The 49ers waived Owens on Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Owens spent most of last season on the Niners' practice squad. On 33 offensive snaps this preseason, Owens produced a 2-39-1 receiving line. He's a candidate to rejoin the team on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Larvadain will make Cleveland's initial 53-man roster rather than being among Tuesday's cuts, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Larvadain has parlayed an impressive preseason into a spot on Cleveland's initial 53-man roster, though the Browns' plans could still change before Week 1, considering the amount of players around the league being released or waived Tuesday. Still, the undrafted rookie out of South Carolina has defied odds to begin his NFL career and will continue working to compete with Isaiah Bond, Jamari Thrash and DeAndre Carter for depth opportunities behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman (thumb).

The Texans waived Jackson on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jackson joined the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota earlier this year. He appeared in all three preseason games and produced a 2-16-1 receiving line.

The Titans released Proche on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Proche caught four passes for 43 yards on seven targets during the preseason after signing with Tennessee back in March. Turning 29 years old next month, Proche will try to land a gig elsewhere.

The Titans waived Restrepo on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After going undrafted in April, Restrepo signed with Tennessee to reunite with his college quarterback, Cameron Ward. Restrepo played in all three preseason contests but caught just three passes for 26 yards on six targets. He's expected to be a candidate for the Titans' practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Bills cut Hamler on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hamler suited up for all three preseason games and caught five passes for 79 yards and one touchdown on six targets during the exhibitions. It still wasn't enough to win a job in a crowded Bills receiver room.

The Eagles waived Smith on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Smith was a fifth-round pick out of Texas A&M last year and appeared in seven regular-season games as a rookie, catching seven of his nine targets for 41 yards and one touchdown. He produced a 6-40-2 receiving line on 86 offensive snaps this preseason. The Eagles will likely try to sneak Smith through waivers and onto the practice squad.

The Cardinals released Fehoko on Tuesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

This one comes as a mild surprise, as Fehoko appeared to be a leading candidate for one of the final wideout spots in Arizona due to his ability to play special teams. Fehoko played 41 offensive snaps and another 21 on special teams during the preseason, securing three of his six targets for 31 yards and two touchdowns.

The Packers waived Neyor on Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Nebraska logged 66 offensive snaps this preseason but failed to catch a pass on three targets. He'll look for an opportunity elsewhere.

The Broncos waived Perry on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Perry spent the first few weeks of training camp on the active/PUP list, so he was already behind the curve in terms of winning a roster spot. After missing the first two preseason games, Perry logged 10 offensive snaps in the exhibition finale but failed to catch his only target.
