Chosen signed with San Francisco's practice squad Wednesday.

Chosen didn't make the 53-man roster, but the veteran wide receiver is a candidate for an early-season promotion, depending on the availability of San Francisco's various injured wideouts. The speedster's regular-season totals in receiving yards have dropped every subsequent season since he had a career-high 1,096 with the Panthers in 2020, down to 519 in 2021, 282 in 2022, 126 in 2023 and five yards in 2024.

The Raiders signed Shorter to their practice squad Wednesday.

Shorter was waived by Las Vegas on Tuesday but is remaining with the organization. He's one of two tight ends the team signed to the practice squad Wednesday along with Albert Okwuegbunam.

Bergen signed with San Francisco's practice squad Wednesday.

Bergen was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the 49ers out of Montana but failed to make San Francisco's initial 53-man roster. He didn't garner any interest on waivers and thus remains in the organization. Bergen could be a candidate for a promotion to the roster early in the season depending on the health of San Francisco's various injured wide receivers.

Williams signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday.

Williams went unclaimed after being waived Tuesday and is back with the Steelers organization despite failing to make the 53-man roster. The rookie receiver out of Indiana was among the team's final cuts and could be looked upon to fill in if injuries strike Pittsburgh's receiving corps.

The Raiders signed Jackson to their practice squad Wednesday.

Jackson ended last season on the Raiders' practice squad and will begin the 2025 campaign there as well. The 25-year-old has played in three NFL regular-season games, all of which came in 2023 with Cincinnati.

Shakir (ankle) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports

Shakir is back on the practice field for the first time since suffering a right high-ankle sprain Aug. 1, so even being restricted to limited reps would represent a significant step in the right direction. Head coach Sean McDermott has expressed optimism about Shakir's chances of being available Week 1, so even if Buffalo opts to take a cautious approach to the No. 1 wideout's health, look for his activity level to ramp up in advance of Buffalo's regular-season opener against Baltimore on Sunday, Sept. 7.

The NFL officially suspended Rice for the first six games of the 2025 regular season Wednesday for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rice's suspension will begin immediately, as he and the NFL reached an agreement Wednesday on an arrangement that will force him to miss the first six weeks of the regular season but allow him to retake the field mid-season. He will first be eligible for reinstatement and to resume practicing Oct. 13 and to make his regular-season debut in Week 7 versus the Raiders on Oct. 19. JuJu Smith-Schuster figures to join Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown (ankle) in the majority of three-wide sets until Rice is reinstated.

Las Vegas signed Bachman to its practice squad Wednesday.

Bachman didn't make the Raiders' initial 53-man roster but is remaining with the organization. He spent most of the last year on Las Vegas' practice squad but did get into six regular-season games, catching all three of his targets for 31 yards.

The Bills signed Wilkerson to their practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Wilkerson didn't make Buffalo's initial 53-man roster, but he'll serve as organizational WR depth on the practice squad. The 28-year-old got into three regular-season games with the Raiders last year, catching two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown.

The Bills signed Gosnell to their practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Gosnell had a solid preseason but didn't make Buffalo's initial 53-man roster. He'll now get a chance to further develop on the team's practice squad.
