Carolina cut Wims on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wims inked with the Panthers in late July, but he couldn't earn a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster. The veteran wideout will look to latch on in a depth role elsewhere if he isn't brought back to Carolina's practice squad.

Wims signed with the Panthers on Wednesday, Steve Reed of The Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wims will fill the spot vacated by the release of Marquez Stevenson (undisclosed) with a failed physical. In 34 NFL appearances split between Chicago and Arizona, Wims has 28 catches for 266 yards and two touchdowns.

Wims was released by the Cardinals on Thursday, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wims signed a reserve/future contract with the Cardinals this past January after working with their 2022 practice squad for the majority of the season. Since entering the NFL, the 2018 seventh-rounder has totaled 266 yards on 28 catches with two touchdowns over the course of 34 games.

The Cardinals signed Wims to a reserve/future contract Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wims signed with the Cardinals' practice squad during Week 2 and was elevated for one game over the course of the season. However, he did not record a statistic during this Week 5 contest, and the 28-year-old now has not logged a target since the 2020 season. Wims will look to secure an active roster spot heading into the 2023 season.

Wims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Wims was promoted to the active roster for the first time this season during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks. However, 28-year-old was never targeted while playing five of Arizona's 71 offensive snaps. Wims will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Cardinals' practice squad this season.

Arizona elevated Wims from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Wims will likely make his 2022 debut in Week 6 with Antoine Wesley (quadriceps) now on the injured reserve list. The Georgia product is another big-bodied receiver who can mimic some of the same offensive functions as Wesley.

Wims signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wims will join Arizona's practice squad after the team also released fellow wideout JaVonta Payton on Thursday. The 28-year-old hauled in 28 of his 56 targets for 266 yards and two scores over 33 regular-season games with Chicago from 2018 to 2020, and he will likely serve as a potential gameday elevation for the Cardinals moving forward this season.

The Browns released Wims on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wims garnered team highs in targets (nine), receptions (four) and receiving yards (41) during Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears, but he finds himself among the first wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 2018 seventh-round pick hasn't appeared in an NFL regular-season game since 2020, when he caught six of 12 targets for 48 yards and a score across 13 games with the Bears.

Wims (undisclosed) was removed from the active/non-football illness list Saturday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though it's unclear what illness Wims was dealing with, it seems to have been of little concern, as he's expected to resume practicing again soon. The 6-foot-4 receiver spent all of last season on the Raiders' practice squad, but he will attempt to participate in more in-game action this year with Cleveland. Wims is now playing for his third NFL team since he was drafted in 2018, and he will battle with Ja'Marcus Bradley, Michael Woods (knee) and Mike Harley for a roster spot.

Cleveland placed Wims (undisclosed) on the active/non-football illness list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what Wims' illness is or when he might be expected to return. He hasn't seen game action since 2020, so if he makes it back before Week 1 he'll have to compete to make the roster, even in a seemingly thin Browns wide receiver room.
