Trigg (toe) failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Cowboys' preseason loss to the Saints on Friday.

Trigg had been dealing with a toe injury but managed to suit up for the team's preseason finale and ended up getting the start. The 24-year-old could be a candidate to land on Dallas' practice squad should he fail to earn a spot on the team's active roster.

Brown caught one of his two targets for 27 yards during Dallas' preseason loss to the Saints on Saturday.

Brown served as one of the Cowboys' starting receivers and ended up playing 17 snaps on offense. The rookie undrafted free agent is facing an uphill battle to earn a roster spot and could be more likely to wind up on the practice squad.

Smith caught three of his four targets for 19 yards during the Cowboys' preseason game Friday versus the Saints.

Smith was part of Dallas' starting lineup and ended up playing 52 offensive snaps. The rookie seventh-round pick has had a quiet showing during the preseason, catching five of his eight targets for just 37 yards, and could face an uphill battle to make the roster, as the Cowboys have ample receiver depth.

Wright was waived by the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wright's time in Houston has seemingly come to an end less than a month after he first signed with the team. The 27-year-old will now look to find a new opportunity with another team.

Allen caught his only target for 24 yards in Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions.

Having just signed with Indianapolis less than two weeks ago, Allen saw his first game action for his new club and quickly produced a big gain on Anthony Richardson's first pass attempt of the afternoon, helping to set up a field goal. Top wideouts Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (calf), as well as top tight end Tyler Warren (groin), are all carrying injury designations to close out the preseason, so Allen could end up having a bigger role in the passing attack than expected once Week 1 rolls around. The 34-year-old showed he can still be an effective possession option in 2025 with the Chargers, delivering an 81-777-4 line on 122 targets while playing all 17 regular-season contests.

The Rams placed Caldwell (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Caldwell joined the team as an undrafted free agent in April but is now dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

McGowan carried the ball four times for 20 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions.

The seventh-round rookie got the start once again, even with DJ Giddens back in the lineup after recovering from a hamstring injury, and McGowan put together the Colts' longest run of the afternoon on a 10-yard scamper in the first quarter to help set up a field goal. Giddens scored the team's only TD of the game in the second quarter, however, as they both make their final cases to be the No. 2 backfield option behind Jonathan Taylor. The two younger backs had similar athleticism-over-production profiles in college, so they could end up trading the job back and forth during the season based on health and performance.

The Eagles removed Castro-Fields (heel) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Castro-Fields' tenure with the Eagles has come to an end after he first signed with the team's practice squad last October. He will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.

Giddens carried the ball twice for eight yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions.

The second-year back scored the Colts' only TD of the afternoon on a six-yard run in the second quarter, bouncing the ball outside the tackle and plowing through a couple defenders to hit paydirt. Giddens didn't make much of an impact as a rookie after being selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Kansas State, but Indy seems content to let him continue his development behind Jonathan Taylor. Seth McGowan got the start in Saturday's preseason finale, however, and may have claimed the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.

The Falcons waived Simon on Saturday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Simon signed a reserve/future deal with the team in January but didn't impress enough to earn a roster spot. The 25-year-old spent last season on Atlanta's practice squad, where he could return should he go unclaimed on waivers.
