Forristall was waived by New Orleans on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Footballreports.

Forristall started camp on the PUP list but was cleared after passing a physical Monday. The 25-year-old spent the previous two seasons with Cleveland, appearing in just six games. He'll now need to find a new opportunity.

The Dolphins placed Conner (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

The severity of Conner's injury remains unclear, but he's eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason. As a rookie UDFA last year, Conner made 13 appearances but mostly operated on special teams and failed to catch any of his three targets across 22 offensive snaps.

Sternberger signed a one-year deal with the Bills on Tuesday.

Sternberger will now officially head to Buffalo for the 2023 season, after it was first reported that he was supposed to sign there on Monday. The 27-year-old has caught just 12 passes (16 targets) for 114 yards and a touchdown in 18 games throughout his four-year career and will likely be competing for a depth spot behind Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid.

The Texans placed Quitoriano (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

A 2022 fifth-round pick out of Oregon State, Quitoriano appeared in nine games as a rookie and caught seven of 14 targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns. The severity of the 6-foot-6 tight end's injury remains unclear, but he's eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason. When healthy, Quitoriano will compete with Brevin Jordan for backup snaps behind Dalton Schultz.

Schoonmaker (foot) is on the active/non-football injury list for the start of training camp.

The use of the NFI list rather than PUP suggests Schoonmaker's foot issue predates the 2023 NFL Draft or else was suffered afterward while he was away from the team. Either way, the tight end was limited during spring practices and isn't off to the best start as he attempts to earn snaps for a team that lost Dalton Schultz to Houston in the offseason. The second-rounder out of Michigan will compete with second-year pros Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot for playing time.

Swaim is signing with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Swaim has spent each of the past three seasons in Tennessee and appeared in 17 contests last year. The veteran finished with 12 receptions on 16 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in 2022. He should compete for a backup role behind Zach Ertz (knee) and Trey McBride.

Mallory (foot) will begin training camp on the active/PUP list, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The 2023 fifth-round pick has been dealing with a foot injury since the beginning of June, but it seems as if progress has been made. General manager Chris Ballard told reporters the move is precautionary, and Mallory should be back soon. Once the rookie returns, expect him to compete for a depth role amongst a talented group of tight ends ahead of the coming season.

Woods (hamstring) said Tuesday that he'll be full go for training camp, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Woods missed OTAs and veteran minicamp with a hamstring injury but will be back in action for the start of training camp. The 2022 third-round pick caught 25 of 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie in limited action, but the 6-foot-7 pass catcher has a chance to carve out an even bigger role in Year 2. The Colts signed blocking specialist Pharaoh Brown and drafted Will Mallory in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, but Woods' biggest competition for receiving work will come from Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson.

Graham signed a one-year contract with New Orleans on Tuesday.

The 36-year-old may need to compete for a roster spot in a crowded tight end corps that features Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill. Graham hasn't seen NFL action since the 2021 season, when he put up just a 14-167-3 receiving line in Chicago across 15 games. Graham may be nothing more than a situational end-zone target if he does make the team, but it will be fitting if he's able to finish out his career as a member of the Saints after catching 51 touchdowns in five seasons and making three Pro Bowls with the franchise in the early 2010s.

Pruitt is re-signing with the Falcons on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Pruitt is returning to Atlanta after appearing in 13 contests for the team last season. The 31-year-old recorded career highs across the board, with 16 receptions on 21 targets, 150 yards and four touchdowns. He'll likely be working to earn a role as the team's No. 3 tight end, behind Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith.
