Tillman (thumb) is participating in Tuesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Tillman missed nearly a week of practice due to a minor thumb injury, but he's now back on the field well in advance of Cleveland's regular-season opener against Cincinnati. He's primed to kick off the 2025 campaign as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Jerry Jeudy, in a Browns passing game that should at least have a higher floor with Joe Flacco under center than it did last season.

New York waived Wells on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Wells is among players caught up in roster cuts as the Giants move toward a 53-man group. The undrafted rookie spent his final collegiate season at Ole Miss, where he connected with Jaxson Dart to the tune of 28 catches for 553 yards and six touchdowns across 13 games. That rapport with Dart could assist Wells' chances of resurfacing on the Giants' practice squad.

The Patriots informed Chism (foot/ankle) on Tuesday that he's made the initial 53-man roster, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Chism has successfully defied the odds after going undrafted out of Eastern Washington back in April, as he'll begin his NFL career on New England's active roster with a chance to contribute both as a depth wideout and on special teams. He missed the Patriots' preseason finale due to what appears to be a minor ankle or foot injury, which he sustained during the team's second preseason game against Minnesota. Chism will work to get fully healthy in time to face the Raiders in Week 1.

McMillan (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

McMillan was sidelined a little more than a week due to a minor hamstring injury, but getting back on the field more than a week before Week 1 prep begins bodes well for the eighth overall pick in this year's draft. It remains to be seen if he'll avoid the injury report entirely once Carolina is required to post one ahead of their season opener against Jacksonville.

The Seahawks released Valdes-Scantling on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Valdes-Scantling was fighting for the Seahawks' WR3 gig behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but it appears as though rookie Tory Horton (ankle) has won the job. It's also possible the Seahawks are cutting MVS with the intention of bringing him back once the team's initial 53-man roster is set.

The Panthers released Renfrow on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Renfrow spent the offseason in Carolina working towards an NFL comeback, but he couldn't secure a spot. That may speak more to the Panthers' crowded wide receiver corps, headlined by Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring), Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, than it does Renfrow's ability to contribute as a depth option. He could be a candidate to end up on Carolina's practice squad.

The Commanders waived Martin on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Martin will be an option to land on Washington's practice squad, if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old wideout appeared in one regular-season game with the Titans last season and got a chance to make the first catch of his NFL career, securing one of two targets for a 49-yard touchdown.

The Eagles waived Morin on Tuesday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Undrafted out of Wake Forest earlier this year, Morin signed with the Eagles and appeared in all three preseason contests, producing a 5-46-0 receiving line.

The Cowboys waived Brooks on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Brooks appeared in 14 regular-season games with Dallas last season and turned 30 targets into a 12-177-1 receiving line. He had a 5-72-1 line across three preseason contests this summer. If Brooks clears waivers, he could be a candidate to rejoin the team via the practice squad.

The Bears waived Scott on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Scott was a fourth-round pick by the Bears in the 2023 Draft and appeared in 28 regular-season games across his first two seasons, catching 18 passes for 173 scoreless yards. He accrued a 7-99-1 receiving line this preseason but will look for an opportunity elsewhere.
