The Jaguars waived Boyd on Sunday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Boyd was unable to impress enough to earn a roster spot after having signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in April. The 24-year-old will now look to catch on with another team.

Smyth was waived by the Saints on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Smyth served as the Saints' kicker for the final six games of the 2025 regular season, but he has failed to make the team heading into the 2026 campaign. Even with Smyth out of the mix, the Saints still have two options left at kicker in Daniel Carlson and Tanner Brown. Per Triplett's colleague Nick Underhill, the Saints intend to keep Smyth on the practice squad if another team doesn't sign him.

The Chiefs waived Loyd on Sunday, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

Loyd's tenure with the Chiefs has seemingly come to an end after he joined the team as an undrafted free agent in May following a successful tryout. He will now look to catch on with another team.

Watson was released by the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Watson was in camp with the Texans after appearing in three regular-season games with Houston in 2025. The 30-year-old wide receiver is a veteran of 93 NFL games, so he may garner some interest as a depth option for a team in search of help in the passing game.

The Patriots waived Westover on Sunday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Westover spent the past two seasons with the team but was unable to earn a roster spot ahead of the upcoming campaign. The 27-year-old could be a candidate for a spot on New England's practice squad should he clear waivers.

Hagans was waived by the Colts on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

After Indianapolis signed Keenan Allen in mid August, Hagans was competing for one of the last spots on the depth chart, and he didn't do anything to separate himself during preseason action. The wide receiver was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May after catching 43 passes for 508 yards and six touchdowns at Duke in 2025.

Strong was cut by the Packers on Sunday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Strong fell out of the Packers' plans when Green Bay traded for Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson on Sunday. The 27-year-old Strong has appeared in 46 regular-season games, split between the Patriots and Browns, though he hasn't dressed for one since the 2024 campaign.

The Steelers are expected to trade Johnson to the Packers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Johnson thus will get a fresh start in Green Bay after the third-round investment made in him last year didn't pan out in Pittsburgh. Working behind Jaylen Warren and Kenny Gainwell in 2025, Johnson turned 28 carries into just 69 yards (2.5 YPC) and no touchdowns while hauling in one of two targets for nine yards in 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie. Johnson will join a Green Bay backfield led by Josh Jacobs (groin) and backed up by MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks.

Maclin was waived by the Bills on Sunday, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.

The wide receiver flashed big-play ability during the preseason with Buffalo, recording a 71-yard catch-and-run touchdown and a 37-yard over-the-shoulder grab in the same preseason game. It was just hard to crack a Buffalo receiver room filled with experienced pros like DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir (undisclosed), Keon Coleman (foot) and Joshua Palmer. Maclin will likely rejoin the team as part of its practice squad if he clears waivers, per Brasky.

The Buccaneers waived Williams on Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

Williams first joined Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent last season and spent time on both its active roster and practice squad during the 2025 campaign before signing a reserve/future contract with the team in January. The 25-year-old could be a candidate to land on the Buccaneers' practice squad once again should he clear waivers.
