Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Alexander (knee) is "pushing" towards returning to practice ahead of the Ravens' Week 1 game against the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 7, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Alexander's practice participation during training camp has been limited due to a knee issue from the 2024 regular season, when he played with the Packers. It wouldn't be surprising to see Alexander continue to sit out of practices throughout the regular season given his injury history over the past two years, but participating in a limited capacity should be enough for him to play on a week-to-week basis. If Alexander's defensive snap count is also limited, that would open the door for T.J. Tampa, Chidobe Awuzie and Marlon Humphrey to get more looks at outside corner opposite Nate Wiggins.

The Jaguars released Wolford on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Wolford didn't get much run during the preseason, completing nine of 17 passes for 118 yards while adding four carries for 25 yards across three games. He ended the 2024 regular season as the Jaguars' practice-squad quarterback and could remain in Jacksonville in the same role.

The Broncos plan to waive Estime, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Per Tomasson, Estime, who Denver took in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is a candidate to join the team's practice squad, if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Now that Estime is no longer slated to be in the mix, J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Jaleel McLaughlin profile as the Broncos' top backfield options.

Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Monday that Dulin has been "progressing well" in his recovery from a concussion that he sustained during practice last week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

The injury forced Dulin to miss the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Saturday. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available for the Colts' Week 1 contest against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 7. Dulin finished the 2024 regular season with two catches (on eight targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown while adding five carries for 45 yards and 148 kick-return yards across 15 regular-season games.

The Buccaneers plan to move on from Trask, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Fowler, Trask, who is dealing with a minor shoulder issue, is in line to be cut with an injury designation and then revert to IR. Once that happens, the QB will look to reach an injury settlement with the Buccaneers, which would allow him to sign elsewhere once he's healthy. As a result of the looming move, Teddy Bridgewater is set to serve as Baker Mayfield's top backup ahead of Week 1.

The Titans waived Sheffield on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Sheffield signed with the Titans in May as an undrafted free agent. He was a long shot to make the 53-man roster, but he had his opportunities during the preseason, finishing with a 12-yard catch and 74 return yards on three kickoffs. Assuming he clears waivers, Sheffield will look to catch on with a team in need of a receiver on the practice squad.

The Cardinals waived Tune on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Tune got plenty of run in Arizona's three preseason games, including playing all 56 offensive snaps this past Saturday against the Raiders. Overall, he completed 30 of 49 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and one interception and rushed nine times for 53 yards. With Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett locked in to the top two spots on the QB depth chart, Tune lost out in the number games but is a candidate to be brought back on the team's practice squad.

Bridgewater is line to serve as Baker Mayfield's top backup ahead of Week 1, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Fowler, the Buccaneers plan to move on from Kyle Trask, who is dealing with a shoulder issue and is slated to be let go with an injury designation. Fowler notes that in such a scenario, Trask would then revert to IR and subsequently look to reach an injury settlement with the team, which would allow him to sign elsewhere once healthy. Bridgewater last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Lions.

The Titans waived Jackson on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Jackson failed to record a catch across three preseason games, and while his clearest path to the Titans' 53-man roster was as a returner, he was outperformed by James Proche and fourth-round rookie Chimere Dike. Jackson won't be on Tennessee's main roster for the start of the regular season, but he could return to the team as a member of the practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Hendrickson and the Bengals have reached an agreement that will land him a $14 million raise this year, which boosts his 2025 salary to $30 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hendrickson still is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season. The 30-year-old defensive end is coming off back-to-back 17.5-sack campaigns, so having the talented 2017 third-rounder on board out of the gate this year provides the Bengals' pass rush with a major boost.
