Rashod Owens WR | CIN
Rashod Owens: Doesn't make 53-man roster
The Bengals waived Owens on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Owens played in all three of the Bengals' preseason games, finishing with three catches (on five targets) for 25 yards. The undrafted rookie won't be a part of Cincinnati's 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers, he could remain with the team as a member of the practice squad.

Kawaan Baker WR | GB
Kawaan Baker: Cut by Green Bay
Baker was waived by the Packers on Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Baker will once again be placed on waivers after the Packers claimed him Aug. 12 following his departure from Las Vegas. The wide receiver failed to record any stats while playing 16 offensive snaps in the Packers' 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday. Baker will now look for another opportunity elsewhere, though he could stick around Green Bay as a member of the practice squad.

Cole Burgess WR | PIT
Cole Burgess: Cut by Cincinnati
The Bengals waived Burgess on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Burgess played in all three preseason games and finished with two catches (on five targets) for 24 yards. He won't be part of the Bengals' 53-man roster, but he was part of the team's practice squad last year and could reprise that role in 2025.

Braylon Sanders WR | WAS
Braylon Sanders: Let go by Washington
The Commanders waived Sanders on Monday.
Sanders joined the Commanders in early August, and he finished the preseason with two catches on as many targets for 19 yards. He won't be a part of the team's 53-man roster for the start of the regular season, but Sanders could remain in Washington as part of the practice squad.

Dayton Wade WR | BAL
Ravens' Dayton Wade: Undergoing rib surgery
Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Wade will be "out for a while" due to a rib injury that he suffered during Saturday's preseason game against the Commanders, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
Wade suffered the injury on the first play of the second quarter, when he took a hit from Antonio Hamilton while hauling in a 15-yard pass. Wade spent the entire 2024 season on the Ravens' practice squad, but his injury makes it likely that he'll be part of the team's roster cuts Tuesday.

Xavier Guillory WR | BAL
Ravens' Xavier Guillory: Set for extended absence
Guillory broke his clavicle during the Ravens' preseason finale against the Commanders on Saturday, and head coach John Harbaugh relayed Monday that the undrafted rookie will be "out for a while," Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Guillory suffered the injury during the third quarter of Saturday's game, finishing the contest with three catches (on five targets) for 17 yards. He was a long shot to make the Ravens' 53-man roster, but he could be a member of the team's practice squad once he is fully recovered from the injury.

Efton Chism III WR | NE
Patriots' Efton Chism: Doesn't practice Monday
Chism (foot/ankle) did not participate in Monday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Chism continues to work through foot and ankle injuries that he picked up during the Patriots' second preseason game against the Vikings. The undrafted rookie has impressed the Patriots' coaching staff during training camp and has a solid chance of making the 53-man roster for the start of the regular season. If he does make the cut, Chism's practice participation over the next two weeks will indicate his availability for the Patriots' Week 1 contest against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Recovering from concussion
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Monday that Dulin has been "progressing well" in his recovery from a concussion that he sustained during practice last week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The injury forced Dulin to miss the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Saturday. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available for the Colts' Week 1 contest against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 7. Dulin finished the 2024 regular season with two catches (on eight targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown while adding five carries for 45 yards and 148 kick-return yards across 15 regular-season games.

TJ Sheffield WR | TEN
TJ Sheffield: Let go by Tennessee
The Titans waived Sheffield on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Sheffield signed with the Titans in May as an undrafted free agent. He was a long shot to make the 53-man roster, but he had his opportunities during the preseason, finishing with a 12-yard catch and 74 return yards on three kickoffs. Assuming he clears waivers, Sheffield will look to catch on with a team in need of a receiver on the practice squad.

Jha'Quan Jackson WR | NO
Jha'Quan Jackson: Let go by Tennessee
The Titans waived Jackson on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Jackson failed to record a catch across three preseason games, and while his clearest path to the Titans' 53-man roster was as a returner, he was outperformed by James Proche and fourth-round rookie Chimere Dike. Jackson won't be on Tennessee's main roster for the start of the regular season, but he could return to the team as a member of the practice squad assuming he clears waivers.
