Pline (upper body) signed with the Chiefs on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pline was sidelined for all of the 2025 season due to an upper body injury, but his signing with the Chiefs on Wednesday suggests he's moved past the issue. The Furman product has yet to appear in an NFL game after catching 32 passes for 287 yards and four touchdowns across 11 games during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Washington was waived by the Falcons on Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of Bowtie Sports reports.

Washington spent each of the last two years with the Falcons, but it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. Across 15 career regular-season NFL contests, the Illinois product has caught seven of 16 targets for 108 yards.

Alford (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Saints on Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

The 25-year-old wideout signed with the Saints in early January after recording 407 yards and five touchdowns with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL in 2025. However, he's now dealing with an injury, and the New Orleans has decided to move in another direction. If Alford clears waivers, he'll revert to the Saints' injured reserve list.

Siemian (undisclosed) won't practice Wednesday but will return for training camp, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

It appears as if Siemian avoided a serios injury, as the Northwestern product is now expected to return for training camp. The 34-year-old's last in-game action came with the Jets in 2023, when he appeared in five contests and threw for 724 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. Once fully healthy, he's expected to compete for Atlanta's emergency third quarterback position.

The Lions placed Law (knee) on the reserve/injured list Wednesday.

Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters in early June that Law tore his ACL during practice, so his move to IR comes as no surprise. Law, a 2026 fifth-round pick from Kentucky, appeared in 12 games during his final collegiate season, catching 53 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns. In a corresponding move, Detroit signed wideouts Tay Martin, Tarik Black and Lucky Jackson.

The Lions signed Jackson on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old was one of three receivers brought in by the Lions on Wednesday, joining Tay Martin and Tarik Black. Jackson last appeared in three regular-season games for the Vikings in 2023, failing to record an offensive stat across 35 total snaps (32 on special teams, three on offense).

The Lions signed Black on Wednesday.

Black spent time with the Dolphins' during the 2025 offseason but ultimately failed to make the 53-man roster. His last in-game NFL action came with the Jets in 2021, when he caught one of two targets for 10 yards during one contest. Now with the Lions, expect the Texas product to compete for a reserve role as the offseason progresses.

Martin signed with the Lions on Wednesday.

Martin made three appearances for the Commanders last season, catching both of his targets for 23 yards while playing 72 total snaps (42 on special teams, 30 on offense). Now in Detroit, he's expected to compete for a reserve role in the receiving corps ahead of the 2026 season.

Shipley was waived by the Saints on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Shipley, who signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in late April, has now been dropped in favor of Tanner Brown. Across 13 games during his final collegiate season at Texas, Shipley made all 48 of his point-after tries and 20 of 24 field-goal attempts.

The Saints signed Brown on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Brown most recently spent time with the Falcons' practice squad in 2024, but he's now agreed to terms with the Saints. The Oklahoma State product has yet to make an NFL appearance after converting 22 of 23 field-goal attempts and all 42 of his point-after tries across 12 games during his final collegiate season in 2022. He's expected to compete with Charlie Smyth for New Orleans' top kicker spot ahead of the 2026 season.
