It was subsequently announced that Jake Browning has been released. A UDFA out of Kansas, Daniels impressed during training camp and the preseason. He completed 27-of-44 passes for 239 yards, one score, and no interceptions. Daniels also ran for a touchdown. With Baker Mayfield set to hit free agency after this year, Daniels could be worth stashing in Superflex dynasty leagues.
Tampa Bay also waived/released WR Dean Patterson, WR Eric Rivers, DL Jayson Jones, S Rashad Wisdom, and DT Josiah Green. A 2024 seventh-round pick, Culp appeared in 13 games last year. He only caught one ball, but it was a six-yard touchdown. He is expected to sign with the Bucs’ practice squad if he makes it through waivers.
Terms of the trade haven’t yet been disclosed. The Jaguars drafted enough tight ends to push Long out of a job, but he’s generally been a pretty stellar blocking tight end over the course of his career. Long was once acquired in a deal involving Jalen Ramsey — this isn’t quite that, but he should stick on Arizona’s roster. He’s not particularly fantasy-relevant.
Abdullah appeared in 10 games for the Jags last year but only logged two defensive snaps. He was on the field for 176 special teams snaps. He should be able to find a home on a practice squad once rosters are settled.
The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Aguilar joined the Jaguars in April as a UDFA from Tennessee, where he played one season. Aguilar turned 25 in June and is unlikely to be claimed by another team. Fowler adds that the Jaguars hope Aguilar returns to the practice squad, which seems like the most likely scenario.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan caused some confusion earlier this week when he told reporters Kittle “took a step back.” Schefter cleared that up with his report Sunday morning that Kittle hasn’t had any setbacks in his recovery from a torn Achilles. According to Schefter, Kittle is expected to practice next week and still has a legitimate chance to play in Week 1’s game against the Rams in Australia. Fantasy managers could cover their bases by adding Jake Tonges in the event that Kittle isn’t active for the first game.
Lowry appeared in a dozen games for the Steelers in 2024. He was a backup on Pittsburgh’s stacked defensive line and only recorded one sack. Lowry suffered a torn ACL and missed the 2025 season but still re-signed with Pittsburgh this offseason. At 32 years old coming off a torn ACL, Lowry may struggle to find a spot on a 53-man roster before Week 1.
Pran-Granger has started two games for the Bills over the last two seasons after being picked in the fifth round in the 2024 NFL Draft.
This jives with what beat writers reported yesterday, but the coach saying it means we should probably expect Burden to be ready for Week 1. He’s a high-ceiling WR2/WR3 stab in drafts on an offense that Johnson has said wants to set the NFL scoring record.
With Miller cut and Quinn Ewers traded, the Dolphins currently have 2026 UDFA Mark Gronowski as their Malik Willis backup. It seems obvious they’ll add to the position in the next few days.
The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. A former starting linebacker with the Raiders, Roberts joined the Steelers earlier this month as linebacker depth. Without an injury, there ultimately wasn’t room for him on the 53-man roster. Roberts started 16 games for the Raiders last year and had 90 total tackles. He’ll hit the open market where he could get a call from a linebacker-needy team.
The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. A former second-round pick by the Panthers in the 2021 NFL Draft, Marshall has now been cut from the worst wide receiver room in the NFL. Marshall signed a reserve/future contract earlier this offseason, but fell short in his bid to make the roster. He last appeared in an NFL regular season game with the Raiders in 2024.
The Colts released a statement noting that they were aware of the charges and are in the information gathering process. Allen was arrested in downtown Indianapolis after the Colts’ first preseason game around 1 a.m. ET. More updates to come, we’re sure, but obviously this is not a great look for Allen.
This is probably forecasting that Pacheco will be doubtful at best for Week 1. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can speculatively pick up Saylors, who had 17 carries for 100 yards in Detroit’s win over the Colts on Saturday. Saylors led the UFL in rushing in 2024 and finished second in the league in 2025 before signing with the Lions that offseason.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler first reported the news. Dexter was finally traded after days of speculation that he could be on the move. Dexter had a career-high six sacks last year, but ultimately wasn’t a fit with the Bears defense. Falcons GM Ian Cunningham worked in the Bears front office when they made Dexter a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Dexter is eligible for an extension. With Da’Shawn Hand missing most of the preseason with a leg injury, Dexter could start right away for the Falcons.
The score and the bulk of the yardage came on one play, a 97-yard connection with Tyson Bagent. Thomas has some of the best speed of any rookie wideout — or any wideout regardless of age — and while he’s dealt with injuries in camp, the ability to grab and go is apparent. He’s not likely to be a significant contributor to begin the year, but he’s someone who has to be monitored in this Chicago passing attack.
Davis is a former first-round pick by the Commanders who will now be looking for his fourth organization in four years. The Steelers also released WR Levi Wentz.
Means was a fifth-round pick who showed some potential fantasy intrigue coming out of Pitt in 2024, but it hasn’t worked out. The same can be said for Bell. Both players and Dekkers are candidates for the practice squad. Everyone is a candidate for the practice squad, to be fair.
The team waived or released 10 players ahead of Sunday’s roster cut deadline, including WR Ronnie Bell, S Elliott Davison, EDGE Garrett Nelson, DL Brien Taylor, OT Xavier Truss, QB Hunter Dekkers, WR Bub Means, TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden, DE Khalil Saunders, and DE Malakai Williams. The team will need to trim further Sunday.
Rattler will remain the backup signal-caller behind Tyler Shough, it appears. The 25-year-old showed some flashes — short flashes, but flashes — when operating as the starter with New Orleans, but it’s hard to see him being more than a depth option going forward.
Rypien was signed shortly after Graham Mertz suffered a torn ACL in the middle of August. The 30-year-old seems likely to make the practice squad, unless Houston finds a signal-caller they like more for that spot.
27-year-old Hodgins has found himself on the periphery of the G-Men’s 53-man roster since 2022, making 35 appearances during that timespan. He provided some crucial snaps for an undermanned receiver corps but never did quite enough to crack the targets rotation. He could end up back on New York’s practice squad, though those odds are decreased by this being a new coaching staff.
A linchpin NFL special teamer since 2020, Chisena had been with the Panthers since 2024. He made only seven regular season appearances in Charlotte, suggesting he might ultimately be a poor bet to land back on the 53-man roster this year.
It’s an extremely low-wattage list as the Falcons work to get down to 53 players. 27-year-old Stueber has not appeared in a regular season game since 2024 in Cincinnati.
The former first-round pick has significantly underperformed his high draft capital during his four-year professional career but provides an upside-depth piece for a Cowboys team returning all five starters along the offensive line from a season ago. Jones now presumably settles in behind Terence Steele on the right side in Dallas. The remaining details of the deal were not immediately made available.
