year-old appears to be on track to operate as one of New York's starting receivers on the outside, and he'll look to get back on track in 2026.

The Packers placed Williams (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Williams wasn't necessarily hampered by a health concern during training camp and the preseason, but an unknown injury will conspire to sideline him for at least the first four games of the campaign. Behind Green Bay's big three wide receivers Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden, the initial position group on the active roster also includes Skyy Moore, Bo Melton and undrafted rookie J. Michael Sturdivant. Williams' earliest possible time to make his season debut is Sunday, Oct. 11 versus the Bears.

Tyson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by New Orleans on Sunday.

Tyson has had recurring issues with his right hamstring, and the most recent flare-up is expected to result in two months on the sideline, so Sunday's transaction comes as no surprise. He'll be required to miss at least the first four games of the season, but considering the aforementioned recovery timeline, he likely will be out beyond Week 5. During Tyson's absence, Devaughn Vele and rookies Bryce Lance and Barion Brown will have opportunities for targets behind top WR Chris Olave.

The Seahawks waived Hicks on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hicks has now been waived by Seattle twice in the past two weeks after first signing with the team Aug. 17. The 26-year-old will look to catch on with another team and make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

Restrepo has made the Titans' initial 53-man roster, Arye Pulli reports Sunday.

Restrepo appeared in two games for the Titans in 2025 as a practice-squad elevation, totalling three receptions for 41 yards. The fan favorite has earned a place in the depths of the wide receiver corps and will likely have a shot to mix into starting packages throughout the regular season. Restrepo caught eight of his 13 targets for 97 yards over the Titans' three preseason games.

Osborn was released by the Titans on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Osborn was selected by the Vikings in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He had a few productive years in Minnesota, though he most recently appeared in seven regular-season games for the Patriots in 2024-25, when he caught seven passes (18 targets) for 57 yards and one touchdown. Osborn has plenty of NFL experience, so there's a chance he will find a new team. However, even if that happens, his statistical ceiling is limited.

The Browns waived Wilson on Sunday, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.

Wilson was facing an uphill battle to earn a roster spot after signing with Cleveland as an undrafted free agent in May. The 22-year-old will now look to find a new opportunity with another team, where he could add value both on offense and special teams.

The Broncos waived Ross on Sunday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Ross signed with the Broncos in early May as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia. The wide receiver participated in all three preseason games, catching five of his six targets for 29 yards. Ross will now be subject to waivers. If the 25-year-old goes unclaimed, the Broncos would like him to rejoin the team on the practice squad.

Dell (knee) will begin the season on IR with a designation to return, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dell continues to work his way back from the serious knee injury he suffered in December 2024. The promising news is that the wideout has progressed to working in team drills and is being allowed to progress at his own pace. Dell's placement on IR means he'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season, but the designation to return means he's expected to suit up at some point in 2026.
