Allen did not participate in OTAs on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Head coach Brian Flores did not add any specifics regarding Allen's injury, which likely means it isn't anything too serious, especially at this point in the offseason. The veteran tight end signed a two-year deal with the Dolphins back in March.

Searight (hamstring) was placed on the waived/injured list by the Buccaneers on Tuesday.

Searight was let go by the Buccaneers on Monday and will stay with the team after clearing waivers. The Fordham product caught 42 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns in 2018.

Duarte was waived by the Panthers on Monday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

Duarte signed with the Panthers after his stint in the AAF. He still is yet to appear in an NFL game since his rookie season in 2016.

Searight (hamstring) was waived/injured by the Buccaneers on Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

The specifics of the hamstring injury remain unknown, but Searight didn't even make it a full week in Tampa Bay before being cut loose. There is a chance the tight end could end up on the team's injured reserve list when it's all said and done.

Washington was cut by the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Washington signed with the Cardinals in April after going undrafted out of Rutgers, and now parts ways with the team to make room for a new set of rookies. In 2018, Washington caught 11 passes for 202 yards across five games for Rutgers.

Wolf signed a contract with the Panthers on Monday, Bryan Strickland of the team's official site reports.

Wolf spent the 2018 offseason with the Titans after going undrafted out of Tennessee and spent time on the Packers' practice squad before sustaining an undisclosed injury. Now healthy, he joins a crowded tight end room that includes top options Greg Olsen (foot) and Ian Thomas.

Parham was waived by Detroit on Sunday.

Parham's release comes just two days after he signed a deal with the Lions. Standing at 6-foot-8, the Stetson product will have to look for another team that wants to try to make use of his size this offseason.

Searight signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Friday.

Searight is coming off a productive tenure at Fordham where he was a three-year starter and three-time All-Patriot League selection. Given the Buccaneers' depth at tight end, however, he will be hard-pressed to make the team's final roster.

Parham signed a contract with the Lions on Friday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.

A 6-foot-8, 243-pound undrafted free agent out of Stetson, Parham boasts great size for the tight end position. He'll join a position group in Detroit that's in need of considerable improvement after a rocky 2018 season.

Derek Anderson has decided to retire from Buffalo, leaving the Bills with three quarterbacks for now -- Josh Allen, Matt Barkley and Jackson.

While there's almost no way the unpolished Jackson will unseat either of the top two, Anderson's departure puts the undrafted rookie that much closer to a roster spot instead of a practice squad situation. The Bills are currently in a "We have a lot of cap room so we'll keep spending it to rework the roster" mode, so it'd be a mild surprise if the team doesn't bring in one more QB ahead of summer work. As for Jackson, he has a lot in common with Allen -- big arm, good running skills and tons of size to help offset footwork and accuracy concerns -- so there's something for the Bills to work with if they want him in the QB room.
