The Patriots released Haskins on Saturday.

Haskins was let go in order to make room on the roster for Corey Kiner, who was just acquired in a trade with the Cardinals. Haskins had only signed with New England earlier this month and will now look to find a new opportunity elsewhere.

The Bills waived Skinner on Saturday.

The Bills claimed Skinner off waivers from the Jets in mid-July. The wide receiver was unable to win a reserve role in the team's corps, being surpassed by younger players with draft capital invested in them, such as Keon Coleman (foot) and Skyler Bell. Skinner will now be subject to waivers through Monday due to Sunday's cutdown day. If the 24-year-old goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any franchise's 53-man roster or practice squad.

The Bills released Pettis on Saturday.

Pettis signed with the Bills in late July. The wide receiver is a versatile special-teams player but could not do enough to make the roster over younger talent. The 30-year-old played in Thursday night's preseason finale against the Steelers, catching one of three targets for 16 yards. Pettis is now a free agent able to sign with any organization.

Johnson is dealing with an arm injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Johnson suffered the injury during Thursday's practice session, forcing him to leave early. While the severity of the injury is currently unknown, Jaylon Jones and Malik Muhammad could be in line for increased playing time should Johnson be forced to miss time during the regular season.

Schwesinger (undisclosed) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

Schwesinger had not practiced with the team yet in August. The Defensive Rookie of the Year's return is a huge boon for the Browns' defense as the team heads into the Week 1 contest with the Jaguars. Schwesinger is the defensive shot caller for Cleveland, so him reclaiming his first-team reps from Nathaniel Watson should kick the Browns' defense into another gear.

The Ravens waived Longerbeam on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Longerbeam was drafted in the sixth round last year but ended up missing the entirety of his rookie season due to a knee injury suffered in the preseason. The 25-year-old was not impressive enough this offseason to earn a roster spot but could land on the team's practice squad should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Eagles waived Wilson on Saturday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Wilson signed with the Eagles in early June as a depth addition to the team's defensive line. The undrafted free agent out of East Carolina was unable to break through the significant depth the team already has and will now be subject to waivers through Monday. If the 25-year-old remains unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any franchise's 53-man roster or practice squad.

The Panthers released Chisena (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Chisena had reverted to injured reserve late last month after picking up an injury in practice, but his time in Carolina has now come to an end. The 29-year-old will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.

The Panthers waived Cooks on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Cooks had signed with the team earlier this month but was unable to impress enough to earn a spot on the roster. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the 27-year-old could be a candidate to land on Carolina's practice squad.

Kamara (knee) will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara suffered a knee injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars. Once the MRI comes back, the team will likely make a decision on whether or not Kamara will have a shot to return this season, or if he will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.
