Banks (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Falcons on Sunday, Will McFadden of the team's official website reports.

Banks recorded two tackles during the preseason, but he appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury along the way. If he clears waivers, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with Atlanta. At that point, he'd need to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play in 2026.

The Raiders waived/injured Roberts (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Roberts signed with the Raiders in late April as an undrafted free agent out of BYU. The wide receiver participated in the first two preseason games for the team before succumbing to an unknown injury. Roberts will be subject to waivers, and if he clears, he will revert to the Raiders' injured reserve list. If Roberts reverts to IR, he will miss the entirety of the 2026 season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Minkins (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Cardinals on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Minkins has suffered an undisclosed injury, and he will now be placed on waivers. If the safety goes unclaimed, he'll revert to injured reserve with Arizona.

The Chiefs waived/injured Smith (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Smith participated in all three preseason games for the Chiefs, rushing four times for six yards in Friday's finale against the Seahawks. The running back likely picked up an injury in Friday's game.

Mays (wrist) was placed on injured reserve by the Lions on Sunday with a designation to return, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Mays suffered a fractured wrist during the preseason, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the regular season.

The Chiefs waived/injured Oladokun (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Oladokun participated in the first two preseason games for the Chiefs before missing the third due to injury. The quarterback completed 10 of his 17 pass attempts for 78 yards and an interception. The 28-year-old also rushed four times for 32 yards. Oladokun was unable to outperform Justin Fields or Garrett Nussmeier and will now be placed on waivers. The quarterback will likely go unclaimed and spend the entirety of the 2026 season on the Chiefs' injured reserve list unless he is waived with an injury settlement.
