    Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Three grabs to close out preseason

    Culp secured all three targets for 33 yards and lost a fumble in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

    The athletic tight end played a position-high 20 snaps from scrimmage and made good use of his three targets, but his turnover late in the third quarter came in Bills territory. Nevertheless, Culp appears to be a virtual lock for the 53-man roster as a complementary pass-catching option alongside No. 1 tight end Cade Otton, following a solid training camp and preseason that have earned him accolades from new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard.

  • Tyler Mabry TE | CAR

    Tyler Mabry: Let go from IR

    Mabry was waived from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement with the Panthers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Mabry was placed on IR by Carolina on Aug. 18 with an undisclosed injury, which would have sidelined him for the entire season. Now that he's a free agent, the tight end can pass a physical and sign elsewhere at any point and play in 2025.

    J.J. Galbreath: Cut by Pittsburgh

    The Steelers waived Galbreath on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Galbreath appeared in all three of the Steelers' preseason games and finished with three catches (on five targets) for 23 yards. He wasn't able to make Pittsburgh's 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers, the undrafted rookie out of South Dakota could remain with the team as a member of the practice squad.

  • Oscar Cardenas TE | ARI

    Oscar Cardenas: Waived by Arizona

    The Cardinals waived Cardenas on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Cardenas did not log a target across the Cardinals' three preseason games. The undrafted rookie will have the opportunity to explore his next options if he clears waivers, though he could remain in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad.

    Cupp signed with the Ravens in early August after being let go by Kansas City, recording two catches for 13 catches while appearing in one game during the preseason. If the tight end clear waivers, there's a good chance he sticks around Baltimore as a member of the team's practice squad.

  • Dominique Dafney: Let go by Panthers

    The Panthers waived Dafney on Monday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Dafney appeared in all three of the Panthers' preseason games, logging three catches (on four targets) for 32 yards. He won't be part of the Panthers' 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers he could remain in Carolina as part of the practice squad. Dafney last saw regular-season action in 2021 with the Packers, when he played in 10 games and caught two passes (on four targets) for 34 yards.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Misses practice Monday

    Andrews (undisclosed) missed practice Monday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

    While coach John Harbaugh didn't specify why Andrews was sidelined Monday, he noted that the tight end is expected to work next week, when the Ravens begin their practice preparations ahead of Week 1. With that in mind, Andrews' status now is worth monitoring, along with that of fellow TE Isaiah Likely, who continues to deal with a foot injury that leaves his status for the regular-season opener uncertain.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Ramping up activity level

    Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waller "has continued his progression" and will be increasing his activity level at practice this week, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

    Waller spent most of training camp on the active/PUP list for conditioning reasons before being cleared to practice Aug. 20, and he's now continuing to ramp up his participation with the regular-season opener against Indianapolis less than two weeks away. He's expected to open the year as the Dolphins' top receiving tight end, a role that will be increasingly valuable if Tyreek Hill (oblique) is limited at all by the time Week 1 kicks off.
