Fitzpatrick (undisclosed) was waived by the Chargers with an injury designation Thursday.

Fitzpatrick spent most of the 2024 season on the Chargers' practice squad and he'll revert to the team's injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old wide receiver has appeared in seven regular-season games.

Downs left Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

The report notes that Downs walked off under his own power, but the wideout's status for Saturday's preseason contest against the Packers nonetheless is worth monitoring. Consider Downs day-to-day for now.

Virgil was waived by the Bills on Thursday.

Virgil appeared in seven regular-season games for the Bills in 2024 and contributed two tackles on special teams but didn't log a target on offense. He'll be free to sign with any team if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Reed (foot) is not wearing a walking boot at Thursday's practice, though he is not participating in on-field activities, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Reed appears to be making incremental progress in his recovery from a lingering foot injury, though he still appears on track to sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Colts as the Packers continue to prioritize his availability for Week 1. Green Bay's passing offense is heavily depleted at Thursday's practice, with Jordan Love (thumb) sidelined, along with wideouts Reed, Romeo Doubs (back), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Christian Watson (ACL), the latter of whom remains on the active/PUP list.

Doubs (back) won't practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Doubs left Tuesday's practice following a collision, telling reporters afterward that his apparent back injury was nothing serious. Packers coach Matt LaFleur reiterated Thursday that it isn't a major issue, which is especially good news for a team that's been practicing without Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) for most of training camp. Doubs remains on track for the Week 1 start opposite rookie Matthew Golden, while either Reed, Wicks or Malik Heath figures to be the third/slot receiver in Green Bay's opener against Detroit (Sept. 7).

Strachan was waived by the Commanders on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Strachan has appeared in 23 regular-season games split between the Colts and Panthers, but he didn't play a single regular-season snap in 2024 and won't get a chance to suit up with Washington in 2025. The 28-year-old wide receiver will hope to get an opportunity with another NFL team during the preseason.

Cracraft (undisclosed) signed with the Commanders on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Cracraft was released with a non-football injury designation by the Seahawks in May, but he has subsequently recovered. The 30-year-old wide receiver has 53 games of regular-season experience under his belt but will be fighting an uphill battle to make Washington's 53-man roster.

Hill (oblique) won't practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

The report suggests that Hill, who has been managing an oblique injury, made a push to be on the field Thursday, but the Dolphins training staff is inclined to play it safe with the wideout in order to avoid a setback. With coach Mike McDaniel having indicated that at this stage he's not planning on using his starters this weekend, per Dante Collinelli of SI.com, Hill's next chance to see game action will occur Saturday, Aug. 23 against the Jaguars.

Waddle is taking part in team drills at Thursday's joint practice with the Lions, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Waddle returned to practice Wednesday, also a joint session with the Detroit, though coach Mike McDaniel said his rep count was limited, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. While Waddle's overall workload may still be being managed Thursday, he essentially appears back to full health after having been banged-up during a collision with a Bears defender in last week's joint practices. If McDaniel opts to play the starters during Saturday's exhibition matchup against the Lions, it doesn't appear injuries would prevent Waddle from suiting up.

Rice (groin) is expected to have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL scheduled for Tues., Sept. 30, making him likely to play in Kansas City's first four games of the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Rice's disciplinary hearing with the NFL is expected to result in a multi-game suspension relating to his involvement in a multi-car crash that occurred in Dallas during the 2024 offseason, and a scheduling date of Sept. 30 likely now means that any missed time would come either in the middle of the 2025 campaign, or be deferred until 2026. That at least provides clarity that Rice, who missed the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Cardinals due to what coach Andy Reid described as a minor groin injury, should be available for the first four games of the regular season at a minimum, beginning Week 1 against the Chargers on Friday, Sept. 5. The status of both Rice and Hollywood Brown (ankle) remains uncertain for Friday's exhibition matchup against Seattle.
