Watson recorded one pass defended in Friday's 29-27 preseason loss to the Bears.

Watson suffered a concussion in Kansas City's first preseason game and had been sidelined since. He passed concussion protocol and logged 18 total snaps (17 on defense) and should be ready to roll for Kansas City's Week 1 matchup against the Chargers.

Green played 49 snaps in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.

Green had been sidelined by a shoulder injury since Aug. 9 but was able to get back on the field for the Eagles' preseason finale. He should serve as guard depth to begin the regular season.

The Eagles traded Kinnard to the Packers in return for a 2027 sixth-round pick Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kinnard will head to Green Bay after spending one season in Philadelphia as a depth option at offensive tackle and offensive guard. The 24-year-old has won three consecutive Super Bowls with the Chiefs and the Eagles, but he has appeared in just three regular-season games, including one start.

Johnson was traded from the Jaguars to the Eagles in exchange for a seventh-round pick Sunday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Johnson spent the last three seasons with the Eagles prior to signing with Jacksonville this offseason. He'll now head back to Philadelphia and is expected to serve as a swing tackle.

Cooks recorded two receptions on six targets for 14 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.

Cooks suffered a shoulder injury in early August and missed the Eagles' second preseason game as a result. He returned to the field Friday and finished second on the team in targets while playing 36 offensive snaps. Cooks is unlikely to make the roster, but he could land on a practice squad.

Wilson was waived by the Jets on Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Wilson hasn't made an NFL team out of camp since originally being signed out of college in 2023. However, he had significant success in the CFL in 2024 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, so he could latch onto a practice squad or head north once again.

Miller was waived by the Jets on Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Miller signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft. He made one reception for 24 yards across three games in the preseason.

Johnson was waived by the Jets on Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Johnson has bounced around several practice squads in his first year as a pro and that looks to be his fate once again in 2025. He'll be free to sign elsewhere, assuming he clears waivers.

Tipton hauled in one of two targets for four yards during Saturday's 28-19 preseason loss to the Broncos.

Tipton's preseason campaign went out on a quiet note after he stood out with 154 receiving yards, including two long touchdown catches, across the first two exhibitions. The 2024 undrafted rookie looked like he might push for the No. 4 wide-receiver spot behind starters Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks, but his odds took a big hit when the Saints traded for wideout Devaughn Vele from Denver on Wednesday. Tipton will now hope that his early preseason performances earned him a spot on the final 53-man roster, though Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis are candidates to finish above him.

Wilson caught two of three targets for eight yards during Sunday's 28-19 preseason loss to the Broncos.

Wilson appeared in all three preseason contests for the Saints, totaling six receptions (on eight targets) for 53 yards. The 29-year-old had been competing with Mason Tipton, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis for a spot as one of the top backup wide receivers behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks. But he was pushed even further down the depth chart after New Orleans traded a fourth-round and seventh-round pick to acquire Devaughn Vele from the Broncos on Wednesday. Wilson is entering the final season of a two-year contract with New Orleans, and he agreed to reduce his 2025 base salary from $3.4 million to $1.17 million back in March, which should make it fairly easy for the Saints to move on if they choose to keep Tipton and Austin on the final 53-man roster over Wilson.
