The Browns signed Van Vooren to a contract Monday.

The undrafted free agent out of St. Norbert was let go by the Seahawks in mid-June, but Van Vooren will get another shot at making an NFL roster with the Browns. He's a longshot to make the Browns' 53-man roster in late August, but a strong training camp could give Van Vooren the opportunity to stick around on the team's practice squad.

Taylor (ankle) didn't practice Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Head coach Aaron Glenn will likely provide an update on Taylor's injury when Glenn speaks to reporters after Tuesday's practice if Taylor hasn't returned by then. Taylor has looked like the Jets' best tight end in training camp and is listed as the backup to Jeremy Ruckert on the unofficial depth chart the team released Sunday, though that may just be a matter of making the rookie second-round pick earn his starting spot in the preseason, which begins for the Jets with a road game in Green Bay on Saturday.

Pline was waived by the 49ers on Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pline had been part of the organization since May of 2024. He will be free to sign with any team as a free agent if Pline passes through waivers unclaimed. San Francisco still has Luke Farrell, Ross Dwelley, Brayden Willis and Jake Tonges competing for depth roles behind George Kittle.

Warren is listed as the lone starting tight end on the Colts' initial preseason depth chart.

The preseason depth charts may not mean much, but there are other indicators of Warren handling a large role right away rather than being eased into things. Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said Friday that he wants to "try a bunch of different stuff" with Warren and "give him a bunch of shots at a bunch of different aspects of playing offensive football," per The Associated Press. The 14th overall pick likely will get playing time in Thursday's preseason opener against Baltimore, as QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones both are scheduled to play (amid their competition for the starting job).

Welch (undisclosed) was an active participant at the Saints' practice Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Welch exited Wednesday's practice early with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be back to full strength after a couple days of rest. The tight end spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign on the practice squad with New Orleans, and he will likely be limited to the same role if he sticks around with the Saints in 2025.

Washington and the Ravens agreed on a contract Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Washington will return to Baltimore after spending the final handful of weeks with the team's practice squad in 2024. With Isaiah Likely (foot) sidelined for up to six weeks after undergoing surgery, Washington will provide the Ravens with another body at tight end during the team's training camp.

Cupp signed with the Ravens on Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Cupp was waived by Kansas City earlier in the offseason and appeared in one game with the team in 2024. He's a longshot to make the roster in Baltimore, but he will provide the team with some practice depth while Isaiah Likely (foot) remains sidelined.

Mundt (upper body) was a limited participant at the Jaguars' practice Sunday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Mundt had been sidelined with an undisclosed upper-body injury for a series of practices. The tight end's return to practice opens the door for him to potentially play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers.

Murray (groin) was held out of practice with a groin injury Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Murray appears to have suffered a groin injury at practice during the week, and he may now be at risk of missing the Bears' preseason opener Aug. 10 versus the Dolphins. The tight end will look to return to the practice field ahead of the contest, but if he can't make it, he'll shift his focus to Aug. 17 against Buffalo.

The Raiders waived Conroy on Sunday.

The move makes room on the Raiders' training camp roster for Albert Okwuegbunam, who was let go by the Colts on Thursday. Conroy signed with the Raiders in early May as an undrafted free agent, but he'll now look for other opportunities assuming he clears waivers.
