Pittsburgh cut Foelsch on Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Foelsch has spent time with the Panthers, Jets, Eagles, Chiefs and Steelers since going undrafted out of New Haven in 2024, but he's still searching for a chance to make his regular-season debut. The second-year tight end will likely end up finding a spot on a practice squad this season.

Henry didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.

After logging six snaps in the Patriots' preseason opener, Henry didn't see action in the team's final two exhibition tilts, with an eye toward keeping him healthy ahead of Week 1. Henry, who is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a receiving line of 66/674/2 on 97 targets in 16 games, approaches the coming campaign as New England's top pass-catching option in a TE corps that also returns Austin Hooper, who recorded 45 catches on 59 targets while working in tandem with Henry last year.

The Patriots waived Fotheringham on Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Fotheringham went undrafted out of Utah back in 2022, spent his rookie year on Las Vegas' practice squad, then suited up for two regular-season games with the Raiders in 2023. Since then, he's logged stints with the Texans, Broncos and Patriots, but he didn't get a chance to suit up for regular-season action with any of those clubs and won't make New England's initial 53-man roster.

New England waived Bell on Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

The Patriots knew Bell was a developmental selection when nabbing him in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, so he seems a likely candidate to resurface on the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Across 15 regular-season appearances as a rookie, Bell totaled two catches for 20 yards on three targets, and his one game with double-digit offensive snaps came Week 18 against Buffalo.

Dulcich caught each of his four targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

It's not a great sign to be playing so much in the second half of the final preseason game, although Dulcich did score the first of his two TDs on New York's first drive. The second came midway through the fourth quarter, at which point most of the players on the field were guys with no real chance at making the Week 1 roster. Dulcich at least has some shot, and the strong showing Thursday night helps his odds to catch on elsewhere or get a practice-squad spot even if he doesn't survive cutdown day.

Freiermuth caught both of his targets for six yards in Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over Carolina.

With Jonnu Smith still sidelined by a knee injury that the Steelers consider minor, Freiermuth didn't have much competition for first-team TE snaps on the first three drives. He suited up along with most other starters, although QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf were held out ahead of a Week 1 matchup with the Jets. The fantasy outlook for Freiermuth was more promising before Pittsburgh traded for Smith this summer, but Freiermuth may still get most of the work in clear passing situations.

Adkins (ankle) won't go on injured reserve to start the 2025 season, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Adkins has been working his way back from an ankle sprain, but head coach Sean Payton expects him to be able to return to action by Week 3. Payton said Thursday that the tight end is "too good a football player for us," thus stressing the importance of having him available as soon as possible.

The Panthers activated Tremble (back) from the active/PUP list Thursday.

Tremble won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Steelers, but he's passed his physical and will be eligible to return to practice immediately. Head coach Dave Canales said Tuesday that Tremble remains on track for Week 1 but that the tight end will need to "get some more physical contact and get that adaptation part, before we can fully clear him," so it sounds like he'll be limited at practice for the time being. Tremble projects as Carolina's official No. 1 tight end but figures to do most of his damage as a blocker, while Ja'Tavion Sanders and rookie fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans offer more pass-catching upside at the position.

Ferguson (groin) will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Browns, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Ferguson returned to practice Monday after having been forced to sit out the Rams' first two preseason games due to a groin injury, but the rookie second-round pick will get a chance to make his exhibition debut on the road versus Cleveland on Saturday. Prior sustaining his groin injury early August, Ferguson had drawn encouraging early reviews at training camp. He'll work to pick up where he left off and continue building momentum Saturday, with the goal of earning opportunities behind 32-year-old incumbent starting tight end Tyler Higbee.

Waller (undisclosed) is participating in position drills Thursday, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Waller's ramping up the scope of his practice participation one day after being activated from the active/PUP list. His absence from team activities prior to that activation was reportedly due to conditioning reasons, as Waller was getting back up to speed after being away from football in 2024. He's expected to serve as Miami's starting tight end in 2025 after unretiring.
