Jacksonville waived Henigan on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

After four collegiate seasons with Memphis, Henigan signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in April. He got a good look during the preseason slate, completing 27 of 38 passes (71.1 percent) for 178 yards, though he threw two interceptions and zero touchdowns. Pelissero states that Henigan will likely join the Jaguars' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Dillon Gabriel will work as the top backup to Joe Flacco to begin the regular season, leaving Sanders in the No. 3 role, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

It's still conceivable that both rookie signal-callers get chances under center at some point during what could be a rebuilding campaign for Cleveland. The team traded Kenny Pickett (hamstring) to the Raiders on Monday and cut Tyler Huntley on Sunday, leaving Sanders and Gabriel without further competition as depth options.

Gabriel will begin the regular season as the No. 2 quarterback behind Joe Flacco, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders will operate as the emergency No. 3 option. A hamstring injury forced Gabriel to sit out the Browns' preseason opener, but he returned for the team's final two exhibition matchups and looked solid, completing a combined 25 of 37 passes for 272 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

The Browns placed Watson (Achilles) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

Watson will have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season as a result of the transaction, although it wouldn't be a surprise if he stayed on the PUP list as long as possible so the team can avoid further crowding its QB room. He spent all of training camp and the preseason sidelined after undergoing a second Achilles surgery in January. The Browns will open the 2025 campaign with Joe Flacco starting under center and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders behind him on the depth chart.

Baltimore cut Leary on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Leary spent all of last season on the Ravens' practice squad, so he could resurface in a similar role for the 2025 campaign. The 2024 sixth-round pick is still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

Shough will begin the regular season as the backup to Spencer Rattler, who coach Kellen Moore named the Week 1 starter Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Shough spent the preseason in a prolonged competition with Rattler for the Week 1 starting gig, but at least to begin the regular season, he'll kick off his NFL career in a backup capacity. It may not be long before the rookie second-round pick gets a chance to take the field, though, if Rattler ends up struggling to move the offense consistently. The Saints have a posted win total of 5.5 at several sports betting sites.

Coach Kellen Moore named Rattler the Saints' Week 1 starting quarterback Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The NFL's final QB competition finally has reached its conclusion, at least to begin the 2025 campaign, as Rattler has beat out rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough. In seven games (six starts) as a 2024 fifth-rounder last season, Rattler completed 130 of 228 passes (57 percent) for 1,317 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions, had 18 carries for 146 yards and fumbled five times (three lost). He'll be under center for the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 7 against the Cardinals. You can wager on the Saints' 5.5-win total at many betting sites.

The Chargers are waiving Uiagalelei on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Uiagalelei signed with the team in April shortly after going undrafted out of Florida State. With all of Justin Herbert, Taylor Heinicke and Trey Lance entrenched above him on the depth chart, he seems a candidate to resurface on the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Keenum (leg) will be one of three quarterbacks on Chicago's initial 53-man roster, behind starter Caleb Williams and newly extended backup Tyson Bagent, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Keenum, who picked up a leg injury mid-August and is reportedly considered day-to-day, appears in line to contribute as the Bears' emergency No. 3 quarterback this season. What the 37-year-old veteran brings to the table as a mentor for Williams and Bagent may, ultimately, be as valuable to Chicago as his ability to capably pilot the offense under center if needed.

The Packers waived Clifford on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Both Clifford and Taylor Elgersma were cut by the Packers on Tuesday, leaving Malik Willis behind Jordan Love (thumb) at quarterback for the Packers. Clifford was a fifth-round pick out of Penn State in 2023 and performed three kneel-downs in two appearances with the Packers as a rookie. He hasn't played in a regular-season NFL game since and completed nine of 17 passes for a minuscule 44 yards this preseason, averaging a microscopic 2.6 yards per attempt.
