New Orleans signed White to its practice squad Monday.

White was released Sunday after missing the cut for the Saints' initial 53-man roster, but they brought him back to fill a spot on the practice squad. With Alvin Kamara (knee) and Kendre Miller (undisclosed) both tending to injuries, White could potentially end up being a candidate for elevation as early as Week 1.

The Patriots signed Zylstra to the practice squad Wednesday.

The Bills cut Zylstra last Saturday. The tight end now joins up with the team's main divisional rival in the race for the AFC East title. The 29-year-old has played in 35 career regular-season games with the Lions, catching 18 balls for 136 yards and four touchdowns.

The Patriots signed Dorner to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots waived Dorner last Saturday in anticipation of last Sunday's cutdown day. The wide receiver cleared waivers and has chosen to stay with the team on the practice squad. The undrafted free agent out of North Texas participated in all three preseason games, catching four of his five targets for 37 yards.

The Patriots signed Dixon to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots waived Dixon last Saturday in preparation for last Sunday's cutdown day. The wide receiver cleared waivers and has returned to the team on the practice squad. The undrafted free agent out of Culver-Stockton played in the final two preseason games for the Patriots, catching all 10 of his targets for 81 yards.

The Patriots signed Haskins to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots cut Haskins last Saturday in anticipation of Sunday's cutdown day. The running back rejoined the team Monday and will compete with Lan Larison for the primary running back role with the practice squad. Haskins participated in all three preseason games, rushing 20 times for 69 yards.

The Patriots signed Larison to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots waived Larison during Sunday's cut-down day. The running back cleared waivers and will once again rejoin the team that took a chance on him as an undrafted free agent out of UC Davis in 2025. Larison spent the entirety of the 2025 season on the Patriots' IR with a foot issue. The 24-year-old's first shot at an NFL regular-season game could come in 2026 if he is chosen to be elevated or signed to the active roster at any point.

Adams didn't suit up for any of the Rams' three-game preseason schedule.

After logging at least 1,000 receiving yards six times in seven seasons between 2018 and 2024, Adams put together just 789 such yards in his age-33 campaign last year over 14 regular-season games, though he did miss three contest due to a hamstring injury. He salvaged his season with an NFL-leading 14 touchdown catches, displaying an incredible rapport with QB Matthew Stafford. With the Rams' top WR, Puka Nacua, still tending to psoas soreness a week before the team's Week 1 matchup with the 49ers next Thursday, Sept. 10, Adams effectively could be Stafford's No. 1 target out of the gate if Nacua isn't 100 percent.

Flournoy is listed as the Cowboys' third wide receiver on the depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Lamb, Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson each saw 100-plus targets from Dak Prescott last season, and each of those three pass catchers should see a similar workload in 2026. Flournoy, a sixth-round selection of the Cowboys in the 2024 NFL Draft, saw his offensive production jump in his sophomore campaign, finishing with 40 catches (on 56 targets) for 475 yards and four touchdowns across 16 regular-season games. The Cowboys' offense ranked second in the NFL last season in passing yards per game, and Flournoy would be in line for a bigger workload if one of Lamb, Pickens or Ferguson were to miss time. One of Flournoy's best performances in 2025 was in Week 5 against the Jets, when he caught six passes (on nine targets) for 114 yards in a game that Lamb didn't play in due to an ankle injury.

The Buccaneers waived Williams (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Williams spent just two days on injured reserve before being waived. The 28-year-old will now look to get back to full health and find a new opportunity with another team.

Mason and Aaron Jones are listed as co-starting running backs on the Vikings' unofficial depth chart following cutdown day Sunday, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.

The 49ers dealt Mason to Minnesota in March 2025, and the pairing of him and Jones meant a split backfield last season, with the former getting 173 touches to the latter's 160 along the way. Jones did play in four fewer games than Mason (12 vs. 16), but Mason handled far more carries inside the 20-yard line (29 vs. 14), finishing with six TDs to Jones' three. A similar breakdown of work is expected for the duo in 2026, meaning Mason may have the safer fantasy floor of the two.
