The Titans waived Jackson on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Jackson failed to record a catch across three preseason games, and while his clearest path to the Titans' 53-man roster was as a returner, he was outperformed by James Proche and fourth-round rookie Chimere Dike. Jackson won't be on Tennessee's main roster for the start of the regular season, but he could return to the team as a member of the practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Washington released Gallup on Monday.

Gallup came out of retirement back in March and spent the entire offseason with the Commanders, but while he could be a candidate to resurface on the practice squad, he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old wideout last suited up for regular-season action in 2023 with the Cowboys, when he played all 17 games and posted a 34-418-2 line on 57 targets.

The Titans waived Landers (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday.

Landers didn't play in either of the Titans' final two preseason contests after logging nine offensive snaps in the exhibition opener. He'll revert to injured reserve in Tennessee if he clears waivers.

Coach Shane Steichen expects Downs (hamstring) to return to practice by next week, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Downs has been dealing with a hamstring issue since Aug. 14, but it appears as though he's not too far away from returning to practice. With that in mind, the wideout is trending toward being ready for Week 1 action, in the absence of any setbacks.

Meyers has requested a trade from the Raiders, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

Per Pelissero, after Meyers -- who is due $10.76 million in the last year of his contract -- couldn't agree on an extension with the Raiders, the wideout requested a trade. That said, Rapoport notes that at this stage the team has no plans to deal the 28-year-old, who caught 87 passes in 15 regular-season games in 2024.

The Cowboys waived Kelly on Monday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech earlier in the offseason, Kelly played 68 offensive snaps this preseason and caught two passes for 25 yards on six targets.

The Saints waived Daniels on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Undrafted out of SMU earlier this year, Daniels signed with the Saints and played six offensive snaps this preseason. He failed to catch his lone target.

The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Baccellia has been in Arizona's organization since 2021, and the plan is to bring him back on the practice squad if he clears waivers, according to Wilson. Baccellia has seven career catches for 45 yards across 13 regular-season appearances.

The Saints waived Dixon on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Dixon signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of SMU back in April. He played just seven offensive snaps during the preseason and wasn't targeted in the passing game.

Coach Aaron Glenn noted Monday that Lazard (shoulder) is on track to be available for Week 1 action, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Lazard, who sustained a shoulder injury in the Jets' Aug. 9 preseason opener, still could appear on the team's first official injury report ahead of Week 1, but barring any setbacks the veteran pass catcher appears to be in line to be available versus the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 7. Beyond the fact that Garrett Wilson is New York's clear-cut top wideout, slotting behind him is up for grabs, with Lazard, Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson and Arian Smith currently in the mix for WR targets that don't go Wilson's way.
