The Cardinals signed Akharaiyi on Tuesday.

Akharaiyi was cut by Buffalo last Friday but quickly has found a new opportunity. He'll try to put something good on film in Saturday's preseason contest against Denver.

Tennessee waived Orji (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

It's not clear what kind of injury Orji is dealing with or when he picked it up. Either way, Orji is now headed for waivers, and if he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, he'll be bound for the Titans' injured reserve list.

The Packers claimed Baker off waivers from the Raiders on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Baker played five offensive snaps in the Raiders' preseason opener against the Seahawks last Thursday but didn't draw a target. The Packers are dealing with all sorts of injuries in their wide receiver room, so Baker gives them a healthy body to get through camp and the preseason. He's never caught a regular-season pass in the NFL.

New Orleans waived Tyree (undisclosed) from its injured reserve list Tuesday with an injury settlement, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

It looked as though Tyree was going to have to spend the entire 2025 campaign on the Saints' injured reserve list, but he'll now get to test the waters of free agency instead. It might be on another team to give him another opportunity once he's fully healthy again.

New Orleans waived Pline (upper body) with an injury designation on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Pline suffered an undisclosed upper body injury during the Saints' preseason opener against the Chargers on Sunday, and now he's going to waivers. Unless he gets picked up by another team, he will eventually end up on New Orleans' injured reserve list.

The Bears waived Kim on Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Undrafted out of Michigan State earlier this year, Kim signed with the Bears in April. He made both of his extra-point attempts in this past Sunday's preseason opener against the Dolphins, but Cairo Santos appears to have kept his job as the team's kicker.

The Bears waived Jackson on Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson spent most of last season on Chicago's practice squad, and he's yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game. He played 12 offensive snaps in the Bears' preseason opener against Miami on Sunday, catching one of his four targets for seven yards. Jackson was also credited with a dropped pass.

The Patriots waived Prince (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Prince didn't play in the Patriots' preseason opener against the Commanders last Friday and will now head to injured reserve once he clears waivers. There was buzz about Prince in the Chiefs camp two summers ago, but he failed to make the team and spent two seasons on their practice squad.

Smith (hand) did not practice Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Smith didn't play in the Texans' preseason opener against the Vikings this past Saturday. With Brevin Jordan (knee) suddenly done for the year, there's a spot open in Houston's tight end room behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover. Smith is competing with Luke Lachey and Dalton Keene.

The Broncos activated Perry (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Perry missed the first three-plus weeks of camp with an undisclosed injury, but he passed his physical Tuesday and can practice. With Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant entrenched on the depth chart, Perry is behind the eight ball in the competition for a roster spot.
