Crabtree is listed as a starter on the Cardinals' first depth chart for the regular season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

This is a good time to point out that depth charts are created by a team's communications/PR department, not the football staff. To that end, coach Kliff Kingsbury said last week that he wasn't sure if Crabtree would be ready for the regular-season opener Sunday against the Lions. The depth chart doesn't provide an answer, but the decision to keep Crabtree on the 53-man roster suggests he'll eventually have a role on offense, considering he's never been a factor on special teams. Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk are the other starting wide receivers on the depth chart, with KeeSean Johnson, Trent Sherfield and Damiere Byrd listed as second-stringers. Rookie second-round pick Andy Isabella checks in at the very bottom.

The Bills are listing three starters on their first unofficial depth chart for the season: Jones, John Brown and Cole Beasley, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

The team will run three wideouts for much of the campaign, so there's playing time to be had for all three players. However, it'll be interesting to see who gets pulled off the field the most when the Bills run power sets or use multiple tight-end packages. Each wideout offers something unique from the other of his teammates, so it could turn into a situation where each player plays about 70-80 percent of the game but is quasi-capped. If any of the three is going to inch toward 100 percent, it's probably Beasley, given his value in the slot and as a security blanket for Josh Allen. The one takeaway from this summer is that Robert Foster has clearly taken a back seat in the pecking order, when at one point Jones looked to be competing with him for depth chart positioning.

Taylor (foot) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, but he was spotted without the orthopedic boot he's been sporting over the last three weeks, Cam Inman of The Mercury News reports.

Taylor has already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Buccaneers. The 25-year-old underwent surgery three weeks ago to repair a Jones' fracture in his foot. In Taylor's absence, Deebo Samuel figures to see more reps, particularly at slot receiver.

Cain is listed as the third or fourth wide receiver on Indianapolis' first depth chart of the season.

Can had an outstanding preseason (12 receptions for 169 yards) in his first action since returning from a torn ACL in August 2018. This could reflect that he'll have a larger role in the offense than expected, but the No. 3 to No. 6 roles in the Indy offense may be in flux, and those roles may not see as many targets with the move to Jacoby Brissett from Andrew Luck at quarterback.

Sims signed with the Redskins' practice squad Monday, J.P. Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Sims didn't survive cut-down day Saturday -- even after impressing members of the coaching staff during practices in training camp -- but he'll at least be able to stay in Washington and develop. The 23-year-old made the 53-man roster last season but suffered an injury in the first game and missed the rest of the campaign.

Chesson signed with the Redskins' practice squad Monday, J.P. Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Chesson has appeared in 24 games over his two-year career -- 12 for Kansas City and 12 for Washington -- logging three catches for 25 yards. The 25-year-old operated primarily on special teams for Washington last season and will now look to develop as a receiver on their practice squad.

Treadwell visited with the Bills on Tuesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

Treadwell -- a 2016 first-round pick -- had an underwhelming start to his career with just 56 catches for 517 yards and a touchdown through his first three seasons with the Vikings. The team understandably cut him this offseason. Now, Treadwell is looking for a fresh start, and the 24-year-old still has enough time to make a turnaround. However, he doesn't have elite athleticism -- he ran a 4.64 second 40-yard dash and recorded a 33-inch vertical -- and he'd likely have to settle for a depth role even on the Bills.

Scott signed with the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, Gilbert Manzano of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Scott led the Cowboys in receiving over the preseason, but he wasn't able to survive the slew of roster cuts made Saturday. Over three seasons at Clemson, the 23-year-old caught 245 passes for 2,480 yards and 19 touchdowns.

The Jaguars released Pryor (hamstring) as part of an injury settlement Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Pryor was included among the Jaguars' roster cuts Friday but reverted to injured reserve after going unclaimed off waivers. According to Rapoport, the hamstring issue that sidelined Pryor for the Jaguars' final preseason game is a minor concern that the 30-year-old has since moved past, so he'll head back to the open market at full strength. Pryor seems unlikely to surface elsewhere before Week 1 kicks off, but he could find a home once injuries inevitably take their toll on teams' receiver ranks during the season.

Lewis was waived by the Seahawks on Saturday, according to the team's transaction report.

Lewis signed with the Seahawks less than a week ago but his short amount of time in the locker room wasn't enough to secure him a spot on the 53-man roster. An undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati, Lewis has already spent time with the Falcons and Seahawks this summer and could fit into a practice squad or roster somewhere down the road.
