The Saints waived Krull on Tuesday.

Krull didn't appear in the preseason opener and had a seven-yard touchdown nullified in Week 2. The 6-foot-6 tight end signed with the Saints in May as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh, where he finished his final collegiate campaign with 38 receptions for 451 yards and six touchdowns.

The Saints waived Holtz on Tuesday.

The Saints don't have a headliner at tight end, but it is a deep group, which left Holtz as the odd man out. The undrafted pro out of Pittsburgh hasn't caught a pass since 2019, but his blocking prowess may draw the attention of a few teams.

Minnesota waived Davidson on Tuesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.

No surprise here, as Davidson figured to have long odds in terms of making the final roster. He was No. 4 on the tight end depth chart heading into roster cuts. This outcome mirrors last season, as he was cut by the Vikings during final cuts and subsequently spent the year on their practice squad.

The Rams waived Pinkney on Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Pinkney appeared in two games with the Lions last year but wasn't targeted. He landed a contract with the Rams in June but was unable to make the team's 53-man roster.

The Cowboys waived McKeon (ankle) on Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

McKeon has appeared in 23 games for Dallas over the last two seasons, securing four of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown during that time. However, he was unable to make the Cowboys' 53-man roster in 2022. He dealt with an ankle injury in practice last week, and it's not yet clear when he'll be back to full health. However, the 24-year-old wasn't waived with an injury designation, so he'll be free to sign elsewhere if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Panthers waived Thompson (calf) on Tuesday.

Thomson dealt with a calf injury for the majority of August and missed all three of the Panthers' regular season contests. The 6-foot-4 tight end has appeared in 26 contests for Carolina over the past two seasons, but he ended last year on the team's practice squad.

The Broncos released Tomlinson on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Tomlinson appeared in all 17 games for the Ravens last year and secured his lone target for seven yards. He's back to full health after dealing with a foot injury in June, but he'll be let go by Denver ahead of the regular season.

The Bengals waived Rigg on Tuesday.

Rigg caught a three-yard touchdown during the Bengals' preseason finale, his only catch of the preseason, but he didn't do enough during training camp to land a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster. The 6-foot-6 tight end signed with Cincinnati in May as an undrafted free agent out of Kentucky, and he may land on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Parham (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Parham has been out since the first week of August and continues to miss practice with less than two weeks to go before the Chargers' season opener. Gerald Everett and Tre' McKitty could pick up a few extra snaps and routes if Parham isn't ready for Week 1 against the Raiders.

The Broncos will place Dulcich (hamstring) on injured reserve this week, ruling him out for four games with the expectation he'll be be ready to play Week 5, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Broncos GM George Paton said he expects the rookie tight end to be "100 percent" healthy after the four-game minimum stay on IR. It's not the kickoff to his career many hoped for when reports emerged during OTAs that Dulcich was seeing work with the starters, but it does seem he'll have chance to contribute on offense this year. The hamstring injury cost him most of training camp and all of the preseason, after initially being an issue at spring practices.
