  • Jordan Waters RB | LAR

    Jordan Waters: Fails to make 53-man squad

    The Rams waived Waters on Tuesday.

    Waters played in all three of the Rams' preseason games, finishing with 10 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown while adding an assisted tackle. The undrafted rookie out of N.C. State won't make the team's 53-man roster to start the season, but assuming he clears waivers, Waters could remain with the Rams as a member of the team's practice squad.

  • Terrell Jennings: Doesn't make initial roster

    The Patriots waived Jennings on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

    Jennings played in three games with New England as an undrafted rookie last year, rushing 13 times for 33 yards while failing to catch his only passing target. He's a candidate to land on the Patriots' practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Cody Schrader RB | LAR

    Cody Schrader: Fails to make 53-man roster

    Schrader was waived by the Rams on Tuesday.

    The second-year running back entered training camp competing for a depth spot in the Rams' backfield. He logged 140 total yards of offense through the first two preseason games but ended on a whimper in the Rams' final exhibition contest against the Rams on Saturday, when he turned nine carries into just 13 yards while failing to log a catch. The Rams have opted to go with three running backs on the main roster in Blake Corum, Jarquez Hunter and starter Kyren Williams, but Schrader could stay in Los Angeles as a member of the Rams' practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Ronnie Rivers: Cut by LAR

    The Rams waived Rivers (ribs) on Tuesday.

    Rivers signed a one-year contract with the Rams in March and entered training camp competing against Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter for a depth spot in the backfield behind starter Kyren Williams. Rivers was limited to just one preseason game due to a rib injury, and that may have played a factor in him not making the Rams' 53-man roster. The Fresno State product will go on waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll have the opportunity to catch on with a team in need of depth out of the backfield.

  • Sincere McCormick: Unable to land roster spot

    Las Vegas waived McCormick on Tuesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    After injuries hit the Raiders' running-back room last season, McCormick got an opportunity to play significant snaps late in the campaign and tallied 142 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries across Weeks 13 and 14. However, he injured his ankle in Week 15 and ended the season on IR. McCormick was competing for a depth role behind Las Vegas newcomers Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert during the preseason, but the team is opting to fill out the RB room with Zamir White and Dylan Laube instead.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: On IR, designated to return

    The Packers placed Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

    Lloyd emerged from Green Bay's second preseason contest with hamstring tightness, marking yet another health concern for the 2024 third-round pick. In fact, he's made only one appearance in his career to date and won't be eligible to suit up until at least Week 5 versus the Bengals. The Packers will kick off the campaign with Josh Jacobs leading the backfield, and Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up.

  • Jordan Mims RB | TEN

    Jordan Mims: Casualty of cutdown day

    The Titans waived Mims on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Mims led Tennessee with 28 carries over three games during the preseason slate, but he gained a modest 98 yards and didn't score any touchdowns. The Fresno State product played with New Orleans last year, recording 70 yards on 20 rushes along with 71 yards on 12 receptions without scoring any touchdowns. Mims also worked on special teams, and his versatility could help him land work elsewhere.

  • Jermar Jefferson: Cut by Titans

    Tennessee waived Jefferson on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Jefferson looked pretty good in limited opportunities during the preseason, rushing nine times for 59 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for an 11-yard gain. However, Tennessee decided it doesn't have room for the 25-year-old on its initial 53-man roster. Jefferson is a candidate for the Titans' practice squad if he clear waivers.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Chargers' Najee Harris: On track for active roster

    The Chargers plan to move Harris (eye) to the active roster from the non-football injury list, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    As Kris Rhim of ESPN.com notes, the move suggests that the Chargers expect Harris to miss fewer than four games, the minimum required if he remained on the NFI list to begin the regular season. It's not a lock that he'll be available for Week 1, however. Harris sustained an eye injury during a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July, and once he's 100 percent he'll compete for snaps and touches alongside first-round rookie Omarion Hampton.

  • Pierre Strong: Waived with injury designation

    The Browns waived/injured Strong (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

    Strong departed the team's final preseason contest Saturday to be evaluated for a concussion, though it's not immediately clear if he was cleared or if that issue is what led to him being waived with an injury designation Tuesday. Whatever the case may be, the Browns are down to two healthy RBs currently on the roster -- Jerome Ford and rookie Dylan Sampson. It's still likely that rookie Quinshon Judkins will be part of the group as well, but he's yet to sign a contract and is still under investigation by the NFL for an off-the-field incident.
