Trenton Irwin WR | NYJ
Trenton Irwin: Unable to secure roster spot
Jacksonville released Irwin on Tuesday.
Irwin joined the Jaguars on a one-year contract in early June, but he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old could get a chance with another club in need of veteran wideout depth.

Tank Dell WR | HOU
Texans' Tank Dell: Moved to reserve/PUP list
The Texans placed Dell (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Dell will be required to miss a minimum of four games, though it remains to be see exactly when -- if at all -- he'll be ready to resume practicing. The 2023 third-round pick is recovering from a severe knee injury sustained last December. Nico Collins and Christian Kirk will kick off the 2025 campaign as C.J. Stroud's clear top two wide receivers, while rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel compete for No. 3 reps.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper WR | DAL
Jalen Moreno-Cropper: Jettisoned by Cowboys
Dallas waived Moreno-Cropper on Tuesday.
Moreno-Cropper suited up for one regular-season game with the Cowboys as a rookie last season, but he spent most of the year on the team's practice squad. He could reunite with Dallas in a similar capacity for the 2025 campaign.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Laquon Treadwell: Doesn't make 53-man roster
The Colts released Treadwell on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Treadwell opted to stay in Indianapolis on a futures deal in January after spending most of the 2024 campaign on the Colts' practice squad, though he did play in two regular-season games. The veteran wideout didn't stand out across the Colts' first two preseason games, but he made his case for the 53-man roster during Saturday's preseason finale against the Bengals, when he caught six passes on as many targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. It ultimately wasn't enough for Treadwell to make the cut, but the 2016 first-rounder could stick around on the Colts' practice squad for a second straight year.

Eli Pancol WR | IND
Eli Pancol: Waived with injury designation
Jacksonville waived/injured Pancol (undisclosed) on Tuesday.
It's not clear what type of injury Pancol is dealing with, but the issue may explain why he didn't play in Jacksonville's final preseason contest Saturday versus Miami. Prior to getting hurt, Pancol was making waves as a candidate for one of the Jaguars' final roster spots.
-
Jeremiah Webb WR | NE
Jeremiah Webb: Cut by Pats
New England waived Webb on Tuesday, per the team's official site.
Webb signed with New England as an undrafted free agent in April and caught six of nine targets for 80 yards and a touchdown over three preseason games. He didn't make the team's initial 53-man roster but is a candidate for the practice squad if he clears waivers.
-
Drake Stoops WR | LAR
Drake Stoops: Let go by Rams
The Rams waived Stoops (suspension) on Tuesday.
Stoops logged an 8/74/1 preseason stat line on 12 targets across three games, but it wasn't enough for him to crack the Rams' 53-man roster. He'll look to catch on with a team in need of wide receiver depth, but if he does sign to a 53-man roster, Stoops will be forced to miss the first two regular-season games due to his suspension for violating the NFL's policy regarding performance-enhancing drugs.

Jahmal Banks WR | BAL
Jahmal Banks: Waived on cutdown day
The Ravens waived Banks on Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Banks signed with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in April and caught his only target for six yards during three preseason contests. He nearly reeled in a touchdown in the Ravens' second exhibition contest but was flagged for a questionable offensive pass interference penalty.
-
Britain Covey WR | PHI
Britain Covey: Let go by Rams
The Rams waived Covey on Tuesday.
Covey signed a one-year deal with the Rams in March after spending his first three NFL seasons with the Eagles. He finished the preseason with nine catches (on 14 targets) for 76 yards while adding 16 return yards on two punts, but it wasn't enough for the Utah product to crack the Rams' 53-man roster. Covey will have the opportunity to explore his options if he clears waivers, and that includes staying in Los Angeles as a member of the Rams' practice squad.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Avoids IR on cutdown day
Mooney (shoulder) wasn't placed on injured reserve Tuesday, remaining on Atlanta's active roster, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
He still hasn't practiced since injuring his shoulder on the first day of training camp, but the Falcons seem confident Mooney will miss fewer than the minimum four games required by an IR stint. It's unclear if he has a realistic chance to play in Week 1 against Tampa Bay, however.
