Jones was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

Quintez Cephus WR | HOU
Quintez Cephus: Let go by Texans
The Texans cut Cephus on Tuesday.
Cephus spent time with the Rams and 49ers this summer before ultimately landing with the Texans. The 2020 fifth-round pick out of Wisconsin hasn't played an NFL snap since the 2022 season, when he caught two passes (three targets) for 15 yards through four games. He'll aim to carve out a role on the practice squad this season.

Brooks impressed during the preseason, reeling in 10 balls for 90 yards over the team's three contests. The wide receiver will now be placed on waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, he's a likely candidate to join the Commanders' practice squad.

Dorian Singer: Cut by Jacksonville
The Jaguars waived Singer on Tuesday.
Singer linked up with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in late April and had a solid preseason, catching seven of eight targets for 59 yards over three contests. If he clears waivers, Singer could end up on the Jaguars' practice squad.

Darius Lassiter: Doesn't land roster spot

Kristian Wilkerson WR | BUF
Kristian Wilkerson: Hits waivers
The Bills released Wilkerson on Tuesday.
Wilkerson has played in nine games since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2020, recording six receptions for 60 yards and three touchdowns in that span. The 28-year-old hasn't shown enough on special teams to make the final roster, but he'll aim to secure a spot on the practice squad.

Deon Cain WR | BUF
Deon Cain: Cut loose by Bills
The Bills released Cain on Tuesday.
Cain spent part of the 2024 season on the Bills' practice squad but never suited up for a game. The 29-year-old hasn't played an NFL snap since the 2020 season, although he has played in the USFL and UFL the last three springs and was highly productive. Cain will be a candidate for the practice squad once again.

River Cracraft WR | WAS
River Cracraft: Released by Washington
Cracraft was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Cracraft signed with Washington on Aug. 14 and failed to record any stats with the team during the preseason. The wide receiver played in eight regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2024, catching seven of nine targets for 66 yards, and he will likely find another suitor in the near future.

K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
K.J. Osborn: Cut by Washington
Osborn was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Osborn will hit free agency after compiling five receptions for 35 yards while appearing in all three preseason games with Washington. The wide receiver played in eight regular-season contests with the Patriots and Commanders in 2024, catching seven of 18 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. Osborn will likely find another opportunity in the near future.

Landon Parker WR | IND
Landon Parker: Fails to crack 53-man roster
The Colts waived Parker on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Parker inked a contract with the Colts in late April as an undrafted free agent. The Troy product played in all three preseason games but finished with just two catches (on four targets) for 12 yards while adding an assisted tackle. Parker will likely clear waivers, at which point he'll explore signing with a team in need of wide receiver depth on the practice squad.
