The Saints released Pettis on Tuesday.

Pettis re-signed with New Orleans back in March after posting a 12-120-1 receiving line on 28 targets across eight regular-season games last season, but he was unable to make the initial 53-man roster behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and newcomer Devaughn Vele this summer.

The Cowboys placed Mingo (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, a transaction which rules him out for at least the first four games of the regular season.

Mingo is recovering from a right PCL sprain he suffered during a preseason loss to the Ravens. With the fourth-year wideout sidelined until Week 5 against the Jets at the earliest, Ryan Flournoy will fill the No. 5 role for the Cowboys, and Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin could see a slight uptick in volume behind starters CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

The Browns waived Johnson on Tuesday.

Johnson signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky earlier this year. He appeared in the team's first two preseason contests but failed to secure a catch on one target across 51 offensive snaps.

The Browns waived Cota on Tuesday.

This is Cota's second time being cut by Cleveland in the past month. He played 44 offensive snaps this preseason, producing a 1-7-0 receiving line on three targets.

Tillman (thumb) is participating in Tuesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Tillman missed nearly a week of practice due to a minor thumb injury, but he's now back on the field well in advance of Cleveland's regular-season opener against Cincinnati. He's primed to kick off the 2025 campaign as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Jerry Jeudy, in a Browns passing game that should at least have a higher floor with Joe Flacco under center than it did last season.

New York waived Wells on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Wells is among players caught up in roster cuts as the Giants move toward a 53-man group. The undrafted rookie spent his final collegiate season at Ole Miss, where he connected with Jaxson Dart to the tune of 28 catches for 553 yards and six touchdowns across 13 games. That rapport with Dart could assist Wells' chances of resurfacing on the Giants' practice squad.

The Patriots informed Chism (foot/ankle) on Tuesday that he's made the initial 53-man roster, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Chism has successfully defied the odds after going undrafted out of Eastern Washington back in April, as he'll begin his NFL career on New England's active roster with a chance to contribute both as a depth wideout and on special teams. He missed the Patriots' preseason finale due to what appears to be a minor ankle or foot injury, which he sustained during the team's second preseason game against Minnesota. Chism will work to get fully healthy in time to face the Raiders in Week 1.

McMillan (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

McMillan was sidelined a little more than a week due to a minor hamstring injury, but getting back on the field more than a week before Week 1 prep begins bodes well for the eighth overall pick in this year's draft. It remains to be seen if he'll avoid the injury report entirely once Carolina is required to post one ahead of their season opener against Jacksonville.

The Seahawks released Valdes-Scantling on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Valdes-Scantling was fighting for the Seahawks' WR3 gig behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but it appears as though rookie Tory Horton (ankle) has won the job. It's also possible the Seahawks are cutting MVS with the intention of bringing him back once the team's initial 53-man roster is set.

The Panthers released Renfrow on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Renfrow spent the offseason in Carolina working towards an NFL comeback, but he couldn't secure a spot. That may speak more to the Panthers' crowded wide receiver corps, headlined by Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring), Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, than it does Renfrow's ability to contribute as a depth option. He could be a candidate to end up on Carolina's practice squad.
