Sills (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Buccaneers on Sunday with a designation to return, Scott Smith of the team's official website reports.

Sills appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury at some point during the preseason. The wide receiver played in one of the team's preseason contests, reeling in one of two targets for minus-1 yard. Sills will now be forced to miss at least four contests while on IR, and the earliest he can return to action is Week 5 against the Cowboys on Oct. 8.

Charles (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Seahawks on Sunday with a designation to return, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Charles was traded to Seattle in late May, and he suffered an undisclosed injury at some point during the preseason. The wide receiver will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the regular season, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the 49ers on Oct. 11.

Wade (undisclosed) was waived by the Ravens on Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Wade was dealing with an undisclosed injury at training camp, but he was able to play in all three of the Ravens' preseason games, reeling in six of seven targets for 54 yards. The wide receiver will now look for another opportunity elsewhere in 2026.

The Steelers waived Smith (undisclosed) on Sunday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Smith recovered from an undisclosed injury to play in the Steelers' preseason finale against the Bills on Thursday, when he caught two passes on three targets for four yards. The Iowa product didn't crack the Steelers' 53-man roster, though he could stay in Pittsburgh as a member of the practice squad if he goes unclaimed off waivers. Smith played 21 snaps (eight on offense, 13 on special teams) across two regular-season games for the Jets in 2025.

The Jets waived Camper (head) on Sunday, Eric Allen and Amanda Vogt of the team's official site report.

The Jets signed Camper to the 90-man practice squad July 31, with the Boise State product accruing four catches (on seven targets) for 63 yards while adding one tackle across three preseason games. Camper won't be on the Jets' 53-man roster for the regular season, but he was signed to New York's practice squad Monday.

Westbrook-Ikhine was signed to the Colts' practice squad Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Westbrook-Ikhine was let go by the team Sunday, but he'll remain in Indianapolis ahead of the regular season. With Alec Pierce (ankle) still uncertain for Week 1, it's possible that Westbrook-Ikhine will be elevated to the active roster for the team's matchup with the Ravens on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Bond (concussion) is not practicing Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Bond continues to deal with the concussion he sustained in Cleveland's second preseason game, but coach Todd Monken said Monday the wideout is nearing a return to the field. Bond is expected to open the season as a sub-package wide receiver behind Jerry Jeudy and rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston while also handling return duties. Bond doesn't carry much fantasy value outside of return yardage leagues.

Pittman (hamstring) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Falcons, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Like teammate DK Metcalf (undisclosed), Pittman has missed a bunch of practice time in training camp and didn't see any preseason action. However, Pittman was back on the practice field last week and now will have the next couple weeks to get ramped up for the Week 1 opener. Acquired from the Colts over the offseason, Pittman is expected to push Metcalf for the team lead in targets this season, but it's fair to wonder about Pittman's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers right out of the gates.

Metcalf (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Falcons, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Metcalf has dealt with an undisclosed injury for much of training camp, but he returned to practice last week and is expected to be ready when the games count. He'll be looking for a bounce-back 2026 season after he produced just 59 catches for 850 yards and six touchdowns across 15 regular-season contests last season, his first season with the Steelers. Metcalf is facing added competition for targets in the form of Michael Pittman (hamstring), who also is expected to be ready for the Week 1 opener.

Tipton (leg) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Saints on Sunday.

Tipton underwent tibia surgery in the offseason, and as a result, he opened training camp on the active/PUP list, ultimately failing to play during the preseason. The wide receiver will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 versus the Vikings on Oct. 11.
