  • Frank Gore Jr. RB | BUF

    Frank Gore: Cut by Buffalo

    The Bills waived Gore (knee) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The son of longtime NFL running back Frank Gore, the Southern Miss product went undrafted in April before signing with the Bills. Gore was impressive during the preseason, rushing for 163 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries while adding four grabs for an additional 16 yards. It wasn't enough to claim a 53-man roster spot behind James Cook and fourth-round rookie Ray Davis, but there's a good chance Gore is either claimed or lands a job on a practice squad.

  • Chris Collier: Won't make 53-man roster

    Collier was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday.

    Collier joined Baltimore as an undrafted free agent out of Lock Haven in April. The 24-year-old was able to stick with the team until final cuts, which may bode well for a potential second opportunity with the team in the future.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Tyler Badie: Doesn't make final cut

    Badie was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.

    Badie has been a regular on Denver's practice squad each of the last two seasons and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January. Now, he'll likely have to find another practice squad opportunity,

  • Nate McCrary RB | GB

    Nate McCrary: Gets let go

    McCrary was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    McCrary was a late addition during training camp, not joining the team until Aug. 14. According to Wood, the Saginaw Valley State product is likely to join Green Bay's practice squad.

  • Chris Rodriguez: Waived by Washington

    The Commanders waived Rodriguez on Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    A 2023 sixth-round pick, Rodriguez saw a bigger role late last season and averaged 7.4 carries for 37.2 yards over a five-game stretch Weeks 11-16 before an ankle injury brought his rookie campaign to an early end. He came back healthy this spring, but the new coaching staff in Washington seemed to prefer 28-year-old Jeremy McNichols for the No. 3 RB role behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler. It won't be surprising if a team in need of a power runner claims the 224-pound Rodriguez off waivers.

  • Mike Boone RB | MIA

    Mike Boone: Won't make initial rostery

    Boone was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Boone spent last season in Houston before he was waived and inked a deal with Carolina's practice squad. The veteran running back is considered a candidate to once again join the team's practice squad, assuming he doesn't find a better option elsewhere.

  • Dante Miller RB | NYG

    Dante Miller: Gets cut loose

    Miller (hamstring) was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Miller was dealing with a hamstring injury last week but it doesn't appear the team waived him with an injury designation, so he should be considered healthy. The South Carolina product was impressive when he was able to suit up in preseason and camp, making him a likely practice-squad candidate for another team or the Giants themselves, if he clears waivers.

  • Jacob Kibodi RB | CLE

    Jacob Kibodi: Let go by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Kibodi on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Undrafted out of Louisiana, Kibodi signed with the Saints as a free agent and rushed 18 times for 71 yards (3.9 YPC) and two touchdowns during the preseason. He also caught four passes for 30 yards. Perhaps Kibodi did enough to warrant a look on the practice squad should he go unclaimed Wednesday.

  • Jaden Shirden RB | CAR

    Jaden Shirden: Cut by Carolina

    The Panthers waived Shirden on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    The undrafted rookie out of Monmouth was unable to crack the roster behind Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders despite rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee, NFI) being out for the first four games of the season. Shirden rushed 17 times for 47 yards (2.8 YPC) during the preseason, adding three catches for 42 additional yards.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Will start on IR

    Miller (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, which will force him to miss at least the first four games of the year, Sean Fazende of Fox 8 New Orleans reports.

    Miller hasn't yet resumed practicing since suffering a hamstring injury at the very beginning of training camp, so it's not much of a surprise that he'll be unavailable for the start of the regular season. That could provide Jordan Mims, who led the Saints in rushing yards this preseason, a clearer path to a spot on the 53-man roster. Once officially placed on IR, Miller's first opportunity to return to action will come in Week 5 against Kansas City.
