  • Kawaan Baker WR | GB

    Packers' Kawaan Baker: Claimed by Green Bay

    The Packers claimed Baker off waivers from the Raiders on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Baker played five offensive snaps in the Raiders' preseason opener against the Seahawks last Thursday but didn't draw a target. The Packers are dealing with all sorts of injuries in their wide receiver room, so Baker gives them a healthy body to get through camp and the preseason. He's never caught a regular-season pass in the NFL.

  • Chris Tyree WR | NO

    Chris Tyree: Becomes free agent

    New Orleans waived Tyree (undisclosed) from its injured reserve list Tuesday with an injury settlement, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    It looked as though Tyree was going to have to spend the entire 2025 campaign on the Saints' injured reserve list, but he'll now get to test the waters of free agency instead. It might be on another team to give him another opportunity once he's fully healthy again.

  • John Jackson: Cut by Chicago

    The Bears waived Jackson on Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Jackson spent most of last season on Chicago's practice squad, and he's yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game. He played 12 offensive snaps in the Bears' preseason opener against Miami on Sunday, catching one of his four targets for seven yards. Jackson was also credited with a dropped pass.

  • A.T. Perry WR | PIT

    Broncos' A.T. Perry: Activated from PUP list

    The Broncos activated Perry (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Perry missed the first three-plus weeks of camp with an undisclosed injury, but he passed his physical Tuesday and can practice. With Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant entrenched on the depth chart, Perry is behind the eight ball in the competition for a roster spot.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Back at practice Tuesday

    McConkey (undisclosed) participated in 11-on-11 drills during Tuesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    McConkey said afterwards that he's close to 100 percent healthy, noting that he's focused on "getting my conditioning back to where it needs to be." The 2024 second-rounder has been sidelined due to an undisclosed injury, but he is progressing in his recovery and could be available to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.

  • Falcons' Quincy Skinner: Secures lone target

    Skinner caught his only target for 14 yards during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.

    Despite all of the starters and most of the primary reserves sitting this one out, the undrafted rookie out of Vanderbilt played only two offensive snaps. Skinner is unlikely to make the 53-man roster in a crowded wideout room.

  • Jesse Matthews WR | ATL

    Falcons' Jesse Matthews: Fails to haul in lone target

    Matthews failed to catch his lone target during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards.

    Despite playing 23 offensive snaps, the second-most among wideouts behind Dylan Drummond, Matthews was a nonfactor on offense. The undrafted free agent out of San Diego State missed the entire 2023 campaign due to an ACL tear and spent last season on the Falcons' practice squad. Despite the familiarity with the organization, it's unlikely Matthews lands a spot on the initial 53-man roster.

  • Nick Nash WR | WAS

    Falcons' Nick Nash: Trustworthy pass catcher in debut

    Nash caught all three of his targets for 35 yards during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.

    The undrafted rookie out of San Jose State played only 10 offensive snaps but was heavily involved during a drive in the third quarter. Despite the strong first impression, Nash has a long way to go to make the initial 53-man roster.

  • Chris Blair WR | ATL

    Falcons' Chris Blair: Catches TD in preseason opener

    Blair caught three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.

    The undrafted wideout from Alcorn State has made five regular-season appearances with the Falcons over the last two seasons, securing only one of two targets for 17 yards. Like Dylan Drummond, Blair's familiarity with the organization and strong impression in the preseason opener help his chances of making the team. However, there's still stiff competition for roster spots behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Jamal Agnew's return abilities, he'll likely take the fifth spot, leaving Blair to compete with Casey Washington, DJ Chark, David Sills and Drummond for potentially only one spot.

  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Busy day in preseason opener

    Drummond caught all eight of his targets for 63 yards during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.

    Drummond spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Falcons' practice squad, and the familiarity paid off, as he had a big performance in the preseason opener. However, he hasn't played in an NFL regular-season game since 2023 with the Lions, and there's stiff competition for the final wideout spots behind the returning top guys: Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Jamal Agnew's return abilities, he'll likely take the fifth spot, leaving Drummond to compete with Casey Washington, DJ Chark, David Sills and Chris Blair for potentially only one spot.
