The Cowboys waived wide receiver Jalen Cropper on Tuesday, according to the NFL's personnel notice.

Cropper could re-sign with the team's practice squad.

The Cowboys have wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and cornerback Caelen Carson ready to be activated back to the active roster from injured reserve. They also expect to see the return of wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin this week after Lamb missed three games and Turpin two with injuries.

Cropper, 24, has played three games this season, seeing action on eight offensive snaps and 22 on special teams. He returned three punts and two kickoffs in place of Turpin.

Cropper was on the Cowboys' practice squad in 2023 and 2024 but did not appear in a regular-season game.

Free agent wide receiver Treylon Burks worked out for the Broncos on Tuesday, according to the NFL's personnel notice. He will visit the Commanders on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.

The Titans waived Burks from injured reserve last week, making him a free agent.

He was recently cleared for all football activities after recovering from a fractured collarbone in training camp.

Burks joined the Titans with the 18th overall pick in the 2022 draft. The Titans acquired that selection by trading wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles, and the decision to trade Brown rather than sign him to a long-term deal did not work out for Tennessee.

Burks was limited to 22 games in his first two seasons, and he tore his ACL in the fifth game of the 2024 campaign. He had 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown.

The Bills will be getting some defensive line help when they return from their Week 7 bye.

Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht are both eligible to return from serving six-game suspensions. Both players were suspended for performance-enhancing drug violations after signing with the team as free agents this offseason.

The Bills have roster exemptions for Ogunjobi and Hoecht, but there is space for them on the active roster. They placed safety Damar Hamlin and defensive tackle T.J. Sanders over the weekend, and they announced the release of linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo on Tuesday.

Ciarlo appeared in one game after being signed off the practice squad this month. He was inactive in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.
