  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Michael Gallup: Let go by Commanders

    Washington released Gallup on Monday.

    Gallup came out of retirement back in March and spent the entire offseason with the Commanders, but while he could be a candidate to resurface on the practice squad, he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old wideout last suited up for regular-season action in 2023 with the Cowboys, when he played all 17 games and posted a 34-418-2 line on 57 targets.

  • Matt Landers WR | TEN

    Matt Landers: Waived with injury designation

    The Titans waived Landers (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday.

    Landers didn't play in either of the Titans' final two preseason contests after logging nine offensive snaps in the exhibition opener. He'll revert to injured reserve in Tennessee if he clears waivers.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Approaching return to practice

    Coach Shane Steichen expects Downs (hamstring) to return to practice by next week, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Downs has been dealing with a hamstring issue since Aug. 14, but it appears as though he's not too far away from returning to practice. With that in mind, the wideout is trending toward being ready for Week 1 action, in the absence of any setbacks.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Requests trade

    Meyers has requested a trade from the Raiders, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

    Per Pelissero, after Meyers -- who is due $10.76 million in the last year of his contract -- couldn't agree on an extension with the Raiders, the wideout requested a trade. That said, Rapoport notes that at this stage the team has no plans to deal the 28-year-old, who caught 87 passes in 15 regular-season games in 2024.

  • Josh Kelly WR | HOU

    Josh Kelly: Cut by Dallas

    The Cowboys waived Kelly on Monday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech earlier in the offseason, Kelly played 68 offensive snaps this preseason and caught two passes for 25 yards on six targets.

  • Roderick Daniels: Cut by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Daniels on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Undrafted out of SMU earlier this year, Daniels signed with the Saints and played six offensive snaps this preseason. He failed to catch his lone target.

  • Andre Baccellia: Waived by Arizona

    The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Baccellia has been in Arizona's organization since 2021, and the plan is to bring him back on the practice squad if he clears waivers, according to Wilson. Baccellia has seven career catches for 45 yards across 13 regular-season appearances.

  • Moochie Dixon: Cut by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Dixon on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Dixon signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of SMU back in April. He played just seven offensive snaps during the preseason and wasn't targeted in the passing game.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: On track for Week 1

    Coach Aaron Glenn noted Monday that Lazard (shoulder) is on track to be available for Week 1 action, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Lazard, who sustained a shoulder injury in the Jets' Aug. 9 preseason opener, still could appear on the team's first official injury report ahead of Week 1, but barring any setbacks the veteran pass catcher appears to be in line to be available versus the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 7. Beyond the fact that Garrett Wilson is New York's clear-cut top wideout, slotting behind him is up for grabs, with Lazard, Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson and Arian Smith currently in the mix for WR targets that don't go Wilson's way.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Gets extension, ending hold-in

    McLaurin and the Commanders agreed to terms Monday on a three-year contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    McLaurin officially came off the active/PUP list Aug. 16, but he'd been sitting out practice and preseason action until such time as an agreement was finally reached on a new contract. The soon-to-be 30-year-old wideout officially will end his hold-in and suit up for on-field practices with Washington, with just under two weeks to go before the team's regular-season opener against the Giants on Sunday, Sept. 7. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McLaurin's new deal is a three-year, $96 million extension. Fantasy managers may still have trouble shaking lingering concerns about McLaurin having missed all of training camp and the preseason, but he remains solidified as Jayden Daniels' clear No. 1 wideout in a passing game that appears primed to take another step forward with the star signal-caller entering Year 2 and Deebo Samuel upgrading the No. 2 receiver role.
