The Cardinals waived Slovis on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Slovis was competing for a depth spot behind Jacoby Brissett but lost out to Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck (ribs). Slovis spent time on both Arizona's practice squad and active roster, completing one of his two pass attempts across two appearances.

Green has made the Browns' initial 53-man roster, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Green was selected in the sixth round of this year's draft after finishing his college career at Arkansas in 2025. The quarterback saw limited action during the preseason, completing five of seven passes for 27 yards while also adding an eight-yard rush. The Browns placed Dillon Gabriel (back) on injured reserve with a designation to return Sunday, and Green will get a chance to serve as the team's No. 3 QB behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in Gabriel's absence.

The Commanders waived Hartman on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Hartman has evidently lost the backup quarterback battle to Marcus Mariota and seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis. The 27-year-old will now be subject to waivers. If Hartman goes unclaimed, the Commanders would like to have the quarterback back with the team on the practice squad.

The Giants cut Allen on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The veteran quarterback signed with the Giants in early April looking for a chance to be the No. 3 quarterback behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. Allen lost the battle for the emergency slot to Jake Haener and is now free to look for another team.

The Browns placed Gabriel (back) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland reports.

Gabriel thus will be required to miss at least the first four games of the campaign due to a back issue. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday that Gabriel initially suffered the injury in preseason Week 3, discomfort followed, and he had an MRI before this transaction was made official. In the meantime, Deshaun Watson will lead the Browns offense, with Shedeur Sanders backing him up and rookie sixth-rounder Taylen Green acting as the third-stringer.

The Colts cut Stick on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Stick joined the team in June but didn't stand out enough to earn a roster spot. The 30-year-old spent the 2025 campaign with the Falcons but didn't appear in any games and will now look for a new opportunity with another team.

Levis was waived by the Titans on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of The Ringer reports.

Levis failed to win the backup quarterback spot over Mitchell Trubisky (biceps). Levis, a 2023 second-round pick of the Titans, started 21 regular-season games across his first two campaigns before missing all of 2025 due to a shoulder injury. Levis played throughout the recently concluded preseason, showing that he has regained health. He'll likely have to settle for a practice-squad spot somewhere, though it's possible a team that's unhappy with its current backup quarterback puts in a claim for Levis.

The Bills cut Buechele on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Buechele was unable to impress enough during the offseason to challenge Kyle Allen for the team's backup quarterback role. Buechele spent the majority of last season on Buffalo's practice squad, serving as the team's emergency third quarterback and could serve the same role during the upcoming campaign.

Johnson was released by the Bengals on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The veteran of 14 NFL teams signed with Cincinnati in March to compete for a backup role behind Joe Burrow, but he found himself the odd man out next to fellow veteran signing Joe Flacco and developmental prospect Sean Clifford. Johnson saw action in five regular-season games and on 137 offensive snaps for Washington last year, completing 63 percent of his passes for 372 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

The Panthers cut Trask on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Trask had just joined the team earlier this month to provide additional quarterback depth due to Haynes King being sidelined with a hamstring injury. If King is forced to miss time during the regular season, Carolina could bring Trask back to its practice squad to serve as the team's emergency third quarterback.
