The Falcons signed Nash to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Nash put together a 12/136/0 stat line across three preseason games. He wasn't able to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster, but the undrafted rookie out of San Jose State will remain in the organization as part of the team's practice squad. Nash is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Falcons require depth at wide receiver.

Pritchett signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

Pritchett caught seven of 15 targets for 70 yards through three preseason games. An undrafted rookie out of South Alabama, Pritchett also worked as the team's primary punt returner during the preseason with nine returns for 103 yards (11.4 YPR), including a 41-yard return. Xavier Gipson (shoulder) is expected to be the Jets' punt returner during the regular season, so Pritchett will continue to hone his craft on the practice squad.

Richardson signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was waived Tuesday after playing 46 preseason snaps and catching four of six targets for 28 yards. Richardson did have a strong camp, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, so his return to the club via the practice squad is perhaps not a surprise. At the same time, the undrafted free agent out of TCU likely faces an uphill battle for a roster spot on a Bears team with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden leading the receiver room.

The Falcons signed Drummond to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Drummond finished the preseason with 14 catches (on 17 targets) for 96 yards in three games but was unable to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster. He'll remain in Atlanta on the team's practice squad for a second-straight season and could be elevated to the active roster if the Falcons require depth at wide receiver.

Felton (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with the Giants on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Felton was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, and he will now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2025 season while on IR with an undisclosed injury. The wide receiver would be eligible to return to action this year if he reached an injury settlement with the team, but otherwise, he'll shift his focus to being ready for 2026.

Boykin landed on the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was let go by the team Tuesday despite a strong training camp and preseason. Given his performance in camp, Boykin's signing to the practice squad is perhaps not a surprise, though he faces an uphill battle for a roster spot during the regular season due to Chicago's depth at wide receiver. The 2019 third-round pick of the Ravens spent time on multiple practice squads in 2024 but never appeared in a regular-season game.

The Falcons signed Blair to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Blair had an impressive training camp and finished the preseason with 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 197 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He wasn't able to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster, but he will stick around on the practice squad and could be elevated if Atlanta needs depth at wide receiver on game day. Blair has appeared in five regular-season games since joining the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted rookie.

McDonald (undisclosed) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.

McDonald impressed at Browns' rookie minicamp and stuck with the team through the summer and played all three preseason games, finishing with two receptions for 11 yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old receiver will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Alexander signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was waived by the team Tuesday after falling short of the 53-man roster, but he was able to stay with Chicago after clearing waivers. Alexander signed a reserve/future contract with the Bears in January after spending the last three years with the Lions. The Florida International product has one career regular-season catch for seven yards.

The Saints signed Austin to the practice squad Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Austin logged 305 offensive snaps with the Saints in 2024 after beginning the season on the practice squad. He could have a similar trajectory in 2025, though New Orleans recently added Devaughn Vele and Trey Palmer to bolster their receiver depth chart.
