The Rams waived Stoops (suspension) on Tuesday.

Stoops logged an 8/74/1 preseason stat line on 12 targets across three games, but it wasn't enough for him to crack the Rams' 53-man roster. He'll look to catch on with a team in need of wide receiver depth, but if he does sign to a 53-man roster, Stoops will be forced to miss the first two regular-season games due to his suspension for violating the NFL's policy regarding performance-enhancing drugs.

Redman was waived by the Rams on Tuesday.

Redman, an undrafted rookie out of Louisville, overcame an undisclosed injury at the start of training camp to play in all three of the Rams' preseason games, finishing with five catches (on seven targets) for 41 yards. The Rams opted to go with Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen as the backup tight ends behind Tyler Higbee, so Redman will explore his next opportunities and try to catch on with a team in need of tight end depth, assuming he clears waivers.

The Ravens waived Banks on Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Banks signed with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in April and caught his only target for six yards during three preseason contests. He nearly reeled in a touchdown in the Ravens' second exhibition contest but was flagged for a questionable offensive pass interference penalty.

The Rams waived Covey on Tuesday.

Covey signed a one-year deal with the Rams in March after spending his first three NFL seasons with the Eagles. He finished the preseason with nine catches (on 14 targets) for 76 yards while adding 16 return yards on two punts, but it wasn't enough for the Utah product to crack the Rams' 53-man roster. Covey will have the opportunity to explore his options if he clears waivers, and that includes staying in Los Angeles as a member of the Rams' practice squad.

Baltimore waived Washington on Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Washington had been competing for a depth role among the Ravens' tight end corps, but he wasn't able to make the team's initial roster. He hasn't logged a regular-season NFL snap since 2022, when he played in one contest for New England without drawing any targets.

Schrader was waived by the Rams on Tuesday.

The second-year running back entered training camp competing for a depth spot in the Rams' backfield. He logged 140 total yards of offense through the first two preseason games but ended on a whimper in the Rams' final exhibition contest against the Rams on Saturday, when he turned nine carries into just 13 yards while failing to log a catch. The Rams have opted to go with three running backs on the main roster in Blake Corum, Jarquez Hunter and starter Kyren Williams, but Schrader could stay in Los Angeles as a member of the Rams' practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.

Mooney (shoulder) wasn't placed on injured reserve Tuesday, remaining on Atlanta's active roster, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

He still hasn't practiced since injuring his shoulder on the first day of training camp, but the Falcons seem confident Mooney will miss fewer than the minimum four games required by an IR stint. It's unclear if he has a realistic chance to play in Week 1 against Tampa Bay, however.

The Dolphins placed Sanders (hip) on injured reserve Tuesday, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the regular season.

Sanders will be eligible to return in Week 5 against Carolina, but it's not clear yet if he'll be fully recovered from a hip injury by then. The Dolphins will need to add another kicker to the active roster in advance of a Week 1 clash with the Colts.

The Rams waived Rivers (ribs) on Tuesday.

Rivers signed a one-year contract with the Rams in March and entered training camp competing against Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter for a depth spot in the backfield behind starter Kyren Williams. Rivers was limited to just one preseason game due to a rib injury, and that may have played a factor in him not making the Rams' 53-man roster. The Fresno State product will go on waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll have the opportunity to catch on with a team in need of depth out of the backfield.

The Rams waived Presley on Tuesday.

The undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma State entered training camp as a longshot to make the Rams' 53-man roster, but he played well enough in the preseason to make it a tough decision for the team's coaching staff. Presley had a standout performance in the Rams' second preseason game against the Chargers, when he caught six passes (on eight targets) for 102 yards, and he finished with an 11/164/1 statline across the Rams' three preseason games. He wasn't able to survive Tuesday's cut-down day, but he might opt to stay with the Rams as a member of the practice squad if he clears waivers.
