Powell caught three passes for 58 yards Thursday against the Eagles.

Powell is likely being considered for a roster spot on the team as a returner, as he returned both a punt and kickoff in this contest. His performance as a receiver was a positive, and the team certainly could also use him to add depth at the position in the regular season. His fate with the team will be decided in the next few days.

Powell has been claimed on waivers by the Jets, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

Powell is thus cycled into the Jets' depth wideout mix, replacing Quincy Enunwa, who the team waived on Monday.

The Cardinals have cut Powell, the team's official site reports.

The moves leaves the Cards with five wide receivers for now, while Powell is now a candidate to be added to the team's practice squad.

Powell gathered in both of his targets for 18 yards during Saturday's preseason loss at Minnesota.

General manager Steve Keim intimated that the Cardinals will likely emerge from training camp with six wideouts, the team's official site reports, which bodes well for Powell's prospects of landing on the final 53-man roster. On the other hand, Brittan Golden is pushing Powell for the final WR spot, accumulating 11 catches for 79 yards through two exhibitions (versus Powell's five receptions for 92 yards). Two games remain until Keim and coach Bruce Arians must make the final call.

Cardinals signed sixth-round WR Walter Powell to a four-year contract.

Powell (5-foot-11 1/8, 189) set Murray State receiving records all across the board during his career. He isn't overly explosive, as evidenced by a 4.63 forty and 31.5-inch vertical. Powell will have to show well on special teams.
