Egbuka (toe) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka has been managing a sprained toe since Aug. 12, when the injury forced him out of practice. Almost two weeks later, the wideout has yet to return to team drills, with head coach Todd Bowles having previously described him as both "day-to-day" and "week-to-week." Egbuka looks safe to rule out for Friday's preseason finale versus the Jaguars, and his availability for the Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup with the Bengals will be murky until he's able to return to full practice.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that he's tentatively planning on having Bell (knee) play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Falcons, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

After completing his recovery from December surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, Bell was reinstated from the NFI list Aug. 17 and returned to practice as a limited participant. The Dolphins were comfortable clearing him for full participation Monday, and Bell seems to have bounced back well from that practice session. Even if the rookie wideout ends up not getting cleared for the Falcons game, he looks like he'll be on track to have a role in Week 1 versus the Raiders.

Lacy (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Lacy was not claimed by another team after being waived/injured by the Jets on Sunday. The move to IR means he'll be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

The Texans waived Jackson on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jackson signed with the Texans in May and caught two passes on as many targets for nine yards across his two preseason outings. Assuming he clears waivers, Jackson will look to catch on with a team in need of a wide receiver who can also contribute on special teams.

Sturdivant (concussion) has yet to return to practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Sturdivant is competing for a spot on the Packers' initial 53-man roster, but he has been sidelined at practice after suffering a concussion. The undrafted wide receiver has appeared in both of the Packers' preseason contests so far, reeling in three of four targets for 30 yards. Sturdivant will have a couple more chances to clear protocol and return to practice before Friday's preseason finale against Arizona.

Detroit placed Wilson (knee) on injured reserve Monday.

Wilson sustained a knee injury during Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the Commanders, and the injury is severe enough for him to go on injured reserve and miss the entire 2026 season. Wilson signed with the Lions in May after playing with the Dolphins in 2025, when he logged five catches (on nine targets) for 44 yards across 10 regular-season games.

Green was waived by the Cardinals on Monday.

Green returned to Arizona on a reserve/future contract with the team in January after spending a large portion of the 2025 campaign on the team's practice squad. The wide receiver has appeared in all three of the Cardinals' preseason games to this point, catching two of six targets for 19 yards and a touchdown. If Green clears waivers, he seems likely to remain with Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad.

Weaver (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Cardinals on Monday.

The wide receiver suffered a concussion earlier in camp but cleared the protocol in time for Arizona's preseason clash with Dallas on Saturday. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring in that game, prompting the move to IR. The severity of Weaver's injury remains unclear, but to play in 2026, he would have to reach an injury settlement with the Cardinals.

Caldwell (knee) was waived with an injury designation by the Chiefs on Monday.

Caldwell suffered a hyperextended left knee at Wednesday's practice, and as a result, he was let go by the team Monday. If the wide receiver goes unclaimed on waivers, he will revert to injured reserve with Kansas City.

Prentice was waived by the Patriots on Monday.

Prentice was claimed off waivers by the Patriots in late July after being let go by the Panthers, and he was able to catch four of seven targets for 47 yards over two preseason games with New England before being let go Monday. If the wide receiver clears waivers this time around, he may end up sticking around as a member of the Patriots' practice squad.
