Campbell was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.

Campbell led the team with eight catches and 147 receiving yards while playing in three preseason games. The wide receiver signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in May, and if he clears waivers, there's a good chance he sticks around as a member of the practice squad.

The 49ers waived Bergen on Tuesday.

A rookie seventh-round pick, Bergen was unable to secure a roster spot with the 49ers despite their injury-riddled receiver room. The Montana product was likely drafted for his returning abilities, as he returned eight punts and one kick return for touchdowns during college, but he didn't show enough during the preseason to secure a role. Bergen has a strong case for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

The 49ers released Turner on Tuesday.

Turner played in all three preseason games for the 49ers and posted three receptions (five targets) for 41 yards. The 29-year-old wide receiver last made a serious impact with the Cowboys in 2021 when he reeled in 12 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns while contributing on special teams. Turner will aim to secure a practice-squad role this year.

The 49ers released Chosen on Tuesday.

Chosen played all three preseason games for the 49ers and registered nine receptions for 117 yards and no touchdowns. Nevertheless, he was shown the door despite a thin wide receiver room with multiple injuries in San Francisco. At 32 years old, Chosen's best days are likely behind him. He played two games with the Dolphins last season and caught one pass for five yards.

The 49ers released Hodgins on Tuesday.

Hodgins was a productive player with the Giants between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, tallying 54 catches for 581 yards and seven touchdowns. However, he fell out of favor in 2024 and spent most of the season on the practice squad. Hodgins may be headed toward a similar fate in 2025.

The 49ers released Gage (knee) on Tuesday.

Gage suffered a sprained MCL on Aug. 21 and was expected to miss seven to 10 days, meaning he could be ready for Week 1 if he signs elsewhere. The 2018 sixth-round pick last played for the Buccaneers in 2022 and posted 51 receptions for 426 yards and five touchdowns through 13 games. Gage suffered a season-ending injury during training camp in 2023, and he failed to make an active roster in 2024.

The Falcons waived Nash on Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.

Despite finishing second on the Falcons in catches (12) and receiving yards (136) across three preseason games, Nash will not be on the initial 53-man roster for the start of the regular season. The undrafted rookie out of San Jose State should garner some interest on the waiver wire, but he would be a candidate to remain in Atlanta on the team's practice squad were he to go unclaimed.

The Lions waived Keeney-James on Tuesday.

An undrafted free agent out of Massachusetts, Keeney-James led the Minutemen with 50 catches for 839 yards and six touchdowns through 12 games in 2024. Keeney-James will turn 25 years old in September. He'll look to secure a practice-squad role if he clears waivers.

The Falcons waived Drummond on Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.

Drummond made a strong impression in the Falcons' preseason opener against the Lions, finishing with eight catches on as many targets for 63 yards. He accumulated just six catches (on nine targets) for 33 yards over the final two exhibition contests, and his overall performance in training camp and the preseason wasn't enough for him to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster. Drummond spent most of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad, and he could reprise that role for the 2025 campaign if he clears waivers.

Williams was released by the Eagles on Tuesday.

Williams operated exclusively as a return-specialist during the preseason, returning two kickoffs for 49 yards, while also adding 26 yards on four punt returns. The wide receiver played in all 17 regular-season games over each of the last two seasons with the Falcons, and he will likely not have to wait long for another opportunity ahead of the 2025 campaign.
