Newton was waived by the Broncos on Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Newton had a productive collegiate career with Toledo but was always a longshot to make Denver's roster after joining the team as an undrafted free agent. He made five catches for 26 yards across three preseason games.

Rowan was waived by the Broncos on Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Rowan joined the Broncos as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 Draft. He logged four catches during Denver's preseason slate, but he'll now look to latch on elsewhere around the league.

Presley was waived by the Chiefs on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Presley signed with Kansas City in late July, reeling in two catches for 20 yards over three preseason contests with the team. He will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there's a good chance he'll stick around as a member of the Chiefs' practice squad.

Rice is slated to be waived by the Chargers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Rice appeared in three of the team's preseason contests, reeling in three catches for 32 yards. The wide receiver appeared in three regular-season contests with Los Angeles in 2024, failing to record any stats while playing three offensive snaps and 10 snaps on special teams. Rice will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there's a solid chance he sticks around as a member of the Chargers' practice squad.

Jackson was waived by the Raiders on Monday.

Jackson signed with Las Vegas in May as an undrafted free agent, but he failed to record any stats during the preseason. The wide receiver will likely clear waivers, and he may stick around with the Raiders' practice squad.

Johnson was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Johnson signed with Las Vegas in May after appearing in nine regular-season games with the Bears in 2024. The wide receiver secured five catches for 42 yards while playing in all of the Raiders' preseason contests. Johnson will likely find a new opportunity in the near future, though he may have to settle for a practice-squad spot ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Dorsett was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Dorsett signed with Las Vegas in July, recording three catches for 36 yards while appearing in one preseason game with the team. The wide receiver spent a substantial chunk of the 2024 campaign with the Falcons' practice squad, and he'll likely garner a similar opportunity with another team ahead of the 2025 season.

Callaway was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Callaway signed with Las Vegas on Aug. 11 after being let go by the 49ers, and he caught one pass for eight yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals. The wide receiver will likely find a practice-squad opportunity in the near future.

McCutcheon was waived by the Steelers on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

McCutcheon signed a futures deal with the Steelers in January and entered training camp with an outside chance of making the 53-man roster. He showed some flashes during training camp, and across three preseason games he logged five catches (on eight targets) for 66 yards and a touchdown. McCutcheon was unable to survive the Steelers' roster cuts, but assuming he clears waivers, he could remain in Pittsburgh as a member of the practice squad.

Horton (ankle) is expected to resume practicing next week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Horton suffered an ankle injury in Seattle's second preseason game and hasn't been able to practice since. His projected return to the field bodes well for his chances of playing in a Week 1 matchup against the 49ers, but it will be worth monitoring his activity level next week. Assuming he can suit up, Horton projects to be on the field in three-receiver sets.
