  • Cowboys' Brevyn Spann-Ford: Back at practice Monday

    Spann-Ford (ankle) was able to practice Monday, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    The second-year tight end suffered an ankle injury during training camp in late July. Spann-Ford recovered in time to avoid a stint on the IR, and the fact that the Cowboys carried only three TEs on their initial 53-man roster is a strong sign that he'll be ready for Week 1. Spann-Ford will compete for snaps with Luke Schoonmaker (concussion) behind starter Jake Ferguson.

  • Tre Watson TE | KC

    Tre Watson: Dropped by Kansas City

    Watson was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

    Watson signed with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in April, ultimately recording just one catch for four yards in one preseason contest with the team. The tight end will likely clear waivers and then look for another opportunity elsewhere.

  • Geor'quarius Spivey: Cut loose by Kansas City

    Spivey was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

    Spivey signed with Kansas City for the second straight year prior to training camp, and for the second year in a row, he failed to make the initial 53-man roster. The tight end did not produce any stats during the preseason, and he may be looking for another opportunity elsewhere.

  • Josiah Deguara TE | ARI

    Josiah Deguara: Hits the open market

    Deguara was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

    Deguara will hit the open market after he compiled four catches for 48 yards over Arizona's three preseason contests. The tight end played in 15 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024, but he may have to settle for a practice squad spot with a new team ahead of the 2025 campaign.

  • Caden Prieskorn: Unable to make 53-man roster

    Prieskorn was waived by Denver on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

    Prieskorn signed a contract with the Broncos this offseason as an undrafted free agent rookie, however, he fell short of making the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old Ole Miss product caught his only target this preseason for a seven-yard touchdown. Prieskorn will now seek his next opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2025 season.

  • Messiah Swinson: Dropped by Green Bay

    Swinson was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

    Swinson appeared in just one preseason contest with Green Bay, reeling in one catch for four yards. He will now likely look for another opportunity elsewhere.

  • Bryson Nesbit TE | MIN

    Bryson Nesbit: Unable to make 53-man roster

    The Vikings waived Nesbit on Tuesday.

    Nesbit tied for second on the Vikings during the preseason with 73 receiving yards, scoring once on five receptions. The undrafted rookie's biggest knock coming out of North Carolina was his run blocking, and he seemingly didn't prove enough this summer, getting beat out by fellow undrafted rookie Benjamin Yurosek for the No. 3 tight end role. Nesbit may have an opportunity to stick around on the practice squad.

  • Robert Tonyan: Released by Kansas City

    Tonyan was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

    Tonyan signed with the Chiefs in March and was unable to do enough during the preseason to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. The 31-year-old tight end recorded just three catches for 49 yards in his preseason action. Tonyan will now look to find a role with another team ahead of the 2025 season.

  • Vikings' Gavin Bartholomew: Moves to PUP list

    Bartholomew (back) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

    The rookie sixth-round pick out of Pittsburgh missed the entire training camp and will now sit out at least four games. Bartholomew put together a solid collegiate career but never surpassed 326 yards or four touchdowns in a season. Once he returns, he'll look to usurp undrafted rookie Benjamin Yurosek for the No. 3 tight end job.

  • Nick Vannett TE | MIN

    Nick Vannett: Released by Vikings

    The Vikings released Vannett on Tuesday.

    Veteran tight ends Vannett and Giovanni Ricci were let go by the Vikings on cutdown day. Vannett finished the preseason with three receptions for 22 yards. The 32-year-old played all 17 games with the Titans last season and posted 17 receptions for 135 yards and three touchdowns. His experience makes him a strong practice-squad candidate if he can't latch on elsewhere.
