The Jets waived Kuntz on Sunday.

Kuntz signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January after spending last season on their practice squad. Should he clear waivers, the 26-year-old could be a candidate to land on the Jets' practice squad once again.

The Browns waived Van Vooren on Sunday.

Van Vooren did not impress enough to land a spot on the team's final roster after having signed with them earlier this month. The rookie undrafted free agent will now look for another NFL opportunity and could be a candidate to land on Cleveland's practice squad.

The Browns waived Cannella on Sunday.

Cannella joined the team in June after spending last season with the UFL's Arlington Renegades but was unable to earn a spot on Cleveland's final roster. He will look to catch on with another team and make his NFL regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

The Bears waived Gordon on Sunday.

Gordon played in the Bears' first two preseason games but failed to record a catch across those two contests. Once he clears waivers, the Northwestern product will explore his next options and attempt to catch on with a team in need of tight end depth.

The Rams waived Castles on Sunday.

Castles did not haul in a catch across two preseason games with the Rams and will not be on the team's 53-man roster heading into the regular season. Assuming he clears waivers, Castles will look to catch on with a team's practice squad to provide depth at tight end.

The Bills waived Sokol on Sunday.

It's the second time in two weeks that the Bills let go of Sokol, who played in all three of Buffalo's preseason games and finished with one catch (on two targets) for two yards while adding a solo tackle. Assuming he clears waivers, Sokol will explore his next options and pursue signing with a team in need of depth at tight end, likely on the practice squad.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Sunday that Whiteheart (knee) is potentially available for the Browns' Week 1 contest against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 7, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Whiteheart suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the Browns' preseason finale against the Rams on Sunday. The good news for the third-year tight end is that the injury isn't considered severe enough for him to be ruled out for Cleveland's regular-season opener, and his practice participation over the next two weeks should shed light on whether he'll be cleared to play in Week 1. Brenden Bates would be the top candidate to fill in as the Browns' TE3 behind David Njoku and Harold Fannin if Whiteheart is unable to play.

Trautman reeled in his lone target for two yards in Saturday's 28-19 win over the Saints.

Trautman had a quiet game in Denver's final preseason contest in New Orleans. The veteran played just 12 snaps and seems locked in as the team's No. 2 tight end behind Evan Engram and ahead of both Nate Adkins (ankle) and Lucas Krull. With that said, Trautman is not a major factor in the Broncos' game, finishing with just 13 receptions in 2024. With Engram serving as the top pass-catching tight end, Trautman will likely compete for snaps as a blocking specialist with Adkins and Krull in 2025.

Gadsden recorded three catches on four targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss.

Gadsden played for well over half of the game and showed off his ability as a pass catcher. His most notable grab was a contested 25-yard touchdown reception delivered by DJ Uiagalelei. Gadsden has gotten some positive attention for his performance during training camp, and he'll head into the first regular season of his pro career with some positive momentum.

Hawes brought in his only target for eight yards in the Bills' 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.

The rookie fifth-round pick got on the board for the first time this preseason after failing to come up with either of his two targets in the first two preseason contests. Hawes' minimal participation in the passing game to date is likely to be mimicked during the regular season, as he profiles as the blocking specialist of a tight-end room that's headlined by Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.
