Arnette was released by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The cornerback signed with Houston in June and picked off a pass in the preseason, but it wasn't enough to help him stick on the Texans' 53-man roster. Arnette was a first-round pick of the Raiders in 2020, but he has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game since 2021. He has 29 career tackles (23 solo) and three pass breakups.

The Falcons signed Krieg to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Krieg will stick around in Atlanta on the practice squad after failing to overtake Younghoe Koo for the starting kicking job. Krieg went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point attempt across three preseason games.

Washington signed Edwards to the practice squad Wednesday, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Edwards spent the preseason with the Jets and flashed potential. He fell short of a roster spot in a crowded backfield, but he'll have a new opportunity with the Commanders, who have a less settled running back depth chart.

The Falcons signed Washington to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Washington was unable to play in any of the Falcons' three preseason games due to a hamstring injury, but he'll stick around in Atlanta on the team's practice squad. He spent most of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad but did play 11 snaps on special teams in Week 18 against the Panthers.

The Falcons signed Stick to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

The Falcons opted to go with two quarterbacks on the main roster with Michael Penix and Kirk Cousins, so Stick will start the season on the team's practice squad. Stick finished the preseason completing 69.2 percent of his passes for 520 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions while adding five carries for 32 yards across three games.

Smith signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

Smith has played just one game since entering the league in 2021. The 26-year-old receiver had a solid preseason with a team-high 10 receptions (13 targets) for 113 yards through three games. This will be his second straight year on the Jets' practice squad.

The Falcons signed Simon to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Simon entered training camp as a longshot to make the 53-man roster, but he impressed the coaching staff enough to stick around on the practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina will provide the Falcons depth at tight end and could be elevated to the active roster if Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner, Teagan Quitoriano or Feleipe Franks were to miss time.

Skinner signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

The 6-foot-5, 195-pound wide receiver was productive at Kansas but went undrafted. Skinner registered eight receptions for a team-high 114 yards and a touchdown during the preseason, but it wasn't enough to secure one of the Jets' five receiver spots.

The Falcons signed Nash to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Nash put together a 12/136/0 stat line across three preseason games. He wasn't able to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster, but the undrafted rookie out of San Jose State will remain in the organization as part of the team's practice squad. Nash is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Falcons require depth at wide receiver.

Stout (calf) returned to practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Stout was a standout player during offseason practice and training camp before being sidelined by a calf issue. He's expected back for Week 1, and his participation in practice supports that report.
