The Dolphins waived Rucci on Tuesday.

Rucci entered Dolphins' training camp gunning for a depth spot on the 53-man roster, but the Wisconsin tight end failed to record a catch across three preseason games. Rucci spent most of 2024 on the Dolphins' practice squad, and assuming he clears waivers he could reprise that role for the 2025 campaign.

Runyon was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday.

Runyon signed with Las Vegas as an undrafted free agent in May, recording six catches for 74 yards over the team's three preseason contests. The tight end will now be placed on waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, he could stick around as a member of the Raiders' practice squad.

The Ravens didn't place Likely (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Likely hasn't practiced since late July and is considered uncertain for Week 1 after summer surgery, but he apparently has a shot to be ready at some point in September. An absence could free up more targets and snaps for a slew of teammates, including tight ends Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar and depth receivers DeAndre Hopkins (knee) and Devontez Walker.

The Raiders released Okwuegbunam on Tuesday.

Okwuegbunam caught on with the Raiders in early August after being let go by the Colts on July 31, and across Las Vegas' three preseason games he logged three catches (on five targets) for 24 yards. The 2020 fourth-rounder wasn't able to grab a spot on the Raiders' 53-man roster, but he could stay in Las Vegas as a member of the team's practice squad.

The Texans waived Lachey on Tuesday.

Houston selected Lachey in the seventh round of April's NFL Draft, and he caught five of six targets for 21 yards over three preseason games. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Lachey will likely land on the Texans' practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Texans placed Smith (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Smith is dealing with an ankle sprain, which he may have picked up during the Texans' preseason finale against the Lions on Saturday. He was placed on IR without a designation to return, meaning he'll be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Texans.

The Texans released Bryant on Tuesday.

Bryant played 13 games with the Raiders last season and posted nine catches (12 targets) for 86 yards. He signed with the Eagles in March and was subsequently traded to the Texans on Aug. 17 in a deal that had John Metchie going the other way. However, Bryant couldn't carve out a role, so the Texans' initial 53-man roster will feature tight ends Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.

The Bills waived Latu on Tuesday.

Latu -- an undrafted rookie -- and fifth-year tight end Zach Davidson were let go Tuesday, while rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes made the 53-man roster as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. Latu may secure a practice-squad spot if he clears waivers.

The Bills waived Davidson on Tuesday.

A 2021 fifth-round pick, Davidson spent the 2024 season on the Bills' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster three times, catching one of two targets for five yards. Davidson can play on special teams, so he's a candidate to stick around on the practice squad in case of injuries during the season.

Cager was cut by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

Cager recorded four catches for 54 yards while appearing in two preseason games with Washington. The tight end will look for another opportunity, and he will now likely have to settle for a practice squad spot ahead of the 2025 season.
