  • 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: 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.

  • Giovanni Ricci TE | MIN

    Giovanni Ricci: Dropped by Vikings

    The Vikings released Ricci on Tuesday.

    Ricci caught one pass for 11 yards during the preseason. The 28-year-old tight end hasn't played an NFL game since the 2023 season with the Panthers. He could be a practice squad candidate with the Vikings.

  • Chiefs' Jake Briningstool: Starting season on IR

    The Chiefs placed Briningstool (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Briningstool has been working through a hamstring injury since the start of training camp, and the issue is severe enough for him to start the season on IR. He'll be required to miss the first four games of the regular season, making Week 5 against the Jaguars on Monday, Oct. 6 his first opportunity to make his 2025 debut. Briningstool signed with the Chiefs in late April as an undrafted free agent following a four-year college career at Clemson.

  • Thomas Yassmin TE | LAC

    Thomas Yassmin: Cut by Los Angeles

    Yassmin was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.

    Yassmin joined the team Aug. 7 as a part of the NFL's International Player Pathway training program, failing to make an appearance in any of the team's remaining preseason games following his arrival. The tight end spent the 2024 campaign as a member of the Broncos' practice squad, and he will likely operate in the same role with the Chargers or another organization this season.

  • Erick All TE | CIN

    Bengals' Erick All: Placed on reserve/PUP list

    The Bengals placed All (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

    The move technically means that All would be eligible to return after missing a minimum of four regular-season games. However, the 2024 fourth-rounder is not expected to play in 2025 while recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered in Week 9 of his rookie season. He's suffered the same injury to his right knee twice in the last two seasons dating back to his final year at Iowa, so the Bengals will take All's rehab cautiously, with the hope that he will be fully healthy for 2026.
