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.

The Chargers waived Kampmoyer on Tuesday.

Kampmoyer caught four passes for 35 yards, including a two-point conversion, across three preseason games. The 6-foot-4 tight end made his NFL debut last year, but he played just three offensive snaps during his only appearance. He's a likely candidate to return to Los Angeles via a practice squad deal if he clears waivers.

Fisk was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Fisk was unable to carve out a large enough role for himself in the Falcons offense, getting let go Tuesday. If he clears waivers, the tight end will likely return to Atlanta's practice squad.

Firkser was released by the Falcons on Tuesday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Firkser will be looking for a new team after he was unable to crack the Falcons' initial 53-man roster upon signing with the team in April. The tight end played in 15 games with Titans last season, accruing 34 catches for 291 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bengals waived Eubanks on Tuesday, Andrew Kahn of MLive.com reports.

Eubanks is still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut, but he won't stick with Cincinnati's initial 53-man roster. He could be a candidate to resurface on the Bengals' practice squad. As a rookie in 2021, Eubanks spent time on the Eagles and Lions' practice squads.

The Browns waived Forristall on Tuesday, Anthony Poisal of the team's official site reports.

Forristall appeared in his first two NFL games last year, totaling 28 snaps (11 offensive), and signed a futures deal with Cleveland in January. However, he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline.

Trautman missed time recently while in the concussion protocol but has since been cleared and is healthy heading into Week 1, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.

In Trautman's own words, he "banged his head up a little," but the tight end is now practicing without limitations. He's expected to open the season atop the depth chart at his position after totaling 263 yards and two touchdowns in 2021.

Myarick (foot) is expected back at practice this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Myarick is dealing with a minor foot injury, but he should be back practicing at some point this week. The tight end is expected to be the primary backup option behind rookie Daniel Bellinger (concussion) this season.

Bell (hip) is expected to make the Chiefs' initial 53-man roster then be placed on IR, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Bell's placement on IR won't be season-ending due to him making Kansas City's initial 53-man roster, but he will be required to miss at least the first four games of the season once the move is made official. Once healthy, Bell is expected to handle an important depth role behind Travis Kelce.

Bellinger (concussion) appears to be moving through the concussion protocol rapidly, Art Stapleton of The Record Sports reports, as the tight end was spotted on the field during Tuesday's practice.

Concussions can have varying severities and return timelines, but Bellinger's appears to be mild considering he was able to take the field just two days after the injury, even if he wasn't doing much during the portion of practice available to the media. While he has yet to officially get the green light, it seems likely that the rookie fourth-round pick will be cleared in time to suit up for the Giants' Sept. 11 season opener in Tennessee.
