The Jets waived/injured Curtis (knee) on Sunday, Eric Allen and Amanda Vogt of the team's official site report.

Curtis exited the Jets' preseason contest against the Steelers early with a knee injury. The tight end's issue proved severe enough to keep him out of the preseason finale against the Giants on Friday. Curtis will likely clear waivers and revert to the team's injured reserve list, where he will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Vikings waived/injured Nesbit (undisclosed) on Sunday, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.

Nesbit participated in the first two preseason games for the Vikings before succumbing to injury, catching three of his six targets for 29 yards. If Nesbit clears waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve list, where he will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Packers waived/injured Yassmin (undisclosed) on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Yassmin signed with the Packers in late July through the NFL's International Player Pathway program. The tight end participated in the Packers' first two preseason games, catching his sole target for six yards. The Australian missed Friday's preseason finale due to an unknown injury and will now be placed on waivers. If Yassmin goes unclaimed, he will revert to the Packers' injured reserve list. Once on IR, the tight end will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season there unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Musgrave (neck) was moved to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Musgrave missed the entirety of the preseason while on the active/PUP list with a neck injury that he suffered during OTAs in June. The oft-injured tight end will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season. In his absence, newly acquired veteran Jonnu Smith will likely operate as the primary backup behind starting tight end Tucker Kraft (knee).

The Packers waived/injured Castles (undisclosed) on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

The Packers signed Castles in early August after waiving him in late April. The tight end participated in all three preseason games for the Packers but did not show up in the box score. Castles will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will revert to the Packers' injured reserve list. If the 26-year-old reverts to IR, he will spend the entirety of the 2026 season there unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Cowboys waived/injured Rogers (knee) on Sunday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Rogers suffered an MCL sprain late in the preseason. The tight end will now be subject to waivers. If Rogers goes unclaimed, he will revert to the Cowboys' injured reserve list, where he will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Texans cut Jordan (knee) on Sunday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jordan suffered a knee injury in early August that prevented the tight end from participating in any preseason games or activities. The tight end's injury is likely one of the main reasons he was unable to make the Texans' initial 53-man roster. Jordan is now a free agent and will be able to sign with any team's 53-man roster or practice squad as soon as he regains his health.

The Steelers waived Mason on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mason was facing an uphill battle to earn a roster spot as he had only joined this team earlier this month after being claimed off waivers. The rookie undrafted free agent spent time earlier this offseason with the Seahawks and will now look to catch on with another team.

The Chiefs waived Pline on Sunday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pline participated in the Chiefs' preseason opener and finale but did not record a target in either contest. The tight end has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game. Pline will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any franchise.

The Panthers waived Mitchell on Sunday, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell had a strong camp and a solid preseason, catching eight passes for 42 yards over four preseason contests with the Panthers. The tight end will now be subject to waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there is a strong possibility he ends up back with the Panthers on the practice squad.
