The Chiefs waived De Jesus on Sunday, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

De Jesus played in all three preseason contests, hauling in three passes for 24 yards. The wide receiver was ultimately unable to make the 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers, there is a possibility he joins the Chiefs' practice squad for the beginning of the regular season.

The Bengals waived Jones on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Jones was competing to serve as the team's primary return specialist but ended up losing out on the role. The 2023 fourth-round pick failed to haul in his only target across 14 games with Cincinnati last season but managed to amass 1,084 kick-return yards and returned one kickoff for a touchdown. He will now look to catch on with another team.

Richardson was waived by the Bears on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

The wide receiver signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2025, got waived late in training camp, joined the practice squad for the regular season and dressed for one regular-season game. Richardson might end up on the practice squad again after falling short of the 53-man roster on a team with several options for depth receiver spots.

Valdes-Scantling was released by the Cowboys on Sunday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Valdes-Scantling was unable to secure a depth role in Dallas' top-heavy wide receiver room. With 116 games of regular-season NFL experience under his belt, plus 12 playoff contests, MVS could appeal to another team in search of a veteran presence that can stretch the field at wide receiver.

Tinsley was waived by the Bengals on Sunday, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

The wide receiver caught eight passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals in 2025. He also played on 123 special-teams snaps and agreed to a one-year extension with the team in January, but he fell short of the 53-man roster for 2026 after a competition with rookie fourth-round pick Colbie Young and former Canadian Football League player Dohnte Meyers. Tinsley has NFL experience and could find a home on the practice squad of either Cincinnati or another team.

The Packers waived Sheppard on Sunday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Sheppard spent the offseason competing for a depth role after signing a reserve/future contract with the team in January but was unable to earn a roster spot. The 2025 undrafted free agent spent last season on Green Bay's practice squad, where he could return for the upcoming campaign should he clear waivers.

The Colts waived Pancol on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Pancol spent time last season with both Jacksonville and Indianapolis' practice squads before signing a reserve/future contract with the Colts in January. The 2025 undrafted free agent will look to catch on with another team and make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

Sturdivant has made Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The undrafted free agent out of Florida impressed the coaching staff with 112 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Packers' preseason finale. Sturdivant is likely to be limited to a depth role out of the gate, as Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden seem secure in the top three spots on the wide receiver depth chart.

The Packers waived Neyor on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Neyor signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January but was unable to impress enough throughout the offseason to earn a roster spot. The 25-year-old spent last season on Green Bay's practice squad and could do so once again during the upcoming campaign should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Packers waived Prather on Sunday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Prather signed with the team in July but was unable to earn a roster spot. The 23-year-old was selected by the Bills in the seventh round of the 2025 Draft but ended up spending his rookie season in the UFL with the Louisville Kings. He will now look to catch on with another team and make his regular-season debut.
