The Titans signed Fitzpatrick to their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Fitzpatrick, a 2021 fourth-round pick, caught five passes for 49 yards across four games as a rookie. With Julio Jones and A.J. Brown gone, the 6-foot-2 pass catcher figured to have an easier shot at carving out a role in Tennessee's wideout room this season, but he failed to take advantage during training camp and will start a second straight season on the Titans' practice squad.

London (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The Falcons haven't said much about London's injury apart from head coach Arthur Smith's statement Aug. 14, when he noted the rookie wasn't dealing with a long-term concern. London suffered the injury in the team's preseason opener Aug. 12, and he's now absent from practice for a third straight week as the calendar turns to September. It'd be a great sign for fantasy managers if London returned to practice before the team's first official injury report of the season is released next Wednesday, even if he's listed as a limited participant.

The 49ers signed Snead to their practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Snead signed with the 49ers at the beginning of August but failed to make the team's initial 53-man roster. However, he'll stick around the organization as a veteran depth piece on the practice squad. The 49ers' wideout corps lacks an established No. 3 option behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, so it's possible Snead sees a promotion before too long.

The Eagles signed Cain to their practice squad Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

As expected, Cain returns to the Eagles via a practice squad deal after going unclaimed through waivers. The 6-foot-2 wideout caught eight passes for 106 yards across three preseason games.

The Jaguars claimed Pryor off waivers from the Bengals on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pryor caught four of seven targets for 89 yards and a score during Cincinnati's preseason opener, but recorded just one catch in each of the final two exhibition games. The undrafted rookie out of Wisconsin will look to carve out a role in Jacksonville's wideout room, which is led by Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones and Zay Jones.

Allen was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

After being waived Wednesday, the Eagles opted to keep Allen and his top-notch speed around, adding him to their practice squad. The wide receiver will provide the team with an explosive option, ready to be added to the active roster when needed.

The Texans claimed Johnson off waivers from the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Johnson, who caught 36 of his 55 targets for 360 yards in 17 games with the Buccaneers last season, lands in a spot where could could carve out a key role on offense once he's up to speed with the Texans' playbook. Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins profile as Houston's top two wideouts, but beyond those two options, plenty of targets are up for grabs.

Shakir remains on Buffalo's initial 53-man roster following Tuesday's wave of cuts, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Shakir's inclusion on the roster was expected, as he's shined all summer, showing that his playmaking ability and football acumen exceed his fifth-round draft status. For now, Shakir appears to be the fifth receiver on the depth chart, but since the No. 3 and No. 4 options -- Isaiah McKenzie and Jamison Crowder -- play primarily out of the slot, Shakir could have a strong footprint in a high-powered offense if the Bills happen to be without one of Stefon Diggs or Gabriel Davis at any point.

Geiger signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Geiger will return to the Buccaneers' organization after being waived Tuesday. The wide receiver joined the team in May after going undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft and will now look to crack the active roster at some point this season.

The Jets waived Black on Tuesday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

Black caught four passes for 47 yards during the Jets' second exhibition game before suffering an apparent head injury that kept him sidelined for the preseason finale. However, he wasn't waived with an injury designation, suggesting he's cleared the issue. If he clears waivers, the undrafted wideout from Texas could join the Jets' practice squad for a second straight campaign.
