Chicago waived Alexander on Tuesday.

Alexander boasts familiarity with Bears coach Ben Johnson's offensive scheme, as he spent the last three seasons with Detroit, but that won't be enough to earn him a spot on the initial 53-man roster. It could make Alexander a leading candidate to resurface on the practice squad, though.

The Colts waived Owen on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Owen signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May and entered training camp competing for a depth spot at wide receiver. He led all Colts receivers in catches (13) and targets (16) while finishing second in yards (124) with a touchdown across three preseason games, but it wasn't enough for the Ohio product to crack the team's 53-man roster. Still, Owen showed enough during training camp and the preseason to garner interest from teams looking to add wide receiver depth through the waiver wire. If he clears waivers, Owen would be a candidate to return to the Colts as a member of the practice squad.

The Bears released Boykin on Tuesday.

Boykin put together a strong training camp and preseason with Chicago, but he was always facing an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster due to the team's depth at wide receiver. He'll be a candidate to end up on the Bears' practice squad.

The Jaguars waived Brayboy on Tuesday.

Brayboy inked a deal with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in late April and appeared in all three of the team's preseason contests, but he didn't catch any of his four targets. The 24-year-old was added to the CFL's Edmonton Elks' negotiation list Tuesday.

Indianapolis waived Kahmann on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

The undrafted rookie played in all three of the Colts' preseason games, finishing with two catches (on four targets) for eight yards. Kahmann will have an opportunity to sign with another team assuming he clears waivers and could catch on with a practice squad in need of depth at wide receiver.

Dallas waived Holden on Tuesday.

Holden went undrafted out of Oregon back in April, and despite spending the entire offseason with the Cowboys, he couldn't secure a role on the 53-man roster. He'll now likely need to search for a role on a practice squad for his next NFL opportunity, whether with Dallas or elsewhere.

Jacksonville released Irwin on Tuesday.

Irwin joined the Jaguars on a one-year contract in early June, but he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old could get a chance with another club in need of veteran wideout depth.

The Texans placed Dell (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

Dell will be required to miss a minimum of four games, though it remains to be see exactly when -- if at all -- he'll be ready to resume practicing. The 2023 third-round pick is recovering from a severe knee injury sustained last December. Nico Collins and Christian Kirk will kick off the 2025 campaign as C.J. Stroud's clear top two wide receivers, while rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel compete for No. 3 reps.

Dallas waived Moreno-Cropper on Tuesday.

Moreno-Cropper suited up for one regular-season game with the Cowboys as a rookie last season, but he spent most of the year on the team's practice squad. He could reunite with Dallas in a similar capacity for the 2025 campaign.

The Colts released Treadwell on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Treadwell opted to stay in Indianapolis on a futures deal in January after spending most of the 2024 campaign on the Colts' practice squad, though he did play in two regular-season games. The veteran wideout didn't stand out across the Colts' first two preseason games, but he made his case for the 53-man roster during Saturday's preseason finale against the Bengals, when he caught six passes on as many targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. It ultimately wasn't enough for Treadwell to make the cut, but the 2016 first-rounder could stick around on the Colts' practice squad for a second straight year.
