Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Limited practice Tuesday
Washington (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Washington popped up on the injury report Monday with a thumb issue after catching one of two targets for two yards in the team's 33-27 loss to the Patriots in Week 2. Head coach Mike McDaniel is optimistic that the wide receiver will be able to play Thursday in Buffalo, per David Furones. Washington will have one more practice session Wednesday to prove his health ahead of Thursday Night Football.

Dalen Cambre WR | NYG
Dalen Cambre: Back with NYG on practice squad
The Giants signed Cambre to the practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Cambre is back with the Giants after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The undrafted rookie is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should a wide receiver on the active roster miss time.

Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG
Isaiah Hodgins: Catches on with Steelers
The Steelers signed Hodgins to the practice squad Tuesday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Hodgins failed to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll get a new opportunity in Pittsburgh. He would be a top candidate to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster if any member of the Steelers' wide receiver corps were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Still dealing with shoulder issue
Waddle (shoulder) was a limited participant at the Dolphins' practice Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Waddle returned to the injury report Tuesday with a shoulder injury that has been ailing him since the beginning of the season. The wide receiver was able to play through the issue in Week 2 against the Patriots, reeling in five of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown while playing 81 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Waddle doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Thursday's contest against the Bills.

Malik Cunningham WR | DET
Malik Cunningham: Catches on with Detroit
The Lions signed Cunningham to the practice squad Tuesday.
Cunningham will get an opportunity with another NFL team after he failed to make the Ravens' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He last saw regular-season action in 2023, when he played one game each with the Patriots and Ravens.

Ryan Miller WR | NYG
Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Gets into end zone Monday
Miller secured his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.
Miller was in on 18 of 80 snaps from scrimmage and made good use of his one opportunity, coming down with a Baker Mayfield scoring strike along the back right of the end zone in the first quarter. The Furman product now has three touchdown receptions on 13 career NFL catches, but as the Buccaneers' receiver corps gets healthier in coming weeks with the anticipated season debuts of Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (IR-neck), Miller will find snaps, targets and perhaps even active status hard to come by.

Sterling Shepard WR | TB
Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Remains involved in Week 2 win
Shepard secured all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.
The veteran wideout finished tied for third in receptions and enjoyed the same slotting in receiving yards while playing 60 of 88 offensive snaps. A relationship with Baker Mayfield that dates back to their college days, and that served as the foundation for Shepard being coaxed out of semi-retirement last season, has paid off over the first two games of the new campaign, as he sports a 7-73-0 line on 10 targets. The 32-year-old will continue filling in as the No. 3 receiver while both Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) remains sidelined.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Gets foot, clavicle surgeries
Reed announced Tuesday via social media that he underwent successful surgeries to repair a fractured collarbone and a Jones fracture in his left foot.
Surgery was expected after the wideout fractured his collarbone in last Thursday's win over the Commanders, but Reed has also elected to simultaneously get a procedure for his foot fracture, which popped up during training camp. The multiple surgeries aren't expected to alter the timeline for his return, which is estimated at 6-to-8 weeks. Even with Reed out of the picture for the next several games, the Packers still have plenty of depth at receiver on hand in Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams and Malik Heath.

Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Expected to play Week 3
Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that he expects Berrios (hamstring) to be available for the Texans' Week 3 AFC South clash against the Jaguars on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Berrios missed the first two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, but he is trending toward making his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday. The 2018 sixth-rounder signed a one-year contract with the Texans in March after spending the last two seasons with the Dolphins. When he does take the field, Berrios projects to serve in a rotational role on kickoff and punt returns, and as a depth piece at wide receiver.

Kendric Pryor WR | CIN
Kendric Pryor: Signed to Cincy's practice squad
The Bengals signed Pryor to the practice squad Tuesday.
Pryor was cut by the Bengals at the end of training camp in late August but will get another shot with the team on the practice squad. He appeared in two regular-season games for Cincinnati in 2024, playing 24 snaps (19 on offense, five on special teams) and logging one catch for nine yards and 43 kick return yards. Pryor is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if there is an injury to the Bengals' wide-receiver corps or return unit.
