  • John Jiles WR | NE

    John Jiles: Cut by New England

    The Patriots waived Jiles on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Undrafted out of West Florida last year, Jiles played 92 offensive snaps this preseason and caught nine of his 11 targets for 98 scoreless yards. He's a potential candidate to land back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Malachi Corley: Waived by Jets

    The Jets waived Corley on Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    The 2024 third-round pick lasted just one year with the team that drafted him, logging 83 snaps on offense and fumbling out of the end zone on one of his five touches. Corley should generate interest elsewhere in the NFL, if only as a practice-squad signing after clearing waivers.

  • Stephen Gosnell: Cut by Buffalo

    The Bills waived Gosnell on Tuesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Undrafted out of Virginia Tech earlier this year, Gosnell signed with Buffalo and logged 31 offensive snaps this preseason, securing all five of his targets for 41 yards.

  • JP Richardson WR | CHI

    JP Richardson: Cut by Chicago

    The Bears waived Richardson on Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Undrafted out of TCU earlier this year, Richardson reportedly flashed during training camp, according to Biggs, and is a candidate to rejoin the Bears on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Richardson played 46 offensive snaps during the preseason and caught four of six targets for 28 yards. He also recently dealt with an ankle injury.

  • Cornelius Johnson: Let go from Green Bay

    The Packers waived Johnson on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Johnson was a seventh-round pick by the Chargers last year and has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game. This preseason, Johnson logged 78 offensive snaps and caught six of his seven targets for 50 scoreless yards.

  • Laviska Shenault: Released by Buffalo

    The Bills released Shenault on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Shenault played a combined 70 snaps across offense and special teams during the preseason and caught just two of his five targets for 30 yards while returning seven kickoffs for 221 yards. He was competing for the returner gig and a depth wideout role in Buffalo.

  • Trey Palmer WR | NO

    Trey Palmer: Caught up in roster cuts

    The Buccaneers waived Palmer on Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Tampa Bay's decision to part ways with Palmer is somewhat surprising, given that the team projects to be without both Jalen McMillan (neck) and Chris Godwin (PUP-ankle) for at least the first month of the regular season. It's possible that the 2023 sixth-round pick lost out on a roster spot as a result of the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the Buccaneers' first two preseason games, though he returned for the team's final exhibition tilt against Buffalo on Saturday, securing one of two targets for 13 yards. If he clears waivers, Palmer seems likely to resurface on the practice squad.

  • Diontae Johnson: Released by Cleveland

    The Browns released Johnson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Johnson got extensive playing time this preseason, mostly with the second- and third-string offenses, but caught just two of six targets for 19 yards. He also failed to earn a meaningful role in Baltimore and Houston during the second half of last season, after enjoying a volume-fueled run of production for Carolina earlier in 2024. Jamari Thrash is the favorite for Cleveland's No. 3 receiver job in Week 1, behind presumed starters Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

  • Blayne Taylor WR | IND

    Blayne Taylor: Waived by Colts

    Taylor was waived by Indianapolis on Thursday, the Indianapolis Star reports.

    He caught just one pass in the preseason. The undrafted free agent from Abilene Christian will look to catch on elsewhere.

  • Buccaneers' Garrett Greene: Impresses in preseason finale

    Greene brought in all three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

    The converted quarterback flashed with a one-yard touchdown catch just past the two-minute warning, his first score of the exhibition slate. Greene recorded multiple receptions in all three preseason games, and he also gained 52 combined yards on a pair of punt returns and one kickoff runback. The versatile West Virginia product likely still has an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster due to the depth at receiver, but Greene may be an ideal practice-squad candidate.
