Palmer was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Palmer signed a reserve/future contract with Arizona in January, reeling in three catches for 18 yards over two preseason contests with the team. The wide receiver spent the 2024 season with the Cardinals' practice squad, and he may do the same in 2025.

Jackson was waived by Denver on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Jackson signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in April, however the rookie was unable to do enough to secure a roster spot in Denver's crowded wide receiver room. The 24-year-old wideout had a quiet preseason, recording just three receptions for 29 yards. Jackson will now turn his attention to securing a roster spot with another team ahead of the 2025 campaign, but it's possible he could ultimately be offered a spot on the Broncos' practice squad.

Bandy was waived by Denver on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Bandy was unable to earn a depth role in a crowded wide receiving corps ahead of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old wideout spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad, and he'll now look to secure a role on another team's roster. If Bandy is unable to latch on with another team, it's possible he could eventually sign with Denver's practice squad once again.

Sheppard was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Sheppard signed a deal with Green Bay in late July after going undrafted in April, catching three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown over two preseason contests. The wide receiver will now look for his next opportunity, which will likely come with a team's practice squad ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Colts waived Ajou on Tuesday.

Ajou has yet to secure an NFL roster spot since entering the league in 2023. He last played for the Roughriders of the CFL, posting a 20-307-2 line over 12 games.

The Bengals waived Williams on Tuesday.

Williams played eight games as an undrafted rookie last season and mostly worked as a returner, but he couldn't secure the job in Cincinnati with Charlie Jones on board. If Williams clears waivers, he'll likely seek a practice-squad role.

Hicks was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Hicks inked a reserve/future contract with Green Bay in January, reeling in five catches for 31 yards during the team's three preseason contests. The wide receiver will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, it's possible he sticks around with the Packers' practice squad.

The Bengals waived Pryor on Tuesday.

Pryor entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he finally made his NFL debut in 2022, suiting up in two games and catching one pass for nine yards. The Wisconsin product has experience as a returner, so he could be a fine option for the Bengals' practice squad.

The Bengals waived Moore on Tuesday.

Moore converted from quarterback to wide receiver during college and wound up being highly productive by his senior season at Duke, finishing with 55 receptions for 861 yards and eight touchdowns. However, the Bengals were too deep at wide receiver for the undrafted rookie to make an impact, meaning he'll likely head to the practice squad once he clears waivers.

The Bengals waived Mayes on Tuesday.

Mayes also went to college at Cincinnati where he posted 29 receptions for 349 yards and a touchdown in his final season. The Bengals have a crowded receiver room, so Mayes was always a longshot to make the roster. Mayes caught one of six targets for 48 yards in the preseason. He's a practice-squad candidate.
