Dominique Dafney TE | CAR
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.
