Johnson was waived by the Packers on Sunday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

The wide receiver landed on Green Bay's practice squad in January and then signed another deal with the team in August, but he was not able to find a spot in a crowded receiver room led by Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden. Johnson caught four passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns in Green Bay's preseason finale against Arizona, helping the Packers overcome an 11-point deficit. The Western Kentucky product, who went undrafted in 2025, should at least get a practice-squad shot with Green Bay or another team.

The Bengals waived Moore on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Moore spent last season on Cincinnati's practice squad before signing a reserve/future contract with the team in January but was unable to earn a spot on the final roster. The 24-year-old could be a candidate to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Patterson was waived by the Buccaneers on Sunday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The wide receiver and Tampa Bay local from Steinbrenner High School signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech in May, and caught six passes for 56 yards during a preseason game against Kansas City and generally impressed with his route-running ability. Tampa just has a deep receiver room led by Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan. Patterson will likely join the Bucs' practice squad unless he's claimed by another team, per Auman.

Meyers has made the Bengals' initial 53-man roster, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

Meyers signed with the Bengals in January after spending the previous two years in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The 26-year-old wide receiver is expected to fill a depth role on offense and is an option as a return man on special teams.

Gosnell was waived by the Bills on Sunday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

The wide receiver signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in 2025, spent last season on the team's practice squad and then landed a reserve/future contract with the Bills in January. Buffalo is still hoping to retain Gosnell as part of its practice squad, per Skurski. The Virginia Tech product recorded 506 receiving yards and a touchdown in his final collegiate season in 2024.

Miller was released by the Bears on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

Miller has appeared in 93 regular-season games, split between the Buccaneers, Falcons and Steelers. The 29-year-old wide receiver will try to find an opening on another team's 53-man roster after failing to make Chicago's squad.

Marshall was released by the Dolphins on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Marshall, the No. 59 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has spent most of his career in Carolina, but he most recently saw action in Las Vegas during the 2024 campaign. In 43 regular-season games with the Panthers and Raiders, the 26-year-old has 67 catches (on 116 targets) for 808 yards and one touchdown. Marshall will presumably draw interest from a few NFL teams, though he likely won't see consistent action even if he lands with a new club.

Allen was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with DUI, FOX59 reports.

Per the report, Allen was arrested overnight in Indianapolis "on preliminary charges of (DWI) and DWI endangering a person." The Colts, via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, issued a statement saying, "We are aware of the incident involving Allen last night. We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

The Rams waived Edwards on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Edwards spent all of last season on Los Angeles' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with the organization in late January. He appeared in all three of the team's preseason contests, catching six of eight targets for 48 yards. Edwards won't make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's a candidate to return to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Steelers waived Wentz on Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Wentz initially signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in May but was cut in June and subsequently latched on with Pittsburgh. The Kansas product played in all three of the Steelers' preseason games but didn't do much, catching one of four targets for nine yards. Wentz could get a spot on the Steelers' practice squad in the likely scenario that he passes through waivers unclaimed.
