Restrepo is signing with Tennessee's practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Restrepo failed to make the Titans' 53-man roster, but the undrafted rookie wide receiver will stay in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He was the top wide receiver for rookie Titans quarterback Cameron Ward when they played together in college at Miami.

Valdes-Scantling is signing with the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Released by Seattle a day earlier, Valdes-Scantling will join one of the few teams that can offer him a chance at Week 1 snaps. San Francisco wideouts Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Demarcus Robinson (suspension) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) are already ruled out for Week 1, while Jauan Jennings (calf/contract) and Jordan Watkins (ankle) are uncertain. Ricky Pearsall is locked in as one starter, but everything else is up in the air, potentially allowing Valdes-Scantling to come in and contribute without much prep time the way the did in New Orleans after the Bills released him last year.

Campbell was claimed off waivers by the Panthers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Campbell was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday despite leading the team with 147 preseason receiving yards, but his efforts didn't go unnoticed, as the Panthers have swooped in to add Campbell to their 53-man roster after trading away veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen to the Vikings on Wednesday. Campbell, an undrafted rookie out of South Carolina, figures to begin the regular season in a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring), Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker and David Moore in Carolina's inexperienced wide receiver room.

The Saints won a waiver claim for Palmer on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Palmer jumps from one NFC South team to another after sliding down the depth chart in Tampa Bay the past couple years. The Saints don't have nearly as much talent at wide receiver, but they currently have fewer injuries at the position, which means Palmer is unlikely to have a significant Week 1 role. A 2023 sixth-round pick, Palmer got a lot of playing time as a rookie but produced just 385 yards on 68 targets (5.7 YPT) before dropping to 22 targets (and improving to 7.8 YPT) in a depth role last year. He's the second late addition at WR in New Orleans following a trade for Devaughn Vele last week. The depth chart now looks a bit better behind locked-in starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, but the Saints' QB situation remains among the worst in the league -- the team is starting Spencer Rattler in Week 1 against Arizona.

Trammell was waived by the Jaguars on Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

Trammell made it through cutdown day, only to get waived the following day to make room on the roster for trade acquisition Tim Patrick. Trammell will likely latch on with Jacksonville's practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

New England released Bourne (foot) on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Bourne was one of eight wide receivers to make the Patriots' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he then requested to be released. Now healthy after having missed most of August with a foot injury, Bourne figures to seek an opportunity elsewhere in the league where he has a clearer path to getting on the field as a depth contributor. The 30-year-old veteran could be a fit for San Francisco, where he played the first four years of his NFL career and could help bolster the team's banged-up receiver corps.

Collins is included on the Giants' initial 53-man roster.

Collins is a bit of a Cinderella story -- he signed with New York as a free agent in late April after not being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Notre Dame product earned the roster spot with a strong training camp, and though he caught only one pass in preseason play, it was an 80-yard connection with Russell Wilson. While Collins will begin the season at the bottom half of New York's wideout depth chart, he could have a chance to move up if he performs well -- the team's receiving corps may have room to shuffle behind Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder/back), especially with an entirely new QB room offering a different skill set than last year's iteration.

Rice and the NFL are finalizing an agreement to suspend him for the first six games of the 2025 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Rice will first be eligible to play Oct. 19 against Las Vegas in Week 7. He had a meeting with the league scheduled for Sept. 30 but ended up agreeing to a deal that will get him back in the lineup before mid-season. The NFL and NFLPA are now working to finalize a settlement. The Chiefs are three-point favorites against the Chargers at online sports betting sites.

Greene was waived Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Greene showcased his versatility in the preseason, as the former West Virginia quarterback scored a receiving touchdown in the preseason finale and also contributed on special teams. That wasn't enough to make Tampa Bay's 53-man roster, but Greene could land on the practice squad after passing through waivers.

Houston (groin) was waived Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Houston's groin injury has healed, but he failed to make Tampa Bay's initial 53-man roster. The 26-year-old wide receiver will be a candidate for Tampa Bay's practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
