Rowan was signed to the practice squad with New Orleans on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Rowan was waived by the Broncos on Aug. 29 and he ultimately went unclaimed on the open market. He will now get an opportunity to prove himself with the Saints as an additional depth option for the team at wide receiver ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Oliver was cut from the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Oliver joined Cleveland's practice squad Wednesday, but he will now hit the open market again. Fellow wide receiver Bub Means was added to the practice squad in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Means was signed to Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Means was cut loose by the Saints on August 29 after spending the first two-plus seasons of his career with the team. The wide receiver was selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by New Orleans and he spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a lower-leg injury during the preseason. Means will look to prove himself with Cleveland and earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this fall.

Nacua (core) was not listed on the injury report the Rams released Tuesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.

Nacua has been slowed since picking up a core muscle injury nearly a month ago, but he will avoid the injury report altogether in advance of Week 1. With Nacua seemingly at full speed, expect him to fill his usual role when the Rams kick off their season against the 49ers in Australia.

Moore will operate as the Packers' primary retuner on both kicks and punts to open the regular season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Moore inked a one-year deal with Green Bay in March, and he'll step in as the team's go-to option on both kicks and punts. The wide receiver notched 907 kickoff-return yards and 291 yards as a punt returner over 17 regular-season contests with San Francisco last year. Moore has combined to catch five of 10 targets for 87 yards over the last two campaigns, so he doesn't carry much fantasy value in 2026.

Stribling (shoulder) was not listed on the injury report the 49ers released Tuesday, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Stribling was slowed by a shoulder injury for a couple weeks, but it apparently is no longer an issue, as he did not draw a mention on the first injury report the 49ers put out in advance of Week 1. Stribling is listed as a reserve receiver behind veterans Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel on San Francisco's unofficial depth chart, so while it appears he will debut against the Rams in Australia it's unclear exactly what role he will have.

Evans (adductor) was not listed on the injury report the 49ers released Tuesday, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Evans has been slowed by injuries since early August, but he apparently is back at 100 percent in advance of Week 1. Barring any setbacks, he'll fill a starting wide receiver spot when the 49ers kick off their 2026 campaign against the Rams in Australia.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Tuesday that Walker (undisclosed) is dealing with "something minor" but is uncertain to play in Sunday's season opener against the Colts, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Minter didn't elaborate on the nature of Walker's issue, but is could get cleared up when the Ravens post their first injury report Wednesday. Though Walker's availability for Sunday is looking iffy, Minter said that he expects the third-year wideout to practice in some capacity this week.

Allen is listed as a backup receiver on Kansas City's unofficial depth chart ahead of Monday's season opener versus the Broncos, Charles Goldsmith of AtoZSports.com reports.

A rookie fifth-round pick out of Cincinnati, Allen generated plenty of positive buzz in training camp and the preseason, but he doesn't appear to have a path to meaningful playing time heading into Week 1. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are locked in as the clear top two options on the depth chart, but Allen could eventually push Tyquan Thornton for the No. 3 spot. Thornton possesses more speed of the two and found some success as a vertical threat in Andy Reid's scheme last season, but Allen offers a more diverse route tree and could be a higher-volume target earner if Rice or Worthy were to miss time.

The Seahawks list Horton (hamstring) as questionable for Wednesday's season opener versus the Patriots, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Horton missed the final nine games of the 2025 regular season as well as the Seahawks' playoff run due to a shin fracture and a groin issue, requiring offseason surgery to address the injuries. Though he was deemed ready to go for the start of training camp, the second-year wideout ended up succumbing to a hamstring injury in mid-August. While that isn't viewed as a long-term concern, Horton had his practice participation limited this week and he may not get clearance to suit up Wednesday. Even if he avoids the inactive list, he'd be in line for a small role as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp.
