Lucas Krull TE | DEN
Saints' Lucas Krull: Leading receiver in preseason loss
Krull caught seven of 15 targets for 106 yards during Sunday's 17-13 preseason defeat against Houston.
Krull led the Saints' receiving corps in targets, receptions and catches against Houston, though he did not haul in the team's lone passing touchdown. Instead, quarterback Jameis Winston hit 36-year-old tight end Jimmy Graham for a three-yard score early in the second quarter. While Krull's performance in the Saints' preseason finale was impressive, it likely won't secure him a roster spot ahead of Tuesday's cutdown deadline, as the team appears very deep at tight end with Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Graham rounding out the top three while Taysom Hill (oblique) slots into his usual jack-of-all-trades role. Krull did spend much of last season on New Orleans' practice squad, and he seems like a shoo-in to reprise his role so long as he doesn't get picked up by another team prior to the regular season.

Hunter Kampmoyer: Waived by Chargers
The Chargers waived Kampmoyer on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
With Gerald Everett and Donald Parham locked in as the top two tight ends on the roster, Kampmoyer was a likely candidate to end up on the outside looking in when final roster cuts rolled around. He will now need to look for a new landing spot unless the Chargers offer him a spot on their practice squad.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Expected to play Week 1
Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he expects Andrews (undisclosed) to practice next week and play in the season opener against Houston on Sunday, Sept. 10, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Andrews missed another practice Monday, marking his third straight absence, and it sounds like he'll remain out for at least a few more days. Harbaugh has insisted the tight end is dealing with a minor issue, though the specifics of the injury have yet to be released. Andrews can be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Camren McDonald TE | LAR
Camren McDonald: Leaving LA
The Rams waived McDonald on Monday.
McDonald signed with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent but was ultimately sent packing early in training camp. He subsequently latched on with the Rams and was competing for a depth tight end role. The rookie ultimately came up short in his quest, but there is still a possibility the team could offer him a role on its practice squad.

Christian Sims TE | LAR
Christian Sims: Waived by Rams
Sims was waived by the Rams on Monday.
Sims signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent this past offseason. He recorded 94 receptions for 948 yards and five touchdowns in over 30 games during his collegiate career at Bowling Green. The rookie was considered a long shot to make it through final cuts, but it remains to be seen if the team will offer him a spot on the practice squad.

Mason Schreck TE | HOU
Mason Schreck: Cut by Texans
Schreck was waived by the Texans on Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Schreck spent his first four seasons in Cincinnati before joining the Texans in 2022. He suited up for three games but primarily worked on the team's practice squad. That appears to be his likely destination again this year, but he could opt to look elsewhere for opportunities as well.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Misses another practice
Andrews (undisclosed) didn't practice Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
The report notes that Andrews has missed the team's past three practices, with coach John Harbaugh having indicated last week that the tight end is "working through" something but "nothing serious." For now, consider Andrews day-to-day as the Ravens' Sept. 10 contest against the Texans approaches.

Chris Myarick TE | LV
Giants' Chris Myarick: Lands on IR
The Giants placed Myarick (hand) on injured reserve Monday.
Myarick suffered a metacarpal fracture in his hand during the Giants' preseason finale, which ultimately led to this move. With the addition of Darren Waller during the offseason, he was already on the roster bubble during training camp. Now, Myarick will focus on his recovery, as he is set to miss the entire 2023 season.

Colin Thompson TE | MIN
Colin Thompson: Gets cut loose
Thompson was waived by the Vikings on Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Thompson joined the Vikings in July after spending last season on the Panthers' practice squad. He'll now need to work to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Alize Mack TE | TEN
Alize Mack: Cut with injury designation
The Titans waived Mack (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Nick Suss of the Tennessean reports.
Mack is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but the issue was enough to eliminate his chances of sticking to the Titans' final 53-man roster. Since joining the NFL as a seventh-round pick of the Saints back in 2019, he has yet to appear in a regular-season game.
