Wilson is signing with Miami's practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Wilson is familiar with coach Mike McDaniel's rushing scheme and gives the Dolphins some depth at running back, with De'Von Achane (calf) injured but expected to be ready for Week 1 but Jaylen Wright (leg) a candidate to miss a bit of time early in the year. If Miami's backfield health doesn't improve in time to face off against the Colts in Week 1, it's possible Wilson gets elevated from the practice squad, though if Achane is healthy Wilson would figure to work, at best, in a reserve No. 3 capacity behind Ollie Gordon.

Buechele was released by the Bills on Tuesday.

Buffalo parted ways with quarterbacks Mike White and Buechele, as Mitchell Trubisky will retain the backup role behind Josh Allen. The 27-year-old Buechele has yet to throw a regular-season NFL pass.

Woods was claimed off waivers by the Jets on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Woods spent the past two seasons on injured reserve due to hamstring and toe injuries after posting 312 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a promising 2022 rookie season for the Colts. Indianapolis invested significant draft capital into the tight end position during Woods' absence, leading to him being waived Tuesday, but he lands on his feet Wednesday, joining an underwhelming Jets depth chart topped by rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor. If the 6-foot-7 Woods rediscovers his own rookie form, he could surpass backups Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt before long.

Valdes-Scantling is signing with the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Released by Seattle a day earlier, Valdes-Scantling will join one of the few teams that can offer him a chance at Week 1 snaps. San Francisco wideouts Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Demarcus Robinson (suspension) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) are already ruled out for Week 1, while Jauan Jennings (calf/contract) and Jordan Watkins (ankle) are uncertain. Ricky Pearsall is locked in as one starter, but everything else is up in the air, potentially allowing Valdes-Scantling to come in and contribute without much prep time the way the did in New Orleans after the Bills released him last year.

Campbell was claimed off waivers by the Panthers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Campbell was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday despite leading the team with 147 preseason receiving yards, but his efforts didn't go unnoticed, as the Panthers have swooped in to add Campbell to their 53-man roster after trading away veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen to the Vikings on Wednesday. Campbell, an undrafted rookie out of South Carolina, figures to begin the regular season in a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring), Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker and David Moore in Carolina's inexperienced wide receiver room.

The Saints won a waiver claim for Palmer on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Palmer jumps from one NFC South team to another after sliding down the depth chart in Tampa Bay the past couple years. The Saints don't have nearly as much talent at wide receiver, but they currently have fewer injuries at the position, which means Palmer is unlikely to have a significant Week 1 role. A 2023 sixth-round pick, Palmer got a lot of playing time as a rookie but produced just 385 yards on 68 targets (5.7 YPT) before dropping to 22 targets (and improving to 7.8 YPT) in a depth role last year. He's the second late addition at WR in New Orleans following a trade for Devaughn Vele last week. The depth chart now looks a bit better behind locked-in starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, but the Saints' QB situation remains among the worst in the league -- the team is starting Spencer Rattler in Week 1 against Arizona.

The Patriots were awarded a waiver claim for DeVito on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Giants' offseason moves dropped DeVito to fourth on the depth chart, ultimately leading the team to waive him, but he'll now be the No. 3 QB in New England behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. It isn't out of the question for DeVito to challenge Dobbs for the No. 2 spot as the year progresses.

Otton is dealing with a leg injury that could impact his Week 1 availability, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

It's reportedly separate from the hamstring injury that limited Otton's participation during the second and third weeks of training camp. He even ended up making a preseason appearance, but now he's missing practice again less than two weeks before the regular-season opener against Atlanta. The Bucs kept four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster, likely setting up a committee between Devin Culp, Payne Durham and/or Ko Kieft if Otton were to miss Week 1.

Huzzie (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.

Huzzie will miss the first four games of the regular season due to this move. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina was first reported as injured in July after signing with Houston in May.

The Browns claimed Sanders off waivers from the Chargers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina failed to make the cut with the Chargers, but he now gets a second NFL opportunity in short order. The Browns let go Pierre Strong on Tuesday, leaving the team with only Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson on the roster as backfield options. Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned and is uncertain to be available for Week 1, likely setting up a timeshare between Ford and Sampson. An injury could quickly thrust Sanders into playing time if he manages to stick around with Cleveland for at least a few weeks.
