The Broncos signed Duplessis on Friday, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

Just a few days after getting cut by Seattle, Duplessis is already getting another chance with a new club. The signing comes after free-agent acquisition Jaylen Waddle left Wednesday's training camp practice with muscle tightness, so Duplessis will likely be expected to pick up some of the slack until Waddle is back.

Weaver (concussion) caught three of five targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers.

Weaver was second among Arizona receivers in targets in the preseason opener, but he finished out the day in concussion protocol. He is a legitimate candidate to earn a depth role among Cardinals receivers in 2026 provided he can get back on the field in good time.

Fehoko caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers.

Fehoko took advantage of his length (6-foot-4) to beat cornerback Corey Thornton (6-foot-1) on a fade route in the middle of the second quarter for Arizona's second score of the day. Arizona didn't make any huge moves at wide receiver during the offseason, so Fehoko has a real shot to make the opening 53-man roster in 2026.

Horn caught four passes on seven targets for 44 yards during the Panthers' 33-30 win over the Cardinals in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards.

Horn caught passes of 17 and 15 yards from Haynes King on the Panthers' final drive of the second quarter, which helped set up a 33-yard field goal from Ryan Fitzgerald. Horn added two more catches in the second half, including a 12-yard pass late in the fourth quarter that set up the Panthers deep in enemy territory and eventually led to a five-yard, game-winning rushing touchdown by King as time expired. Horn was a sixth-round selection of the Panthers in the 2025 NFL Draft but didn't see many touches during his rookie campaign, finishing with 11 catches (on 15 targets) for 108 yards and eight carries for 69 yards over 14 regular-season games. Xavier Legette figures to be Carolina's WR3 behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker this season, but Horn could see some additional work on special teams as a returner and could earn a larger role for himself on offense with a strong training camp and preseason. The Panthers' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 15 against the Bills in Buffalo.

Moore caught one pass on two targets for five yards during Carolina's 33-30 win over Arizona in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

Moore's lone catch came early in the second quarter, and he finished Thursday's game having played 18 total snaps (17 on offense, one on special teams). The 2017 seven-rounder spent most of last year on injured reserve due to a dislocated elbow and appeared in only four regular-season games before being a healthy scratch during the Panthers' NFC wild-card loss against the Rams. Moore is competing against Brycen Tremayne, Casey Washington, Ja'Seem Reed and John Metchie for a depth spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster.

The Browns waived Thrash (undisclosed) on Friday with an injury designation.

The nature and severity of Thrash's injury have not been announced. However, if the 2024 fifth-rounder goes through waivers unclaimed, then he'll revert to the Browns' injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire upcoming season unless an injury settlement is reached with Cleveland. Thrash appeared in nine regular-season games for the Browns in 2025, catching 10 passes (on 15 targets) for 107 yards.

The Falcons signed Wilkerson on Friday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Wilkerson did not play last regular season after missing the cut for the Bills' 53-man roster, but he's now getting another chance with a new squad. Behind Drake London, Atlanta has one of the thinnest receiving corps in the league going into 2026.

Ayomanor (shoulder) is practicing Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ayomanor exited Thursday's practice early due to an issue with his left shoulder, but he apparently dodged a serious injury. The second-year wideout is competing for slotting in Tennessee's wideout pecking order, so it's important that he didn't have to miss much time.

Weaver is in concussion protocol after Thursday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Weaver presumably suffered the concussion during the Hall of Fame Game, and there's no word yet on when he'll be available again. In the meantime, rookie fifth-rounder Reggie Virgil and free-agent acquisition Devin Duvernay could get a bump up in the receiver rotation.

Mims (undisclosed) left Friday's practice with an apparent injury, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

With Jaylen Waddle dealing with a muscle strain and Mims having left practice Friday, the Broncos' top healthy WRs at the moment are Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant. Following the high-profile offseason addition of Waddle to work alongside Sutton, however, Mims' path to steady volume is murky as he competes with Franklin and Bryant for slotting behind the top duo.
