The Seahawks waived Hicks on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hicks has now been waived by Seattle twice in the past two weeks after first signing with the team Aug. 17. The 26-year-old will look to catch on with another team and make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

Restrepo has made the Titans' initial 53-man roster, Arye Pulli reports Sunday.

Restrepo appeared in two games for the Titans in 2025 as a practice-squad elevation, totalling three receptions for 41 yards. The fan favorite has earned a place in the depths of the wide receiver corps and will likely have a shot to mix into starting packages throughout the regular season. Restrepo caught eight of his 13 targets for 97 yards over the Titans' three preseason games.

Osborn was released by the Titans on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Osborn was selected by the Vikings in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He had a few productive years in Minnesota, though he most recently appeared in seven regular-season games for the Patriots in 2024-25, when he caught seven passes (18 targets) for 57 yards and one touchdown. Osborn has plenty of NFL experience, so there's a chance he will find a new team. However, even if that happens, his statistical ceiling is limited.

The Browns waived Wilson on Sunday, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.

Wilson was facing an uphill battle to earn a roster spot after signing with Cleveland as an undrafted free agent in May. The 22-year-old will now look to find a new opportunity with another team, where he could add value both on offense and special teams.

The Broncos waived Ross on Sunday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Ross signed with the Broncos in early May as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia. The wide receiver participated in all three preseason games, catching five of his six targets for 29 yards. Ross will now be subject to waivers. If the 25-year-old goes unclaimed, the Broncos would like him to rejoin the team on the practice squad.

Dell (knee) will begin the season on IR with a designation to return, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dell continues to work his way back from the serious knee injury he suffered in December 2024. The promising news is that the wideout has progressed to working in team drills and is being allowed to progress at his own pace. Dell's placement on IR means he'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season, but the designation to return means he's expected to suit up at some point in 2026.

The Browns waived Larvadain on Sunday, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.

Larvadain served as the team's punt returner last season but lost out on that role to Isaiah Bond for the upcoming campaign. The 2025 undrafted free agent could be a candidate to land on Cleveland's practice squad should he go unclaimed on waivers.

Jones was released by the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones signed with Houston on Aug. 21 after completing a tryout with the team. The wide receiver caught one of three targets for six yards in the Texans' 16-13 loss to the Panthers in their preseason finale. Jones caught 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards over eight regular-season contests with Arizona in 2025 before ending the season on injured reserve with an Achilles tear that he suffered in Week 10. Now fully healthy, Jones will likely get another shot with a new squad in 2026.

The Lions are releasing Dortch, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

When Dortch linked up with Detroit in the offseason, his best path to playing time, or even a roster spot, was his ability as a returner, as the Lions offense runs primarily through its big four of RB Jahmyr Gibbs, WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and TE Sam LaPorta (hip). After the exhibition slate concluded, though, the team has opted to move on from Dortch. Aa a vested veteran, he'll be able to sign with another team immediately.

Shepard was released by the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Shepard signed with Houston on Aug. 21 after trying out with the team, but he will now hit the open market again ahead of the 2026 campaign. The 33-year-old had a productive season with the Buccaneers in 2025, securing 39 of 53 targets for 371 yards and a touchdown over 13 regular-season contests while operating in a depth role. The wideout will likely find another suitor, but he hasn't exceeded 400 receiving yards in a season since 2020, making him an unappealing fantasy option.
