Detroit placed Wilson (knee) on injured reserve Monday.

Wilson sustained a knee injury during Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the Commanders, and the injury is severe enough for him to go on injured reserve and miss the entire 2026 season. Wilson signed with the Lions in May after playing with the Dolphins in 2025, when he logged five catches (on nine targets) for 44 yards across 10 regular-season games.

The Lions placed Blackshear (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

The nature of Blackshear's injury is unclear, though he may have sustained it during the Lions' 17-13 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday. However, his placement on injured reserve means he'll be sidelined for the 2026 season, though an injury settlement would allow Blackshear to sign and play with a team once fully healthy.

Green was waived by the Cardinals on Monday.

Green returned to Arizona on a reserve/future contract with the team in January after spending a large portion of the 2025 campaign on the team's practice squad. The wide receiver has appeared in all three of the Cardinals' preseason games to this point, catching two of six targets for 19 yards and a touchdown. If Green clears waivers, he seems likely to remain with Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad.

Weaver (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Cardinals on Monday.

The wide receiver suffered a concussion earlier in camp but cleared the protocol in time for Arizona's preseason clash with Dallas on Saturday. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring in that game, prompting the move to IR. The severity of Weaver's injury remains unclear, but to play in 2026, he would have to reach an injury settlement with the Cardinals.

Moss (ribs) did not participate in Monday's training camp practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Moss injured his ribs during the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday. Head coach Sean Payton told reporters Monday that the injury isn't considered serious, so Moss can be considered day-to-day for now. It wouldn't be surprising to see Moss sidelined for Friday's preseason finale against the Vikings to give the 2023 third-rounder extra rest before the regular season kicks off Monday, Sept. 14 against the Chiefs.

Cupp was waived by the Cardinals on Monday.

Cupp signed with Arizona on Aug. 15, ultimately failing to record any stats in the team's 34-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday. The tight end will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there's a chance he sticks around as a member of the Cardinals' practice squad in 2026.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that he's yet to make a decision about whether Bennett or rookie Ty Simpson will open the regular season as the backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.

Bennett made a strong case for the role with his performance in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Saints, when he completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and logged two rushing touchdowns. Simpson saw less action and had a more modest performance, connecting on eight of 12 pass attempts for 73 yards while rushing three times for 10 yards, but it appears both QBs are still in contention to serve as the top regular-season backup behind Stafford. McVay noted Monday that he's "truly taking things a day at a time" and mentioned that Bennett book nine second-team reps during practice to Simpson's six. The head coach also said that Simpson will "definitely" play in the team's preseason finale Thursday versus the Chargers while indicating that it hasn't yet been decided if Bennett will suit up, which may suggest that the latter has the edge in the competition for the QB2 job despite the lack of a firm decision to this point.

Wright (hip) was put on injured reserve by the Saints on Monday.

The cornerback suffered a hip injury earlier in training camp that will now require season-ending surgery. White logged 35 special-teams snaps for New Orleans in 2025, but he did not record a tackle.

Delp is nursing a hamstring injury at training camp with the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Delp has caught three of six targets for 10 yards and a touchdown over the Saints' two preseason games this year, though all of that production came in the team's preseason opener. The 23-year-old was selected in the third round of this year's draft, and he's competing with veteran Noah Fant for the top reserve role at tight end behind Juwan Johnson this year. It's unclear what the severity of his injury is, but Delp will have a couple of chances to shake off the injury at practice before Friday's preseason finale versus Dallas.

Allen (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Monday's training camp practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Allen has been limited to side work in training camp while recovering from a quadriceps injury, but his ability to practice Monday, even in a limited capacity, is a positive sign for the 2023 fifth-rounder. He's unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers, but Allen is working his way toward being available for the Rams' regular-season opener against the 49ers on Thursday, Sept. 10.
