The Cardinals waived Akharaiyi on Tuesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Akharaiyi has been cut three times in the past month, twice by Buffalo and now once by Arizona. The undrafted rookie out of Mississippi State has yet to play an offensive snap this preseason.

Wilson was carted off the practice field with an apparent left leg injury Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Wilson hobbled off the field and couldn't put any weight on his left leg, per Kubena. Wilson has seen extensive preseason action, logging 65 offensive snaps through two games, and has posted a 3-73-0 receiving line on six targets. Wilson is a powerful blocker in the running game as a wide receiver for Philly.

Harris (knee) did not participate in practice Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Harris donned a knee brace off to the side of practice. He just signed with Tampa Bay earlier this month and is a long shot to make the roster, as he's not expected to play in the preseason finale Saturday, according to Auman.

Buffalo waived Prather (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday.

Prather was dealing with a hamstring injury early in camp but was healthy enough to play in this past Sunday's preseason game against Chicago, where he logged 10 offensive snaps. The seventh-round rookie out of Maryland will revert to the Bills' injured-reserve list if he clears waivers.

DuBose signed with the Bills on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A seventh-round pick by the Packers in 2023, DuBose appeared in three regular-season games for the Dolphins last season, catching two passes for 11 yards on four targets. DuBose has an uphill climb to win a roster spot in Buffalo.

Egubka's teammate Jalen McMillan (neck) is expected to miss a large portion of the upcoming season, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Chris Godwin, meanwhile, remains on the PUP list and has yet to practice since suffering an ankle dislocation and ligament damage last October. With Godwin uncertain for Week 1 and McMillan likely headed for IR, Egbuka may step right in as Tampa Bay's No. 2 receiver alongside Mike Evans. The 19th overall pick in the 2025 Draft has taken plenty of first-team reps this summer, including during Saturday's preseason win over the Steelers.

The Buccaneers are expected to place McMillan (neck) on injured reserve when they finalize the 53-man roster, which will force him to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles said that McMillan suffered a "severely sprained neck" during Saturday's preseason win over Pittsburgh, and the wideout's recovery timetable could stretch beyond the team's Week 9 bye. With Chris Godwin (ankle) still uncertain for Week 1 and a candidate to miss time early in the season, six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans and rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka appear primed to open the regular season as quarterback Baker Mayfield's top two receivers, while tight end Cade Otton stands to also benefit from an uptick in target volume.

Hopkins (knee) is participating in practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Hopkins didn't practice Monday, so even if he's limited to individual drills Tuesday, it's encouraging to see the veteran wideout back on the field. Baltimore figures to fully prioritize getting Hopkins back to full health ahead of Week 1 against the Bills, so even if the starters take the field during Saturday's preseason finale against Washington, the 33-year-old receiver could be held out.

Nabers (toe/shoulder/back) is expected to participate in practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Coach Brian Daboll indicated Nabers will be limited, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see the second-year wideout back on the field. He missed time earlier this summer with a lingering toe injury, suffered a shoulder injury on a hard landing during training camp, and then more recently has been held out of practice due to a minor back injury. Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports that the team still fully expects Nabers to be ready for Week 1 against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 7, but that he will not suit up for Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots.

Wicks (calf) is not participating in practice Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks' calf injury has forced him to miss back-to-back preseason games, meaning Saturday's exhibition finale against Seattle will be his finale chance to log game reps before the regular season. Malik Willis appears in line to draw a final preseason start Saturday with Jordan Love (thumb) not yet ready for 11-on-11 reps. Elsewhere in Green Bay's receiving corps, Jayden Reed (foot) and Savion Williams (hamstring) are not practicing, while Romeo Doubs returned from his back injury Monday.
