Dorsett is signing with the Broncos' practice squad Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Dorsett was released by the Raiders on Tuesday, and he'll remain in the AFC West as part of Denver's practice squad. He appeared in 15 games with the Texans last year and secured 20 of 40 targets for 257 yards and a touchdown.

Hardman doesn't appear in line to enter the season with a top-three role at receiver, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Randall Cobb reportedly has seen more first-team work than Hardman, who injured a finger while playing with the second-stringers in a preseason-closing win over the Giants last Saturday. Hardman should get a few touches as a return man and as a No. 4 receiver when the Jets host the Bills in Week 1, but Cobb, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard (plus tight end Tyler Conklin) are all more likely to lead the New York's pass-catching corps in targets from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Cobb appears likely to enter the season with a top-three role at receiver, while Mecole Hardman is expected to begin the campaign as a backup and gadget player, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Cobb was initially projected to be a depth signing when he followed Aaron Rodgers to New York this spring, but the Jets receiver room ended up less crowded than expected following Corey Davis' recent retirement and Hardman's apparent failure to take a step forward with his new team. As a result, Cobb is left as the probable No. 3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard (shoulder) heading into a Week 1 home game against the Bills on Sept. 11.

Taylor is signing with the Bears on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Taylor was released by the Bengals on Tuesday, but he landed a spot on Chicago's active roster a day later. The 2017 fifth-rounder saw most of his production as a return man last year, racking up 340 yards on punt returns. Velus Jones was absent for an undisclosed reason late in training camp and the preseason, and Taylor would be a candidate to take on return duties if Jones misses time during the regular season.

Olszewski has made the Steelers' 53-man roster, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Olszewski was on the Steelers' roster bubble ahead of Tuesday's deadline to finalize rosters, but the receiver will remain with the team heading into the 2023 regular season. He didn't see much offensive work last season, securing five of seven targets for 53 yards while rushing eight times for 39 yards. He'll have additional competition for touches in 2023 after the Steelers acquired Allen Robinson during the offseason.

Minnesota will waive Reagor on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Reagor made it through the first day of roster cuts, but he'll now be sent to waivers despite having logged a relatively impressive finish to the preseason. The transaction's largest impact is that it leaves Brandon Powell as the Vikings' clear top punt returner, with Jalen Nailor (leg) also set to be an option when healthy. Reagor seems like a strong candidate to land on Minnesota's practice squad, assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Commanders placed McGowan (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

McGowan's entire 2023 campaign will be spent on IR, barring an injury settlement. He appeared in two games with Washington as a rookie last season, and was facing competition for a roster spot prior to suffering an undisclosed injury.

The Cowboys placed Durden (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.

Durden has officially been diagnosed with a torn ACL, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports, giving him a long road to recovery for the 2024 campaign. The 24-year-old undrafted rookie out of West Florida had logged an impressive training camp prior to suffering the knee injury.

The Texans removed Bachman (oblique) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bachman will now be free to sign with another team once fully healthy, though that will take some time as he's recovering from a torn oblique. The 27-year-old initially landed on IR on Aug. 22.

Remigio (wrist) was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Remigio has been nursing a wrist injury since mid-August. He is now set to hit waivers and subsequently revert to the Chiefs' injured reserve assuming nobody claims him. The undrafted free agent signed with Kansas City in May.
