  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Trey Sermon: Let go by Pittsburgh

    Sermon was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

    Sermon signed with the Steelers on May 11, and despite a relatively active preseason, the 26-year-old running back was unable to secure a spot on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster behind Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson. The Ohio State product will now look to latch on with another team for the 2025 season.

  • Tyrion Davis-Price: Let go by Green Bay

    Davis-Price was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

    Davis-Price signed with Green Bay on Aug. 12, recording 32 rushing yards on nine carries and one catch for seven yards over two preseason contests with the team. The running back will now look for his next opportunity, which will likely have to come with a team's practice squad ahead of the 2025 campaign.

  • Kendall Milton RB | CIN

    Kendall Milton: Let go by Bengals

    The Bengals waived Milton on Tuesday.

    Milton showed some potential this preseason with 94 carries on 17 carries (5.5 YPC). The Georgia product spent most of the 2024 season on the Bengals' practice squad, which is likely where he'll look to land if he clears waivers.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Michael Carter: Gets cut by Cardinals

    The Cardinals released Carter on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    In nine games with the Cardinals over the last two seasons, Carter turned 57 carries into 280 yards (4.9 YPC) and one touchdown and added 20 catches on 22 targets for 90 yards and another TD. While those numbers are respectable, they weren't enough to make the cut for the 53-man roster in a depth role behind James Conner and Trey Benson. Carter can sign with any team but may end up back on Arizona's practice squad, where he spent most of the 2024 campaign.

  • Gary Brightwell: Cut by Cincinnati

    The Bengals released Brightwell on Tuesday.

    Brightwell opted to stay in Cincinnati on a futures contract in January after finishing the 2024 regular season on the team's practice squad. He entered training camp gunning for a depth backfield spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster, but he wasn't able to separate himself from the competition after logging nine carries for 31 yards while adding a nine-yard catch and 93 yards on three kickoff returns. The 2021 sixth-rounder will look to catch on with a team in need of a running back who can also serve on special teams.

  • Eric Gray RB | NYG

    Giants' Eric Gray: Set to miss early action

    Gray was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

    Gray has been sidelined since the beginning of training camp as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. The running back will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season while on the PUP list.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Shown door in Baltimore

    The Ravens released Johnson on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Johnson carried a heavy workload during the preseason, rushing 46 times for 163 yards (3.5 YPC) and two touchdowns while also catching five passes for 26 yards. He was a longshot to make the 53-man roster due to Baltimore's solid running back room. Johnson should have utility on a practice squad. Last season, the 29-year-old posted 143 yards on 32 carries and 96 yards on 12 receptions through 14 games with the Jaguars.

  • Myles Gaskin RB | BAL

    Myles Gaskin: Cut by Ravens

    The Ravens released Gaskin on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Gaskin spent most of his time on practice squads last season, and he signed on with the Ravens in August due to a slew of injuries in Baltimore's backfield. The Ravens are healthy again, and Gaskin will now seek his next role, which will likely be on a practice squad again. Through 12 games over the past three seasons, Gaskin has rushed 13 times for 25 yards.

  • Raheim Sanders RB | CLE

    Raheim Sanders: Cut by Los Angeles

    Sanders was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.

    Sanders signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in April, ultimately putting together an impressive preseason. The running back turned 28 carries into 101 yards and two scores, while also adding five catches for 29 yards and a 21-yard kickoff return over three contests. If he clears waivers, Sanders appears to be a strong candidate to hang around as a member of the Chargers' practice squad.

  • Jaret Patterson: Let go with injury settlement

    The Chargers waived Patterson (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday.

    The nature and severity of Patterson's injury isn't clear, but the settlement will allow him to sign with a team once he is fully healthy. The only preseason action he saw was the Hall of Fame Game against the Lions on July 31, when he turned three carries into two yards while adding two catches on as many targets for 18 yards.
