Thomas Greaney TE | CLE
Thomas Greaney: Let go by Cleveland
The Browns waived Greaney on Sunday
Greaney joined the Browns in May as an undrafted free agent. He managed to record eight catches for 61 yards in four preseason games. He'll now look to land on a practice squad ahead of the regular season.

Miller Forristall TE | LAR
Miller Forristall: Let go by Cleveland
The Browns waived Forristall on Sunday.
Forristall signed with the Browns on Aug. 4 after being waived by the Saints in July. He spent the last two seasons in Cleveland, where he appeared in six games without hauling in a catch over that time frame. He'll now look to land a practice squad spot elsewhere.

Justin Rigg TE | TEN
Justin Rigg: Let go by Tennessee
The Titans waived Rigg on Sunday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Rigg hauled in just one catch for five yards in the Titans' preseason opener against the Bears on Aug. 12. It was always an uphill battle to crack a depth role at tight end against Trevon Wesco and Josh Whyle. Once he clears waivers, Rigg will look to land on another team's practice squad.

Johnny Lumpkin TE | GB
Johnny Lumpkin: Let go by New England
The Patriots waived Lumpkin on Sunday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Lumpkin joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in May. He failed to haul in a catch across three preseason games and will now look elsewhere for an opportunity at a roster or practice squad spot.

Daniel Bellinger TE | TEN
Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Doesn't play in preseason finale
Bellinger sat out Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.
Bellinger played in the Giants' first two preseason games, nabbing his only target for a four-yard touchdown connection with Daniel Jones. With Darren Waller added to the team in the offseason, Bellinger is slated to work in a backup role after featuring as a starter during his rookie campaign last year. That likely takes him off the fantasy radar in most formats, though he could emerge as a potential asset if Waller is unable to stay healthy.

Mike Gesicki TE | CIN
Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Sheds non-contact jersey
Gesicki (shoulder) shed his red non-contact jersey during Sunday's practice, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Gesicki returned to practice last week in a limited fashion after suffering a mild shoulder dislocation in mid-August. It's unclear how intense Sunday's session was, but it's still encouraging to see the veteran tight end taking the next steps in his rehab process. It appears Gesicki is on track to be fully cleared soon, and there's only two weeks left before New England opens the regular season against Philadelphia at home.

Nick Eubanks TE | IND
Nick Eubanks: Cut from team
Eubanks was waived by the Colts on Sunday.
Eubanks signed with the Colts earlier in August, but unfortunately, was not able to make it far enough up the team's depth chart to get a longer look. The Michigan product will now have to search out a new opportunity elsewhere.
-
Michael Jacobson TE | NO
Michael Jacobson: Gets let go
Jacobson was waived by the Colts on Sunday.
Jacobson joined the team Aug. 5 after spending the last couple of seasons on their practice squad. The Iowa State product will now look for a new opportunity, or perhaps ultimately end up on Indianapolis' practice squad once again.
-
Jace Sternberger TE | BUF
Jace Sternberger: Let go by Buffalo
The Bills waived Sternberger on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sternberger signed with the Bills in July after spending the past two seasons on the practice squads of the Packers, Commanders and Steelers. With the Buffalo tight end room headlined by Dawson Knox and 2023 first-round pick Dalton Kincaid, it was always a longshot for Sternberger to crack the final 53-man roster.

Lawrence Cager TE | WAS
Giants' Lawrence Cager: Three catches in preseason finale
Cager caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.
Cager started the game for New York with both Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger not suiting up. Cager has been in a battle with Chris Myarick for the Giants' third tight-end role, but the latter suffered a hand fracture Saturday, which may have cemented Cager's inclusion on the initial 53-man roster. He's unlikely to see much action on offense behind Waller and Bellinger, though Cager is also expected to contribute on special teams.
