Meyers has requested a trade from the Raiders, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

Per Pelissero, after Meyers -- who is due $10.76 million in the last year of his contract -- couldn't agree on an extension with the Raiders, the wideout requested a trade. That said, Rapoport notes that at this stage the team has no plans to deal the 28-year-old, who caught 87 passes in 15 regular-season games in 2024.

The 49ers waived Mordecai (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday.

Mordecai took 46 offensive snaps under center for the Niners this preseason and completed 13 of 19 pass attempts for 124 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed four times for 27 yards. Mordecai will revert to injured reserve in San Francisco if he clears waivers.

The 49ers waived Bradley (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday.

Bradley played 82 offensive snaps under center this preseason, appearing in all three exhibitions and completing just 22 of 41 pass attempts for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception. If he clears waivers, Bradley will revert to the 49ers' injured-reserve list.

The 49ers released Vaughn on Monday.

Vaughn served as camp and preseason depth while the Niners dealt with injuries in their backfield. Vaughn played 46 offensive snaps during the preseason and rushed 19 times for 46 yards, averaging a substandard 2.4 yards per carry. He also caught two passes for just four yards. The 28-year-old veteran doesn't have much left in the tank.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that Howard (hand) is expected to be a full participant in practice "soon," Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Howard broke a bone in his hand during practice Aug. 5 and was unable to play in the preseason. He's expected to open the season behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph on the Steelers' QB depth chart.

Blue (ankle) is participating in practice Monday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Cowboys are only going through light practice reps Monday, according to Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see Blue already back on the practice field after he suffered a low-ankle sprain during Friday's preseason win over the Falcons. The rookie fifth-round pick has roughly two weeks remaining to get cleared for Week 1. A heel injury forced Blue to miss Dallas' first two preseason games, and when he's fully healthy he's expected to begin his career alongside veteran Miles Sanders in a depth role behind Javonte Williams.

Stafford (back) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Stafford continues to stack 'full' practice sessions, and he again took part in 11-on-11 drills again Monday, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. At this stage, the 37-year-old looks fully on track for Week 1 as long as no setbacks in his recovery from the disc injury in his back surface. That Stafford has been practicing without restrictions for one week is highly encouraging, and coach Sean McVay said Monday that the Rams "feel really good" about the quarterback's return to on-field activities, and that "there's nothing that would leave me to believe, unless we have an unforeseen setback, that he's not going to be ready to roll against the Texans" on Sunday, Sept. 7, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.

The Cowboys waived Neville on Monday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Neville appeared in all three preseason contests this summer and caught three passes for 11 yards across 48 offensive snaps. The undrafted rookie out of Virginia will try to latch on with a practice squad.

The Cowboys waived Stephens on Monday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Stephens appeared in just one preseason game this summer, catching three passes for 26 yards on 14 offensive snaps. Undrafted out of Louisiana last year, Stephens ended up tearing his ACL in practice last October. He'll look for an opportunity elsewhere.

The Cowboys waived Kelly on Monday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech earlier in the offseason, Kelly played 68 offensive snaps this preseason and caught two passes for 25 yards on six targets.
