The Steelers cut Jarrett from the practice squad Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Jarrett caught on with the Steelers on the practice squad in early September after failing to make the Buccaneers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 24-year-old wideout will explore his next opportunities and look to sign with a team in need of pass-catching depth.

The NFL lifted Stoops' two-game suspension Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

If Stoops were to have signed with a team, he would have been required to miss two games to serve a suspension for violating the NFL's policy regarding performance-enhancing drugs. Now that the suspension has been lifted, Stoops will be able to sign with a team and contribute to it immediately. He spent the entire 2024 season with the Rams' practice squad and was cut by the team at the end of training camp in late August.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
