Cannella signed with Cleveland's practice squad Wednesday.

Cannella remains with the Browns organization despite failing to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster. With the status of third-string tight end Blake Whiteheart (knee) in doubt for Week 1, Cannella may not have to wait long for a chance to join the active roster.

Buffalo signed Gore to its practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Gore was waived by the Bills on cutdown day Tuesday, but he's remaining with the organization on the practice squad. The 23-year-old will look to earn a chance on the active roster at some point during the season for what would be his NFL regular-season debut.

Buffalo signed Buechele to its practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Buechele wasn't able to make the Bills' initial 53-man roster, but he'll remain with the club as organizational QB depth. If Josh Allen or Mitchell Trubisky were to miss time at any point, Buechele could be elevated to the active roster.

Bates was waived by the Browns on Wednesday.

Bates made it through cutdown day Tuesday but was then one of two players let go to make room for a pair of waiver claims Wednesday. If Bates isn't claimed himself, he could potentially rejoin the organization on the practice squad.

The Browns are signing Corley to the practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Corley was waived by the Jets on Tuesday after playing just 83 snaps on offense across nine regular-season appearances last year as a rookie. The 2024 third-round pick will now work to maneuver toward a similar trajectory as Elijah Moore once did, being a player who was also let go by the Jets early in his career before turning things around with the Browns -- though he was traded to Cleveland, not claimed off waivers. Corley's skill set could make him a fine complement to top Cleveland wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman as long as he can continue to progress in his development.

Rypien signed with Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday.

Rypien spent training camp with the Vikings, but he'll head to greener pastures in an organization with a less crowded quarterback depth chart. He'll be the next man up should anything happen to Joe Burrow or backup Jake Browning.

Hill (oblique) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Hill remains sidelined due to the lingering oblique injury that's limited him to only a handful of appearances at practice since early August. The Dolphins haven't yet expressed any signs of concern about Hill's availability for Week 1, so the team could simply be taking a cautious approach to his health in order to avoid any setbacks. It will be significant, however, for Hill to get back on the field over the next week and begin ramping up for the regular-season opener against Indianapolis on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Williams signed with Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday.

Williams failed to win a roster spot with the Bengals in 2025 after suiting up for six regular-season games with them in 2024, as well as two with Detroit. He'll likely remain on the practice squad barring an injury to return man Charlie Jones.

Moore signed with Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday.

Moore went unclaimed after being waived as part of final cuts Tuesday, so he'll stick around in the Bengals organization, which he joined in April as an undrafted free agent out of Duke. The former college quarterback may still be learning the nuances of the wide receiver position.

The Steelers signed Woods to the practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Woods couldn't make Pittsburgh's initial 53-man roster after spending the offseason with the team, but he'll remain present as an emergency depth option at wide receiver on the practice squad. The Steelers are thin at wideout behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin (abdomen), so Woods' path to suiting up for regular-season action is clearer than the average practice-squad player,
