Foster remains on the roster following Saturday's roster cuts.

Perhaps Foster was never in serious danger following a breakout rookie campaign, but he had a poor summer and preseason and has been plagued by a toe injury, while a group of Isaiah McKenzie, Duke Williams and Ray-Ray McCloud had been coming on strong. In the end McKenzie and Foster made the team, along with no-doubters John Brown, Cole Beasley, Zay Jones and Andre Roberts. All is not perfect for Foster, however, as he never made a serious threat for a starting job and may be seeing a limited snap count to begin the season.

Smith was waived by Houston on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Smith appeared in seven games for Houston last season, catching five passes for 91 yards and a touchdown over 179 snaps. The 23-year-old will have to look for another opportunity elsewhere in the league.

Pittsburgh cut Rogers on Saturday, Teresa Varley of Steelrs.com reports.

The veteran wide receiver and kick returner was a longshot to make the team after the Steelers drafted Diontae Johnson and signed free agent Donte Moncrief, but he could still be back when teams are allowed to add 10 players to the practice squad beginning at 12 noon on Sunday.

Scott was waived by the Chargers on Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Scott certainly put together a solid preseason, so it's entirely possible he gets claimed by another team looking for depth at wide receiver. Geremy Davis and Dontrelle Inman were the last two receivers to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

St. Brown (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday and will miss the entire 2019 season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

St. Brown could have been brought back at some point if he would have been included on the initial 53-man roster prior to being placed on injured reserve, but the Packers have decided to shut him down for the entire season after the receiver was only initially expected to miss four to six weeks. St. Brown being held off the roster creates room for former undrafted free agent Darrius Shepherd.

Miller was released by the Browns on Saturday.

Miller was fighting for a depth role after joining the Browns three weeks into August but was unable to make the 53-man roster. Having already been waived by the Eagles earlier in training camp, the receiver will try to find another opportunity to join an NFL roster.

Taylor (foot) has been ruled out of the 49ers' Week 1 matchup with Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor's status comes as little surprise after coach Kyle Shanahan said the wideout was doubtful for Week 1 while he continues to recover from his surgery three weeks ago. Deebo Samuel will figure to see some extra snaps while Taylor is out.

Wilson was waived by the Cowboys on Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Wilson spent his rookie season on IR in 2018 after tearing his labrum but he looked promising in his first full training camp with the Cowboys. The team reportedly will add Wilson to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed in the waiver process.

McBride was waived by the Jaguars on Saturday, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.

McBride was looking to earn a depth receiving role, but ultimately failed to make enough of an impression at camp. He is not eligible to be picked up on the team's practice squad, so he will be forced to look for a new opportunity.

The Seahawks waived Ferguson on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Although Ferguson had a productive preseason, he was unable to land a spot on the Seattle's 53-man roster. If he does not get claimed off waivers he will presumably be offered a spot on the team's practice squad.
